Chapter 3245 The 100-meter Sprint Battle!
The cheers for Shi Baobao's victory in the men's 50-meter race hadn't even faded when the announcement for the girls' 100-meter final for lower grades came over the loudspeaker.
Dudu had just finished the last piece of beef jerky, brushed the crumbs off her hands, and said, "Xiaobai, we're off to the competition!"
Xiao Bai withdrew her gaze from Li Yuxiao's back and walked towards the check-in area.
Zhang Tan followed behind, clutching two bottles of warm water, repeatedly reminding him: "Pay attention to your rhythm while running, don't rush to sprint, it's more important to exert force in the later stages! More importantly, don't get injured."
There were even more people at the check-in area than during the 50-meter final, with many coaches and spectators crowding around.
Besides wanting to see Dudu break the 50-meter record, everyone is even more eager to see her duel with Li Sinan from Chianan Elementary School.
Li Sinan was last year's district-level 100-meter champion, and has not lost for two consecutive years. She is tall and has long limbs, making her stand out in the crowd.
When she saw Dudu approaching, she went to greet her with a scrutinizing look in her eyes.
"You're Zhao Chendu?" Li Sinan's voice was clear and crisp, with a touch of maturity for someone so young.
Dudu nodded, a red ribbon still tied around her forehead.
Li Sinan asked, "What's that tied around your forehead?"
Dudu tugged at the red ribbon and asked, "This? This is my competition declaration!"
The declaration is: Charge out like cannonballs!
It was a slogan that Liuliu had shouted to her before, which Liuliu insisted on being printed on a red ribbon and tied to her forehead, so that it would be as if she was cheering Dudu on at any time.
Li Sinan glanced at Xiaobai, who was also wearing a red ribbon, and asked Dudu, "Is she with you too?"
Dudu nodded and said, "We are all Little Red Horses, and she is Little White Horse..."
Li Sinan interrupted, saying, "I watched your 50-meter preliminary and final races. You ran very fast. Have you participated in professional sprint training?"
Dudu paused, glancing at Xiaobai. She hadn't even finished introducing Xiaobai yet, but it was clear that Li Sinan wasn't interested in Xiaobai, only in her.
Little White muttered "shovel" under his breath.
It's unbelievable that one day I would be ignored, but that's how competitive sports are—the winner takes all.
Just as Xiaobai was about to feel relieved, she heard a voice whispering in her ear, "She looks down on you. It's infuriating! You can't stand it."
You don't even need to turn your head to know that it was Liuliu who said that.
Xiao Bai rolled her eyes at her, snatched half a beef jerky from her hand, and put it in her mouth to chew.
On the other side, Dudu said, "No, I just like to run. I usually chase after Liuliu in the school or play soccer with Xiaobai."
Li Sinan paused for a moment, then smiled, her eyes filled with even greater approval: "You are very talented, with explosive power and stride frequency far exceeding those of your peers. However, the 100-meter dash is different from the 50-meter dash; it requires endurance and rhythm. You are no match for me."
Her tone was sincere, without a hint of boasting: "I suggest you go for professional training; your talent shouldn't be wasted."
Dudu blinked, thought seriously for a few seconds, and said, "But I haven't decided which sport I want to practice yet. I also like archery and weightlifting, and I'm learning double-sword martial arts. I've been kayaking since I was little, and I can also skateboard and ride a bicycle!"
As Dudu rattled off a list of items, Li Sinan's eyes widened in shock as she stared at the petite girl before her.
She assumed the other person, like herself, focused all their energy on sprinting, but she was surprised to find they had such a wide range of interests.
The coach from Chianan Elementary School next to them was also stunned and couldn't help but interject, "Kid, have you really tried all of these activities?"
Dudu nodded.
Li Sinan said seriously, "You shouldn't waste your talent like this, spending your time and energy on so many projects. This will only make you achieve nothing, and none of the projects will succeed."
Dudu said seriously, "I will think about it carefully."
Xiao Bai finally found an opportunity to retaliate, saying, "Who says Dudu can't succeed in any project? She's a champion in archery, a champion in skateboarding, and she's about to participate in the city-wide martial arts competition. And kayaking—she's winning awards left and right..."
Li Sinan's eyes widened, thinking that Xiaobai was talking nonsense and she didn't believe her at all.
She asked Dudu for confirmation, and Dudu nodded, admitting that she had indeed won many championships.
She wouldn't flaunt her achievements, but she wouldn't hide them either; she's not someone who can't be brought into the light.
