I am waiting for you in Rio

It was also in April of this year that Park Shin-joong participated in a domestic swimming competition in South Korea, and everything went against him.When he was less than 4 years old, he was No.13 in national swimming.

In November, Park Shin-jung participated in several short-course World Cups.In fact, with his physical and technical conditions, he is more suitable for short courses. His nimble and agile take-off and turning, and the speed of sprinting like a storm, all attract Yang Yang who is watching the live broadcast in front of the TV like a magnet, and he is reluctant to blink. .

This month, Park Shin-jung participated in three short course events in Sydney, Stockholm and Berlin, sweeping all the gold medals in 3 200 meters, 3 400 meters and 3 1500 meters in the three stations.Such an achievement made Yang Yang feel proud of him from the bottom of his heart, but then he turned around and thought, does he still remember who I am?At that time, we only met once and didn't say a few words. Did he forget me?

So Yang Yang is looking forward to the next meeting between the two, but life is impermanent, who knows when it will be?

At the end of 07, when all major competitions of the year were over, the FINA announced the athlete rankings. Park Shin-joong ranked first in the 400m and fourth in the 200m.

At the same time, Zhang Lin set off for a special training in Australia for a period of three months.This matter has been included in the national team plan since 06, because Park Shin Joong has been training in Australia before, and his achievements are obvious to all.

During the three months in Australia, Zhang Lin's grades have improved a lot. In February 08, at the National Swimming Open, he won the 2-meter championship with a score of 400:3, which was more than a second better than his original best time. In the National Swimming Championships in May, he won the 45-meter freestyle again with a time of 04:5, which has already entered the world's advanced ranks.Just this month, Zhang Lin went to Australia again to prepare for the Beijing Olympics.

Yang Yang lost in these two races, losing to Zhang Lin in the 200m, 400m, and 1500m and finishing runner-up.In the last game, he cried after receiving the award.

"I'm going to Australia too, woo woo woo..." he told the coach wiping away his tears.

"Oh, this kid. Going to Australia is not a matter of one word." The coach is right. Zhang Lin is the first athlete of the Chinese swimming team to go out for training. We have communicated and contacted for nearly a year and a half.

"Then what should I do, woo woo... They all went to Australia, they all made progress, when will I win against Park Shin-jung, woo..." Yang Yang, who was so big, squatted on the ground crying with snot and tears. put it.

"..." It turns out that the kid still remembers this, and the coach has nothing to say.

"Woooooo..." Yang Yang continued to cry, extremely sad.

"Stop crying, there are so many people watching." Crying like this, I don't know how to write it on the news the next day.At this time, Coach Zhou hadn't thought that Yang Yang would cry a lot in the future, and the media would not be surprised.

"Otherwise, you can practice at home with peace of mind first, and I'll go to the higher-ups to see if I can get another spot."

"Well, okay." Yang Yang wiped away his tears with his sleeve and stood up, but his mouth was still curled up.

He waited for almost two years, and it was not until the spring of 10 that his trip to Australia finally came true.

In August 2008, the 8th Olympic Games will open in Beijing.

Two weeks before the official opening of the Olympic Games, athletes from all over the world began to move in one after another.Among them, the Chinese delegation checked in the earliest, because it is the host country after all.The rooms of Yang Yang, Zhang Lin and other members of the swimming team were arranged together. During the period of waiting for the start of the competition, everyone was very nervous, especially Zhang Lin, who was under the greatest pressure.Because of this year's Olympics, he shoulders the hope of the Chinese swimming world, and everyone hopes that he can achieve the breakthrough of zero medals in the Chinese Men's Swimming Olympics in one fell swoop.

Relatively speaking, Yang Yang was a little more relaxed. After all, he was not well-known at that time, and he received relatively little attention. Therefore, in the few days before the start of the game, he did not do anything other than necessary drug tests and maintaining his own state. What an extra thing.

When Yang Yang first lived in the Olympic Village, he thought it was quite new.The design of the Beijing Olympic Village residential area is exquisite, somewhat like the landscape real estate in some cities in the south.A large lawn is arranged in the gap between buildings, and thin small gravel roads pass through it.There are also pools and rockeries, and lotus and koi are raised in the water.In some pools, exquisite pavilions in the center of the lake are built, and the long corridors around the pavilions twist and turn, leading directly to the shore.

Seeing the beautiful scenery here, Yang Yang called his two teammates to go out together.They walked here and looked there. After two rounds, Yang Yang had seen enough and went back to his room to watch the news online.In fact, he is waiting for the arrival of the South Korean representative team, and he is eagerly looking forward to competing with his idol in the fantastic Water Cube soon.

