After this final, Su Rui did not get a chance to rest.
Next, he will compete in the men's swimming 50m butterfly final and the men's swimming 4x100m freestyle relay.
An hour later, Su Rui was preparing for the men's 50m butterfly final.
In this final, he was the only player participating in the Zhenguo team, and the other player of the Zhenguo team lost to Sun Shan in the semifinals and missed the 50-meter butterfly final.
However, before the finals began, Su Rui also saw Ning Tao, and the opponent's game had just ended and had not left the arena yet.
Regarding Ning Tao, the attention in the Zhenguo swimming world is still very high, and he is also one of the most promising swimmers in the Zhenguo delegation to win the gold medal, and he is expected to have great expectations.
Su Rui was not surprised to see the seeded players here again.
After all, before Su Rui, Ning Tao was the best swimmer in China at short-distance swimming, and his potential was the highest, he focused on short-distance swimming, the main event was freestyle, and he had also won results, and now he can qualify for the Zhenjie Swimming Championships, it is not surprising, if not, Su Rui's birth, Ning Tao is still a swimmer with high hopes.
Because, Ning Tao is younger than Sun Yan, and he has also made achievements, and he was originally considered by everyone to be the first person to hope to become the swimming world.
But because of Su Rui's existence, and Ning Tao himself did lose to him, and lost to him in the best swimming event, so everyone transferred this expectation to him, instead of Ning Tao.
However, before this, Ning Tao has always been the hottest swimmer in China, and even Sun Yan, the real first person in the swimming world, is not as popular as Ning Tao.
The main reason is that Ning Tao has caused a lot of big turmoil, which is already eye-catching, coupled with the promotion of the media, under the operation of some well-intentioned people, he was praised to the sky, causing everyone to look forward to him very much, thinking that he can stand at the peak of the world and achieve higher achievements than Sun Yan, so that he has become the swimmer with the highest attention.
However, Su Rui thinks that Ning Tao is not worthy of his name, his achievements are not enough to hold such a reputation, and he is praised too high, and it is easy to recognize himself, which will make him unable to improve.
In fact, some time ago, Ning Tao had already focused on commercial endorsements, and also had some disputes with the swimming center, in order to attract money, he no longer took swimming as the center of gravity, began to slack off, no longer worked as hard as before, or he was busy with commercial endorsements, he simply did not have so much time to train to improve himself, even if he wanted to do it, he was powerless, and it was normal for his grades to decline.
In the end, it is still Su Rui's relationship, he has not appeared for a long time, but the achievements he has made have completely covered Ning Tao's light, and his achievements may not be as good as Sun Yan, but compared to Ning Tao, at least they are not equal.
The most important thing is that he has participated in many more game events than Ning Tao, spanning many swimming events, and has achieved good results, which is much better than Ning Tao in total.
In this way, Ning Tao's light dimmed by most of the time, mainly because of Su Rui's impact.
That's right, it is true that many people like Ning Tao because of his very high appearance and very good figure, so many people like him, but don't forget that the reason why everyone knows him and pays attention to him is because he has made achievements, and being an excellent swimmer is the most fundamental reason, not because of his appearance.
If fans just like appearance, then they may not necessarily like Ning Tao, there are more handsome guys in the entertainment industry, there is no need to come to the sports circle to find handsome guys, it is precisely because Ning Tao belongs to the sports circle that everyone pays attention to and likes it.
In other words, if Ning Tao doesn't have any achievements, and then leaves sports and moves into the entertainment industry, then he will definitely have no advantage, and he may become an ordinary second-tier star, or even a third-tier star.
Because, Ning Tao's biggest advantage over other entertainment stars is that he is a swimmer and has made achievements, if he takes the initiative to give up this advantage, it is really impossible to compare with a real professional entertainment star, at least the latter has much more experience than him.
Compared with his appearance, Ning Tao is not the highest, the appearance of many celebrities is even better than him, compared to his figure, he is not the only one who has a figure, and compared to the resources of various entertainment circles, he has no advantage at all.
Therefore, Ning Tao began to slack off in swimming for the sake of commercial activities and to attract money, which is actually putting the cart before the horse.
Only in swimming, Ning Tao's results are getting better and better, his commercial ability to attract money will become stronger and stronger, and vice versa, it will be completely reversed, and finally he will not be seen by everyone.
Before, Ning Tao was held up too high, so that he was blinded by the illusion in front of him, so he did something that put the cart before the horse.
Later, the appearance of Su Rui, as well as his achievements in suppressing Ning Tao, made Ning Tao, who was overpowering, lose his most dazzling light, his business activities were no longer as hot as before, and his ability to absorb gold was greatly reduced, which made him wake up.
And now, Ning Tao is still unwilling to give up business activities, but he is no longer slacking off and spending more energy on training.
In this way, Ning Tao's form began to recover, and he began to get some good results, and now he can stand on the stage of the Zhenjie Swimming Championships and advance to the finals, which is the best proof.
Regarding this, Su Rui was also very pleased, he didn't want to see such a talented person as Ning Tao give up swimming.
After all, there are still too few outstanding swimmers in Zhenguo Swimming, compared with the United States, and the loss of any swimmer is a loss to Zhenguo Swimming, let alone an athlete like Ning Tao, which is a huge loss.
Su Rui hopes that Ning Tao can recognize everything in front of him and stop wasting his training for commercial endorsements.
In order to make money, this is understandable, everyone will hope that they can make more money, and he will not be an exception, but don't do things that put the cart before the horse, without swimming, it is impossible to attract gold anymore, he just hopes that Ning Tao can know this.
At least, Su Rui thinks that with Ning Tao's current achievements, when he has not yet reached his peak, if he rashly transforms into an entertainment star, it will not only be a loss in the national swimming world, but also a very wrong choice for Ning Tao himself, and he will eventually find that his harvest is far from as high as imagined, and there will be a huge psychological gap.
And now, Ning Tao can see the situation clearly, even if it is only temporary.
In addition to doing his best and getting the best results, Su Rui also hopes that athletes like Ning Tao can also climb the peak repeatedly, and he doesn't want them to stop halfway because of some temptation and confusion.
Talent is not easy to come by, and do it and cherish it!
