Chapter 78: What You Want
Xia Lili listened to the commentary coming from the surround speakers, as if she were there at the scene. Her hands unconsciously clenched the tablecloth.
During the guessing session just now, the foreman counted everyone's guesses, and Xia Lili directly guessed that Jiang Yun would win the gold medal!
Coach Chen once revealed privately that Jiang Yun had swum world record levels several times during training.
However, no matter how good the training results are, they can only be used as a reference. World records must be set in officially recognized formal competitions to count.
The contestants have already walked to their respective starting platforms.
Xia Lili held her breath and concentrated.
She always remembered the hallucination in which Jiang Yun sat in the audience seats of an international competition, and the look in his eyes when he watched the players from other countries win the championship made her feel extremely uncomfortable.
No matter how Jiang Yun performs this time, the current situation is much better than the result in the illusion that the talented player's career ends before it even begins.
At the competition venue, a prepared English electronic voice sounded: "Competitors, please take your seats."
When Jiang Yun bent down in front of the starting platform to prepare, his back muscles stretched out like a fully drawn bow, which was pleasing to the eye.
The leg muscles wrapped in tight swimming trunks are smooth and powerful, and the whole person is sharp but with a sense of restraint unique to the East.
“Beep—”
The electronic buzzer signaling the start of the game suddenly sounded!
Jiang Yun and seven other contestants rushed into the swimming pool like arrows.
The high-altitude camera tracked the entire competition, and the audience's eyes were fixed on the fourth lane marked with the five-star red flag.
Jiang Yun was already one body length ahead of the other players when he entered the water. His butterfly stroke was textbook-level.
The water marks left by his arms are like the wings of a butterfly, and the arc of his legs swings like a mermaid's tail. His aura and momentum are obviously different from those of other players.
"Oh my god, this is so cool!"
Xia Lili stared at the live broadcast screen intently and was deeply shocked by Jiang Yun's swimming style.
The commentator's voice trembled slightly with excitement: "Currently, Jiang Yun in lane four maintains the lead!"
"my country's best result in the men's 200m butterfly is only a bronze medal. Can Jiang Yun make history today?"
In a standard 50-meter swimming pool, the 200-meter butterfly requires four round trips. During the first turn, Jiang Yun's movements were astonishingly agile, as light and swift as a butterfly, instantly expanding his advantage.
After three rounds, he was far ahead of the other players.
If nothing unexpected happens, the gold medal is secured!
In the first half of the competition, the commentator would mention the situation of players from other countries, but now his commentary is closely focused on Jiang Yun!
"This red line on the screen is the world record set by a Hungarian athlete three years ago: 1 minute 50.34 seconds!"
"Jiang Yun is no longer competing with the other seven contestants!"
The commentator's voice rose in pitch, "He's challenging the world record! This young butterfly stroke prodigy is creating miracles!"
At first, most of the people in the banquet hall were there to support Xia Lili's friends and athletes who were fighting for the country.
But at this moment, everyone held their breath and watched the game with all their emotions!
Because today, they are likely to witness the birth of a new world record in real time!
The atmosphere is very important. Watching the game alone may be boring, but witnessing history together with so many people is so exciting!
This is the charm of sports events.
After the last round, the entire banquet hall fell silent and everyone held their breath.
When Jiang Yun completed his last touch of the wall and turn, his position had already surpassed the red line symbolizing the world record!
"Jiang Yun is about to break the record!"
The commentary booth erupted in exclamations.
In the end, Jiang Yun was the first to touch the wall with an absolute advantage.
A new world record was born!
Jiang Yun not only won the first gold medal in the history of the men's 200-meter butterfly at the World Championships for Dragon Country, but also broke the world record in one fell swoop!
"Genius! This is true genius!"
The commentator's voice cracked with excitement. "It's unbelievable that this is Jiang Yun's first World Championship appearance! He's rewritten the history of the Dragon Country butterfly stroke!"
"At this rate, butterfly swimmers around the world will probably have to live under Jiang Yun's shadow for the next five years!"
Inside the Dragon Palace Hall, the cheers almost blew the roof off.
Xia Lili's cheeks were flushed with excitement, and she could hardly hide the excited smile on her face.
People from all directions congratulated Xia Lili.
"It's true that outstanding people attract each other. Miss Xia is so outstanding that even her friend is a world champion!"
"If it weren't for Miss Tosha today, we wouldn't have seen such a wonderful game!"
"Yeah, normally I'm not interested in sports games at all, but I got goosebumps just watching it!"
"Miss Xia, our champion friend, has unlimited potential. I must quickly ask the company's brand management department to extend an olive branch to Jiang Yun!"
......
Xia Lili listened to everyone's praise and felt embarrassed: "It's Jiang Yun himself who is amazing."
Even Pei Qinyue's father, Pei Yong, asked Xia Lili for Jiang Yun's contact information after watching Jiang Yun's game, saying that with Jiang Yun's appearance and business potential, he could succeed in both the sports and fashion industries.
Seeing that the guests were in high spirits, Tang Mingqian and his wife and Old Mrs. Bai cast grateful and gratified glances at Xia Lili.
Tang Mingqian couldn't help but praise her, "Miss Xia, your way of watching the competition is truly brilliant!"
Xia Lili turned and said to Old Lady Bai with a smile, "You were the one who suggested this projection session!"
"If you want to add the finishing touch, it was you, the birthday boy, who added it."
Old Mrs. Bai was so delighted by the coaxing: "You little girl, you said you were introverted and couldn't speak, but your little mouth is as sweet as honey."
The awards ceremony will begin in fifteen minutes.
Jiang Yun stood on the highest podium draped with the national flag, and the bright red color made him look radiant.
He held flowers in his hands, a gold medal shone on his chest, and even his eyelashes were coated in gold under the spotlight.
Xia Lili looked at Jiang Yun's high-spirited smile on the big screen, and her eyes became moist unconsciously.
This scene completely offset the shadow cast on Xia Lili by the image of Jiang Yun crying with regret in her hallucination.
Give the best result to the talented young man. At this moment, "getting what you want" are probably the four most beautiful words in the world.
The guests from the brand that sponsored Jiang Yun in the banquet hall were extremely happy at this moment. Jiang Yun broke the world record, and the sponsorship they invested was simply worth it!
Being handsome and talented, Jiang Yun’s popularity will probably skyrocket after this match and he will become a big hit!
"Mrs. Bai, please don't try to compete with me. Every guest present today will receive a red envelope of 666. If you guess the corresponding answer, your prize will be doubled!"
"I'm not competing with you, I'm not competing with you. I've already sent someone to buy the gold ring I promised you!"
Old Mrs. Bai smiled and looked at Xia Lili with more and more liking.
This person is really the lucky star of their family!
After the World Championships award ceremony, there will be a press interview session.
In the interview camera, Jiang Yun had a towel hanging around his neck, his head slightly tilted back, and his wet black hair was messily stuck to his forehead.
The water droplets slid down the sharp brow bones, passed through the high nose bridge, and finally slid down the chin, dripping onto the well-defined collarbone.
As a member of the "family", the CCTV reporter was the first to interview Jiang Yun. "Jiang Yun, you broke the world record in your first competition. What do you want to say now?"
