Chapter 185 :Su Bai's New Talent Selection (Part 5)

Jing Feibai, now 18 years old, had a personality similar to most boys his age—outgoing and cheerful. Meeting his long-lost friend made him even more excited.

"Xiao Bai Ge!" Jing Feibai joyfully exclaimed, then earnestly examined Su Bai. "Xiao Bai Ge, you haven't changed at all."

He then whispered slyly, "Xiao Bai Ge, did you bring me in through the back door this time?"

This question had been on Jing Feibai's mind for several days. He hadn't had the courage to ask Su Bai directly on WeChat, so he waited until today when he finally met Su Bai face to face and couldn't resist asking.

Upon hearing Jing Feibai's question, Su Bai was momentarily surprised, then chuckled, "No, why? Don't you want to run the 400 meters? Do you want to go back to continue the 100 meters?"

Jing Feibai also had a good record in the 100 meters at the moment. He still had untapped potential in absolute speed, and even if Su Bai hadn't brought him to the national team for a tryout, he had a chance to be selected for the national team in the 100 meters in the future.

"Well..." Jing Feibai scratched his head and tentatively asked, "Actually, I'm quite interested in the 400 meters. And if you didn't bring me in through the back door, it means I might have some talent for the 400 meters... But I've been training in the 100 meters for so many years, and I have an attachment to it. Can I try both events?"

In track and field, competing in multiple events was not uncommon. Athletes often participated in events like the 100m and 200m, or the 200m and 400m. Even the combination of the 400m and 800m was not unheard of. However, competing in both the 100m and 400m was relatively rare.

The 100m requires athletes to excel in absolute speed and explosiveness, while the 400m demands not only absolute speed but also speed endurance and sustained energy supply. While these two events weren't necessarily in conflict, it was rare to find athletes with exceptional talent in both.

Moreover, competing in multiple events required significant physical endurance. One small mistake could lead to underperformance in both events.

So typically, athletes choose to specialize in a single event rather than participate in multiple events.

Su Bai reviewed Jing Feibai's overall data. He displayed strong explosiveness, good late-race acceleration during the 100 meters, and although his 400 meters training results within the team were average, his physical fitness report showed excellent endurance potential. He had a good body balance, control, and impressive physical conditioning based on the fitness report.

In summary, Jing Feibai indeed had exceptional talent for both the 100 meters and 400 meters.

Su Bai gave him a serious look and asked, "Training for both the 100 meters and 400 meters simultaneously can be quite challenging. Are you sure you're mentally prepared for the pressure it will bring?"

Upon hearing this question, Jing Feibai stood up straight, no longer smiling foolishly, and said, "I've thought about it! I've also considered how people might criticize me if I don't perform well in one event. But I still want to try... If I find out I can't do it, I can always quit later. I just feel that after all these years of training in the 100 meters, I want to see what level I can reach."

Su Bai, hearing his response, smiled and glanced at him, saying, "Train hard. If you manage to stay, I'll talk to Coach Pei and see if we can include your 100 meters in the training program."
