[Competition] The Road to Champion of the Seventh Prince of the Dragon Palace

The scene was too noisy, Ao Ling stood at the side of the pool and listened for a long time, but couldn't hear what they were arguing about.

On the contrary, the attitude of the referee is very intriguing.

In Ao Ling's impression, referees are always majestic and inviolable, with impatience in their eyes, and what they say is right.

However, the picture in front of his eyes was completely different from what he had imagined. The American team members were talking arrogantly, a little emotionally, while the referee was trying to calm his emotions as much as possible.

Ao Ling was wondering what happened over there, but here, the reporter from the sports channel was urging him to go for an interview.

Ao Ling walked through the mixed interview area, turning his head three times at a step. Suddenly, he heard someone mention his name over there, and he turned his head vigilantly.

It never occurred to them that the content of their argument was actually related to themselves.

So, he immediately turned around and walked to those people.

As soon as I walked over, I received unanimous hostility from two American athletes and two Japanese athletes.

Although Ao Ling didn't know where their hostility came from, he still stared back without any fear.

He thought that his performance today was perfect, and there was nothing that could be criticized. He won the championship with confidence, and he would never be afraid of these people finding fault.

After listening for a long time, Ao Ling finally heard clearly that the Americans were questioning him for making a foul when he set out, but the referee did not blow his whistle or call him back, which aroused their dissatisfaction.

It stands to reason that everyone stood on the starting platform together for the competition. Two American players, one in the fourth lane and the other in the seventh lane, were far away from Ao Ling's first lane. At the moment of departure, everyone was only allowed to stare at On the water surface of their own swimming lane, and the body cannot make any movement, how could they see if Ao Ling jumped?

Naturally, they couldn't see it, but they saw the start reaction time displayed on the big screen.

Ao Ling's starting reaction time is 0.42 seconds.

The vast majority of spectators watch the game just to watch the excitement, and not many people will care about the data of the starting time, because there is no big difference between 0.42 seconds and 0.52 seconds, 0.62 seconds or even 0.72 seconds, but it is just a blink of an eye. Time difference.

But for racing competitions such as track and field or swimming, especially short-distance competitions, the starting reaction often plays a decisive factor.

The difference between No.1 and No.2 is calculated in a few percent. If you set off [-]% or tens of seconds slower than others, how can you compare with others?

The problem now is that in this game, everyone's reaction time is more than 0.6 seconds. Generally speaking, a reaction time of more than 0.5 seconds is considered fast. Ao Ling alone has a reaction speed close to .4 seconds. It's against the sky, okay.

Swimming competitions are different from track and field competitions. The starting reaction time of track and field is the pressure of the feet on the starting block, while the starting reaction time of swimming is the feet leaving the starting platform. Therefore, most of them are above 0.6 seconds.

It is about the ownership of the gold medal. The Americans are so excited, he can understand, what are the Japanese excited about?

So, he finally raised his head and glanced at the big screen—it turned out that the two Japanese players were No.3 and No.4 respectively. If he had no score due to a foul, they would be promoted to No.3 and No.[-] .

After figuring out the reason of the matter, and watching the Americans argue hard, the referee tried every means to appease, and the Japanese followed suit, he thought it was very funny, so he really laughed out loud.

He smiled with crooked brows and eyes, looking very good-looking. The melon-eaters who were still paying attention to what happened on the field all cast their eyes on his face.

Being able to remain calm at a young age, and to face doubts from American and Japanese players on the spot with a smile is the demeanor of a general.

Ao Ling waited for a long time. Under the unrelenting demands of the American players, the referee really lodged a complaint with the technical center on the side.

After waiting in the arena for a while, the athletes for the next match had already started to enter the arena. There was no result yet, and even the audience in the stands began to wait a little anxiously.

In the stands, several people were sitting together discussing this matter.

Liang Fan said: "It is really difficult to see if there is a foul with the naked eye, but the referee did not call everyone back after the start, which means there is no problem."

"Nonsense," Qi Yi glared at him, "If you have any problems, you can wait until now."

Fu Xingtu sat there with his arms folded, and did not speak from the beginning to the end.

He believes in Ao Ling. His starting reaction has always been maintained at a relatively high level. He has not made a jump in the past three years. It is impossible to make such a mistake in such an important competition as the Olympic Games.

After a few minutes, the referee team finally gave the final result:

According to the electronic timer, the pressure sensor of the take-off platform, and the high-definition camera display, Ao Ling, who was in the first lane, had a starting reaction of 0.42 seconds. There was no problem, and the competition result was valid.

