Weidong Chu looked at his colleagues celebrating at the end of the track, then pinched himself in the arm hard. When he felt the pain, he murmured, "We really won!"
Before, Weidong Chu had been grasping at straws when he had accepted Dai Li's suggestions and decided to let the athletes practice for the relay race specifically. After all, the sprinters' individual ability on the team hadn't been good enough for them to achieve a great performance in the National Games.
After the "reporting" fiasco, it had become harder to build a team, especially after Dai Li had been given a bunch of average athletes. Weidong Chu hadn't had any confidence in the relay team.
Winning first place had really impressed Weidong Chu. He had never thought they would win a gold medal. But now that they had already won first place, Weidong Chu couldn't believe it. It felt like a dream.
A relay race gold medal. They won first place! Weidong Chu couldn't help feeling excited.