Xiao Bai laughed and walked away. She loved seeing people make a fuss over nothing because they had never seen the world before.
Liu Liu grabbed her arm, spitting as she said, "Xiao Bai! You have to do your best! Strive for first place! Even if you can't beat Du Du, you can't lose to that Li Si Nan! We can't lose face for our Little Red Horse!"
Xiao Bai nodded earnestly: "I know! I will do my best to win first place!"
Liuliu was surprised and said, "Take first place? Or don't. Just try to get second place."
Xiao Bai said, "The competition hasn't even started yet, how can I give up? Why would I participate in the competition if I'm not aiming for first place?"
Liuliu said, "You can't outrun Dudu, you'll just end up eating dust."
Without warning, Xiaobai used his "flower kick" to try and knock Liuliu down, but Liuliu is now much bigger and bigger than the little pomegranate that Xiaobai used to toss around when she was a child.
The two remained locked in a stalemate, neither able to gain the upper hand.
Finally, persuaded by Zhang Tan, and with everyone going all out, Xiao Bai threatened, "I'll settle the score with you after the competition."
Liuliu said, "You won't be able to find me after the competition."
Xiao Bai asked, "Where are you going?"
Liu Liu said, "I want to go to Tiananmen Square in the capital."
Xiaobai didn't want to talk to this silly boy anymore; he was being irrelevant. She turned and called out to the crowd, "Xiwawa! Come here!"
Hearing the shouts, Xiwawa immediately ran over and asked, "Xiaobai, what's wrong?"
Xiao Bai pulled her aside and whispered, "Quick, give me a blessing and wish me to win first place in the competition."
Stubborn Xiaobai was still unconvinced. How could he know he couldn't be number one if he hadn't even tried?
Xi'er reached out her little hand and gently touched the top of Xiaobai's head. She was about to speak in a serious tone when Xiaobai interrupted her, saying, "Wait, you need to increase your magic power. First, touch the baby Buddha, then touch the top of my head and give me your blessing."
"Good~"
Xiwa did not hesitate to grant Xiaobai's request. She immediately took out the warm and smooth baby Buddha from around her neck, touched it solemnly, and then reached out to touch Xiaobai's head, saying, "Xiaobai, you will run very fast, like the wind! You will get a good ranking."
Xiao Bai laughed like a little fox: "Hehehe~~ You'll sit next to me at the celebration banquet tonight. No one will dare to touch their chopsticks if you don't come."
Xi'er smiled and said, "Didn't you say the same thing to Xiao Weiwei?"
Xiao Bai said, "You sit to my left, and she sits to my right. You two are my right and left arms."
The 100-meter race runners walked to the starting line one after another. There were eight people in total. The four runners with the best time drew lots to occupy the four lanes 3, 4, 5 and 6. Among them, Dudu was in lane 5 and Li Sinan was in lane 4, both of which were middle lanes.
Xiaobai was in a worse situation. She finished sixth in the finals and had to draw lots with the fifth-place finisher to decide who would be in the first and second lanes. In the end, Xiaobai drew the first lane, which is the innermost lane.
Liu Liu and her Little Red Horse buddies stood at the front of the stands, holding up various support signs and shouting: "Little White! Dudu! Charge out like cannonballs—Little Red Horse never gives up!"
The referee raised the starting pistol, and the entire stadium fell silent instantly, with only the sound of the wind blowing across the track.
"On your marks—get set!"
Eight figures simultaneously bent over and lunged, placing their hands on the ground.
Dudu kept her body low to the ground, her eyes fixed on the finish line ahead.
Li Sinan maintained a standard sprinting posture, her muscles tense, ready to go.
Xiaobai took a deep breath, kept Xier's blessing in her heart, and adjusted her breathing rhythm.
"boom!"
The moment the starting gun fired, the eight figures shot off like arrows released from a bow!
Li Sinan had an extremely fast start and instantly gained a slight advantage.
Dudu followed closely behind, her calves moving as if they were equipped with a small motor, her pace was astonishingly fast.
Xiaobai also gave it his all. He had a decent start and ranked fourth, but his pace was steady, and he gradually moved forward.
"Go for it! Dudu!"
"Charge, Li Sinan!"
"Go, Little White! —"
"Auntie, I love you—"
The cheers from the stands were deafening.
When they reached the 30-meter mark, Dudu had already caught up with Li Sinan, and the two ran side by side, their figures almost overlapping.
