When Dai Li said, "strive for a gold medal," everyone in the meeting room was silent, including Weidong Chu. Everybody looked at Dai Li with amazed expressions.
What Dai Li had mentioned, a higher rank, a medal, or even a gold medal, was a distant dream for sprinters of the Hanbei Province Track and Field Team.
After all, these athletes weren't strong enough. They could hardly be promoted from the qualification round. A gold medal was just a myth to them.
What did Dai Li say just now? He wants a gold medal? Did I hear that right?
It's not easy for our athletes to enter official competitions, let alone at a higher rank. Is he still going to try for a gold medal?
Dai Li must be joking. So many national and Asian Games champions participate in the National Games. The distance between the gold medal and our athletes is a million miles.
