I am waiting for you in Rio

Such a situation made Yang Yang feel very bad. He called Park Xinzhong many times, but he failed to answer once. He wanted to find him, but now that the competition was coming, it was impossible.Later, Yang Yang had no choice but to call Li Longji, but Li Longji told him to listen to Mr. Park for his own good.

"How is Park now? Is he okay?" Yang Yang asked eagerly.

"Fortunately, brother Yang, don't worry about Mr. Park all the time. His biggest wish now is to hope that you can go to the game well."

"Well, I listen to him, and I must play well."

After that, Yang Yang returned to Beijing. He gathered with his teammates, and after a short rest, he rushed to Rio.

Rio de Janeiro is a passionate and unrestrained city, where the sun is scorching hot, tall palm trees stretch their leaves in the sun, people wear all kinds of colorful clothes, talking and laughing loudly in Portuguese they don't understand.Yang Yang and his teammates took the bus from the airport to the Olympic Village. They walked through the streets and could clearly see the southeast of the city. The huge statue of Christ stood on the Corcovado Mountain overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Rio landmarks.However, facing all this, Yang Yang was a little stunned. He who usually loves to talk and laugh is silent all the way this time, because the person he most looks forward to has not come, and he will start a lonely journey again.

Just a week after Yang Yang arrived in Rio, on August 8, the Olympic Games opened. August 5th is the first day of the swimming competition. The men's 8-meter freestyle still bears the brunt, and Yang Yang's journey begins.He still encountered old opponents in this event, such as Japan’s Kosuke Hagino, who failed to participate in last year’s World Championships in Kazan due to an accidental fracture. Dun, last year's World Championships in Kazan, he was not in good condition, coupled with his inexperience in participating in the World Series for the first time, he was frequently upset, and this year he came with a vengeful heart, unstoppable.In addition, there are Partrinelli, Cochrane, Gay, etc., all of whom are Yang Yang's old enemies on the field.

In the afternoon preliminaries, Yang Yang ranked first overall. In the evening finals, he was in the fourth lane, beside him was Kosuke Hagino in the third lane, on the other side was Horton in the fifth lane, and in the sixth lane was Gay.

At the beginning of the race, Horton took the lead. He turned first in the first 50 meters, followed by Hagino, Yang Yang and Gay again, and this state remained until 150 meters.Horton's team has always regarded Yang Yang as the biggest opponent. They aimed at Yang Yang's powerful late course, and the tactic they formulated for Horton this time was to get rid of Yang Yang in the first half, so Horton swam very fast from the beginning. There is only a thin line between it and the world record.

However, Yang Yang has always been stronger when he encounters a strong opponent. A strong opponent can only stimulate his potential even more. Therefore, not only was he not left behind, but as the schedule progressed, the distance between him and Horton became closer and closer. . After 150 meters, Yang Yang started to speed up, and Horton was a little exhausted because he was swimming too fast in the future. At 200 meters, he watched Yang Yang overtake him.After that, Yang Yang took the lead all the way, leaving Horton farther and farther. At 300 meters, he was almost one body away from Horton.At this time, Kosuke Hagino, who had been following Yang Yang, also started to speed up. He kept pace with Horton for 50 meters, and surpassed Horton at 350 meters.

In the last 50 meters, Yang Yang sprinted vigorously, and the red line of the world record was right in front of him.At this time, the audience had already cheered loudly, but Yang Yang couldn't hear it in the water, and he couldn't see the line of the world record. He just rushed forward with all his strength with that indomitable energy.At this time, No.2 Hagino Kosuke was one position behind him, and the overall situation was settled. Now his opponent is himself, which is the world record.In the last 5 meters, the world record was within reach. Yang Yang touched the wall for the last time, and the red line passed by his fingertips.

3 minutes 40 seconds 05!Yang Yang broke the world record of 3:40 set by Biederman in the fast swimsuit era and won the championship. Since then, the three men's middle and long-distance freestyle events, the world records of 07 meters, 400 meters and 800 meters have all been broken. in the hands of the Chinese.This time, Kosuke Hagino's time was 1500:3, and he won the runner-up. Because Yang Yang played very well in this competition, he also surpassed his usual level by following Yang Yang.Horton won No.42 in the end, while Gay, the runner-up of this event in last year's World Championships, although he also pursued bravely at the last moment, still lost the medal by 40 seconds and won No.3.

After seeing the results, Yang Yang raised his arms and roared angrily, and then broke down in tears in the swimming pool.As early as a few years ago, some senior industry insiders said that if Biederman's record can be broken, then this person must be between Yang Yang and Park Xinzhong, and now Yang Yang has finally done it.Breaking the 400 self-record has been Park Shin-jung's long-cherished wish for many years. After he lost his last chance to participate in the Olympics, Yang Yang is more eager than ever to break this record and fulfill his wish for the park.Therefore, in this competition, his extremely strong desire and desire to win have fully stimulated his potential, enabling him to perform at a super level.In Yang Yang's career in the future, until he retired, his 400 meters never reached such a height.

In an interview after the game, Yang Yang said with tears in his eyes, "I'm very happy to break the record this time, but it's a pity that Park Shin Joong didn't come..." Then he choked up and couldn't speak.From 14 to the present, Park Shinjoong has not appeared on the field for two years. That year in Incheon, the Asian Games where he was confiscated his medals became his last appearance in the international arena. Now two Over the years, he has been forgotten by many people.It wasn't until Yang Yang mentioned it today that the audience thought of this pioneer of freestyle in Asia.

