water blossoms

The venues used for the competition were too high, strong teams and weak teams had to swim in it, so each representative team did not have much time to go into the water, and soon the Chinese team's time came, and Wen Hao came out of the water.

When he took the backpack, he glanced casually and found that Gong Cheng also got up from his seat, looking like he was about to leave.

That posture, as if he came here specially to watch his training.

Wen Hao felt extremely helpless.

Gong Cheng is a person with a strong sense of presence, and it is difficult for people to ignore him. What's more, Gong Cheng will always appear in front of him deliberately, even if he wants to pretend to be invisible.He was angry with Gong Cheng's actions, but he was helpless in the face of Gong Cheng's actions.

He couldn't suddenly rush up and chase people away, could he?Others are afraid that he will be regarded as a lunatic.What's more, doing this by yourself will only make Gong Cheng happy.

Forget it, try to ignore it.

The schedule of the World Championships this time was very loose, and the entire schedule lasted for half a month.In the first few days there was no competition for Wen Hao, but he would go to the arena to cheer for his teammates, and diving and tricks are also swimming systems. Everyone is very close in and out of competitions on weekdays, and he will go to cheer for his teammates.

He could see Gong Cheng every day. At first, he was sitting in the auditorium behind the largest representative of China, and then he was sitting in the middle. Today, for some reason, he sat in the seat of the representative team, about eight blocks away from him. The position is left and right, and now I am talking happily with the head coach Zhou Ming.

There was an 800-meter preliminaries this afternoon, I went down for a swim, successfully qualified for the group stage and entered the semi-finals.

It's a pity that the results are far from as good as the last competition in Japan. He really tried his best that time.

Another day later, Wen Hao suddenly found that there were only two people between him and Gong Cheng. The man sat in the middle of the swimmers with a calm expression, as if he was also here for the competition.

Wen Hao felt heavy in his heart and restless.Could it be that after tomorrow, this person will be sitting next to him majestically?

After finishing the semi-finals of the 400-meter freestyle in the morning, he entered the finals smoothly, and the track was on the third track. The very good results showed that he entered the finals with the No.3 score.

Back in the stands, next to his seat, Gong Cheng was indeed sitting.

Wen Hao: "..."

Gong Cheng also saw him, with a smiling expression of inviting you into the urn.

Wen Hao withdrew his gaze, walked over there, stopped beside Ye Shuwen under Gong Cheng's surprised expression, smiled at his teammates, and changed positions.

He couldn't see Gong Cheng's expression. It was a pleasure to be able to talk to Coach Ye at close range, and it deserved his wholeheartedness.

Ye Shuwen said: "Do your best for tomorrow's 800 meters. Don't put too much pressure on yourself. In the past six months, we have confirmed that 400 meters is the perfect distance for you to squeeze your physical fitness."

Wen Hao nodded: "It's a day after the 800 meters and 400 meters, no problem, I will work hard."

Ye Shuwen thought for a while, nodded, and said with a smile, "That's fine, I'm the one who cares too much."

"You want me to win a medal too."

"More than that, I want you to win the gold medal."

"I will definitely work hard."

Ye Shuwen raised his hand and patted Wen Hao's back.The thick and hot palms were stuck to the flesh through the clothes, like lava, Wen Hao managed to restrain his trembling.This feeling of being expected and cared for is so nostalgic. How can I make the coach my own?I really want to confess, the feeling of boiling is almost uncontrollable.

In the afternoon of that day, Wen Hao didn't go to the swimming pool again. Gong Cheng had a way to force him to retreat step by step until he escaped completely.

The next morning, the second match was the final of the men's 800m freestyle. Wen Hao only scored No.5 in this event, but Liu Lang put all his energy into this event because of Japan's loss to Wen Hao. Won the gold medal for this project.

So far, Chinese men's swimming has finally won a gold medal.

Wen Hao congratulated Liu Lang and returned to the stands together. Liu Lang suddenly said, "Huh!? Why didn't Gong Cheng come today?"

Wen Hao didn't answer. He had already found out that Gong Cheng didn't come today. This is a very noteworthy thing. You must know that Gong Cheng came here to watch his competition. There is no reason why he would be absent from the final event where he might win a medal. Obviously there is something more important.

When he came back to his senses, Wen Hao was a little annoyed. He could ask himself not to pay attention to Gong Cheng, or he could show that he didn't care about Gong Cheng, but he couldn't deny that he would still be influenced by Gong Cheng. People noticed him.

At the end of the day's game, Gong Cheng didn't show up all day.

The next day, there was the 400-meter freestyle final in the morning. The competition time was around 10 o'clock. After warming up properly, Wen Hao put on clean swimming trunks and a loose T-shirt on his upper body, and returned to the stands.

Then he saw Gong Cheng on the left side of the seats of the Chinese team, and Shi Yang was sitting beside Gong Cheng.They were talking about something, and then Shi Yang saw him, smiled and waved at him.Wen Hao is not sure if it is his own psychological effect, Shi Yang seems to have lost a lot of weight.In my impression, Shi Yang has always been fat as a baby, with slightly curly hair, very gluttonous, and a bit of a nasty look, but now his chin is thin, his face is as big as a palm, his eyes are big, and he looks like a net red snake man Very similar.

