Bang!

The sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came from the gym again.

Glenn Mills stood to the side with a shy stomach, looking at the panting black youth in front of him, with the most satisfied smile on his face in the three seasons the two have worked together.

"Take a break, Usain."

Glenn Mills smiled and beckoned to the black youth, "I'm glad I've been doing your lately, you've done all the endurance training I've been assigned and you're ...... in strength."

Glenn Mills pointed to the black youth's body, "Your progress has also far exceeded my expectations!" ”

"Alright, Coach." The black young man gasped in place, slightly moving his sore muscles, and seemed not to be as proud and happy as he used to be at these compliments, but replied in a natural tone, "I still have three sets of strength training to complete. Like we said on the first day of training, whatever training you give me, I'm going to do it. If you ask me to run 10 300-meter training runs, I won't just run 9 sets. You need me to do an hour of strength training, I won't be lazy for a minute, and I won't complain a word. ”

Glenn Mills shook his head, this training agreement was reached between the two after returning from the World Championships in Osaka, at first Glenn Mills was skeptical, given the disciple's previous bad deeds, he once thought that the other party was playing tricks on him again.

The black young man who occasionally shouted that he had to train hard and do well in the field would end up skipping his morning training and cutting corners during training tasks to fool him.

But it was really a surprise to Glenn Mills, and for the first time in three seasons, a young black man had fulfilled his promise in its entirety.

In his own words, he showed the same enthusiasm as his own dad did when he was working in the village of Coxis, with a huge sense of urgency at every turn.

Usain Bolt, who often complained during training, became a different person for Glenn Mills.

Big events can change an athlete, and Glenn Mills, who has coached for many years, has always been well aware of that.

The biggest reason why there are often coaches who do everything possible to throw young, promising athletes into world-class competitions is to let them "see the world".

Only by really participating in the top competitions and facing one top master after another can young athletes fundamentally realize the gap.

This gap for the vast majority of young athletes stimulates a stronger sense of competitiveness and the ability to better execute the coach's training plan.

Before Glenn Mills trained with Usain Bolt, he was already a fairly successful young athlete, breaking the world junior sprint record and having a large following in Jamaica. He has participated in the Olympics and although he has not performed well due to injuries, he is still successful all over the world for his age.

Glenn Mills had always thought that maybe that kind of stimulus wouldn't be too effective, and even if he occasionally brought up how much top athletes earned, it was often only for a short time.

But the excitement of the 2007 World Championships in Osaka and the upcoming 2008 Olympics suddenly made some people unrecognizable to Glenn Mills.

In life, Usain Bolt, who often hangs out in nightclubs and loves junk food, suddenly quits junk food, turns off his mobile phone, and spends every Saturday night relaxing in the calm of not having any friends and parties.

In the middle of the handicap, even if Glenn Mills asked him to run 9 laps around the track in the middle of the night, he would run 9 laps, and if he wanted him to run faster, he would run faster.

It has almost become a role model for an athlete.

Every time Glenn Mills watched him train, he could see the amazing desire to win in the eyes of the other party, the runner-up was good, the third place was good, but why couldn't it be the champion?!

Occasionally, Glenn Mills lamented that if this had been the case a few seasons earlier, the current situation in world athletics would have been different.

However, it is not too late, and it can even be said that it is just right.

Another set of barbells leaned over the row, and the black youth stood up straight, gasping for air.

Glenn Mills walked up to him again and said, "Usain, Daniel Bailey from Antigua and Barbuda will come over tomorrow to train with you. ”

"Whew......" The young black man let out a long breath and looked up at Glenn Mills with an excited look on his face, "Very good, coach, I have a new opponent again." I've heard that Daniel's skills are excellent and that he would be the best person to test the results of his training. ”

Daniel Bailey's reputation was not well known in later generations, but the 1986-born Antigua and Barbuda sprinter competed at the Athens Olympics in 2004 and was a sprinter specializing in the 100m. What people are happy about is not how strong Daniel Bailey is, but that he has a spirit that refuses to admit defeat, whether it is in training or competition, he has always been the best one.

If it was in the 200m, Usain Bolt wouldn't be too concerned at this time, but he was going to start in the 100m, and he didn't have enough confidence in this field yet. Daniel Bailey is a good athlete in the Caribbean and is undoubtedly his best competitor at the moment.