Hearing the news, Shen Xingguo, who had been standing by the side, heaved a sigh of relief.

He wasn't worried about whether Ao Ling really took the jump, what he was worried about was that certain countries were so influential that they could influence the referee's decision.

Fortunately, in the face of high technology, all data are clearly displayed in front of everyone, and no falsification is allowed.

Only then did Ao Ling walk to the mixed interview area and accept the interview.

Reporter: "Although there was a small episode, I still congratulate you on winning the fifth gold medal in this Olympic Games. What do you want to say about the doubts raised by the American and Japanese players just now?"

"Fuss."

The reporter from the sports channel almost didn't react when he spoke so directly. He held the microphone like that, and after two seconds of silence, he remembered the next question: "Many people are very curious. You are obviously swimming in short-distance events. Why do you Will participate in the 200-meter medley, can you solve this doubt for us now?"

This topic is a bit long, and it has to be traced back to the youth competitions. Ao Ling summed it up concisely: "Because Fu Xingtu asked me to give up, I have to prove it to him, I can do it!"

It's Fu Xingtu again. Fu Xingtu managed to stay here today. Ao Ling's personal interview still kept his teammate in the same sentence. It seems that the relationship between the two is really good.

The reporter asked again: "You did well in the 200-meter freestyle, why didn't you apply for your individual event?"

Ao Ling blinked her eyes, her eyes looked innocent and pure: "You must give others a chance."

"..."

Fans who watched the live broadcast said: "He is so Versailles, I like it so much."

As an athlete, winning a gold medal in a lifetime is already the greatest honor.

Arriving at Ao Ling's place, he won five gold medals in the Olympic Games for the first time, and there will be three competitions in the future.

The most important thing is that he is only 18 years old this year. If he is self-disciplined and hardworking, it should not be difficult for him to participate in three more Olympic Games.

So far, Ao Ling still doesn't know what the Olympics mean to him, and what changes will be brought about in his life after the Olympics.

He only knows that he is in good condition and getting better and better. In the next two days, he still has three events. He must train well, rest well, and compete well.

The next competition is the 100-meter butterfly. He and Fan Yuhao both entered the final of this event. In addition, the last Olympic champion, Singaporean Sterry, and American players Wayne Brown and Kevin Brown also competed. made it to the finals.

A week after the Olympic Games started, Ao Ling's name was listed on various social platforms and sports forums for a week. It can be said that as long as anyone who has watched TV or knows how to surf the Internet, there is no one who does not know the name Ao Ling.

The audience who can come to the scene to watch the game, in addition to the games of their own national players, are most concerned and looking forward to the moment when Ao Ling plays every day.

He walked from the recording room to the swimming pool. Before the broadcast started to introduce his name, the enthusiastic applause from the audience rang out first.

There are too many people who like him. A news program on a local French TV station randomly interviewed passers-by on the street and asked them their favorite athlete in this Olympic Games. Without exception, the answer they got was Ao Ling.

Being handsome is second, and good figure is not important, the key is to like to watch him swim.

The athletes have already stood on the starting platform, and the "Everyone on your place" prompt has sounded, and the athletes have bent down one after another. At this time, the referee blew a few short whistles to signal the athletes to stand up first.

Then he turned to face the stands, and made a quiet gesture to the audience.Remind them that too much noise will interfere with the athletes listening to the starting gun.

Ao Ling has spent a lot of time on the 100-meter butterfly in the past six months. When he set off in the morning, he was joking with Fu Xingtu: "I think something big is going to happen today."

"What's the big deal?" Fu Xingtu thought for a while, "Is it a big deal for you to get a gold medal now?"

Little Dragon Cub smiled mysteriously: "Of course it's not as simple as winning a gold medal."

"That is……"

Speaking of this, Fu Xingtu suddenly realized what he was referring to, turned to look at Ao Ling, the little guy grinned at him confidently.

From the moment he entered the water, Ao Ling didn't give any chance to his opponents, including Fan Yuhao who flirted with him all day long.

Fan Yuhao is not Fu Xingtu. When playing with him, Ao Ling doesn’t even have those thoughts of “Should I win him” or “Will he be unhappy if I win him?” He also wants to give his teammates a little hope of winning the championship, but his strength does not allow it. .

The swimming pool that can accommodate 2000 people is full, and the 100-meter butterfly is the most exciting game this morning.

All the audience couldn't help but sit upright, staring at the Chinese athlete in the fourth lane, witnessing him to win his sixth gold medal in this Olympic Games.
