Chapter 4

However, the two did not know how shocking the result today was. Although it was far from the world record of 1500 meters held by Moroccan star Queroy, it should be noted that it was run by a primary school student under 11 years old, only 150 cm tall, and not professional track and field training. Moreover, this result was very close to the national youth record of 3 minutes 47 seconds 13 set by Ding Weifeng at the 1990 National Youth Track and Field Championships. Ding Weifeng was 16 years old when he ran this result. After 10 years of professional training, he had achieved such a good result. At that time, he was already recognized as a male middle- and long-distance running genius who had only produced one in ten years in China. However, Li Tian should be even better.

The two people who knew nothing about this focused on training in the remaining few days, and Li Tian's performance also made great progress under Zhao Rong's so-called special training. From the beginning of 3 minutes and 50 seconds to 3 minutes and 45 seconds, it was unknowingly broken the national youth record that Ding Weifeng had maintained for 11 years.

"Xiaotian, tomorrow is the competition. Today we don't run with all our strength. We can go back after a few laps. We have a good rest tonight and strive for a big victory tomorrow." The 1500-meter race was arranged to be held on the morning of the last day of the school movement. The first and tenth classes in the previous two days were running side by side, and they steadily occupied the top two of the fifteen classes, so tomorrow's competition became the final decisive battle.

"Dad, mom, are you free tomorrow?" Zhao Rong asked when she returned home and the whole family sat together for dinner in the evening.

"Tomorrow? Tomorrow is the weekend. Mom is free, so why do you want to let mom take you where to play?"

"Dad will have a meeting to attend tomorrow afternoon. There is still time for breakfast and afternoon. Is there anything wrong with our Rongrong?"

"That's great! As long as you have time in the morning, you'll be fine." The two secretly prepared for so long, just to surprise their parents tomorrow morning. When they heard that they were free, they cheered together.

"What's the good thing? Look at you two have been mysterious these days." Zhou Ling asked lovingly with her two little heads.

"I can't say it now. You and Dad will know that you will come to school together before 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Remember to come on time!" Zhao Rong still planned to keep the surprise until the end.

"Okay! Your mother and I will arrive on time tomorrow to see what kind of surprises you will give us tomorrow." Zhao Qingguo agreed readily.

The next morning, Zhao Rong and Li Tianxian went to school. During the school sports meeting, students went to school at normal times. Before leaving, they repeatedly reminded their parents several times to come to school on time.

At 9:30, half an hour before the 1500-meter race, Li Tian had already started to do warm-up exercises, but his parents had not arrived yet, which made him very anxious.

"Xiaotian, you are warming up here alone. I'll go to the school gate to pick up my parents. Don't worry, they will definitely watch your game on time." Zhao Rong couldn't sit still when she saw that her parents hadn't arrived for a long time.

"What's wrong? I haven't come yet. Xiaotian's game is about to start soon." Twenty minutes passed, but his parents were still missing. Zhao Rong was so anxious that she was walking around the school gate.

"Rongrong!" The Zhao couple in the distance saw their daughter in front of the door from a distance.

"Mom, dad, why are you here so late?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, when I was driving here just now, the guard didn't let the car park in front of the door, so we had to drive to the parking lot in front. We came too late!" Seeing his daughter's anxious look, Zhao's father explained.

"It's still time that Xiaotian's competition is about to begin, come with me." After looking at the watch, it was already 9:50, Zhao Rong pulled her parents to run to the sports field.

"Fortunately, I caught up." When he ran to the stands in the sports field, Li Tian was collecting the number for the competition. He immediately noticed the arrival of the Zhao couple, and was relieved.

"Rongrong, you asked us to come today to let us see your school sports meeting?" Zhao's father asked.

"Yes, but it's not watching other people's games, but watching Xiaotian's games."

"Watch Xiaotian's competition, did Xiaotian participate? I haven't heard you talk about it, where is Xiaotian now?"

"Mom, don't we want to give you a surprise? Xiaotian is on the runway now!" Zhao Rong pointed at Li Tian who was waving hard at the three of them.

"Dad, Xiaotian is very good at running, and he can achieve excellent standards or above. I think no one in our school can beat him. Today he will definitely get the first place, so you can watch it well."

"Is that so? Then let's all wait to watch Xiaotian's performance." Zhao Qingguo is now the principal of the sports school. He has never seen any kind of sports seedlings. In his consciousness, this kind of primary school sports meet is like a game. Although Huaxing Primary School is among the best in the city in terms of teaching quality, its sports level is not very good. At least none of the athletes in the junior group of his sports school are students of Huaxing Primary School. Maybe Xiaotian is better among these ordinary students, and the excellent standard mentioned by his daughter may be the standard in the physical education standards of primary school students in the city.

