Chapter 165: Bronze Medal
"Self-defeating, huh?"
Mi Lu leaned to Ao Tang's ear and whispered, with a little schadenfreude on his face.
"Ahaha......" Ao Tang laughed dryly, his face full of innocence, "Lulu, what are you talking about?" Ahh ”
Mi Lu pursed her lips, Ao Tang can deceive Yuanyuan, but she can't fool her, she can let the ship move forward automatically in the sea, and of course she can do it quietly to help Yu Zhiwei cheat, just to make Yu Zhiwei happy, hum! But thinking of the result, Mi Lu became happy again, as the closest person, she knew some of Ao Tang's narrow thoughts, like any sports star, entertainment star, that is all in the spotlight, but some narrow-minded men don't want their women to be in the spotlight.
Mi Lu whispered again: "Help cheating, is it worthy of other serious players?" ”
Ao Tang looked left and right, and also bit his ear and whispered: "Why should I be worthy of those foreigners?" ”
Another player from Beijing-Tianjin University of Technology in the slow group, ranked 15th, anyway, not as good as Yu Zhiwei, no matter whether Yu Zhiwei won fifth or first, it would not affect her; In fact, no matter which country, for Ao Tang, there are only two countries in the world, one is called China, the other is called a foreigner, and foreigners are referred to as outsiders.
Ao Tang said: "If you really talk about fairness, the Universiade should completely exclude non-college students." ”
Mi Lu said: "It's not just us in China who do this, there are also professional athletes from other countries mixed in, it's nothing more than a few." ”
Ao Tang clapped his hands in agreement: "Yes, everyone cheats, there is nothing to worry about." Don't say that the Universiade is just the Olympics, hey, there are a lot of unfair scandals in almost every Olympics, and no Olympics is completely clean, if you really pay attention to the Olympic spirit, how can this happen? ”
Mi Lu nodded: "That's right, the Olympics have always been unfair, and I estimate that there will be a lot of scandals in the London Olympics next year." ”
Mi Lu didn't really accuse Ao Tang of destroying fairness, but because of Yu Zhiwei's relationship, she just stabbed Ao Tang a few words, and now that the topic has changed, she won't say more.
Chen Yuanyuan next to him complained: "I said you two, aren't you afraid of biting your ears off?" What kind of whispers? ”
"Hehe, I told Ao Tang that if there is really an Olympics, don't go to see it."
Listening to Mi Lu's words, Ao Tang couldn't help but roll his eyes, while Chen Yuanyuan nodded in agreement: "That's right, that's right, London is a very bad city, terrorism, racial discrimination, riots, if you can't go, you won't go." ”
Ao Tang smiled, the London riots had just ended a few days before, and it really made the British embarrassed internationally.
In the evening, the women's 800-meter freestyle fast group competition began, watching the 8 athletes stand up, Ao Tang took out his mobile phone, and after flipping through it, he muttered: "This broken mobile phone, why doesn't it even have a stopwatch function?" Round yours? ”
"Not really." Chen Yuanyuan shook his phone and said with a smile, "Why, Ao Tang, are you so anxious to know the results of the game?" This must be the first time to type, no slower than you pinching the stopwatch yourself. ”
Mi Lu snickered, Ao Tang smiled bitterly, even if he has far more than mortal ability, he can't accurately calculate the time, the swimming competition is timed by one hundredth of a second, don't pinch the stopwatch, how can he estimate? Ao Tang was thinking that if he found that Yu Zhiwei might enter the top three in the last paragraph, he would help the top three in the fast group to cheat and resolutely block Yu Zhiwei from the podium.
Perhaps, from the beginning, help the fastest three people in the fast group, so that the fastest ones are faster? It doesn't hurt to let the first three all break the world record......
Ao Tang was thinking about it, and Mi Lu next to him had already whispered: "Don't interfere this time!" ”
"Lulu, are you the roundworm in my stomach?"
"Die, don't compare me to that disgusting bug. Hey, there's no way you're going to have roundworms in Ao Tang, right? There won't be any parasites, right? ”
"Dizzy, there shouldn't be, don't talk to those disgusting bugs!"
"Obviously you mentioned it first......"
"What do you say? Don't always whisper, okay? Chen Yuanyuan went crazy again, and there was always a feeling of being alone and abandoned.
"Aha, don't say anything, don't say anything, hey, the game is on......"
was interrupted by Mi Lu like this, Ao Tang's mind to intervene also faded, look at Yu Zhiwei's luck, if she really wants to win a medal, she really wants to enter the Olympics, it's a big deal to run London once. As for Mi Lu and Chen Yuanyuan, well, I'll talk about it later......
In a blink of an eye, 8 minutes have passed, the competition has come to an end, and the on-site commentary mobilizes the atmosphere: "There is still the last journey, in the morning, my country's Yu Zhiwei swam a time of 8:33.65, let's wait and see if she can stand on the final podium as a slow group?" ”
"The first and second places have arrived!"
The result was played quickly, and New Zealand's Boyle won the first place in 8:26.30, this person is a well-known master, and many people expected to win the first place. American Anderson was 8:27.11, less than a second behind, and was second.
The narrator should have focused on Boyle, who was in first place, but he ignored it completely and stared at the third person.
The third person is the Spanish player Schmidt, who, like Boyle and Anderson, are well-known freestyle masters, 800 meters and 1500 meters are the three of them competing for hegemony, and the 200 meters and 400 meters of freestyle are the two strong wins of Schmid and Boyle. Among them, 800 meters is today, 400 meters is tomorrow, 200 meters is the day after tomorrow, and 1500 meters is on the 18th.
Schmid finally arrived, and her results were the first to be played......