……

The two athletes who refused to admit defeat got together, and the training instantly became tense and lively.

In the track and field field of Kingston High Performance Training Center, after a clear whistle sounded, in front of the starting line of the 100-meter track of the track and field field, two figures, one tall and one short, suddenly rushed out.

This kind of training has been present in the track and field since a few weeks ago, and it has gradually become a sight to behold.

The shorter one is Daniel Bailey, who has a very good starting technique, despite not breaking the 10-second mark this year. After rushing out of the starting line, he ran like a beast, burying his head in the front and rushing forward, never looking back.

The other tall black young man had a clear gap in starting, but the astonishing stride and unusually fast stride brought by the tall body were in a catch-up position from the start.

But as the speed got faster and faster, to the 40-50m position, the tall black youth overtook Daniel Bailey, and that advantage continued to expand until the final finish line.

"You've won again!"

Before the finish line, Daniel was breathing a little hard, looking at the tall black young man and said helplessly.

Even with his strong heart, after losing more than a dozen times in a row, he gradually understood the gap in absolute strength.

Daniel Bailey entered the Runners Club this year as an athlete under Glenn Mills and began training with Usain Bolt.

Usain Bolt's prowess Daniel Bailey has long heard of it, and at both the Jamaica National Championships and the World Championships in Osaka, Bolt is currently the top athlete in the 200m.

But in the 100m event, Daniel Bailey always thought that he should be able to win, and it took too much time for such a big man to accelerate at the start.

In the first few weeks, Daniel Bailey always won by his strong starting advantage, but this week, after being overtaken by Usain Bolt in the 40m position, he found that he could no longer win in the 100m event.

As long as he is led by the opponent, in the last forty meters, it is almost impossible for him to chase back. The unheard-of high-speed cadence of that tall athlete simply made Daniel Bailey feel incredible.

"Daniel, I'm improving!"

The tall black youth grinned and patted his chest, and reached out to rub the other's hair habitually.

"Yes, you're improving again, Usain, you should be able to run 10 seconds." Daniel Bailey shrunk his head and avoided the other man's big hand to ravage his hair. Both are the same age group and despite the fierce competition in training, they have been getting along well for a few weeks.

"10 seconds? That's not my goal. The young black man shook his head, a little proud: "My goal is the Olympics." ”

Half a year has passed since last year's World Championships, and half a year has been the hardest working day since he became an athlete, sometimes even overdone.

For many nights, he felt like he had dried the last drop of sweat. But in just 24 hours, he was once again active on the track and field.

Osaka World Championships men's 200m, Suzu 19.37 seconds!

Su Zu said to him after the game, "You will be my strongest opponent"!

Countless times when he feels like slacking off and wants to go out and have fun with his sister, it will come to his mind.

And after such diligent training, the effect is obvious.

He was rewarded immediately.

His original height of 6 feet 5 inches made him look a little thin, but now his body has become very strong, his arms that have just finished strength training are like steel cast iron, his abdominal muscles are beautiful, and his calves and thighs are strong and powerful.

Just standing there, standing on the runway, one can feel the powerful explosive power contained in the slender and powerful body.

He felt so powerful that every time he looked in the mirror he thought to himself, "Wow, Bolt, you look so powerful!" ”

He felt like a well-tuned and well-maintained vehicle, in top condition, from the engine to the wheels.

Now, with enough fuel stored in his vehicle, he is confident he can overtake Tyson Gay, overtake Wallace Spearmon, overtake Suzu and even any 200-meter opponent at the 200-meter corner.

And in the 100m event, he has also made amazing progress.

Weeks have passed, and he has been thrown off from the start, and now Daniel Bailey is no match for him.

He needs to compete, he needs to go to the arena to find more opponents to test the results of his training!

On March 8 he will have a 100m race in Spaintown, Jamaica, while Kingston on May 3 will be a brand new event, the Jamaica Invitational.

What's after that?

The Reebok Grand Prix in New York? Jamaica National Championships? Or the Stockholm Super Prix?

Doesn't matter.

All the games before the Olympics were just a warm-up.

I'm ready for the Olympics!
