《Be happy with sports 》Chapter 265: Starting the Season for Sports 7

After a while they were in a car that was asked of the station while going to the station, Jake didn't care much about the car they were in and Chloe was making some calls to prepare the interview, then she hung up the phone and started talking to Jake.
"You look a lot more like an adult now after just a year, how was that year for you?"
"It was all right for me, I had a lot of marathons that I participated in and some basketball games, my personal life also had a lot of situations, and there were the Olympics and the university, it was a busy time."
Jake gave a summary of everything that happened to Chloe, she was amazed at how many things Jake went through in just one year, especially the fact that Jake's house had been broken into, of course, he asked her not to comment to anyone about what he said.
Jake was someone who always liked to be honest whenever he could so he felt bad when he had to hide something for his mother or for his friends, but life is so everyone has their secrets.
"I'm curious what you said happened between you and NBC, I promise I won't tell anyone about it, I didn't expect anyone young like you to have a problem with them."
"I had exactly one problem with them, in fact, I think it was because I was young that I just had some kind of problem with them, my pride is so great sometimes."
"You still haven't said what happened."
"Before the Olympics started NBC I called on a number of athletes who would be competing in the races if they didn't call everyone representing the United States."
"As you well know I do not refuse invitations like this from the broadcasters and went there, they took several photos with me and recorded some videos, then confirmed some information about my life and sent me away."
"I had seen some athletes who had short interviews with them, almost all if not all of the athletics were called in to do short interviews and tell a little about their lives."
"But they didn't ask any questions or interview me, so I understood that because I was young they didn't expect me to win a medal, so they decided not to waste time doing an interview with me."
"So after I won a gold medal no one came looking for me after the closing ceremony, so I decided to go home with my mom and didn't want to talk to anyone anymore."
Once Chloe understood what Jake was feeling, he had gone to talk to the NBC team when they called and paid no attention to Jake who was young and thought he would not win, so of course Jake would not be happy about that.

It turned out that it came to stand out as the only medalist who didn't do an interview with NBC, as the closing ceremony was soon after the audience didn't find anything strange, but Chloe and those who understood sports journalism knew this wasn't normal.
"Like you said it was just a small matter because of your pride, but they sure were wrong in that situation and you weren't irrational in what you did our station would never do something like that."
Chloe wasn't trying to please Jake and really thought that she understood that maybe because there are 646 athletes representing the American team at this Olympics, a broadcaster might not have time to talk to everyone.
But Jake was different, he was a marathon athlete who was only 17 years old and had won the Chicago Marathon and was second in New York and had still won the marathon qualifying for the Olympics.
Someone like Jake clearly had a good chance of winning in Atlanta, and even if it wasn't just his age, it was worth an interview, especially since Jake had already been called to the station.
It was their failure not to expect Jake to win or Jake to be so proud, a news crew has to hope that anything could happen to make no mistake, even more so she understood that even if she asked for the interview later they did not personally go to the press Jake's house to apologize.
After a while, they arrived at the station and everything was ready for the interview, Jake realized that unlike last time people looked at him with respectful eyes for what he did and everyone knew him that made Jake happy.
After Chloe gave Jake some questions she was going to ask and what she was going to talk about and Jake agreed to everything, once again Chloe admired how easy Jake was to interview unlike others and was still handsome which was good for the cameras.
"Hi Chicago, I'm Chloe and I'm here for an interview with one of the new stars of national sport, the Olympic gold medalist and winner of two consecutive Chicago marathons, Jake."
"Say hi to Chicago Jake."
"Hi Chicago, I appreciate the invitation to be here again."
"We thank you for 17 years now and are one of the biggest names in the sport in the different world from last year that was just starting out, how do you feel about that, Jake."
"I'm very happy with that, I've always trained with the goal of winning, I'm not so confident thinking I'm better than my competitors and that's why I train so much, and when I can win I'm very happy with that."
"Even if you are modest, this is your fifth official marathon and the fourth victory, surely any marathon you participate in will be a favorite."

"A marathon is very unpredictable, I've lost a marathon myself for hurting myself, and a lot of things like that can happen."
"That's true, the experts thought you would not try to compete this year Jake, after all, you won the Olympics which is the pinnacle of any athlete in the world just 2 months ago, why did you decide to compete this year?"
"I wanted to run in Chicago again, I love this city and I have a special fondness for this marathon which is the first one I participated in as a pro, so I decided to race here as I was in good physical shape and rest and was rewarded for it."
"I'm so glad you said you really like Chicago, and it's true that you were rewarded for your decision to race here again, Jake here in addition to winning broke the world record with the fastest marathon time."
"Jake's time was 2 hours, 6 minutes and 2 seconds, almost 1 minute faster than the previous record, and Jake had broken the Olympic record a few months ago, as it was to win the Olympics, Jake."
"It was really amazing, one of the most special moments of my life, even more breaking the Olympic record, was almost as good as winning here for the second time and breaking the world record."
"The pressure of running at such an important event as the Olympics where I not only ran for myself but also represented my country is a unique feeling, I hope to be able to participate again after 4 years."
Jake knew that Chloe was taking the opportunity to talk about the Olympics because she knew that Jake had not done any interviews after winning, and Jake really wanted to talk about how he felt after winning the Olympics.
"It was a special moment for all our country I'm sure, it ended with a gold key this Atlanta Olympics that our country managed to lead the medal table with Jake winning the last gold medal."
"It was so unforgettable for so many people that after Jake won and broke the world record today here in Chicago he had a lot of fans cheering for him and one of them had a poster calling Jake Captain America, what do you think of that nickname Jake."
Jake was surprised by this nickname, he didn't expect to be called that and didn't even know it had happened in the crowd when he won today, Chloe was smart to hide it from him before the interview.
"I'm going to confess that I'm a big fan of this comic book hero, it's one of my favorites and I'm very honored to be compared to him thinking about what he represents for our country in comic book history, but I don't think I deserve that nickname."
"I think you deserve Jake, many athletes have won many competitions and won many gold medals in history for our country, some have won several gold medals in the same competition."
"But a test of endurance like the marathon is hard to see someone win so many times, especially you who are still young and in college and still playing basketball besides running."
"By the way, tell us Jake, which university did you decide to go to?"
"I was lucky to be accepted at UNC, I'm very happy studying there for a few months ago."
"The UNC? So you decided to go to the same university as NBA star Michael Jordan, it seems like you still dream of playing basketball even though you have achieved so much in athletics with so many marathon victories."
"Yes, I chose UNC for a variety of reasons, I'm a big fan of Michael Jordan and I also think teaching there is very good, it's not that far from my house and the UNC basketball team Tar Heels is one of best basketball teams in history at universities."
"I know that too, now that you've joined this team after winning so much at high school should you be going to win again?"
"Yes, I hope to win a lot of Tournaments with this team, there are great players on our team this year, I think a lot will have a great NBA career in the future."
"That's a very high rating, who are you talking about?"
"There's Vince Carter, Shammond Williams, Antawn Jamison, and others as well."
"A lot of people then, we can expect a lot from the Tar Heels team this year, do you naturally expect to join the NBA with those names you said?"
"Of course, my goal is this, after finishing college I want to be on a team in the NBA."
"So we see that Jake really wants to be Captain America, besides being in the elite of athletics winning several marathons and still wants to play in the NBA, we hope you get everything you want thanks for talking to me Jake."
"I really enjoyed it, who knows next year I may be here again."
After the end of the interview, Jake said goodbye to Chloe and got a ride in the station car back to the hotel, this may be the only time Jake can stay for 3 days for a marathon, usually, he would only have two days at most and would have to go back to university.
