The competition process is a little more complicated than the preliminaries.
The leader on the stage spoke for a long time.
It is said that this is a live broadcast, broadcast on Channel 5 of Lushan City’s local TV station.
News from Lushan City will also be broadcast in the evening.
The music on the scene was passionate and enthusiastic, and small red flags were hung everywhere.
The audience was also very enthusiastic, especially... the group of little girls and boys holding light-up banners.
Liang Jiajia has strong organizational skills. With the presence of Guan Jingzhi, the center of their class, she called almost half of the students in her class to cheer for Teacher Xiaoqi. They also seriously learned how other fans cheer for celebrities. If the name had not been agreed upon, she would have wanted to name them "Seven Fans", but she felt it was a bit tacky and had not decided yet, so she just put up light boards and banners.
But apart from them, no one else had these preparations, so they stood out...
Su Xiaoqi: ...
Maintaining the unattainable buff, being serious and unsmiling, otherwise what else can I do?
She didn't know what to do. She was a little nervous because the competition was about to start, and when she was nervous, she felt like going to the bathroom.
Thinking that the leader’s speech would still take some time, I had to go to the bathroom. Otherwise, if I went to the bathroom after the game started, I might miss my turn... It’s scary to think about it.
Xiaoqi went to the toilet silently.
I stayed in the bathroom for a while and looked at myself in the mirror while washing my hands. I tied my hair up as much as possible. My face had a pointed chin and was not as round as before, but my cheeks were still a little chubby.
I washed my face with cold water and my mind became clearer.
During this period, I swam almost non-stop every day.
She saw herself making little progress, and sometimes she thought that if a person could work hard every day and put in hard work and time, he would make progress no matter what he did.
The same is true for swimming.
So today wasn’t scary, it wasn’t much different from usual training.
She told herself to come on, come on, come on!
Then left the bathroom.
Fortunately, the leader had not finished speaking yet, so Xiaoqi returned to the Sanhua team and waited for a while.
The camera would often scan them, and she felt that some of the team members around her were very nervous, their bodies straightened, and their backs were shaking a little.
Zeng Tingting always smiles when the camera passes by her, but her smile seems a little stiff.
When I realized that other people were also nervous about this, I suddenly felt less nervous.
Fortunately, I exercised every day during this period, and my physical fitness improved a lot. I didn't have the urge to go to the toilet again, and I didn't drink porridge in the morning. Until the game was announced to start, Xiaoqi was actually reciting the new Japanese sentences he had learned in his mind.
After a lot of chattering, his mood suddenly calmed down and he was no longer agitated.
It was only when her teammates pushed her that she came to her senses.
"It's your turn next. Go up and get ready."
"Thank you." Xiao Qi thanked him, stood up and walked out.
The camera was still following her. Xiaoqi walked very steadily. There were cheers from the audience stands. Xiaoqi was grateful to Liang Jiajia for all her hard work during this period. Pointing the camera at her every day was really a great training for her. Now she didn't feel much fear and was very calm.
There is a feeling that the sooner the problem is resolved, the sooner the relief will be.
She hasn't been home for a long time, more than half a month, which is longer than when she was in school. When she was in school, she basically went home once a week, unless there was an activity at school, and she would go home at most every two weeks.
She missed her mother a little bit, she missed her mother's peanut soup, fried hairtail fish, braised chicken feet, mushroom soup, spring rolls...
I even miss the bedroom at home that has no glass windows.
Xiao Qi was thinking about these things in his mind, but he still looked calm and composed as he walked to the backstage where the contestants gathered.
She saw that her group included Wang Songli, the second place in the preliminaries, a very strong and even a little masculine girl. Even in her swimsuit, you could see the well-developed muscles on her chest.
Xiaoqi's chest is just slightly protruding and has not yet developed.
The two were on adjacent tracks, standing together. Xiao Qi felt that the other person seemed to be one-third larger than him.
The opponent was obviously the favorite for the championship. He had participated in many competitions before and had won second place and championship several times. However, he was already 20 years old, with an average figure and appearance, and did not seem to be very popular. Xiaoqi only knew the opponent after participating in the competition.
It can be said that the prospects for ordinary athletes are really slim. They either become coaches for others in the future like her coach, or leave this circle completely. The number of people who can really join the national team and win glory for the country on the world stage can be counted on one hand, but there are so many athletes in the country that it is impossible to count them.
Xiao Qi smiled and nodded at the other party as a greeting.
Wang Songli's expression became more serious, and she smiled fiercely. She didn't care much about Su Xiaoqi. It was obvious that she was a novice. Her target was Li Enya and Li Si from Meng City, so she didn't say a word and went out first.
The official competition is more serious than the preliminaries. There will be no one running around on the field, only the athletes and cameramen.
Xiaoqi felt that the camera seemed to capture a lot of footage of her because it was always circling around her. Fortunately, she was used to it and didn't feel like going to the bathroom suddenly. When standing on the diving platform, Xiaoqi also looked at the big banner opposite and saw Coach Wu standing across from the swimming pool.
Coach Wu gave her a big smile and waved her hand. That was her standard gesture of encouragement to students on the shore, and it was very powerful.
The electric whistle connected to the electric timing board sounded, and the contestants jumped into the water in unison.
The water splashed.
Xiaoqi felt her body sinking slightly, and quickly found her swimming rhythm, rushing forward and forward. She felt like she was back in Gumula Village, like a fish in the stream at the door, swimming happily and very fast.
She was concentrating on enjoying the process of swimming and feeling the changes in speed.
She was sprinting from the start and was in the lead as soon as she entered the water.
She came back to the finish line.
Gasping.
She is number one.
She is the first in this group.
She felt like there was water in her ears and could hardly hear the sounds outside, but she still heard the cheers.
She stood in the water and smiled.
Her teeth were straight and her long eyelashes were covered with water droplets.
Xiaoqi thought, how refreshing.
