Everyone listened with widened eyes, finding it hard to believe. Qian Jixuan was already something of a legend on the swimming team. The news of him setting two world records shortly after joining the national sports team had long been spread.
Everyone knew about his achievements. But they all thought that it was because his talent had been discovered, little did they know it was because of a fruit given by Su Jing.
"At the very least, Mr. Su wouldn't harm us. Why not give it a try?" The head coach of the racewalking team felt a spark of curiosity and the previous miraculous bows had given him confidence.
"Alright then, let's have someone try it first." The head coach of the weightlifting team nodded his head as he spoke.
"Mr. Su said that these two boxes of gifts are not limited to the racewalking and weightlifting teams. I will keep six pieces for myself, and you can take four pieces each," Jing Dingyue said while taking six small packages from the two boxes.
The head coach of the weightlifting team returned to the weightlifting training center with four fruits, while the head coach of the racewalking team went back to the racewalking training center with four pieces of meat.
Of course, they didn't force the athletes to eat them. Instead, they explained the situation to the athletes. In the end, both the weightlifting and racewalking teams had a few athletes who were willing to give it a try and see if anything would happen.
After eating the fruits and meat, the head coaches of the weightlifting and racewalking teams closely observed any changes in the athletes. One hour passed, then two hours, then three hours…
By the evening, a full day of training had passed, and there didn't seem to be any noticeable changes.
This left them feeling disappointed and they wondered where they had gone wrong. Could it be that Su Jing was playing a trick on them? It seemed unlikely that eating a piece of fruit and meat would cause any significant changes.
They couldn't believe that they had fallen for such a thing, especially as coaches who believed in the spirit of hard training and self-improvement.
With a sense of disappointment in their hearts, the head coach of the weightlifting team went to sleep. However, early the next morning, he was awakened by a phone call.
It was one of the weightlifting coaches and he spoke with an excited tone as soon as the call connected. "Coach Ma, something incredible has happened. You need to come to the training center and see it for yourself."
"What's going on?" The head coach of the weightlifting team asked with a bewildered look on his face.
"Xiaohui lifted 190 Kilograms, he actually lifted it."
"190 kilograms? Didn't Xiaohui already clean and jerk more than 190 kilograms?" The head coach of the weightlifting team was puzzled.
"It's not the clean and jerk, it's the snatch."
"How is that possible?" The head coach immediately sat up in bed, his face filled with astonishment. "190 kilograms, that would break the world record."
"It did break the record, and he even added three kilograms to it. And it seems like Xiaohui still has more… wait, just now Xiaohui snatched 193 kilograms, my goodness."
"I'm coming right away." The head coach of the weightlifting team became ecstatic. He quickly got out of bed, hastily brushed his teeth and washed his face, and then rushed to the weightlifting training center.
The Chinese weightlifting team had always been the powerhouse of the Chinese sports delegation, known as the Dream Team. Compared to the women's weightlifting team, the men's team was slightly weaker but they still won numerous medals.
However, in the 85-kilogram category, the Chinese team had been relatively weak. Since 2008, they had not won any medals at the Olympics.
Xiaohui belonged to the 85-kilogram category, and his previous performance had been average at best. It was unlikely that he would even qualify for the Olympics, let alone win a medal.
But now, he suddenly broke the world record, which brought an indescribable excitement to the team.
Of course, the head coach couldn't help but have some doubts and fears in his heart and was afraid that it was all just a dream, a fleeting moment of happiness.
After all, this situation was too unbelievable. Could that fruit given by Su Jing truly be so miraculous?
…
"Xiaohui, show me your lift," The head coach of the weightlifting team hurriedly entered the training hall before running straight towards a tall and strong-looking young man and calling out with an eager expression on his face.
"Sure." Xiaohui appeared confident and spoke with a radiant expression on his face. Other athletes also stopped their training and gathered around them.
Xiaohui stood in front of the barbell. The weight of the barbell and plates added up to is 193 Kilograms, the same weight he had lifted before.
He took a deep breath, bent down, and firmly grabbed the barbell. With a sudden lift, he raised it above his head and slowly straightened up. Although it seemed a bit challenging, he completed the lift smoothly, and it looked as if lifting 193 Kilograms was a piece of cake for him.
"Wow, he actually lifted it," The head coach of the weightlifting team was ecstatic as he watched this scene with his own eyes, finally confirming that this was not a dream and his face turned red with excitement.
Not only did Xiaohui break the world record at this moment, but he also exceeded it by 6 kilograms. What an incredible achievement this is! It's worth noting that challenging the human limit, even increasing the weight by 1 kilogram, is extremely difficult for world-class athletes.
Now, someone had managed to exceed 6 kilograms in one which is simply unbelievable. If the Head Coach hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.
"If he broke the snatch record, what about the clean and jerk?" The head coach asked excitedly.
"Hehe." Xiaohui smiled and walked to another barbell next to him. The weight of that barbell had obviously been adjusted and was set at 230 Kilograms. It was 10 kilograms heavier than the world record in the 85-kilogram category.
Xiaohui bent down and grabbed the barbell, took a deep breath, and suddenly lifted the barbell from the lifting platform, before placing it on his shoulders. The heavy barbell on both sides seemed as if it could break the bar. Xiaohui kept his legs parallel and extended them to maintain a stationary position. He squatted slightly and then, with a swift extension of his legs and arms, forcefully lifted the barbell above his head, fully extending his arms and holding it for three seconds before dropping the barbell.
