Daily Evolution from Mastering Tai Chi-Chapter 300 - 246: Improving the Track Team’s Overall Quality, Painting Lv3, Drafting the Bicycle Frame Design
"Brother Ye, why the sudden announcement of retirement? Is there something wrong with your body...?" Wang Lianzheng asked worriedly.
"Don’t worry, I’m fine physically. I just plan to temporarily leave the marathon field to explore other areas," Wang Ye waved his hand, "As for future choices, I’m not sure, but I might still compete on the athletics track."
With the skills he currently possesses, he’s likely to dive deep into the cycling circle.
In the future, he might even challenge himself by participating in the Isle of Man TT motorcycle race.
Although considering his physique, skills, and the material of his bicycle, the chances of winning are still a bit low, Wang Ye’s goal is to participate in such challenging competitions to unleash his potential.
"Alright... since you said that, I can’t really persuade you to stay, but it’s really a huge loss for the Chinese marathon without you..." Wang Lianzheng appeared dejected.
Wang Ye pondered for a moment, then comforted him, "I’ll return to China soon to conduct a training camp with the Chinese Athletics Team. I’ll try to enhance the overall technical level. Maybe not close to my level, but I believe there’s no problem in making a significant breakthrough in your performances in the short term."
"Really?" Wang Lianzheng instantly showed a look of surprise.
If someone else had said they’d enhance the Chinese Athletics Team’s overall technical level, or even make most of them break through in performance, he might have thought they were just bragging.
But the person who said this was Wang Ye, the undisputed number one in both the marathon and the athletic field. If he says he can enhance the overall technical level of the Chinese Athletics Team, then it’s truly possible.
"Yes, I’ll arrange it when I have time," Wang Ye smiled.
Actually, the Chinese Athletics Team had long wanted Wang Ye to hold a training camp. Wang Ye’s current skills are so advanced that even outsiders can see his running posture is nearly perfect.
But he’s been too busy recently to have any spare time.
He also wants to use his ability to enhance the overall strength of Chinese sports.
As the saying goes — good things shouldn’t be shared with outsiders.
As long as he can hold a 7 to 15-day training camp for the Chinese Athletics Team, he’s confident he can significantly raise the level of Chinese athletes, even putting them ahead of other countries.
After saying goodbye to Wang Lianzheng, Wang Ye returned to the hotel.
As it was early October, many athletes from various countries had already arrived in Chicago.
Recently, many athletes have been pre-adapting to the marathon course, making it somewhat crowded.
So, Wang Ye recently switched to a more secluded track for training. The remote, deserted road also made it convenient for him to increase speed, and no one would mind if he occasionally cracks the cement road with heavy weights.
Occasionally, he could also train his extreme speed in unmonitored alleys.
His extreme speed was gradually climbing with daily persistent training.
Getting closer to the so-called "speed of sound"...

Several days later.
The topic #WangYeRetirementFromMarathon# unsurprisingly climbed onto the trending searches.
Just a click on Weibo, and you could see posts related to Wang Ye.
[Did Wang Ye really say he was retiring, or is it just a rumor?]
[Here’s the original video, he said it himself.]
[Wow, he’s really not competing anymore! Not even in the Olympics?]
[Yeah, at least wait until after the Olympics to retire!]
[Although this year’s Olympics are over, it’s only four years until the next one. Can’t he wait a little...]
[Yeah, it’s such a pity.]
[I heard he’s not truly retiring but transitioning fields, aiming to continue deepening in other sports. ]
[Must say... that’s really casual. Su God has to be cautious even when switching starting legs, and he just changes careers like that. How confident is he?]
[It’s because his skills are too strong, his strength and agility growth are all maxed. If it were me, I’d be this confident too.]
[Confidence without strength is annoying, but someone like Wang Ye isn’t actually annoying. I actually find him to have charisma.]
[Combining what he said, he might want to leave behind an extraordinary performance in this competition before retiring.]
[So you’re saying he can ensure a normal performance without mistakes in his next competition? And he plans to retire after this run? What kind of record does he want to set?]
[Too confident...]
[Yes, he’s very strong, but I’ve never heard of any athlete daring to say they won’t make mistakes in an upcoming competition.]
[Mistakes are inevitable, but... I mean... is there a possibility... that he could break a world record even if he makes a mistake?]
[Stop bragging, now you’re genuinely bragging.]
[Unless he’s been hiding his strength, otherwise what you’re saying is truly bragging.]
[Let’s see if he’ll retire with glory under the national flag or become a joker.]
[Watching the show, grabbing popcorn.]

With Anta’s support,
this topic stayed on the trending searches for about three days before gradually falling off.
But simultaneously, many bloggers on short video platforms began analyzing the purpose of Wang Ye’s retirement behavior. Although internet celebrity runners, mainly led by Wang Lianzheng, defended him, public opinion still seemed to be heading in an uncontrollable direction.
