"The dark horse of the women's 200m freestyle competition in Jingnan Province."
"The champion only practiced swimming for a month. Is it genius or coincidence?"
"The captain of the Sanhua team said that this championship was well deserved."
"A 17-year-old girl from Gumula Village, Lüshan City, won the provincial championship in the women's 200m freestyle."
When Xiaoqi stood on the podium, she bent down and lowered her head. A senior provincial leader, a half-bald middle-aged man, put the championship medal on her head and handed her a golden trophy.
The trophy was engraved with the small words "Jingnan Province Women's 200m Freestyle Champion", shining under the light.
The runner-up Li Enya next to her was awarded medals and trophies by the city leaders.
The third place winner was Ouyang Yan, the fourth place winner in the preliminaries, the girl with a high nose bridge and a mixed-race look.
In the official competition, only the top three will receive rewards.
Then the sponsors of the competition came over to give them rewards, a red envelope and a cardboard each.
Xiaoqi’s cardboard had 15,000 yuan written on it, and the name of the sponsor’s store was written underneath.
The camera kept filming her, and she had a big smile on her face, even more excited than when she received the medal and trophy.
When I first received the trophy and medal, I was a little confused and couldn't react. I couldn't believe that I became the champion. I thought it would be like the preliminaries. Although I was first in the group, I might be ranked behind.
It wasn't until the sponsor came to give the red envelope and Xiao Qi got the light paper card that he felt it was real. He really won the championship. Now he was smiling foolishly.
Just now when the leader gave her the trophy and medal, Xiaoqi smiled with dignity, aloofness and elegance, but now she looks like a silly 17-year-old girl, making people want to take her home.
The third place winner, Li Enya, had only a faint smile on her face from beginning to end.
She didn't expect that she would lose. For her, not being first meant losing.
And she would lose to an unknown girl. She had never heard of her before. She didn't even pay attention to the opponent's information before the game. Her coach just mentioned it casually, and she didn't take it to heart. She even found out now that the girl standing on the higher platform next to her was called Su Xiaoqi.
Su Xiaoqi's time was 1 minute 56.48 seconds, while the champion of the women's 200m freestyle at this year's Military Games was 1 minute 56.21 seconds. Li Enya's time was 1 minute 56.56 seconds, and Ouyang Yan's time was 1 minute 56.59 seconds. It can be said that there is actually not much difference between the runner-up and the third place, less than a blink of an eye, and the runner-up and the champion are also less than a second apart, but in this kind of speed competition, one second makes a huge difference.
As a quasi-national team reserve member, Li Enya originally came to play as a member of the team and to support the game in her hometown. She never expected such a result.
Ouyang Yan's mentality was much better. She had not thought that she could beat Li Enya. Now that Li Enya became the runner-up, she was still able to get third place, which was better than her own fourth place in the preliminaries. This is progress.
Others had no time to lament the dark horse Su Xiaoqi. If they fell out of the top three, they would have no name.
By the time the awards were presented, various press releases had already been issued.
Information is so developed nowadays, especially the public accounts of various big Vs, some of which are local authorities, and some of which are just trying to get some news. Soon the official public account of the organizer also published an article.
There are also videos.
At this time, the previous interview clips with the contestants can be used.
After winning the award, there were also interviews. The interviews before the competition were much more formal, with many more microphones and cameras.
Reporter A: How do you feel after winning the award?
Su Xiaoqi: Thank you Coach Wu Peirong, she taught me how to swim and brought me into the world of swimming. Thank you to my family for giving me a body suitable for swimming.
Reporter B: It is said that the champion of the competition can directly enter the national team reserve selection. Will you participate?
Su Xiaoqi: I may not be able to arrange the time, as I will be going to college soon.
Reporter C: What was your original intention in participating in the competition?
Su Xiaoqi: The first place prize is very high.
reporter:……
Reporter D: Blah blah blah…
Su Xiaoqi ran away, ran away...
At this time, a group of spectators squeezed out, and Xiaoqi took advantage of the chaos to run away.
She is not a very talkative person. Although she is not afraid of being in front of the camera now, after saying a few words, she feels that it is better to say less.
I always feel that the more you say in such situations, the more mistakes you will make.
After the game, there were still some things to do, so Xiaoqi said goodbye to Liang Jiajia and the others, and they went back first.