"8:33.66! It's 8:33.66! The commentator howled, "0.01 second gap, 0.01 second advantage, my country's player, Yu Zhiwei from Guanghua University, won the bronze medal, she is a dark horse from the slow group......"
On the athletes' seats, the Chinese team members cheered, and in the audience stands, there were more Chinese cheers, although it was only a bronze medal, but the Chinese team in this event was originally disadvantaged, hopeless, abandoned, and used to reflect "friendship first", and now it is worth rejoicing to get an unexpected medal.
Not to mention the rest of the Chinese audience, even Chen Yuanyuan, who also put aside his hostility and applauded Yu Zhiwei for winning the bronze medal. There are probably only two Chinese who did not applaud at the scene, one is Mi Lu who knows the truth, and the other is Ao Tang, who is a little annoyed, Ao Tang looked at Schmidt, why can't this guy be 0.02 seconds faster?
In the pool, Schmid punched in frustration, just 0.01 seconds away, and just a slight change just now could change the result! However, as a master swimmer, she has a good psychological quality, the competition is over, the result is doomed, she can only look forward, she looks at Boyle and Anderson, she still has three freestyle events, she will definitely be able to stand on the podium, she will definitely be able to stand at the top!
Ao Tang's eyes were taken away from Schmidt, forget it, Spain is not a good tooth anyway, if it is pitted, it will be pitted.
The award ceremony began soon, Yu Zhiwei stood dizzily in the third place, the moment the bronze medal was hung, she was still a little unbelievable, she was just an amateur athlete, even in the Guanghua University team, she was not the best, how could she stand on the podium of the World Series all of a sudden?
8:33.65, what a miracle result, her usual level, has never broken through the 9-point mark! This morning can't just be described as an extraordinary performance, it's like a god's help! Was it because of the on-site cheering of her parents, friends, and Ao Tang that she broke through her limits?
Yu Zhiwei looked at the position of her parents, saw the excitement and pride on her parents' faces, and glanced at the edge of the venue, Zhao Jia was jumping excitedly over there, and finally, her eyes looked in the direction of Ao Tang, Ao Tang was nodding and smiling, and Yu Zhiwei suddenly laughed.
"Let's go......" Mi Lu pulled Ao Tang, "There's nothing to see, let's go, let's go, even if you look at Yu Zhiwei and share the joy of victory with you, she won't have time." ”
Ao Tang Heran, although it is only a bronze medal, Yu Zhiwei is a genuine college student of a key university, which is suitable for domestic media publicity, not to mention that she is a stunning beauty, easy to catch the eyeballs, and will inevitably become famous. Next, Yu Zhiwei must have a lot of "troubles", such as interviews with the news media, such as the repositioning of her swimming ability by the national team, and the congratulations of Guanghua University's personnel in Pengcheng...... There's really no way she's going to have time to slip out.
An hour later, a text message was sent to Ao Tang's phone.
"Whew, whew...... I'm exhausted. Ao Tang, I'm now under the pretext of going to the bathroom, so I have the opportunity to send a text message, well, there are people on the left and right, so I won't call you. ”
Ao Tang couldn't help but reply: "Congratulations on winning the bronze medal, and make persistent efforts in the game on the 18th." ”
"Hmm. But today I'm purely extraordinary.,This state is unavoidable.,18 It's estimated that I'm going to return to the original shape.,Maybe the ranking is very late.,Don't be disappointed then.。 ”
Ao Tang smiled again, anyway, in the 1500 meters on the 18th, he will definitely not help cheat anymore, if Yu Zhiwei wins another medal, maybe the national team thinks she is worthy of cultivation, and it will be miserable to get her into the official national team.
"The Universiade is all about participation, as long as you work hard, it's enough. By the way, I heard Mi Lu say that this Universiade is a qualifying tournament for next year's Olympic Games, and if you win the bronze medal, will you qualify for the Olympics? ”
After waiting for a while, the other side replied to the text message, and Ao Tang looked at it, but it was a long one:
"There's no way I'm going to London. Won the bronze medal in the Universiade, and indeed has the Olympic qualification for the women's 800-meter freestyle, but the Olympic qualifying tournament is not only this Universiade, such as next year's National Spring Swimming Championships, National Swimming Championships, and National Youth Swimming Championships......
“…… Well, it's not necessarily the best, because who the national team sends to the Olympics involves a game of interests from all sides. Listening to the small talk of several athletes who train together these days, it seems that there are a lot of inside stories, and it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, but it has nothing to do with me, my normal level must be at the bottom of all the athletes who have been qualified. And it's enough to come once, I like to swim, I like only the swimming itself, not the swimming competition. ”
"If a hobby becomes a career, the fun is gone. I didn't have the strength or the idea of being a professional athlete, and I didn't feel free. In the past few days, what time do you wake up, what time do you go to bed, what do you eat, what do you drink, you can't go out, what can't you do...... It certainly makes sense to know the rules, but it's not the life I want. What I want is that in my spare time, I can pull the people around me to soak in the water, I can go with the current, I can go upstream, I can chat on my back, I can play in the water......"
Ao Tang saw it and breathed a sigh of relief, he was afraid that Yu Zhiwei would be carried away by today's victory and start thinking of being a professional athlete, so it would inevitably drift away.
Two heads popped up next to him, Mi Lu was directly on Ao Tang's shoulder, Chen Yuanyuan was slightly in the air, followed Ao Tang to browse the text messages, and Mi Lu said: "It's really disappointing not to do the promising career of a good athlete." Ao Tang, after watching the game on August 18, let's leave early, so that you don't have to be dragged to soak in water. ”
Ao Tang said: "Even if I soak in water, I can't soak it." "I thought to myself, 18 days of fish dad and fish mom are going to invite dinner, what should I do?
