Chapter 540: 540
Williams had never thought the U . S . track and field team could win 25 gold medals at the Olympics . When Lamon won the championship, he was so excited that he opened a bottle of whiskey he had kept it hidden for many years .
As long as they don't make any mistakes in the relays, they will surely win 25 gold medals . Williams smiled, then picked up his glass and took a gulp . The pungency of the wine entered his throat, but Williams closed his eyes in enjoyment .
The alcohol made Williams a bit sleepy, and his consciousness gradually blurred . Williams was so faint that he saw himself sitting in his office with lots of sponsors coming to him and putting their sponsorship contracts in front of him . Williams couldn't help laughing .
At that moment, the national anthem of the United States suddenly rang out . Williams, who had fallen asleep, woke up quickly . Then, he opened his eyes and looked at the screen of the television .
A star-spangled banner was rising slowly on the TV screen .
Isn't the award ceremony done? Williams thought . He had just been watching the awards ceremony for Lamon and had had a drink to celebrate .
Suddenly, Williams saw a female athlete standing on the podium and looking into the sky with tears, a gold medal hanging around her neck .
"That is not Lamon! Who is she? She looks familiar . " Williams was surprised and he looked at the female athlete carefully until he recognized her .
"She is Serena Jones! She's an athlete in the women's 800-meter!" Williams screamed .
He realized that the women's 800-meter was held after the men's 1500-meter .
"I fell asleep, did the U . S . team win another gold medal?"
…
Serena Jones was the only American athlete who had advanced to the finals of women's 800-meter . Still, she had gotten another gold medal for the U . S . team .
The competition had been thrilling . At the beginning of the competition, Serena had been lagging behind others . She was even last until the second half of the last lap .
In the middle of the second lap, Serena's started to pass people . In the final 100-meter sprint, she reached the top three . It wasn't until the final 30 meters that she overtook her two other rivals and won the championship .

This gold medal went beyond Dai Li's expectation . He had not expected that Serena Jones would win the gold medal .
The unpredictability is part of what makes sports so fun! Dai Li sighed and began to prepare for the next event .
The U . S . track and field team had won four gold medals in a row, including the gold medal for women's 800-meter . Now, it may not be able to win the gold medal in the men's 5000-meter .
There was an athlete that dominated the men's 5000-meter . His name was Ramsey, "the king of long-distance running," and he was from Ethiopia .
Ethiopia was the world-famous kingdom of long-distance running . Many long-distance running champions came from there . For most Ethiopians, long-distance running was seen as a way to escape poverty, so many Ethiopians had practiced long-distance running since childhood . When they became a professional athlete, they went to various countries to participate in competitions to earn bonuses .
This was the story of Ramsey . He had been born into a poverty-stricken family and later had changed his life through long-distance running . Ramsey, "the king of long-distance running," had won the championship of the men's 5000-meter and the men's 10000-meter at both the World Championship and the Olympics . In addition, he had also won numerous awards at the IAAF Grand Prix and the IAAF Diamond League . Since he had started his career, he had won almost every long-distance running competition he had entered .
There was no doubt that Ramsey was an S+ level athlete or that he absolutely dominated men's long-distance running . Therefore, it would be extremely difficult for other athletes to beat him and win the gold medal .

Dai Li knew that it was almost impossible for his American athletes to beat Ramsey and win the championship . Apart from Ramsey, there were two more Ethiopian runners that had advanced to the finals . Ethiopia was very good at using alternating the lead in long-distance running to control the race's pace . When Ethiopia used this tactic, they manipulated the other runners into exerting too much energy and gave themselves a big advantage .
The only country that could compete with Ethiopia in long-distance running was Kenya, another powerhouse in long-distance running . However, the Kenyan athletes had done poorly in the preliminaries, so none of them had advanced to the finals . For the athletes from other countries, they had lost a strong competitor . For the Ethiopian athletes, they had lost their only competition .
Without the competition from Kenya, Ethiopia planned to win all three medals .
…
Dai Li scratched his head and couldn't figure out a way to snatch the gold medal from Ramsey, "the king of long-distance running . "
Dai Li really wanted to win, but he couldn't . It was a terrible feeling .
The other coaches must feel the same way about the 4x400 relays!

The U . S . team had a trump card in the men's 400-meter . Aylwin, "the king of men's 400-meter," dominated the event . Aylwin was seen as invincible to coaches from other countries .
How about drawing lots again? Dai Li thought of the prophecy box .
Dai Li logged in the system and began to use the box .
I hope I can get the luckiest draw so that I can snatch the gold medal from Ramsey, Dai Li thought . A bamboo stick fell from the box to the ground, and this time he thought it was "the luckiest draw" again .
The luckiest draw again? Dai Li was delighted, but he saw that the bamboo stick had fallen to the ground in the opposite direction . In other words, it was the worst draw .
It's the worst draw! Dai Li became glum .
The worst draw means the worst choice . I want to win, not lose, so drawing lots was useless . Dai Li shook his head helplessly, but he still looked at the stick .
There was a small line of words that read "let the athletes follow the pace set by the others . "
Is this the worst draw? That's what I was planning on doing!Please download our sponsor's game to support us!
