Official Announcement
The next day, Qu Tang came back with his parents as expected.
There is no need to worry about food at home. In the athlete's family, the parents are still focused on their children's competitions and are familiar with the taboos. Moreover, due to the competition, the family is rarely together. This time, they are together for a rare time, so the couple prepared dinner together.
Qu Tang walked over gracefully, and when he stepped onto the ice he was like an elegant swan.
She sat down with her skirt rolled up, and the sofa sank slightly.
"Last time I saw you, you said you changed projects?"
Qu Chi nodded: "Yes, I turned 400 meters."
Qu Tang repeated it, frowning.
"You were actually in pretty good shape back then. We learned to skate together when we were little... How did you end up thinking of running track and field?"
Qu Chi paused while washing his sixtieth armor, then smiled:
"Why did you become an athlete? Isn't it because you enjoy it? I like sprinting."
She smiled easily, which made Qu Tang feel better.
In fact, few families with decent conditions would send their daughters to run track and field.
It's not discrimination, but track and field is always less glamorous than other sports, and the suffering cannot be endured by gritting your teeth.
Because they are not beautiful enough, their skin is often dark and their muscles are often strong. From a secular perspective, they are not high-end enough.
Figure skating is beautiful and elegant. Under the influence of the Winter Olympics, for children from wealthy families who want to get involved in sports, figure skating is an excellent choice.
The Qu family is not poor. His parents run a small business, otherwise they would not be able to afford to let Qu Tang learn figure skating and participate in competitions every year.
But Qu Chi was clearly sent to the figure skating team by his parents, but he turned around and entered the track and field team.
Now, the project has been changed.
"Are you unhappy with the 100-meter run?"
Qu Chi shook his head: "What's wrong? Why do you ask?"
"Otherwise, why would we switch projects again?"
Qu Chi smiled and deliberately used Huajia's fishy-smelling hand to touch Qu Tang, but she looked away in disgust.
"You really have nothing to do after the competition. You should focus on training. You guys are still calculating the small points. I think you didn't win the gold medal this time because of the difference in points."
Qu Tang: "You know shit."
She couldn't hold back her elegance in front of her family, so she tore off a piece of paper and threw it into Qu Chi's hand:
"Don't interrupt me, tell me quickly, is this team bullying? Did you tell them that your sister is me? If I were to ask you, your track and field team just changes members too quickly. I wonder if anyone remembers that I showed up when I sent you to the provincial team."
Qu Chi wiped his hands helplessly. "If I really tell you, it will be like I'm bullying others. Don't worry about it. They're just sprints. It's normal to switch events. I haven't even tried long-distance running yet. This is not a big deal. If you have time, you should practice your quad jumps. Be careful not to sprain your ankle again."
Qu Tang felt relieved after hearing her say that, but he wrinkled his nose again when he heard the last instruction.
"That was all a thing of the past. I control my weight very well, so there won't be any problem."
Qu Chi picked up the clams and went into the kitchen: "Okay, I wish you a gold medal next year."
Qu Tang laughed out loud: "You should make a wish for yourself, because next year you will be in the adult group."
Qu Chi rudely threw the paper towel at her, causing Qu Tang to cry out in dissatisfaction.
"Our track and field events are usually called U18 and U20. I'm still young."
Figure skaters are notoriously short-lived. They become famous and compete internationally at the age of thirteen or fourteen, and adulthood probably means disappearance.
Compared to figure skating, the selection process for track and field is surprisingly much more lenient.
She put down the clams and took other dishes out to help Qu Tang.
As a silver medalist, Qu Tang could not enjoy the treatment of having everything provided for him.
The family had a simple meal and then went about their business.
Qu Chi came to the room where the two people's medals were stored, looked at the glittering golden medals and trophies on the walls, closed the door, and sat in the middle of the room to admire them.
Qu Tang has more medals.
From the children's group to the youth group, from amateur competitions to professional competitions, from domestic competitions to international competitions, Qu Tang is an internationally renowned figure skater and is known as the number one female figure skater in China.
She'd been competing since she was seven, and almost everyone she met would tell her she was a genius.
