He Tiantian unsurprisingly achieved first place again, while the second place went to a female athlete from South Korea.
However, when the results were announced, He Tiantian's score was invalidated due to a foul, and the first place went to the South Korean athlete.
The South Korean female athlete, who was initially somewhat disappointed, immediately burst into tears, overwhelmed with emotion, and knelt down to worship the stands where there were many South Korean spectators.
He Tiantian was somewhat bewildered. Oh my god, Huo Yingjie was right, he was "blowing the whistle unfairly"!
The Chinese side disagreed and immediately filed a complaint, demanding a re-evaluation of He Tiantian's grades.
With the development of technology, videos can be recorded both on the surface and underwater.
"This is outrageous!" Head Coach Wu cursed. "These Koreans are trying to snatch food from the tiger's mouth!"
"Teacher He is number one, Teacher He's score doesn't count, they are number one!" Zhu Zhitao said angrily. "They have no sportsmanship. We didn't see any of the violations they mentioned. We demand to see the video."
"Yes, I believe Coach He won't break the rules." Head Coach Wu was confident; he had always trained well and had even won medals before, so he had every right to appeal.
In the past, the IOC might have been somewhat dismissive of China's appeals, but this time it was He Tiantian's achievement.
He Tiantian is now a prominent figure at this Olympics and has a significant international influence.
Meanwhile, the fact that the referee who invalidated He Tiantian's score was a South Korean is quite intriguing.
The Olympic Committee immediately accepted the complaint. Because it involved the awards ceremony, China's head coach Wu, director Li, He Tiantian, and He Tiantian's coach Zhu Zhitao were all present.
The female athlete from South Korea also came in with the South Korean staff.
The IOC's working group brought over a video recording to watch He Tiantian's entire swimming process.
From the starting gun, He Tiantian entered the water with a perfect posture and then swam quickly. Every movement was very standard. When she turned, her posture was even more graceful, and her muscles were full of power and beauty.
At that moment, everyone saw a water sprite.
From beginning to end, in that short period of time, everyone watched the video intently until He Tiantian was the first to reach the finish line, and the race time was displayed. Her movements were flawless and perfect.
"Wow!" one of the IOC staff exclaimed after the video recording ended. "Absolutely perfect, Ms. He's score is valid."
The others nodded in agreement and voted in favor.
When the South Korean officials saw the video, they were speechless. Their faces showed a mixture of disappointment and anger, especially the South Korean athlete, whose gaze toward He Tiantian was filled with resentment and even a hint of humility.
He Tiantian was somewhat surprised; so many expressions could be seen on one person's face.
China's appeal was successful, He Tiantian's results are valid, and she has won the gold medal.
In the subsequent competitions, He Tiantian's performance was nothing short of perfect.
To avoid any deliberate bias from South Korean referees, the Olympic Committee used referees from Europe and the United States.
It wasn't just that she received fair treatment, but that He Tiantian's performance was impeccable. No matter which judge it was, they couldn't find any problems with her. That's absolute strength.
He Tiantian has already won seven gold medals, which has caused a strong reaction both at home and abroad.
The final competition was the freestyle team relay.
Zhu Zhitao was excited. This time, his team members, He Tiantian, won seven gold medals, Xie Feifei's performance was also outstanding, she won a gold medal in the 1,500-meter freestyle, a silver medal in the 800-meter freestyle, and a bronze medal in the 400-meter freestyle. Xi Rongrong and Liu Yihua also won bronze medals, which was a decent result.
Because Jiao Lihong and Cai Fenfang withdrew from the competition, Xi Rongrong and Liu Yihua had to compete in the team relay.
All of them are team members under Zhu Zhitao; this is the last leg of the swimming team's competition.
"Don't be nervous," Zhu Zhitao said. "If you all try your best to run the first three legs and then pass the last leg to Teacher He, you'll definitely get a medal."
Zhu Zhitao's words did not ease everyone's tension; instead, they made them even more panicked.
He Tiantian walked over calmly and saw Xie Feifei, Xi Rongrong, and the others looking like this, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
"Teacher He, I...I'm nervous," Xi Rongrong said. "I've never won a gold medal before, and I hope to win one through this relay race, thanks to your help."
"Haha." He Tiantian laughed, "Don't worry, I've done the math. As long as you perform as well as you do in your usual training, plus my final push, we're sure to win the gold medal."
"Really...really?" Liu Yihua was excited. She didn't have a gold medal yet; her best result was only a bronze medal.
Although the swimming team achieved excellent results, her results were not good and were unremarkable.
"Of course you can," He Tiantian said. "Trust me! A little tension can help in the competition, but being too tense like this is not good. Just do your best, don't be nervous, I'm here for you!"
Since winning the gold medal, Xie Feifei has become more confident in her abilities, saying, "With Teacher He around, we don't need to worry anymore. Keep it up!"
"Yes, keep it up, for the gold medal!" Xi Rongrong and Liu Yihua said in unison.
He Tiantian stretched out her hand, and the other three placed their hands on it, saying together, "Go for it!"
The race began, with Sheffield running the first leg, running alongside the American team members and arriving almost at the same time.
Head Coach Wu and Zhu Zhitao nodded, expressing their satisfaction with the results.
Next up is Xi Rongrong. Although she tried her best, she came in second place.
Liu Yihua, who was least favored, performed very well this time. Although she was in third place in the third leg, she was only half a body length behind the second place runner, which can be considered an extraordinary performance.
The last leg was He Tiantian's. All the Chinese people present, and all the spectators who admired He Tiantian, this swimming miracle, stood up and looked at the water sprite.
He Tiantian showed everyone through her actions that as long as you have the ability and perseverance, you can succeed in turning your life around!
Before even turning around at 100 meters, they had already overtaken the second-place team. After turning around, they went all out to chase the first-place American team.
This gold medal doesn't mean much to He Tiantian, but she doesn't want to disappoint the girls around her. Perhaps this gold medal can help them go further in their swimming careers.
He Tiantian is truly a swimming miracle. In the 50-meter return leg, she had already overtaken the first-place swimmer halfway through.
It's that easy, so effortless!
When He Tiantian reached the finish line, the entire stadium stood up. She was the most dazzling sports star of this Olympic Games.
The entire audience stood up and applauded He Tiantian.
These people included audience members, He Tiantian's friends, teammates, colleagues, and staff.
During the award ceremony, Liu Yihua and Xi Rongrong surrounded He Tiantian and gave her a few big kisses!
It's true that they benefited from He Tiantian's fame; they too could stand at the highest point, singing the national anthem, receiving awards, and wearing gleaming gold medals around their necks.
