Chapter 221 Bright Future 7 (1/2)

Race commentators had also realized that Jake was running at a high level, now Jake was no longer a stranger and was respected in the world of professional marathon athletes.

So this was the third time Jake had been running fast and commentators had already realized that this was Jake's racing strategy, he won in Chicago and was second in New York and only lost because he had an injury after almost beat the race record.

”And we see that as speculated Jake is really trying to participate in the Atlanta Olympics this year, this year he is 17 years old and everyone thought he was too young for that.”

”I don't think so, this is the third marathon he runs, he got great results in the first two and has been keeping a very strong pace for this one too.”

”True, we can't just see Jake as a young man, he is a pro and a favorite to get a place at the Olympics, but he forced a lot in the last New York marathon and ended the race with an injury, will he can you go well today?”

”From what I've seen he's running at a much slower pace than he did in New York, he also ran a portion of the group race preserving endurance and is preserving well-controlled running energy.”

”Now all that remains is whether he is doing this because he has learned to run more efficiently or because he has not yet fully recovered from his injury in the last marathon.”

While Jake was running commentators were trying to figure out what was happening to him, after all, athletes usually make mistakes and learn from experience by competing in multiple marathons before improving.

But even with all the flaws, Jake had won since his first marathon, so he was a rarity that everyone liked to talk about, not to mention that Jake was only 17 now which made him even more interesting to commentators.

Jake kept running at the same pace as he avoided wasting energy by slowing down the climb, so after 30 km of the marathon, he was still fine as usual.

Jake could feel that he was clearly much better than in the first marathon that ran in Chicago and much better than when he ran in New York, now Jake was finally realizing the advantage of getting two stat points after winning in Chicago.

Jake had a great advantage for the other participants while maintaining the same running pace as he went 35 km, only after that did Jake begin to feel his body heavy and tired.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please clickfor visiting.

Now with less than five km of the marathon left to win, Jake could feel that stopping for water at the support stations and other things he did differently this time helped a lot to make him run more comfortably this time.

”It looks like Jake is really in great shape in today's race, about five km to the end of the marathon and he doesn't look exhausted like other competitors at this point in the marathon.”

”We can see that Jake seems to have found the right race pace and has run the same way as the other runners, he really seems to be our greatest hope for winning the gold medal at this year's Olympics.”

”It's true, the fact that Jake is so young and so stable in his marathons makes him one of the best marathon athletes in the world today.”

After driving the 38 km Jake slowed his pace a bit, after all, he had a huge lead for second place and was still afraid of what happened in the last marathon to repeat again.

After all, he was still not very confident that he was completely healed of the psychological problem he had and could still win even if he held on to the final part of the marathon.

After going through 41 km Jake finally relaxed and realized that he could win today's marathon smoothly and get a seat at this year's Olympics, he was even dreaming about the gold medal.

”It looks like we already have a winner for this marathon today, Jake is almost entering the last mile of the race and has a huge advantage of over 3 minutes for the other competitors.”

”Second place finisher Bob Kempainen was ill at the last moments of the race, but he still stands firm in second and is well ahead of third place in the race.”

”So we will have our main representative for this year's marathon Olympics a 17-year-old Jake Smith is his name.”

This time Jake had no problem at the end of the race and can easily win and secure a place for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, Jake was relieved that it seemed his problem had been healed.

He finished the race in 2 hours, 8 minutes and 30 seconds earning $ 125,000, $ 100,000 to win and $ 25,000 for breaking the race record, so he was pleased with that, then Jake made a point of greeting Bob Kempainen that it would be the winner if it wasn't for him to participate this time.
