The coaches immediately persuaded him to switch to sprinting, as he is only 19 years old, very young, with immense potential, and his running technique is quite rough; improvements could significantly enhance his performance and eventually bring glory to the nation on the 100-meter track.
Link said that he needs to train for Boxing, Shot Put, and Javelin every day, and with time being so tight, he doesn't have time to practice running events, only using running as a warm-up exercise.
The coaches said it would not be a problem, suggesting that he should first train for two years, and in the end, choose whichever event he performs best in, also mentioning that sprinting receives the most attention at the Olympics and its significance surpasses any other event.
While he was discussing with the running coaches, Coach Li Yabing and Coach Daily barged into the office and raised objections on the spot upon hearing that the running coaches were trying to recruit him.