Wen Hao returned to his seat and sat down. He talked with the people around him for a while, but his attention was a little distracted. He remembered that Shi Yang's father seemed to have been expelled from the party and sentenced to life imprisonment. The situation of losing a loved one reminded him of own.

When he was 11 years old, his mother woke him up, and he ate white rice porridge and sugar buns made by his mother. When he went out, his mother kissed him on the forehead. He called to the office and told him that the commuter car his parents were riding in overturned into the river. There were more than 30 people in the car, but only four were found alive, and the rest sank to the bottom of the river with the car.

Overnight, he became an orphan.

He has personally experienced the feeling of being an orphan, and he has some unspeakable sympathy for Shi Yang, but after thinking about it, Shi Yang still has relatives alive, and his situation is somewhat different from his own.

However, even so, the departure of a close relative is still a painful pain.

The sign-in for the men's 400-meter race began. Wen Hao left the stands with his travel bag. He walked a little ahead of Liu Lang and entered the locker room one after the other.

No matter how slow the pace of the competition is, you will always be nervous when it is your turn to play, especially before the finals, there is a cruel feeling that you are about to fight on the battlefield, it is either you or me.

Soon, the women's 400 meters ended, and the contestants entered the field. Wen Hao walked in front, and Liu Lang walked behind with a person separated.

This time, in the 400-meter semi-final, Liu Lang swam very thrillingly and almost failed to make it to the final, so he was ranked in the first lane.Wen Hao performed very well, and basically has the possibility of winning the championship.

Halfway to the road, someone blew a whistle, and immediately there was cheering in the stadium, especially when Chinese players appeared on the track, the cheering sound was deafening.

The advantage of the host players is that although the momentum is not the decisive factor during the competition, it can also play a good supporting role. What's more, in the competition held in China, everyone wants to win medals, get more applause and flowers.

Wen Hao feels good.

The sound of cheering gave him the belief in victory, as if he had collected the prayers of believers, he gained great strength.

"beep--"

On your marks.

"beep!"

set off!

Wen Hao jumped into the water, carrying the expectations of the audience, as well as his own desire, to cut through the waves and strive for the top!

400 meters is less than half the distance of 800 meters. After getting used to 800 meters or even 1500 meters of practice, 400 meters is just a relatively short distance.

Wen Hao had no extra thoughts, recalling the game where Japan won the gold medal, he tried his best to squeeze his potential, and tried his best to swim to the best, even if his chest hurt badly, he didn't dare to relax for a moment.

The number of laps is decreasing, and the distance to the finish line is getting closer and closer.

The last ring of the bell rang when he turned around. The moment Wen Hao stepped on the wall of the pool, he curled up into a ball, as if he had jumped to the extreme bowstring, and with a "buzz", he was ejected like a torpedo, drawing a picture on the bottom of the water. A white streak of water.

In the 400 meters, the gap between everyone was not very obvious. Until the last lap, no one was sure that the person in his eyes was the champion.

Not to mention the players who struggle in the water.

Wen Hao doesn't know his ranking, all he can do is surpass himself.

go ahead.

keep moving forward.

The speed of the water stroke became faster and faster, and the sound of the water flow in the ear also accelerated, especially the surge of the water flow became stronger, which indicated that the entire swimming pool was boiling.

It seems that I heard the sound of cheering...

It is the cry of the Chinese audience.

At this moment, Wen Hao seemed to be empowered and rushed to the finish line.

one more time.

one more time!

4''51'02

Gold medal at the World Championships!

In a real sense, the gold medal of the world champion!

Wen Hao waved his hand.

There was deafening applause from the auditorium.

Wen Hao smiled and wanted to say that his life was not in vain!

Soon, the award ceremony was held in the venue. Wen Hao walked in the middle of the team, and then stepped on the highest position. The blond and blue-eyed president of the World Swimming Federation brought him the gold medal, and the national anthem was played in the venue.

"stand up……"

Wen Hao looked at the rising five-star red flag, his heart was surging, and his eyes were wet.In the national anthem, he recalled the scenes of learning to swim from childhood to the present, in spring, summer, autumn and winter, every day, every day in the cold pool water.Whether it is exhaustion or pain, it has gone away, and he finally stood on the highest podium in the world.

The joy of victory is so intoxicating, the tears full of tears finally cannot bear to drop, but they are tears of happiness.

After the awards ceremony, the reporters came to take pictures. Wen Hao, who was rarely standing in front of the camera, was nervous and at a loss. With a twitch of his head, he picked up the gold medal and took a bite.

"Crack!"

Eternal memory is thus branded.

Looking back a few years later, I still feel so stupid...

After parting from the reporter, he turned his head and saw Ye Shuwen. Seeing the other party stretch out his hand, Wen Hao's heart was beating loudly, and he threw himself into Ye Shuwen's arms.

Ye Shuwen patted him on the back and said, "Good job."

Wen Hao smiled like a flower.
