14. The distance between the commentary stand and the swim lane
The first day of the competition day is the swimming qualifiers, as a traditional sports event, the four venues in the city natatorium are lined up for preliminary competitions uninterruptedly, and the snowflakes like manuscripts make Zhen Di like a small spinning top, spinning without touching the ground.
Lin Youxi handed her a bottle of water in between.
"Wipe your sweat, it's only the first day, and I'm even busier on the day of the finals."
Zhen Di handed the contestant information in his hand to Lin Youxi, and his eyes flashed with admiration.
"Senior, your explanation just now is so good, I feel enthusiastic when I listen to it in the audience."
Lin Youxi smiled gently, looking at the restlessness of her fingertips on the top of her hairy head, and her face was kind.
"It turns out that I already have a little fan."
The live director suddenly appeared outside, hurried over to greet Lin Youxi, and whispered a few words.
Lin Youxi frowned, "I'll go, the women's relay game was broadcast by Yilin Sports Station, and the commentary can't open the skylight, but the men's freestyle preliminaries are ......."
Lin Youxi groaned, the director flipped through the information, and suddenly pointed to a line on the staff list and said.
"I think there is a girl here who is from the Broadcasting Department of Kyoto Sports University, who studied sports event commentary, and won the Golden Microphone Award, so it is better to call her to respond to emergencies, and it should be fine to match with Teacher Zhao."
Lin Youxi was silent for a moment, then nodded with a chuckle.
"I think so, what do you think?"
The director nodded in agreement, but when he looked up, he found that Lin Youxi saw that it was a girl next to him.
The girl looked a little sluggish, with a meerkat on her face, a bit like the person in the photo......
When Zhen Di was woken up by the director, in the face of this sudden and precious training opportunity, he reflexively showed a standard eight-tooth smile full of "I have seen the world, I am not afraid", and then discovered a more bewildering fact.
This game is precisely Qi Nan's debut in this year's Youth Games.
God, this is reallyβthe fate of flying.
She couldn't help but imagine that under her energetic explanation, Qi Nan took the lead in touching the wall to win the championship, and in the cheers, the two returned to school with the trophy in their arms......
It's not a shame to daydream, people always have dreams, what if they come true? Rao comforted himself so much, Zhen Di still covered his face and only revealed a few fingers to dissipate heat.
Misinterpreting the expansion of the girl's mind as nervousness, the director looked at her worriedly, and the strong man walked away.
The other commentator on the commentary stage was an old man in his thirties, and she bowed respectfully and called the old "Teacher Zhao Jia", ignoring Zhao Jia's expression when he saw her delicate little body.
Looking at the girl who barely exposed her shoulders after sitting on the seat adjusted according to Lin Youxi's height, and measuring the distance between her and the microphone, Zhao Jia softened the loud voice he had been accustomed to for more than thirty years, lowered his deep voice and asked softly.
"Xiao Di, right?"
"Teacher, you say!"
"Let's raise the seats a little more?"
β......β
Everything is ready to go.
Her heart was pounding, and she could see Zhao Jia's expression in the afterglow, with scrutiny in her gentle encouragement, she put down the teleprompter in front of the plane, took a deep breath, and then spoke, and the clear female voice was transmitted to the live broadcast room in real time through the current.
"It's 10:45 a.m. on October 21, and you're watching the men's 400-meter freestyle qualifiers broadcast live by Yilin City Network TV Station, and I'm the commentator Zhen Di."
"I'm Zhao Jia."
After an opening, Zhao Jia calmed half of his heart.
The pitch is excellent, the tone is stable, the speed reading ability is first-class, although the voice is still a little soft, but it is better to be clear and beautiful, and the person is also clever, and he is a bit capable.
Since it was only a qualifier and the absence of many well-known athletes, the level of expectations from the outside world has dropped, and the attention of the audience has naturally decreased, and there are few people in the stands, presumably not many viewers watching on the Internet.
Thinking like this, Zhen Di relaxed instead, and while responding to Zhao Jia's basic introduction to the freestyle swimming event of the Youth Games, he paid a little attention to the entrance passage of the athletes.
The venue has no windows, and the lights on the scene are sufficient, and the spotlights make the pool area unusually bright.
One by one, the athletes stepped out of the dimly lit athletes' tunnel and stood in the spotlight.
Zhen Di didn't even need to go through the big screen, he could see at a glance from a distance that he was the one who walked to the four roads.
Qi Nan wore loose sweatpants, sat on the stool in front of Sidao, lowered his head and unzipped his shirt, his chest muscles were uncovered, Zhen Di even noticed that two girls working in the infield not far away looked at him and whispered, their faces flushed with fascination.
She rubbed her blushing secretly, and Zhao Jia had already begun to introduce the athletes to the information in her hand.
"In Group A of the group stage, the player standing in the first lane is the seeded player of the Yilin City Swimming Team, Lin Mu, and the registration result is 3:47.14......"
