Chapter 596 Swimming Competition
Lin Yuzhu was a little surprised when she heard this, "He has only practiced for such a short time and he's already competing?"
The coach nodded. "It's a small competition, a city-level competition among schools. Although he is a little young, it will be good for him to gain some experience."
After hearing this, Lin Yuzhu didn't ask any more questions.
Because he had to participate in the competition, Yan Chi practiced very hard during this period. He always came back after dark. Lin Yuzhu felt sorry for him and asked Zhao Yanshu to make more delicious food for him to nourish him.
The day of the competition soon arrived. Although it was a small-scale competition, many schools participated. The competition venue was also in a professional swimming pool in the city, which also had audience seats.
Of course Lin Yuzhu's family came to cheer him on, and the Zhou family also followed along.
When they arrived at the audience seats, they found that there were quite a lot of people there.
Some were parents of the contestants, and some were students from the school. Zhou Yilan said that since Yan Chi represented the affiliated primary school in the competition, people from the school also came.
Soon, the competition began.
It started with the preliminaries, and contestants came on stage in groups. Lin Yuzhu looked carefully and found that there were not many professional contestants. Most of them could only swim, and their postures were not so standard. Occasionally, there were two professional contestants who stood out very much.
Soon, Yan Chi came on stage, and Lin Yuzhu and others became excited and shouted loudly.
However, she noticed that Yan Chi seemed a little nervous. He even walked with a limp and his expression was a little stiff. She looked a little worried.
Fortunately, when the game started, as soon as the whistle sounded, Yan Chi returned to normal as soon as he fell into the water and swam very fast.
There was another person in his group who looked professional, but he was much slower than him!
The final result was beyond doubt, Yan Chi won first place in the group with an absolute advantage.
Lin Yuzhu and the others were extremely excited and were shouting loudly. There was even a group of people who were quite excited. They looked young and should be his classmates.
After Yan Chi came out of the swimming pool, he became embarrassed and nervous again. He didn't even dare to look at the audience and walked away in timidity again.
Lin Yuzhu couldn't help laughing after seeing it.
After that, it was other competitions. It was almost noon when the semi-final of Yan Chi's group officially began.
After he came on the court, he once again faced the loud cheers of the audience. He could hear some familiar voices. As he was distracted, the competition began and he was a little slow when he entered the water. Although he tried hard to catch up after entering the water, he still won second place. Fortunately, the second in the group could also enter the finals, and Yan Chi breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Lin Yuzhu in the stands was even more excited. After all, the semi-finals looked very professional, and it was already amazing for Yan Chi to get second place.
The final was held in the afternoon, so the few of them went out directly. Afterwards, they found Yan Chi who had changed his clothes backstage, and the group prepared to go out for dinner.
When Lin Yuzhu saw her son's hair still wet, she walked up to him and touched it.
"Not bad, we've made it to the finals. What do you want to eat for lunch? We'll take you there."
Yan Chi shook his head embarrassedly, "I don't have anything I want to eat, you guys decide."
Shuyao, who was standing by, said, "Why don't we just eat roast duck? There's a Quanjude nearby."
"good."
The group went to eat roast duck, and after that they prepared to go back to the gymnasium.
Several people on the road were cheering for Yan Chi. Lin Yuzhu encouraged him and said, "Don't be nervous, and don't look at the audience. Just treat them as cabbages."
Yan Chi listened and thought for a while, "Well, I understand."
Zhao Yanshu, who was standing by, also added: "Focus, don't be distracted, don't worry about others, just swim for yourself."
"Okay, I understand."
Seeing his tense face, Lin Yuzhu was afraid that he was still nervous. After thinking for a while, she said, "Don't think about winning. You are still young. I see that many of the finalists are older than you. They are all fifth or sixth graders. You are still young, so it is normal for you to lose."
Yan Chi nodded, "I know, mom. I know a lot of these people. They are all from sports schools. I have some understanding of their level. I am not afraid of losing. I will try my best."
"That's good"