The next day, August 8, Yang Yang successfully passed the 7-meter preliminaries and semi-finals, and advanced to the final with the second overall ranking. On the evening of August 200, the 8-meter freestyle final, which has always been the most intense competition, is about to begin. The big names gathered in this competition, Agnell, Phelps, Lochte, Hagino Kosuke, Biederman, each of them is weight A super person, which makes Yang Yang face extremely severe challenges.

But Yang Yang is the kind of big-time player. He has always been domineering and never frightened. The strength of his opponent can only make him more motivated.After breaking the record and winning the gold on the first day of the competition, he made another effort today and won a silver medal in the 200-meter final with a lot of strong players. The gold medal winner is still Agnell, the champion of this event in the last Olympic Games.

On August 8th, the men's 9×4m freestyle relay competition is scheduled for this day. If the Chinese team can pass the preliminaries and advance smoothly, Yang Yang will play in the final. , the results were not as good as before, so the Chinese team was eliminated in the preliminaries, and Yang Yang got a day's rest for this.This day's rest time is very precious to him, because his schedule was very tight in the past few days, and he continued to rotate every day, and he was really tired at this time.

On August 8th, in the 12-meter freestyle preliminaries, Yang Yang entered the finals with the third overall ranking because of the track arrangement. On August 1500, in the 8m final, Yang Yang met Partrinelli again. This Italian player was the champion of this event at the Kazan World Championships last year (Yang Yang withdrew due to a heart problem). In this year's Olympics, he is still Yang Yang The most powerful competitors; in addition, the strength of Cochrane, Horton and Jagger should not be underestimated.But in the face of a strong enemy, Yang Yang is not afraid at all, and his ambition and pride will be swayed in this clear water.

At 10:30 p.m. local time, the final battle officially began.In the first half, Yang Yang, Partrinelli, Horton, and Cochrane were in a stalemate, biting tightly. After 800 meters, Horton and Cochrane gradually fell behind, and Jagger was in fifth place. Chasing bravely, at this time Paltrinielli took the lead, and Yang Yang was in second place with a gap of half a body.This situation lasted until 1400 meters, and Partrinelli could not distance himself from Yang Yang.

After turning around at 1400 meters, Yang Yang started to sprint.Since his debut, he has been known for his unparalleled sprint ability in the back. At this time, he accelerated and quickly caught up with Partrinelli. By the time of the last turn, Yang Yang was 0.11 seconds ahead.However, he did not dare to relax at all. In the last 50 meters, his movements were still so stretched. Partrinelli was gradually thrown away by him, and the seventh No.8 player was lapped by him. He was like a high-speed boat. The ship rushed towards the finish line with an unwavering attitude.The last stroke hit the wall, and Yang Yang finally won the championship with a time of 14:37. Partrinelli was 16 seconds behind and won the runner-up. Cochran was third. Jagger came from behind and surpassed Horton to get No.2.01. .

So far, Yang Yang's Rio Olympics ended perfectly with two gold medals and one silver medal. His brilliant record allowed him to reach the pinnacle of his career again.He successfully defended two titles in the 400m and 1500m. Counting the nine gold medals in the World Series, he now has eleven gold medals and two world records. No.1 in freestyle, as far as the entire swimming world is concerned, he is also the third person after Phelps and Lochte.

After accepting the award and the press conference, Yang Yang and his assistant went back to the Olympic Village. Just as they were about to walk to the athletes’ exit of the venue, they suddenly heard someone shouting in Chinese behind them: “Mr. Yang!”

Yang Yang stopped and looked back, only to see a young man wearing the uniform of the South Korean team walking quickly, holding a blue box in his hand, and said as he walked, "Mr. Yang, please wait a moment."

Yang Yang stood still. He felt that this young man looked familiar, and he was wearing the uniform of the South Korean team. This made him subconsciously think that what he was going to say might have something to do with Park Xinzhong.The young man walked up to Yang Yang quickly, and the two shook hands. The man said, "Mr. Yang, hello. My name is Song Yunzhen. I'm the interpreter for the South Korean delegation. We met before."

"Oh, hello." Yang Yang remembered that as early as 10 at the Guangzhou Asian Games, he was the translator of the South Korean team. At that time, Zhang Lin was not in good condition. When I started learning Chinese, I found Song Yunzhen to be the interpreter for the two people, and Yang Yang happened to see the conversation between the three people.Later, in the London Olympics and the Incheon Asian Games, Song Yunzhen served as an interpreter for the South Korean team. Yang Yang also met him at that time, but he didn't pay attention to his name.

"Mr. Yang, before we left for Rio, Mr. Park Xinzhong found me and entrusted me to give you this box." Song Yunzhen handed over the blue box in his hand, and then said: "Mr. Park specifically asked me to Give this to you after your game is all over."

"um. Thank you."

At this time, Yang Yang didn't care about etiquette, he couldn't wait to open the box, and there were two things inside, one was the 400-meter gold medal in the Kazan World Championships last year, and the other was a hardcover notebook with a blue cover, which was still very early. The letter Yang Yang sent to Park Xinzhong before contained all the words he wanted to say to him at that time, trivial but true.Yang Yang opened the notebook and turned to the last page where he wrote. He saw a line of Chinese characters written in a childish style in the blank space below his handwriting: Yangyang, I'm sorry, let's end it like this.

Yang Yang looked at the line and was stunned.In front of him was Song Yunzhen's face, his mouth was opening and closing as if he was saying something, but Yang Yang couldn't hear him at all, he just saw him and remembered the Guangzhou Asian Games that year.At that time, Zhang Lin was gentle and elegant, always smiling quietly; Park Xinzhong wore his tomato scrambled egg team uniform over his shoulders, leaning on the guardrail of Haixinsha Square and watching him smile, his red hair blowing in the night wind publicity.

The dead are like this, day and night.

At the passageway where people come and go, Yang Yang suddenly burst into tears.