At the same time, the announcer in the venue also introduced the information of the runners in each swimming lane to the scene, and every time the contestants raised their hands, they could set off a cheer in the audience.
Erdao - I haven't heard of it.
Sandao - I haven't heard of it.
Four Roads - Qi Nan.
"Three Baihe and four Qinan, all from Kyoto Sports University, ah, this is a cradle rich in world champions."
Zhen Di looked at the introduction of Qi Nan in her hand, her heart was surging, and she couldn't wait for the whole world to know his name, he was such a powerful swimmer, she suppressed the rising corners of her mouth and stabilized her mind to speak.
"Yes, speaking of the swimming major of Kyoto Sports University, there have been four world-class champions in the past ten years, especially the four-lane athlete, and he still holds the domestic championship record in the freestyle of the junior group of the invitational competition."
He stood in front of Sidao and did stretching exercises, his arms were relaxed, the texture was clear, his abdominal muscles were particularly conspicuous, his eyes suddenly glanced at the commentary table, obviously he was still far away, he couldn't see her, and he couldn't hear her.
But she was still at a loss and almost jumped up from her chair as if her mind was being presented naked in front of everyone...... If she hadn't suddenly come to her senses, she would probably have made a fool of herself out of her foot.
Zhao Jia continued.
"Many of the star players we know are not on the field, because the FINA World Championships will be in full swing from next month, and we all know that the World Championships Olympic Games are the world's biggest swimming event, and it is understandable that there are trade-offs in the case of conflicts between the competition and closed training, after all, it is most important to win glory for the country."
After ridiculing for a long time, the referee in the field signaled that the preparation was completed.
A row of swim trunks swiped their way to the front of the starting line.
Seriously, swimming is indeed a very ornamental sport, and Zhen Tu is definitely not the only one who has this idea.
"Well, now we see that the starter is already in his place."
Preparation β
The electronic buzzer emits a high-pitched "drop" sound.
The game starts β
The calm surface of the pool instantly churned a row of waves, and eight figures entered the water together.
Qi Nan closed his eyes, he couldn't hear anything, as if the whole world had nothing to do with him, and the water flooded from all directions, enveloping his entire body in a soft liquid.
There was a buzzing sound in my ears.
"Qi Nan, the player in the fourth lane, took the lead when he started,"
Zhen Di looked at the figure that shot like a sharp arrow, and suddenly breathed a little breathing, and his heart pounded to his throat.
It's both nervous and exciting.
With a 400-meter race and three turnarounds in the 100-metre lane, a few minutes is enough time to change the situation.
For example, the four runners, who had been leading all the time, suddenly slowed down.
There seemed to be an indistinct burst of boos from the audience.
Zhen Di was stunned.
Zhao Jia also muttered suspiciously, and turned on the microphone.
"We could see that the runner in lane four, who had been leading all the time, suddenly slowed down on the second turn...... According to the data, freestyle is his strong point, and the current situation does not rule out the physical cause of this athlete. β
Everything was so sudden, Qi Nan fell from the first echelon of fierce competition, just after 200 meters, and fell behind.
Zhen Di's throat suddenly choked, and the teacher looked at her suspiciously, just as she was nervous, and just as she wanted to take over the conversation, she heard the girl's quiet voice sound, as if a moment of distraction did not exist.
"Sando's players took the lead after the second switchback, this is Bai He, a player from Kyoto Sports University, who is the gold medalist in the men's 100-meter backstroke and men's 4*100-meter mixed relay at the last Youth Games, and all the results meet the trial requirements of the national team this year, and if he can also achieve good results in the Youth Games, there is no problem in entering the squad."
The slight tremor in her voice was suppressed to the lowest by her, she forced herself not to stare at Sidao, forced herself not to speculate about Qi Nan's mood at the moment, she was now on the commentary table, she had what she needed to do.
After a game, Zhao Jiale patted her on the shoulder, and his appreciation was overflowing.
After the Group A competition, in the interval between the preparations of Athlete B, Zhen Di's mobile phone rang.
"Tu Tu, look at the school forum."
Chen Mo's tone sounded very serious, Zhen Di hung up the phone, opened the school's forum, and browsed all the way, her lips were bitten by herself.
[The performance is like watching a fake game, even if the final direct chase can't erase the deliberate stroke in the middle.] γ
[I'm K, this is the main force of the national swimming team in the future? Has the money arrived? γ
[I heard that he was a freshman, a sophomore and two years ago, and he had never participated in a major competition, so he was afraid of horizontal exposure. γ
[It's a genius who has no fear, doesn't respect the game, it's too arrogant, the famous swimmer Kun doesn't dare to do this. γ
[I'll tell you a joke, the hope of the national swimming team.] γ
These people are talking about Qi Nan.
Unlike the expected lack of attention, the overwhelming doubts on the Internet are almost all aimed at him.
How much praise did you have, but just because your performance was unstable, you provoked such ridicule?
Zhen Di opened the browser for the first time, and seriously typed the word "Qi Nan" in the search bar.
