The Last Baton Exchange

The second baton exchange went smoothly, Sijie Yang and Yue Zhao's cooperation greatly exceeding Li Xue's expectations.

According to Li Xue's original plan, this exchange would count as a success as long as the two runners didn't make any mistakes. Even if they wasted a little time, it was acceptable.

However, this exchange didn't waste any time at all. Instead, Sijie Yang and Yue Zhao performed even better than they did during daily training. While feeling happy for them, Li Xue was quite confused.

Is this a coincidence? Or good luck helping them to perform well? Li Xue wondered, shaking his head in silence.

As an experienced coach, Li Xue never believed in luck or coincidence. To high-level athletes, even with coincidence and luck, results must be based on hard work. Without true abilities, coincidence or luck wouldn't work at all.