Because there was a figure skater in the family, Qu Chi's parents did send him to a figure skating training base. The coach who once taught Qu Tang commented:
"Another genius! Your family is truly full of athletes," he said with regret, "She's not as good as her sister, but she'll definitely become a famous athlete."
Qu Chi feels that her luck is not really good. Whether it is track and field or figure skating, she is always recognized as a genius in people's minds, but she is never the top one. She has her sister in figure skating and Zhou Xinwen in the 100 meters.
When she was 10 years old, she didn't understand why and chose to escape from figure skating. Fate made her choose sprinting, which had nothing to do with figure skating. One was a winter event and the other was a summer event. No one would ever compare her with Qu Tang, and no one would even know about her relationship with Qu Tang.
Qu Tang's brilliance remains, she is still the dazzling ice queen, while Qu Chi is just a sprinter who seems to have nothing to do with this event.
However, many years later, she ran away again, and this time she finally knew why she ran away.
It's ridiculous... because I really want to be number one, I really do.
Deep down, she is always excited about winning the game, and her heart is always beating wildly as she defeats one opponent after another.
She loves competitive sports because it means winning and the desire to win forever. She wants to beat everyone. She is not afraid of the expectant gazes, but she is afraid that those gazes will find out that she is not a true genius at all, and then say "Not bad, but not as good as..."
If it was a competitor he could surpass, Qu Chi would keep working hard until he truly defeated his opponent. But if it was a genius like Qu Tang or Zhou Xinwen, Qu Chi could only think of ways to ensure he didn't lose.
Escape.
What a wonderful two words. Facing such a high mountain, she could only escape and not even think about chasing. When she really saw the insurmountable mountain, running away was the best solution for Qu Chi.
Qu Chi came to the blanker wall and stroked the gold medal in the last position. This was her last 100-meter medal. Maybe there would be more medals hung here in the future, but the 100-meter journey ended here.
*
As the whole country is on holiday, the office workers and track and field fans who finally have some free time rush to their favorite group chats with like-minded people and concentrate on eating up the latest gossip in the sports circle.
What?! Zhou Xinwen is already 11.50 seconds? With that speed, has she really not changed her age? She's almost catching up with the two big sisters on the national team.
[Although there are always successful cases of fakes among the track and field talents that emerge in Nitian every year, this one is definitely not true. Two months have passed and there is no evidence at all.]
There's no need to change her age to something so outrageous as 14. With her grades, wouldn't she be able to join the national team as long as she's underage?
[Yeah, damn, I really got to witness a genius]
[Yeah, this 14-year-old already ran 11.5 seconds. I remember there was someone in Nida who was also quite good. Many people were waiting for her to join the national team. How is she doing now?]
Who is it?
[Qu Chi, she's on the same provincial team as Zhou Xinwen. I haven't paid much attention to her now. Her women's 100m performance isn't great to begin with. Qu Chi is probably the tallest of the short guys.]
「Don’t say that. This was Nida’s hope for the future after all.」
True genius does not need a Basic Law
[Holy crap, did I see something about Qu Chi changing her event?! No way!!! With that kind of performance, she'll be a runner-up in the future! [Repost link - Announcement regarding the transfer of Qu Chi, a former women's 100m athlete from our provincial track and field team]]
【???】
[Is this girl really that fragile? She can't afford to lose.]
[Forget it, forget it, let’s not talk about this anymore. There’s nothing interesting about underage players. Is there any news from the men’s team recently? The season is almost over, right?]
…
[Holy crap!!! A 400-meter spin at the Quchi! And it's going to be the final leg of the Grand Prix race... What kind of shit is this? A 400-meter spin? And anyone's watching??]
【……】
[What are you doing? Are you bullying us because there is no one at 400 meters?]
[This girl didn't have the talent for the 100m, so she switched. You guys are really hungry for the 400m.]
I checked and found out, it's not Qu Meimei. She was 17 years old and ran 100 meters in 11.69 seconds. Can you say she has poor talent? I really want to pour out the water in your brains.
[11.69 seconds? Or U18? It's our 400m race? Oh my god! ! ! ! Am I still half asleep?]
[I'm definitely watching this match! Qu Chi, please don't let me down.]
