Under the stands at the stadium, there were many locker rooms.
Wang Yi and Shen Yanchao were in a lounge.
Since they were both competing in the 200 meters, they were making the most of the time to rest.
Su Shen spoke to them.
"After the 100-meter heats and semifinals, you're both a little tired. So you need to rest as soon as possible and recover."
"Wang Yi, your ability completely eclipses everyone else's, so South Korea definitely won't try anything underhanded in the heats. They'll only pull something in the final."
"So you can run freely and confidently in the heats."
Wang Yi nodded.
The coach then said to Shen Yanchao, "Chao, you're in the first heat, and there are no South Korean runners in it, so you can still run freely and confidently."
Shen Yanchao nodded too.
The South Korean athletes' locker room was right next to the Chinese athletes' lounge.
Their coach, Park Ui-seung, was speaking to them.
"Wang Yi is definitely strong in the 100 meters, but the 200 meters is different. You start on a curve, so it involves curve-starting technique."
"Wang Yi has only been training for a month, and he's competing in thirteen events. That works out to just over two days of training per event. How good could his curve technique possibly be after just over two days?"
"So don't be afraid of him. We can use our curve technique to take the lead at the start."
"As long as we master the curve start and get our stride frequency right, we might be able to beat him."
Park Bo-seong and Lee Jun-hee both nodded.
After resting for about twenty minutes, they had to do a pre-race interview.
But since most of the 200-meter athletes had just competed in the 100 meters,