Liang Jiajia was very satisfied. Teacher Xiaoqi was actually the champion. Although she admired her teacher and thought she was very capable, the feeling of actually winning the championship was different. It was like her idol was recognized and her vision was affirmed. Her group of students were also chattering excitedly.
After all, swimming is not a very popular or common sport. It was the first time for them to watch such a swimming competition. They still felt excited after the competition was over. What's more, the person they supported turned out to be the champion, so they were happy.
Liang Huaying was also surprised. She originally had a good impression of Su Xiaoqi and was dragged by her daughter to support her. She also wanted to spend more time with her daughter, see her extracurricular life, and what the little girl likes. Unexpectedly, the tutor she found by chance turned out to be the provincial swimming champion... Originally, she wanted to give a red envelope to the little girl after the tutoring ended, but now she feels that the red envelope should be larger and the original plan was not enough.
It is said that the top winners of the competition will have a dinner together.
Although the Sanhua team had finally won the home court, the team's performance in the official competition was as usual at the bottom. If it weren't for the dark horse Su Xiaoqi, they probably wouldn't be able to eat comfortably.
Xiaoqi was very unfamiliar with this kind of dinner party and had never attended one.
After taking a shower and changing clothes, I went to find Coach Wu.
Today, because she was participating in a competition, her aunt asked her to wear the new outfit she bought, a pink baby doll top and jeans.
Short hair, small ponytail.
She is not tall, only 165cm, but her body proportions are very standard, and her legs look straight and long in jeans.
Even when she stood next to the already famous Li Enya, known as the Little Hu Mingxia, and the mixed-race Ouyang Yan, she did not lose out at all.
Wu Peirong was not originally qualified to attend such a dinner, but she was Xiaoqi's only coach, and Xiaoqi followed her. She was also worried about Xiaoqi, so she came along as well.
The top three contestants and a bunch of leaders sat at the same table.
It felt a bit like a banquet, and people kept toasting the leader at Xiaoqi's table, but no one asked them to drink.
Xiaoqi is not even eighteen years old yet.
Li Enya is about the same, Ouyang Yan is a little older, 19 years old.
During the dinner, Li Enya was quite talkative. Unlike when she was receiving the award, she looked unhappy. At this time, she was affectionately calling the leaders "uncle" and "uncles". She was very good at dealing with people.
It seems like I have attended several such dinners.
Xiaoqi was not used to eating with a group of strangers. If there hadn't been a coach next to her, she would have been even more uncomfortable. She could only maintain her unattainable buff and eat seriously. She would only answer when others asked her questions, and would eat seriously if no one asked. Fortunately, the food on the table was quite tasty. The crab glutinous rice, lobster, and sea cucumber soup were all delicious, and Xiaoqi ate a lot.
In comparison, Ouyang Yan and Li Enya don’t eat much. They are professional athletes and have a controlled diet.
Xiaoqi ate very lavishly, which Wu Peirong did not expect. After all, Wu Peirong herself was not very professional. She was very happy today, especially happy, and toasted each leader one by one.
She protected Xiaoqi like an old hen, and even the captain of the Sanhua team had to be nice to her. After all, if she hadn't insisted on squeezing someone to participate in the competition, the Sanhua team would have been wiped out. I don't know if it was because of nervousness, but in the official competition, Zeng Tingting's results were not much different from the preliminaries, and she was eliminated in the first round. Everyone's results in the official competition improved a lot, and those who didn't improve naturally regressed.
Li Si from Meng City lost to Ouyang Yan and became the fourth place. However, there were only top three in the competition. She did not show up and was said to have gone directly back to Meng City.
After dinner, Xiao Qi sent Coach Wu home first before returning. Coach Wu was drunk.
A lot of people were added on WeChat at the dinner party, and Xiaoqi was a little confused as he didn’t recognize any of them. He asked each person’s name carefully and added a note.
As a result, there are a lot of people with various official titles and notes on WeChat.
Finally the game was over. Xiao Qi thought, this was a big deal and worth posting on WeChat Moments.
She received many photos taken by Liang Jiajia for her and chose one of her receiving an award. She was holding the trophy, wearing the medal, and holding the 15,000 yuan prize card, smiling foolishly.
"I won today."
