Link stated he would give it his all.
Captain Yuan was worried he was under too much pressure, saying that making it into the 5000m finals was already half the victory, and all he needed to do in the upcoming race was to try his best.
Link replied that he understood.
——
After resting for two days in the Olympic Village, on August 27, with only two days left before the Olympics ended, Link followed his coaching team to the Athens Olympic Complex to participate in the men's 5000m final.
"Go, Link!"
In the stands, many Huaxia spectators were cheering enthusiastically for Link.
Leaders and coaches of the Huaxia sports delegation were seated in the audience, whispering to one another.
On the sidelines, numerous Huaxia media reporters carried large and small cameras, chasing after Link to capture shots.
Link waved his hand and walked to the starting line on the track.
There were a total of 15 athletes in the men's 5000m final.
