Chapter 113: Zhang Ziyi's Gratitude & Cui Luoheng's Asian Championship Goal

Once again, faced with Zhang Ziyi's serious and expectant expression, Su Bai swallowed the words of dissuasion he had initially wanted to say.

In fact, before leaving this choice to Zhang Ziyi, the coaching team had already guessed what choice he would make.

The Olympics, without a doubt, is a sacred stage that all athletes around the world aspire to step onto. However, it only occurs every four years, and it can be said that it's a golden period in an athlete's career. Those who can successfully qualify for the Olympics are considered fortunate.

Zhang Ziyi mentioned that he was already 25 this year.

Now was the golden period of Zhang Ziyi's career, and theoretically, it was the stage where he was most likely to achieve remarkable results.

Who wouldn't want to enter that arena during the prime years of their career?

As for the potential impact on his future career and personal peak...

Zhang Ziyi understood it well. Su Bai was considering his physical condition. But if he were to give up the chance to compete in the Olympics for the sake of a longer career or the possibility of reaching greater heights in his career?

Zhang Ziyi looked firmly at Su Bai, conveying his decision with the utmost determination.

Su Bai naturally understood the meaning behind Zhang Ziyi's gaze. He glanced at Zhang Ziyi and then lowered his head to look at the plan in his hand.

Even though Zhang Ziyi was so resolute, Su Bai still found it difficult to make a decision.

"You can go back and think about it. After all, this decision is about your career," Su Bai said with a wry smile. It was the first time since becoming a coach that he had faced such a difficult choice. "Now, there are many world-class professional athletes who maintain their physical condition very well. Among them, many athletes continue to achieve peak performances in their careers even after crossing the age of 30."

"In fact, for the next Olympics... we may still have hope."

This was Su Bai's inner thoughts. With the assistance of the system, dietary adjustments he made, and the various training buffs provided by the system, as long as the training program and overall control were well managed, Zhang Ziyi still had a chance four years later.

Seeing Su Bai's hesitation, Zhang Ziyi's posture became even more decisive between the two. He looked at Su Bai and smiled, saying, "Coach, but that won't be my best time."

Hearing Zhang Ziyi's words, Su Bai was taken aback.

Zhang Ziyi earnestly said to Su Bai, "Perhaps if I maintain my condition well, I do have a chance to compete in the next Olympics. But I would definitely regret why I didn't step onto the Olympic stage when I was at my best."

Su Bai closed his eyes upon hearing this, took a deep breath, and then opened his eyes to look at Zhang Ziyi. He asked, "Even if this effort might not necessarily get you into the finals at the Olympic Games, you won't regret it?"

Zhang Ziyi's eyes were clear, and he looked at Su Bai earnestly. He smiled and said, "I will absolutely not regret it!"

Su Bai, upon hearing this, finally stopped saying anything. Instead, he took out a brand new training plan from his hand. However, before handing the plan to Zhang Ziyi, he sighed and took it back. "Wait a few more days. I'll adjust the plan again to see if there's any room for improvement."
