The goal is to have a full team participation in the 400-meter sprint at the Athletics World Championships. This means that at least three of them need to run within 45.30 seconds.
In all likelihood, if this could be achieved, the athletes who run this time wouldn't have their personal bests at the limit of 45.30 seconds.
But... running another 0.05 seconds faster would mean breaking the national record for men's 400 meters sprint that has been untouched for over a decade!
Even someone as audacious as Qiu Wen didn't dare to say that he could break the national record in the next year!
Thinking like this, Qiu Wen cast a complicated gaze at Zhang Ziyi—It seems like it's all up to Zhang Ge now?
Zhang Ziyi had just been shocked. He had been feeling the pressure of the qualification standard for the 400-meter event at the World Championships, but in an instant, he realized that the pressure wouldn't just be on him. Su Bai seemed to be pushing the entire 400-meter team to strive together.
Before he could think too much about it, he noticed that Qiu Wen beside him was looking at him with an expression that seemed to say, "You've got your work cut out for you." He couldn't help but feel helpless. He had no idea what this crazy kid had in mind again.
Amidst the shocked crowd, Li Junhao's face turned green. As soon as Su Bai mentioned the goal of full participation, Li Junhao's mind was flooded with bullet comments like 'Su Bai has gone crazy.'
Su Bai, on the other hand, looked calmly and confidently at everyone present.
"I know this is a very challenging goal to achieve, but not too long ago, the individual and relay medals for the 400 meters at the Asian Games were tasks that seemed almost impossible for us."
"But we achieved it. Every one of you here worked hard and, in just one month of intensive training before the Asian Games, achieved improvements in performance that were considered unattainable in the past."
"Now, we have a whole 10 months ahead. I hope you believe in your potential, your abilities, and also trust the training plan I've devised for you."
As he spoke, Su Bai turned his gaze toward the female team members who were equally attentive.
"As for the women's team here," Su Bai continued, "the qualifying standard for the women's 400 meters at the World Championships is 51.80 seconds. My personal expectation for the women's team is that at least one of our female athletes can achieve this standard."
Female team members like Chen Yadan, Lin Huan, and Lin Yao, upon hearing Su Bai's statement, immediately brightened up.
Looking in their direction, Su Bai continued, "Although you've worked very hard in your previous training, once this goal is set, the upcoming training will be even tougher."
"Do you have confidence in achieving the training plan I've laid out for you?"
As Su Bai posed this question, the female team members almost simultaneously shouted, "Yes!"
Just from their volume and determination in answering, it was evident that these female athletes were fully committed. Until this year, their events had been considered less promising, with little hope of reaching the top in Asia, just like the men's team. But now, having received guidance from their coach, they were determined to make great strides in their performance!
Moreover, this wasn't just wishful thinking.
In the previous national championships, both Chen Yadan and Lin Huan had broken through the barrier from over 53 seconds to below 53 seconds in their personal best times. Lin Yao, whose personal best was originally 53.75 seconds, managed to reduce it to 53.25 seconds during the national championships.
