Asafa ......"

In his single-family villa in Kingston, Jamaica, Asafavir, who was doing recovery training at the gym, suddenly heard a rush of shouts outside the door.

"I'm here, Dole!" Asafavil got up from the remaining bouncy balls, picked up a towel and wiped the sweat from his face, and replied as he opened his mouth to the door.

Perhaps just finished the game, his face was slightly gloomy, and he was very careful about Fang Cai's training, he has not really started racing this season, but he has already suffered two injuries.

One was on February 12 when he tripped on a step at home before heading to Sydney for the Grand Prix. Another time was in mid-April, when he was doing strength training in weightlifting, which resulted in a chest muscle injury that forced surgery, and he still has a visible injury to his right armpit.

The doctor's advice was that it was best for him not to train for two months until his pectoral muscles were fully recovered. But seeing that the time for the Olympics is getting closer and closer, he can't sit still at all, and he can't wait anywhere slowly.

He doesn't dare to do particularly intense strength training yet, but he is already doing it with some adaptive training methods such as bouncy balls and swimming.

Athletes can't completely get out of training, and even if they are injured, they need to do some other forms of exercise to maintain their physical fitness.

Otherwise, no matter how good the talent and body are, as long as they leave the training and leave the field, it will not take too long, and the results will basically decline to varying degrees in ten days and half a month.

If you don't train at all and rest for a month or two, your athletic function will deteriorate very much, and it will take more time to get back to that peak competitive state.

And now, what he lacks most is time.

With less than three months to go until the 2008 Yenching Olympics, his men's 100m world record was broken by Ye Qin on May 22, although it was only a hundredth of a second improvement, but the record was broken and it was broken, which means that the owner of the men's 100m world record will never be him again.

He could feel the anxiety, the pressure, and a lot of uneasiness in his heart, all of which pushed him to recover as quickly as possible and devote himself to training and preparing for the game as quickly as possible.

Outside the gym door, the agent Dole had already walked in, looking at Asafavil with a somewhat complicated expression, "I bring you a piece of news that I don't know if it's good or bad." ”

"What's the news?" Asafavir frowned slightly, he rarely saw such a move by the economic man Dole.

"Yesterday was the New York Grand Prix, you know?" Agent Doeller continued.

"Of course, I know." Asafavier nodded, if it weren't for the injury, he would have been heading to New York for the Grand Prix this year.

Dole looked at Asafavil's eyes staring at him, paused slightly, and then spoke: "The men's 100m world record has been broken again. ”

"What? Who is it? Asafavir's face changed dramatically, and he suddenly became excited.

It's only been a week since Ye Qin broke the men's 100m world record at the Bird's Nest, how can it be broken again?

This is the men's 100m world record, which has been held by him for several years since 2005, when he beat Montgomery's time of 9.78 seconds (which was later cancelled due to drug bans).

Even before, Ye Qin equaled his world record once, and broke his world record by one hundredth of a second, which was enough to shock him, and now, in just a week, someone broke the world record again, and he could hardly believe what he heard.

Dole looked at Asafavil's excited expression, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said slowly, "It's Yusse, Yusse-Bot!" ”

"It's Yusse." Asafavier stood in place and froze slightly, muttering silently, "I thought it was Jason Gaby or Yechin, but Yusse has this strength and potential." ”

As for Yousse Bote, Asafavil knew early on that the other party was four or five years younger than him, but he became famous in Jamaica before him. In '02, he had just made his mark at the Commonwealth Games, when Use-Bote was already the world junior champion in the men's 200m, and was praised by all of Jamaica.

Since '05, he has been the flag of Jamaica, but since then, Yusse Bot has been in the top five and top eight in the world in the men's 200m.

He knew that Yusse Bot ran a 100-meter time of 9.76 seconds at the Jamaica Invitational last time, and he thought it was an accident, after all, the athlete is in shape, and it is possible to break out once or twice, but he didn't expect that Yusai Bot was not a coincidence or an unexpected overperformance, but the real strength has arrived.

For a while, Asafavir's mood was really complicated, on the one hand, he felt the strong pressure that he seemed to have become a wave in the front, and was forced to have no way back by the sprinting talents emerging from behind.

On the other hand, there is a sense of pride in the fact that Yusse Bot was able to break the men's 100m world record, which was won by another Jamaican less than a week after Yechin took away his men's 100m record. As a Jamaican, it's better to be outdone by your own countrymen than by players from other countries.

But the strong competitiveness and self-esteem of being an athlete still can't let go of him at this time.

For the past three years, he has dominated the men's 100m event, and now all of a sudden there is a huge sense of loss that the throne is occupied, and he feels resentful, and he wants to return to the field, to return to the track, to win back the record he lost!

"Asafa, I know you're anxious right now, but you have to know that what you need most now is to adjust and recover so that you can play in better shape."

Agent Doler had read what Asafarville meant.

Even though Asafavil seems a little shy in front of the media and everyone, he is still extremely proud in his heart. On that sleepless night at the World Championships in Osaka, Dole heard Asafavil shouting loudly that no one could take away his world record.

He knows what this world record means to Asafavir, so he can better understand Asafavir's mood at this moment.

The fact that the world records he set were broken one after another is a huge sense of loss and means that he is a thing of the past, and when people mention the men's 100m world record, they only think of another person, not Asafavil.

"Don't worry, Dole!" Asafavil looked at his agent and said with a smile, "I'm not like I don't have enough mental strength for the Olympics as the media says. ”

Many people in the media now seem to have seen through Asafavir, and although the Olympics are still some time away, many sports commentators and journalists have said that he lacks the mental strength needed to compete for Olympic gold medals. If the 2007 World Championships in Osaka were the same, Asafavil was not lacking in strength and ability, but he lacked a strong heart and the competitive spirit to be able to go head-to-head with his opponents.

"The Olympics don't intimidate me, and the opponents I'm going to meet in Yenching are no different from what I've met in other arenas over the years. It's just that the competition has a different name. ”

Asafavier said slowly, as if to comfort his agent, and as if to say to himself, "I don't know why those people in the media think that I might not perform well in the final, if you look back at the previous competition, I participated in the Athens Olympics for the first time in '04 and I performed very well in the final.

The World Championships in Osaka was the only final I didn't do as expected, and I made a very big mistake and I promise it won't happen again.

I was the only one who could defeat me, but for now, I won't let myself fail! ”