On August 8, Yang Yang saw on the news that the South Korean team arrived at the Beijing Olympic Village and held a flag-raising ceremony at the National Flag Square.So Yang Yang lay on the computer screen looking at the photo when the flag was raised, and he was looking for Park Xinzhong.But in the photo, there are only dense figures standing in a square team. There are more than 1 people. How can we tell who is who?In the end, Yang Yang stared until his eyes hurt, but he couldn't find where that person was.But he knew that Pu Xinzhong had arrived, and he felt an indescribable subtle feeling in his heart.

The uniform of the South Korean Olympic team this time is a dark blue suit on the upper body and white pants on the lower body. Yang Yang imagined it in his heart and thought that Park Shin-jung would look good in this outfit.He looked at himself again, and the Chinese team was still the classic tomato scrambled egg suit that has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

Yang Yang really wanted to see Park Xinzhong, after all he had been waiting for this day for a year and a half.But he couldn't just go to the accommodation area of ​​the South Korean team to find him, because Park Shin-jung is the favorite to win the 400-meter freestyle in this Olympic Games.Furthermore, Yang Yang is now a member of the national team, and his every move represents the entire country, so naturally he can't let his own temper do it.

But unfortunately, on the second day, Yang Yang ran into Pu Xinzhong in the restaurant.The restaurant in the residential area is very large and can accommodate 5000 people to eat together at the same time, and the restaurant provides food 24 hours a day, so it is also a kind of fate to meet people you want to meet in the restaurant by chance.

It was around 6:[-] p.m., Yang Yang, Zhang Lin, and some teammates from the swimming team went to the restaurant for dinner. As soon as he entered the door, Yang Yang saw some athletes from the Korean team, because he had been paying attention to the players wearing the uniform of the Korean team. People, so the eyes are extra sharp.These few people ate around a dining table not far from the Asian dining table. Yang Yang glanced over those people one by one, and he found that familiar figure, and he was immediately excited.

"Brother Lin, look, the park is there!"

Zhang Lin followed his finger and saw that it was indeed Pu Xinzhong.Because Zhang Lin was quite familiar with him, she took Yang Yang over to say hello.Unexpectedly, Park Xinzhong knew Yang Yang, so he immediately called out his name.Yang Yang saw that his eyes seemed to light up when he saw him, and he didn't know if it was an illusion.

In the tense atmosphere before the competition, it is not suitable for the athletes of the two countries to talk too much, after all, they are still opponents.So Zhang Lin and Yang Yang just shook hands with Pu Xinzhong, and then went to the dining table to get food, and several of them sat together next to Pu Xinzhong and them.

Among the dishes Yang Yang picked up was West Lake Vinegar Fish, which is a dish from his hometown, and he hadn't eaten it for a long time. Now he tasted it, and found it to be sweet and sour, tender and delicious.He absentmindedly ate a few mouthfuls, then quietly looked at Pu Xinzhong.From his direction, he could only see the side face. Yang Yang felt that when they met this time, Pu Xinzhong was unexpectedly soft and cute, and his demeanor was full of the appearance of a little boy.It is also very cute when eating, hugging and eating like a little squirrel.But he eats very quickly, and a bowl of rice will be gone in a while. After all, he is an athlete, and his appetite is not small.

Yang Yang sat on the chair and thought for a while, then suddenly stood up and walked towards the dining table.Zhang Lin and a few teammates thought he was going to get food again, so they didn't care.In fact, they were only half right.Yang Yang took a plate, took two pieces of West Lake vinegar fish, and walked towards Pu Xinzhong's table with them as if offering treasures.

"Hey, park!"

"?" Park Shinjoong looked up suspiciously.

"Park, this is a dish from my hometown. It's delicious. Try it." Yang Yang spoke all in Chinese, regardless of whether he could understand it or not.

"Thank you." Although Pu Xinzhong couldn't understand what he said, he understood what he meant, and took the plate in his hand with a smile.

Yang Yang sat back in his seat, but still looked here.Pu Xinzhong took a piece of the fish in his arms and tasted it. It was really good, so he also looked at Yang Yang, stretched out his thumb, and made a "great" gesture.Seeing that he liked it, Yang Yang was relieved.

After a while, Pu Xinzhong and the others finished their meal, greeted Zhang Lin and Yang Yang and left.Yang Yang deliberately looked at their dining table, and felt very happy to see that the plate of fish he brought was eaten clean.

Then Zhang Lin finished eating at this table, and several of them went back to the room together.Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked out of the restaurant, Yang Yang suddenly said: "Well, brother Lin, you go back first, I'm not full."

"I'm not full..." Then why did you come to the restaurant?Zhang Lin had nothing to do with him.

"Well, I'm not full."

"..." Everyone was speechless.

"You guys go back first, I'll go eat some more."

He was really not full, because his mind was not on eating at all just now.In fact, this trivial matter at this time was nothing at all, and no one thought that Yang Yang's attention to Park Xinzhong had reached the point where it would affect the results of the competition.
