Chapter 582 Golden Slam
The Olympics lasted fifteen days, and Gu Sanjing's final competition was on the tenth day. Before that, she had already won the women's synchronized three-meter springboard and the men's and women's synchronized three-meter springboard. The last competition was the women's single three-meter springboard final.
If she can win the championship in this competition, she will become the first athlete in the world to win the championship in every Olympic diving event so far. She will also be the champion of every event in the Olympics, World Cup and World Championships, a true "Golden Grand Slam".
Not to mention Gu Sanjing, everyone in the family and friends group was on edge today. As soon as they sat down at the competition venue, Wang Yueju whispered to Gu Jianguo, "My hands are shaking from nervousness."
Gu Jianguo held her hand. Wang Yueju felt that his palms were sweaty. It seemed that he was also nervous.
In the waiting area, Pei Yunxia asked Gu Sanjing softly, "How do you feel?"
"I'm a little nervous." Gu Sanjing said truthfully, because this game was so meaningful to her.
Pei Yunxia patted her shoulder and said, "With your level, as long as you perform normally, you will have no problem winning the championship. Now put aside all distractions and just focus on the competition."
Gu Sanjing nodded heavily, "I know."
Pei Yunxia didn't say anything else. At this time, it was mainly up to her to adjust herself.
Gu Sanjing stood up to warm up before the game. Although her face was calm at the moment, her heart was in turmoil. Many people knew that athletes had a hard time, but only they knew how hard it was.
Now it is about to end. If she can win the championship in this game, her career as an athlete will end perfectly.
She took a deep breath, watched the athletes in front of her leap from the diving board into the water, listened to the scores on the radio, and then when her name was called, she stepped onto the diving board. At this moment, her mind was empty, and her surroundings seemed to be still. She was the only one in the world.
In the audience, Gu Jianguo and Wang Yueju held hands tightly, staring at their daughter on the diving board with a worried look on their face. A fat man next to them pointed at Gu Sanjing on the diving board with his chubby little hand and said, "Third Aunt, Third Aunt."
Gu Erhui quickly whispered to him, "Don't talk, Third Aunt is competing."
Fatty quickly covered his mouth, causing everyone to burst out laughing. Actually, they were far away from the stadium, so the sound couldn't reach there at all. It was just that Gu Erhui was nervous.
Xu Yusen was also nervous at the moment. He clenched his fists on his knees and stared straight at the slender figure on the springboard. He saw her body straightened with her arms spread out, and she used the force of the springboard to jump up with her legs, spinning in the air and then falling into the water.
"Okay!" he couldn't help but say.
Because of Gu Sanjing, he had studied diving in recent years and knew that Gu Sanjing's jump was perfect. Sure enough, the radio began to announce the judges' scores, and each one was higher than the previous competitor.
Gu Sanjing came out of the pool and took the towel handed by the coach. She wiped her face and walked to the head coach Pei Yunxia. She said, "Very good. Keep up the form. Increase the difficulty in the next round."
Gu Sanjing listened carefully to Pei Yunxia's analysis of the current situation, thinking about the next round of moves. Over the years, she and Pei Yunxia had cooperated very well. She was very obedient, and Pei Yunxia's guidance was almost error-free.
Soon the second round began, followed by the third and fifth. When the radio announced that the champion was Gu Sanjing of the Chinese team, the family and friends in the audience stood up and cheered. Gu Jianguo and Wang Yueju even hugged each other and wiped away tears. Even Xu Likang laughed excitedly. He patted Xu Yusen's arm and said, "Great! Great!"
Xu Yusen was so happy that he didn't pay attention to his actions. His eyes were a little hot at this moment because he saw Gu Sanjing hugging Pei Yunxia and crying at the side of the court.
Yes, Gu Sanjing was crying. She hugged Pei Yunxia tightly, tears streaming down her face. She had joined the diving team at the age of ten, and now, at 19, it had been nearly a decade. Only she knew how difficult it had been. Now, she had finally put a perfect end to her athletic career.
The tears at this moment are both excitement and catharsis.
Pei Yunxia was also in tears, she was excited and relieved. Wiping her tears, she gently patted Gu Sanjing on the back and said softly, "Okay, we're going to receive the award soon, and we should stand on the podium with a smile on our faces."
Gu Sanjing smiled, wiped her tears, and said yes. She turned around and saw Zuo Mingyan, and the two hugged each other with tears in their eyes. Soon, the announcement was made to go on stage to receive the award, and Gu Sanjing stepped towards the podium.
She said she would accept the award with a smile, but when the five-star red flag was raised and the national anthem was played, her eyes still moistened. Her family and friends in the audience also had tears in their eyes.
After coming down from the podium, they took photos with many people before leaving the stadium. The competition was over and they could meet their families. Wang Yueju and Gu Jianguo were so excited when they saw Gu Sanjing hugging him.
After venting his emotions, Gu Jianguo walked up to Pei Yunxia and sincerely thanked her, "Coach Pei, thank you for taking care of my Sanjing over the years."
"That's what I should do. It's Sanjing's hard work that has led to my current achievements." Pei Yunxia spoke modestly, but her face was full of pride.
Gu Jianguo exchanged a few pleasantries with her, then asked, "Now Sanjing can eat whatever she wants, right?"
Pei Yunxia was stunned for a moment, then she thought about how much of a foodie Gu Sanjing was, and immediately said with a smile, "Okay, let her eat as much as she wants."
Gu Jianguo grinned happily, "Coach Pei, please come with us."
"No, I have something else to do." Pei Yunxia said.
Gu Jianguo didn't force it. He was sure to treat her to a nice meal when he returned to Kyoto. They all went back to the hotel together. Xu Yusen and Gu Sanjing went to the hotel where she had been staying to pack their luggage.
When they got to the room, they finally had a chance to be alone together. After closing the door, they naturally hugged each other. With his forehead touching hers, Xu Yusen whispered, "You don't know how proud I am right now. I'm proud of you."
Gu Sanjing hugged him and smiled, her eyes gleaming with joy, brilliant and intoxicating. Xu Yusen could no longer hold back and kissed her lips passionately.
They had never kissed so deeply before. Gu Sanjing tightly grasped the clothes around his waist, listening to their pounding heartbeats and responding clumsily until Zuo Mingyan's voice came from outside.
Gu Sanjing quickly pushed him away. Xu Yusen smiled and helped her tidy up her hair. At this moment, the door was pushed open and Zuo Mingyan stood at the door. Seeing the intimate movements of the two, she immediately said, "I seem to have something else to do."
As she was about to close the door and leave, Gu Sanjing quickly stopped her, "Our family is having dinner together, you should come too."
"Will it disturb you?" Zuo Mingyan looked at Xu Yusen and asked.
"No, pack up quickly and we'll leave now." Gu Sanjing said.
Zuo Mingyan was no longer polite, as she was quite familiar with the Gu family.
