From the Runway to the Top of the World

If Bolt is the end of the 100-meter track - then no one has set a firm limit on the football field. 2013, Hefei. Fifteen-year-old Lin Beichen ran 10.40 Seconds, a national U18 record. But he asked something that made everyone freeze - "What is Bolt's best score?" Nine seconds and fifty-eight. Just 0.82 Seconds off. He could never cross this road of sprinting. In the same year, the national football team lost to Thailand 1-5 in Hefei. His father, a veteran fan who had been waiting for twenty years, muted the TV and sat in the dark all night. That night, Lin Beichen typed seven words: quit the track and field team. Go to football school.