"Rongrong, what kind of project is Xiaotian participating in? It's about to start." Zhou Ling saw Li Tian and other players heading towards the starting line together.

"It's 1,500 meters. He was trained by me. I'll make training records for him." Zhao Rong proudly took out the stopwatch and recorder and lit it.

"Rongrong, give the stopwatch to your father. This is a very expensive thing. Don't take it out and play with it next time without my permission." Zhao Rong had no choice but to return the watch to her father obediently.

"Ah! It's started!" A gunshot on the field, Zhao Rong realized that the game had officially begun. Under his professional habits, Zhao Qingguo unconsciously pressed the stopwatch in his hand and started timing.

At the beginning of the competition, many contestants began to rush forward. No matter what they preserved their physical strength, they just wanted to run in front and show their faces. Li Tian also followed them closely, so after half a circle, almost all the people who rushed in front slowed down like anger, leaving Li Tian alone in front. He was not trying to show off, but at his speed, he was far beyond his peers. He was running at the pace of training these days.

"Why did Xiaotian rush so hard at the beginning? He wouldn't leave some strength behind, and there were three laps! How could he bear his physical strength?" Zhou Ling and Zhao Qingguo have been married for so long and have some understanding of track and field. Her thoughts are also Zhao Qingguo's own opinion. In his opinion, Li Tian did rush too fast. Only Zhao Rong stood aside and didn't care, because in the past few days, she had experienced Li Tian running the whole process at this speed, and she was sprinting in the last lap. Now Li Tian has not tried her best.

After the first three quarter lap, Li Tian took the lead and left the second place nearly thirty meters. This made the students in Class 1 crazy. No matter which place he was in the end, he was the first place anyway. Dozens of students rushed onto the runway and gathered around the finish line to cheer for Li Tian crazy.

Listening to the cheering and cheering voices brought to him by the classmates, Li Tian felt his heart getting more and more excited. Infinite power seemed to arise in his small body, which prompted him to speed up a little further.

"Huh!" When Li Tian ran the second lap, Zhao Qingguo began to realize something was wrong. According to what he thought, Li Tian's speed should have slowed down. However, on the track, Li Tian's small figure ran faster and faster. He subconsciously looked at the stopwatch in his hand, which surprised him. Li Tian's first 400-meter score made many high school players in the sports school feel ashamed. Zhao Qingguo also began to be excited, and his eyes were fixed on the small figure that was increasingly surprised.

"It's improved again!" Li Tian's second lap score was one second faster than the first lap, which made Zhao Qingguo scream, completely ignoring his wife's inquiring gaze.

"I said Xiaotian is very powerful! He was trained by me." Zhao Rong said proudly when she heard her father's cry. But Zhao Qingguo is now completely in a state, and is very dedicated, hoping that Li Tian will bring him greater surprises, and he never heard what he said to his daughter.

"Okay, very good, stick with it! Keep it!" Zhao Qingguo secretly encouraged himself. As long as Li Tian can run the last lap at the current speed, he will likely run into the 3 minutes and 50 seconds of the "National Youth Professional Athlete Evaluation Standard" 1500m event. At this time, Zhao Qingguo suddenly remembered that his daughter said at the beginning that Xiaotian met the excellent standard. Could it be that she is referring to?

"Rongrong, where did you find the excellent standard you just mentioned?" Zhao Qingguo hurriedly asked his daughter for his doubts in order to solve his doubts.

"Where did you find it? I saw it in the manual in your room!" The manual in the room was not the "Standard Manual for the Assessment of Track and Field Competitions" - the National Evaluation Standard for Professional Athletes in Youth? Listening to his daughter's answer, he felt a little urge to faint. These two children actually used the standards of professional athletes at a primary school sports meeting.

"Okay! Xiaotian is going to make the final sprint. Come on, Xiaotian!" The daughter's loud scream surprised Zhao Qingguo, who had just come to his senses.

"Did Xiaotian still have the energy to make the final sprint after such a long distance running?" Zhao Qingguo immediately looked at the track of the stadium.

"Fight!" Only the last half circle was left with all the strength of his body, and he was speeding on the last two hundred meters of the track. The deafening cheers of the students kept stirring his heart, making him excited and making him crazy.

One hundred meters...eighty meters...fifty meters...last ten meters...amid the cheers of all the classmates, Li Tian was the first to cross the finish line. All the students on the sidelines gathered around them, cheering for their heroes and blessings for their heroes. No one paid attention to who was the second place. All the focus was on Li Tian. Ren Dahai and a few boys even lifted Li Tian up.
