Chapter 337 I Love My Body

Edel advised her: "High-level competition should be done when you are in good health, not when you are not."

Chen Jing pursed his lips and said word by word: "I'm just on my period, I'm not unwell.

Every woman goes through this phase every month.

This is not a bad thing, it is what I was born with. I love my body, even when it is at its most vulnerable.

But I can't withdraw from the competition. I'm here to show the strength of women, not to show their fragility.

I don't want people to say that the female athlete withdrew from the competition because of her menstrual period, and then many people will come out and say that women are not suitable for this sport.

Since we were young, we have been warned by too many people that women can't do this, women can't do that, and there are so few things we can do.

I want to prove to the world that a woman can conquer the world even if she bleeds, if she wants to.

Ms. Edel, I beg you, please let me play."

All the people standing around were women. At this moment, perhaps many people had some images in their minds, and their eyes were wet at the same time.

Referee Eder's eyes were moved and he was vaguely touched.

Chen Jing continued to say to her: "Ms. Edel, maybe you don't know, but I have heard of you."

She smiled and looked at Luo Jiu and the others, "Our leader told me your story, and I know that you are the first woman in the world to cross the Ingilizce Strait.

Only five men have succeeded before you, and when you set out to do this challenge, many people tell you that it is dangerous.

But you did it, 14 hours and 31 minutes, breaking the world record, nearly two hours faster than the previous man.

I am not vain and I don't want to win the championship. My country is full of talented people and there is no need for me to fight for a gold medal.

It's just that I also want to be like you, to do something that others think I can't do, something that they think women can't do.

I want to leave my record in the history of the world, waiting for later generations to break it.

Ms. Edel, please help me."

At this moment, Edel was about to cry because of what she said. She seemed to be her younger self. No, Chen Jing had a clearer goal than her younger self.

She nodded with tears in her eyes, patted her shoulder, and said with a sob: "Go, the world is yours."

At this moment, the female players from various countries who were waiting in the stands came over, wrapped her in warm embraces, surrounded her, and said to her, "Come on!"

Butterfly stroke is Chen Jing's forte.

She said she wanted to break the world record, and she actually did it in this state.

Luo Jiu stood on the sidelines and clapped loudly with everyone else.

Chen Jing breathed a sigh of relief. She wanted to climb out of the swimming pool, and this time countless hands came out and pulled her up together.

They are of different skin colors and from different countries, but as women, they know what she is standing for.

After his opponent's sincere congratulations, Chen Jing returned to the lounge and quickly fell asleep again.

The next shot was in two hours, so she wanted to rest as much as possible.

When she woke up, Chen Jing found Zhang Paner sitting next to her, peeling oranges slowly with her head down.

Chen Jing smiled and asked, "Why are you here?"

Zhang Paner said, "I finished the 10-meter platform preliminaries and came to see you."

The child bit her lip suddenly and her eyes turned red. She paused for a few seconds and said, "Sister, don't compete anymore. I'll give you my gold medal and you can take a rest."

Chen Jing smiled as she looked at her tearful face, "Silly sister, I'm not doing this for the gold medal, you'll understand later."

Zhang Paner asked: "What do you understand?"

Chen Jing thought for a moment and said slowly, "I understand why women need to be self-reliant.

We women are always easily ignored, as if we have to speak loudly when there are many people around in order to be heard.

When it comes to the word greatness, it is usually associated with men.

When bound to a woman, there is only the great mother.

But I don’t think it should be like this. Women can be great.

Giving birth to a child is not the only way we can be considered great.

We can be great soldiers, great athletes, great doctors, great lawyers, great in all kinds of professions.

If I have to be shocking to stand out, then today I will use four gold medals to let the world see me as a great athlete.

I know no one has done this before me.

I want to do my best and make this record difficult to break even after many years.”

Freestyle, breaststroke, butterfly stroke, backstroke, four 100-meter finals.

Chen Jing won four gold medals as he wished.

After the four events, there was still a 400m freestyle semi-final. Chen Jing gritted his teeth and swam the last stroke before fainting in the swimming pool.

Yu Baya rushed forward with the medicine box on her back, cursing, "What did I say? I told you not to swim but you swam anyway. You are crazy! Let me, let me see her!"

The players nearby immediately worked together to carry Chen Jing to shore. Edel Luojiu and others also gathered around him. The first thing Chen Jing said after waking up was: "Did I make it to the finals?"

Eder choked up and replied: "In, first in the group."

Chen Jing closed his eyes in relief, "I want to go back and rest. If I don't attend the award ceremony, will my gold medal be taken away?"

Luo Jiu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "No, there is no such rule. If anyone says to take it back, I will go and quarrel with them."

The medical team took Chen Jing away, while Luo Jiu and others stayed behind to clean up the mess.

Although Chen Jing was not there, the post-match interviews with reporters still revolved around Chen Jing.

However, when facing Chen Jing, the player who suddenly entered the media's attention, the reporters' questions were not very friendly.

The reporter asked the referee team: "Is it humane to let a woman who is menstruating participate in four finals on the same day?"

Edel answered the question on behalf of the judges, saying: "Kid, I know what you are implying. You want to stop her from competing in the name of protecting her? That's ridiculous.

What kind of humanity do you mean? If a male athlete did this today, you would be eager to praise his greatness.

And now that Chen Jing has done it, you think this is not in line with the 'fragile' nature of women?

What do you want to see? She crying or helpless, that would be more in line with your imagination, right? "

Edel is now middle-aged and no longer sharp, but she did not expect that Chen Jing would once again arouse many thoughts in her heart, making her expression become more tough than ever before.

Luo Jiu was sitting on the bench on behalf of head coach Chen Jing. The American coaches nearby came over and said, "I've never seen Edel lose her temper so much. It's like she's back to her youth."

Luo Jiu smiled, and Edel continued: “As Chen Jing said, women go through this period every month.

This is natural for women. I don’t know whether it is God or someone else who made women born this way.

We bleed every month, and you can think of it as the most vulnerable period of a woman's body.

But I want to remind you that it was this woman whose body was in a fragile period who used her strong willpower to win four games.

These four gold medals represent her tenacious spirit and unyielding will.

Here, I would also like to say something to women all over the world through the media lens.

Chen Jing used her experience to prove that no matter when, even when your body is at its weakest, you can still achieve great goals as long as you want to.

So girls, do what you want."

There was a round of applause at the scene, and the reporter asked unwillingly: "She fainted after the game. Doesn't this prove that women's bodies have obvious defects?"

Edel took a deep breath and looked like he was about to curse. Luo Jiu took the microphone at the right time and said, "I'll do it."
