After Leaving the Sports Circle, I Became a Cooking God (Completed BL)

Chapter 153-154

China and Japan have had a history of athletic competitions, including regular track and field matchups between the two countries. Japan has had more advanced sprinting techniques compared to China, especially in the 100m sprint. While China has athletes like Fang Yu to maintain face in the 100m, the number of Chinese athletes who can run under 10.20 seconds in the 100m is much fewer than in the Japanese team.

All members of Japan's 4x100m relay team can run under 10.20 seconds, while the Chinese team's four athletes can only barely average under 10.30 seconds.

Furthermore, Japan's current national record in the 400m sprint is also held by an Asian athlete.

Taking these details into account, it's clear that Japan has excelled in sprinting events.

Before the rise of China's 400m project, the Chinese team had not been able to gain any advantages over the Japanese team in sprinting events, except for athletes like Fang Yu and Wu Yi. However, starting from last year's Asian Games, the Chinese team gained an advantage with the inclusion of Su Bai, as described by Ryuunosuke Arakawa. The Chinese team now holds the upper hand against Japan.

In the coaches' WeChat group, there was a moment of silence as everyone contemplated this revelation.

After a while, Pei Jin'an was the first to speak: 【This Ryuunosuke Arakawa approached Su Bai earlier on the field, and I initially thought he was just a young and arrogant coach trying to assert his presence. But from Japan's perspective, it seems that the Chinese team has suddenly become a formidable opponent in their eyes. No wonder they're calling it a 'revenge match'.】

In the group, everyone pondered this. If the Chinese team suddenly found themselves dominated by a weaker team in an area they excelled in, they would likely feel a strong desire to seek revenge.

Upon seeing this message, Su Bai finally smiled and said, 【Well, if that's the case, let's prepare ourselves and face their challenge head-on.】

The coaches in the group chuckled at his response and agreed that they should convey Japan's "revenge" attitude to the relay team members.

Jiang Wentao added, 【Since they're coming for revenge, we'll be ready to face them!】

It was clear that the Chinese relay team was prepared to meet Japan's challenge with determination.

After Pei Jin'an and Su Bai summoned the relay team members for a meeting and shared the news about Japan's "revenge match," the expressions on their faces ranged from disbelief to excitement. Only Qiu Wen displayed a rather eager attitude.

"What's there to be afraid of? Let's go for it!" Qiu Wen declared confidently. "Let them know why our flag is flying high!"

Zhang Ziyi, with a wry smile, tried to calm down Qiu Wen. "Alright, we're not going to fight, you know."

In reality, Japan's attitude made the athletes in the room feel proud. The term "revenge match" implied a desire to avenge past losses, and why did they want to do that? Because China had been winning.

Especially in the 400m event, China had been consistently dominated by Japan in the past. Now, China was being referred to by Japan as a "beast baring its fangs," and this contrast filled the athletes, including Zhang Ziyi, with pride.

Su Bai looked at the group and smiled. "Based on what we've learned from Japanese media reports and the sentiments of the Japanese public, it's clear that tomorrow's competition will have a significant number of spectators coming to witness this 'revenge match.' These spectators will undoubtedly be fully supportive of the Japanese team."

The relay team members exchanged glances, understanding the significance of the situation. They were prepared to face Japan's challenge and were aware that the competition would have high stakes, given the "revenge" narrative.
