hand over talents to the country

The days of training in the provincial team were very hard, but very fulfilling.

Before he knew it, Ji Ke was promoted to the third year of junior high school.

Ji Ke's birthday in this world is in March, which is when the provincial team is busy training, so his 16th birthday was spent in the provincial team.

He is quite popular in the team, and many teammates gave him birthday presents on his birthday.

And Liu Ping, who gave him a new mobile phone.

On the night of his birthday, Ji's father and Ji's mother rushed over from their hometown and had a meal with Ji Ke.

One month after my birthday, the Olympic trials ushered in.

The Olympic Trials, also known as the Olympic Qualifiers.

The trials are divided into two rounds. The National Swimming Championship and Olympic Trials held in early April is the first trial. Athletes who get the A standard this time will be eligible to participate in the Olympics.

The National Swimming Championships held in early June is the second selection match. This competition is a fill-in match, mainly for re-selection for events that are not full.

Athletes from Jiangxi Province who passed the first selection include Ji Ke, Gao Guowei and Song Jingzhao.

Unfortunately, Li Jiayang and Song Geng won the first trial and only got the B mark, but fortunately they passed the second trial and finally qualified for the Olympics.

After Song Jingzhao came back from training, he changed coaches and joined Ji Ke under Liu Ping's staff.

Zhang Jun made a big fuss over this matter, but he didn't get Song Jingzhao back after all the fussing. Instead, he was found out many times for encouraging athletes to use doping in competitions.

Encouraging or even forcing athletes to use doping is a big mistake that violated the bottom line, and Zhang Jun was directly expelled from the provincial team.

Other athletes under him were assigned to other coaches.

After all, these athletes are not very old, followed the correct coaches to accept the correct ideas, and their three views have gradually been corrected. At least there are no more lawless people relying on their ability, and the provincial team has returned to calm.

After the selection of the Chinese swimming team was over, the athletes selected for the national team had concentrated training together for a few days before embarking on the journey to compete abroad.

Song Jingzhao's name had appeared on the national team's roster. Everyone had a good impression of him and knew that he was an unreasonable and violent person. So when the intensive training just started, no one wanted to talk to him. .

But time can test everything. After getting along for a long time, everyone found that this person seemed not as rude as the rumors said, and was even quite friendly. Gradually, the athletes who trained together were willing to accept him.

On the eve of going abroad, Song Jingzhao confides his heart to Ji Ke for the first time.

It's not awkward, there is a meaning of gratitude hidden in some very mean words, it is really full of gratitude from attitude to language.

He said to Ji Ke: "I used to listen to Zhang Jun's words especially, and felt that all the people who showed good intentions to me were actually malicious, so no one paid attention to me."

"The more no one pays attention to me, the more unconvinced I am. I thought to myself that I am so powerful, you don't hurry up to curry favor with me, and you all avoid me like a plague god. It's really stupid."

"It's like following in a circle. I want others to talk to me, but others don't talk to me because of my temper. If I don't talk to me, my temper will be even worse. It keeps going in an infinite loop."

"It was really that game. By accident, I got rid of Zhang Jun. Otherwise, let alone entering the national team to compete abroad, I must still be in that vicious circle."

"Come to think of it, it's embarrassing to say those words, but I do thank you a little bit."

Ji Ke felt that he was really working hard. Whenever Song Jingzhao wanted to talk, he would chat with him. This kind of life lasted for several months.

So he was not polite, accepted Song Jingzhao's thanks, and made his request to the other party for the first time.

Olympic Games, come back with more gold medals.

The 2016 Olympic Games will be held in Brazil, which is the same world as Ji Ke was in before.

Two weeks before the competition, athletes from all over the world arrived at the venue one after another.

The Olympic Games still does not limit the number of events athletes can sign up for. As long as the schedule does not conflict, you can participate in as many as you want.

But in such an international competition with strong opponents, in order to ensure that the athletes have sufficient energy and perform normally, each athlete only participated in two individual competitions at most.

The Chinese swimming team has a total of 30 people. These [-] athletes signed up for each small event of the swimming event, some for one, some for two.

季柯报名了200米和400米的自由泳、李佳洋报名了100米仰泳、宋庚报名了400米仰泳、高国伟报名了100米自由泳和800米自由泳、宋景召报名了400米蛙泳和800米仰泳。

The above is the registration status of athletes from Jiangxi Province.

In addition to individual competitions, female athletes also have team competitions such as synchronized swimming.

Anyone who participates in such a large event for the first time will be nervous.

But Liu Ping didn't let Ji Ke do high-intensity training every day before the game like he did in the domestic league before. He just let them go into the water every day, don't be unfamiliar, and the training should not be excessive at all.

The athletes are looking forward to it nervously, and their parents are also waiting for the Olympic Games every day.

