528 The Final Proof (2/2)

Age was the biggest enemy of any athlete, an unbeatable enemy. Therefore, Baccus should seize his last chance in this competition.

During my entire career, I was overshadowed by Feixiang Lin. I couldn't defeat him because he was the world record holder. I couldn't do anything about it!

When I was in my prime, I had to compete with several strong American competitors. I couldn't defeat them because I wasn't lucky enough to overcome all of them. I couldn't do anything about that either!

But today, without Feixiang Lin and those top American opponents, how dare you,Reed, stand in my way! How dare you take the championship from me!

Baccus gave Reed a sidelong glance. He began to get angry. It was not because he looked down on the Jamaican, but because hehad gained nothing from all his persistence!

I need this gold medal. I need to prove to this world that I am able to win this.

Baccus looked determined and he wanted to prove to the others that he had been right not to retire.

...

By the tenth hurdle, Ellis Metter was falling a bit behind Reed and Baccus.

Metter was satisfied with this situation. He hadn't even made it through the Olympic qualifiers yet he now had the chance to stand on the Olympic podium.

Reed and Baccus were fighting hard for the final championship.

In fact, a bronze medal is also a pretty good result! Thinking this, Metter looked at Reed and Baccus subconsciously.

At that moment, he saw a special energy in Reed's eyes. It was not just the eagerness for championship, but a determination!

Baccus had a similar expression on his face!

Suddenly, Metter felt inspired by the two athletes.

This is the Olympic final! At this time, Metter finally understood how important this was.

He had always gotten eliminated in competitions before he had gotten a chance to become inspired. He hadn't really cared about his races.

In the first round of the Olympic Games, he had performed well and had entered the next round easily. He still hadn't felt any difference between the Olympic Games and his usual training.

However, at this moment, he finally felt the magnitude of this moment.

I must win! I must win the championship! At last, this thought appeared in Metter's mind. It was a desire for victory.

Metter raised his leg, crossed the hurdle and stepped on the ground. He crossed the last hurdle and hurtled forward.

He caught up with Reed and Baccus in a second.

They didn't expect Metter to catch up with them and even run ahead of them.

What happened? Who is this guy! He is faster than me!

He is beyond me. Am I not destined to win this gold medal?

Reed and Baccus were startled.

Metter stretched out his head and crossed the finish line first.

...

Dai Li raised his arms and celebrated the victory in the coaching area!

”We won!” said Downey as he ran toward Dai Li to hug him.

Dai Li, however, didn't want Downey's hug.

”You see, he's no blunt axe!” said Dai Li.

”Yes, you are right! You are Captain America!” Still excited, Downey went on, ”You proved to the world once again that your insight was correct!”

...

”We won the championship! That guy didn't pass the first round of qualifiers and he could won the gold medal!” Williams rushed out of the bathroom without washing his hands.

”It was luck, right?” Williams murmured to himself.

At this time, Metter's final time was shown on the television. 12.95s.

Although it was far behind the world record and the Olympic record,it was still incredible. It was worthy of an Olympic gold medal.

It proved that Metter won the championship with his ability.

How could such an excellent young man fail the first round of qualifiers?

How could Dai Li pick him out of so many athletes?

The two questions came to Williams' mind at the same time.