When they reached the 50-meter mark, they still hadn't separated, and even their arm swing frequency was surprisingly consistent.
Li Sinan was secretly surprised. She didn't expect Dudu to have such good stamina, being able to keep up with her pace for the first 50 meters!
Just then, Dudu suddenly shouted, "Let's end it like this!"
Then, he suddenly increased the speed of his arm swing, and the force of his legs pushing off the ground also increased instantly. His body leaned forward even more, like a charging cheetah, and he gradually widened the distance between them!
The last 50 meters is Li Sinan's strong point. In the past, she would overtake her opponents in this stage. But this time, she tried her best to accelerate, but found that the distance between her and Dudu was getting further and further away!
"How can it be?!"
Li Sinan's heart skipped a beat, and she was so shocked that she forgot to catch her breath.
She watched helplessly as Dudu's figure receded into the distance. His pace didn't slow down at all; instead, it quickened. The hem of his tracksuit fluttered high in the wind, like a small flag.
So shocked was she that her breathing and running rhythm became disordered, allowing the runners behind her to catch up quickly. Startled, she quickly cleared her mind and focused on the present moment.
Xiaobai and the runners in lane three were almost neck and neck, with Li Sinan, who was half a body length ahead of them, just ahead of them.
"First place! Little Red Horse Zhao Chendu!!"
As the referee called, Dudu crossed the finish line first, almost two body lengths ahead of Li Sinan!
Li Sinan narrowly escaped unharmed and followed closely behind. After crossing the finish line, she could no longer hold on and gasped for breath, her eyes filled with shock as she looked at Dudu ahead.
"Little White! Little White!! Go for it—"
The crowd in the stands erupted in cheers, and then chanted in unison to cheer for Little White!
Xiao Bai was competing with the girl in lane three for third place. In the end, as Xiao Bai was crossing the finish line, she had a sudden inspiration and stretched her head to cross the line, reaching the finish line before the runner in lane three!
"Third place! Little Red Horse White Camellia!"
After crossing the finish line, Dudu ran a few more steps before stopping. When she turned around and saw Xiaobai running towards her, she immediately went to meet her and helped Xiaobai up.
Li Sinan walked over, wiped the sweat from her forehead, and looked at Zhao Chendu with admiration, her eyes filled with respect, not disappointment: "Zhao Chendu, you're really amazing. I admit defeat wholeheartedly."
She turned and shouted in the direction of the coach from Chianan Elementary School, "Coach! Come here quickly!"
The coach from Chianan Elementary School had already run over, staring at Dudu with shining eyes, even more excited than if he had won the championship himself.
Li Sinan, holding Dudu's hand, said to the coach, "Coach, look at her talent! She hasn't had any professional training, yet she can run so fast! You must take her on and let her train in sprinting! She will definitely become a very good sprinter in the future!"
The coach nodded repeatedly, looking at Dudu with an exceptionally gentle tone: "Little friend, would you like to train with a professional track and field team? We have the best coaches who can help you run even faster!"
Dudu scratched her head, looked at Qin Jianguo and Zhang Tan who were walking over, and whispered, "I need to ask my mom and dad. I also want to play archery and martial arts..."
The coach smiled and said, "It's okay, you can try it first. If you like it, you're welcome to come anytime! Even if you don't train for sprinting, your athletic talent shouldn't be wasted."
After saying that, he left with Li Sinan. Little Red Horse wanted to celebrate, and a group of children ran over, surrounding Little White and Dudu and shouting.
Liuliu hugged Dudu tightly and, taking advantage of her inattention, kissed her on the cheek.
"Ouch!" Dudu covered her face, feeling ambushed.
Liuliu laughed loudly, letting go of her and then hugging Xiaobai again. She even struggled to lift Xiaobai up, exclaiming, "Xiaobai, you're amazing! Our little red horses have taken first and second place! Who else?! I'm asking you, who else!!!"
Xi'er corrected her, saying, "It's not champion and runner-up, it's champion and third place."
Liuliu didn't care at all: "Who cares? Why take it so seriously?!"
Little White struggled to get down: "Put me down, put me down!"
Liuliu put her down, too tired to carry her anymore, and said, "I'm not surprised that Dudu came in first, but I really didn't expect you to come in third, Xiaobai. I thought you were last!"
Xiao Bai said, "Thank you so much, Liu Liu!"
Xiaomi excitedly said, "Xiaobai has broken through his own limits and perfectly demonstrated what the spirit of hard work is."