Take Ji Ke's parents as an example. The couple counted the days on their fingers every day, waiting for the Olympic Games like the stars and the moon, but they dared not contact Ji Ke for fear that they would disturb the children.

In the much-anticipated anticipation, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games finally arrived.

The chairman of the Olympic Committee made a speech, athletes from all over the world entered the arena, the flag was raised and the hymn was played, the athletes and referees took the oath, and the torch was lit...

The process is going on one by one, TV programs from various countries are broadcasting live, and the whole world is paying attention to this grand event.

In the past, Ji Ke also watched the Olympic games, but he has never been as excited as he is now.

He felt his heart beating continuously, and the sound of his heart beating was almost as loud as the sound in the Olympic stadium.

In the past, he was a spectator in front of the TV. Today, he is an athlete standing in the Olympic arena, and an Olympic athlete who is qualified to win glory for the country.

The competition was in full swing on the second day of the opening ceremony.

On the first day of the official competition, the swimmers of the swimming team went to the swimming pool to compete.

Ji Ke didn't have an event today, so he just sat in the auditorium and watched other contestants' games.

Gao Guowei's 100-meter freestyle was held today, and two other senior athletes with international competition experience also had events today.

Gao Guowei's project is in the morning, and the projects of the two seniors are in the afternoon.

Ji Ke watched the game intently in the auditorium, not only to see how their teammates performed, but also to get familiar with the atmosphere of the game.

Although they have long been familiar with the competition process, they have never participated in an international competition. Watching the scene and watching the video are completely different things.

The three athletes who participated in the competition today came back with two medals, one silver and one bronze. One of the seniors won the silver medal, and Gao Guowei won the bronze medal.

This is only the first day of the competition, which is a very good result.

Ji Ke lived in the same room with Gao Guowei, and when he rested at night, Gao Guowei was still in a state of excitement.

"I didn't expect, I really didn't expect, I won the prize! This is my first time to participate in an international competition, and it is the most famous international competition like the Olympics, and then I won the prize!"

Ji Ke really couldn't bear to hurt his self-confidence, but this guy was so annoying, he kept saying 'Hey hey hey, I won the prize' when he was about to sleep, the disturbing person really couldn't sleep.

Considering that there will be a game the next day and he needs to be energetic, Ji Ke directly threatens to bet his mouth with tape.

Gao Guowei stopped laughing, but kept turning over. In the end, Ji Ke still didn't have the heart to stuff his mouth with tape, and put on the earplugs himself.

Due to Gao Guowei's over-excitement last night, they hadn't paid attention to other events. They didn't know until the next morning that the first gold medal on the first day of the game was won by a female athlete of the Archer team.

In the shooting competition yesterday morning, an athlete from the shooting team won the gold medal in the women's 10-meter air pistol, winning the first gold medal for China.

The domestic media reported it one after another, and netizens quickly reposted it. The news about the first gold has been on the hot search lists of various platforms for a whole day, which made many busy student party office workers who have no time to watch the game react.

The Olympic Games have officially begun.

After a whole night, Gao Guowei was not so excited anymore, and began to have time to discuss yesterday's first gold.

"It's really a woman who doesn't give way to a man. The girls in our country are really amazing! I decide that Chen Xue will be my goddess until the first gold medal in the next Olympic Games appears."

Chen Xue was the athlete who won the first gold medal in the shooting team yesterday.

Gao Guowei was in the mood to discuss other people's games, but Ji Ke didn't.

Because his 200-meter freestyle will be at ten o'clock in the morning.

Ji Ke finished his breakfast at about 07:30 in the morning, and after digesting for half an hour, he began to warm up and wait for the game.

Half an hour before the start of the game, Liu Ping came to find him.

Except for Song Jingzhao, the athletes selected from Jiang Province this time participated in the Olympics for the first time.

Ji Ke is also different from them. The others have more or less experience in participating in international competitions. Even if they are not swimming competitions around the world like the World Championships, they have at least participated in international competitions in Asia.

It is true that Ji Ke has never played abroad.

Therefore, he was regarded as the key target of Liu Ping's psychological counseling work.

When he woke up this morning, Ji Ke was in a bad mood, but after entering the swimming pool to warm up for a while, he didn't feel so scared anymore.

He trains hard all the time, and he never slackens a day. No matter what the comparison is today, he thinks he can accept it.

Liu Ping said nothing more than these words.

Preparations for the men's 200-meter freestyle, and the athletes are on their positions.

Ji Ke stood on the swimming lane, looked left and right, and found that the American player on the left was from the United States, and the player from Japan was on the right.

I don't know why, at this moment, Ji Ke felt a strong desire to win.

He felt that his blood was boiling, and his competitive spirit had never been so strong in his life.

In this game, he must win!

Gunshots rang out and the athlete entered the water.

