The next match has begun.
He Tiantian unexpectedly won the championship again, while Xie Feifei came in second.
Coach Wu and Zhu Zhitao, standing nearby, embraced each other excitedly, their faces glowing.
We now have two gold medals, one silver medal, and the men's team has won a bronze medal.
Although the men's team won the bronze medal, they still achieved a breakthrough.
However, compared to the women's team's achievements, it pales in comparison.
Despite the large number of men's team members reaching the finals.
In the subsequent competitions, He Tiantian won medals in every single one of them, and they were all gold medals.
We now have six gold medals.
Head Coach Wu has gone from being excited at the beginning to taking it all in stride now.
Even if he doesn't win the gold medal in the last relay race, he can still be content.
However, people are inherently greedy.
Because He Tiantian is there, Coach Wu still hopes to win a medal, even a bronze medal would be fine.
The 4x100m freestyle relay is about to begin.
The first runner was Xie Feifei, the second was Yu Jingjing, and the third was Jiao Lihong. The third runner was He Tiantian.
At the end of the first leg, Xie Feifei was in third place; at the end of the second leg, she was in fourth place; although Jiao Lihong was mean-spirited and petty, she was a fast swimmer and caught up from fourth to third place.
But the first place was already more than ten meters away.
At this moment, Xie Feifei, Jiao Lihong, and other coaches, including Coach Wu, were all anxiously waiting, hoping that He Tiantian could use her super speed to catch up.
However, the three teams ahead of them are all very strong.
The last leg of the race is always very fast.
This is a 100-meter relay; everyone is swimming with all their might.
He Tiantian no longer thought about being number one; she only thought about speeding up, speeding up, and going as fast as she could.
Accelerating at full speed gives He Tiantian an unparalleled sense of exhilaration.
Head Coach Wu was sweating profusely with anxiety. Surpassing one medal meant a bronze medal, surpassing two meant a silver medal, and he no longer dared to even think about surpassing the first place to win the gold medal.
Just as He Tiantian was about to turn around, she caught up with the third-place runner. Then, using her powerful leg strength, she shook off the third-place runner and became the third-place runner, chasing after the second-place runner.
They drew closer and closer, and in just fifty meters, everyone held their breath.
When there were still 10 meters to the finish line, He Tiantian was half a body length behind the second place.
If we were just a little faster, we could have gotten second place.
As for the first place, He Tiantian felt she couldn't catch up; the other person was only five meters away from the finish line.
"Keep going!" He Tiantian encouraged herself.
To outsiders, He Tiantian and the second-place finisher arrived at the same time.
At this moment, everyone looked at the timer and the underwater footage.
He Tiantian arrived first at the crucial moment and became the second place.
"Silver medal! Silver medal!" Everyone was excited. Although they didn't win the championship, He Tiantian and the other team members had performed very well.
Despite the discord between Jiao Lihong and He Tiantian, she was still very excited at this moment.
After all, this is a team award, and she contributed her efforts, so she should be able to win a silver medal.
Throughout the World Championships, the divers won two gold medals, one silver medal, and three bronze medals.
The swimming team's performance this time was truly outstanding.
The men's and women's teams together won a total of six gold medals, three silver medals, and four bronze medals.
He Tiantian's achievements not only caused a sensation in China, but also internationally. Except for the 1,500-meter freestyle, which did not break the record, she won the championship with record-breaking times in all other events.
In addition, He Tiantian's figure and appearance caused a huge uproar abroad, and there was a lot of media coverage about her.
When He Tiantian saw the foreign newspapers and the local Chinese newspapers that her younger brother handed her, she was dumbfounded.
The Barbie of the swimming world.
He Tiantian is at an age where being compared to Barbie is something she finds hard to accept.
Using "swimming queen" would be fine too!
"Don't make a fuss. Those foreigners are just stirring up trouble. Calling her Barbie is so cheesy. She should be called the Swimming Queen." He Tiantian said smugly. "Alright, I don't understand what's in here either. Take it aside."
“That’s right, that’s right, my sister is the Empress,” He Doudou said. “By the way, sister, I can’t go back to China with you. I have some things to do. I’ll come back from America later.”
He Tiantian nodded and said, "Okay, whatever your schedule. Summer vacation is long, so you can arrange it as you please."
Afterwards, He Jingyu, Wang Shuping, and Bai Qiongyu took He Tiantian out for two days before they had to part ways.
The national team's match is over, and they need to go back.
As the biggest contributor, He Tiantian must attend the celebration party.
After returning to China, Huo Yingjie personally went to pick him up at the airport.
"Head Coach, I will be at the venue on time tomorrow." He Tiantian saw Huo Yingjie waiting not far away and quickly told the head coach, otherwise Huo Yingjie would come and catch her.
Head Coach Wu smiled and said, "Okay, then you go back first and get some rest. Be sure to be there at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
Head Coach Wu also saw Huo Yingjie, and thinking that He Tiantian has children and a family, and has been away from home for so long, her husband must miss her.
She already has everything she needs. If He Tiantian's husband objects to her participating in the competition, then his hopes of achieving great results at the Olympics will be dashed.
Furthermore, since He Tiantian has achieved good results, other matters can be accommodated more easily.
Huo Yingjie walked over, nodded to Head Coach Wu and Zhu Zhitao, and said, "Goodbye!"
Then, holding He Tiantian's hand, he turned and left.
Head Coach Wu looked at the two people not far away. The pretty woman was tilting her head slightly and talking to the handsome man next to her. The man turned slightly to the side, as if listening to what the woman was saying.
Even though they were just holding hands, you could feel how close they were as they walked together.
"Hehe, Xiao Zhu, you should go home too," Head Coach Wu said to Zhu Zhitao beside him. "You've worked very hard these past few days, go home and get some rest."
Zhu Zhitao smiled and nodded, saying, "Thank you, head coach."
"Hehe, no need to thank me. You're all young people now, and I'm just an old man." Head Coach Wu laughed. "But I'm free today. I'll drop everyone off at the training center and then go home to see my old lady."
"Hehe, you and your wife are both very young," Zhu Zhitao flattered. "Besides, your wife loves to dress up, she would definitely be unhappy to hear you call her an old woman."
"Haha, I'm an old man, and she's an old woman." Head Coach Wu was in a good mood and happy to joke with the people below.
This result will make him happy for half a year, and he has gained some confidence for the 1988 Olympics.
Zhu Zhitao greeted the others and then hurriedly went home.
He left home less than two months after getting married; he missed his wife too much.
Even if Coach Wu didn't say anything, he would find a way to ask for leave and go home earlier.
