The reporter was surprised by how Bolt's attitude had changed.
But after a moment's thought, he understood. It had been unexpected, but it also made perfect sense.
Wang Yi hadn't just broken Bolt's record; he had raised it to a level that humanity might never be able to reach again.
In that situation, Bolt naturally couldn't maintain his kingly aura.
Bolt continued:
"Honestly, I'm relieved. Relieved that I retired early, and relieved that I never faced Wang Yi during my career."
After speaking, Bolt shook his head again. The expression on his face clearly showed that he was still thinking about Wang Yi's almost inhuman performances in the 100-meter and 400-meter races.
The host nodded too. "Then do you think anyone will ever break Wang Yi's record?"
Bolt shook his head firmly.
"No. No one will. Not even a thousand years from now will anyone be able to break Wang Yi's record."
The host considered this for a moment, then said:
"Didn't you once think your own records would never be broken? In the end, Wang Yi broke them. So perhaps you shouldn't speak in such absolute terms."
Bolt smiled.
"That's different. I raised my record to the limits of human ability. Wang Yi went beyond those limits. I'm not the only person who can reach the limits of human ability, but Wang Yi is the only one who can surpass them."
That evening, Wang Yi's urine test results came back.
There was nothing wrong.
This was a direct slap in the face to the Korean and Japanese media.
Chinese fans were overjoyed, finally able to hold their heads high.
In the past, China had only been so dominant in events like table tennis, diving, and badminton.
But today, Wang Yi had extended that dominance to track and field.