Through the swimming goggles, Ji Ke glanced left and right at the people beside him, then swam his arms vigorously and swam forward.

For 200 meters, you have to swim back and forth twice and touch the pool wall four times. Every time Ji Ke touches the pool wall, he will take a look at the people around him.

With limited vision in the water, he can only see people on his left and right sides.

The Olympics deserves to be the Olympics, and all countries send the strongest athletes. Ji Ke has tried his best, but he still feels very strenuous.

His opponents are overtaking him.

Before going into the water, Ji Ke thought that he would win the game, but when he saw the white man on the left surpassed him, he only had one thought in his mind.

It doesn't matter if you don't win this game, it's okay, he has to overtake the people on the left and right.

In the end, Ji Ke didn't know how he swam the 200 meters. He used too much strength in the water, and after breaking through the water, he felt his mind was blank.

He didn't know how many places he took, but he only remembered seeing out of the corner of his eye that it should have surpassed the people on the left and right sides.

In front of the TV that Ji Ke didn't know about, the swimming pool had been turned into an angled shot, and a numerical ranking appeared above the eight swimming lanes.

The lane he is in, the number is '1'.

Ji Ke climbed ashore, still a little unconscious, but the reporter excitedly held up the microphone and came to interview him.

The reporter asked, "How do you feel about swimming?"

Ji Ke responded, and replied: "It's okay, I'm quite satisfied."

"Guess how many times you swam."

Seeing his excited face, Ji Ke felt a little confident, "Top three, I see you are very happy, I should have won the prize."

"It's the top three," the reporter said, "You can guess which one is in the top three."

"Second." The reporter asked this question, and there must be more than the top three, so Ji Ke guessed very boldly.

After finishing speaking, the reporter smiled, "You are No.1! You won the first gold medal in swimming!"

Ji Ke's eyes widened instantly, "Number one? Me?"

"Is it really me? Am I number one? I won the first gold in swimming?"

"Gold medal! Gold medal!"

He was still laughing at Gao Guowei yesterday, but today it's his turn.

Sure enough, only through personal experience can we know that the mentality of winning an award is really hard to calm down.

The reporter asked him a few more questions later, but Ji Ke was in a state of extreme excitement, and didn't understand his question very clearly, so he answered it vaguely.

When the reporter's question reached the point of "did you ever think that you would achieve such a good result", Ji Ke recovered a little bit of thinking ability.

He said: "No, not at all. I think it's very good if I can win a bronze medal. I don't dare to think that I can win a gold medal."

Reporter: "Do you think you are an extraordinary performer?"

Ji Ke nodded, "Yes, I don't think I'm very good, I just saw this beauty standing on my left..."

He remembered that this was an interview, and what he said might be heard by the whole world, so his voice stopped immediately.

The reporter showed a clear expression and nodded several times, "I understand, I understand."

Ji Ke also laughed, and continued: "Yes, the left side is... and the right side is... Well, I think that even if you can't get any cards, you can't lose to them."

Knowing everything, the reporter and Ji Ke looked at each other and smiled.

Then the reporter asked some other irrelevant questions and let him go.

Back in the rest area, Ji Ke was surrounded by people, and all the athletes who had no events gathered around him.

"The first gold! The first gold! The first gold in swimming, Ji Ke, I declare that you will be my male god in the future."

"It's so exciting! It's so cool! I'm so happy, woo woo woo, I'm happier than I won the award myself."

"Look, you also said that I exaggerated last night, you should really look in the mirror now to see how bright your smile is."

Hearing Gao Guowei's words, Ji Ke touched his face subconsciously. After touching it, he found that it was true, and he was actually smiling all the time.

Liu Ping came over and gave Ji Ke a big hug, "That's great!"

The athletes celebrated on the spot, and the domestic network also reported the Olympic awards in real time.

The first gold in the swimming section, within an hour, all major websites began to report this news.

The first gold is eye-catching, and Ji Ke's interview language is astonishing, and netizens have followed suit.

Because of this gold medal, Ji Ke also came into the eyes of the people of the whole country.

[Netizen 1: The one on the left...well, the one on the right...well, can't lose, can't lose [狗头]]

[Netizen 4: Seeing the subtle smiles that the reporter and Ji Ke showed together, I couldn't help laughing with them [狗头]]

[Netizen 11: Everyone is Chinese, everyone understands [狗头]]

Ji Ke's mood finally calmed down, and he heard the voice of the system in his head.

[Protagonist level 25, current protagonist level 85, please make persistent efforts of the host! 】

Ji Ke was startled, "Add so much all at once?"

"Because the Olympics is a very well-known sports event, if you win the first place, people all over the world know about it." 520 said: "And you won the first gold in the swimming section, plus your interview, now it is really the whole people. From old to young, everyone loves you very much."

"This is what my system displays."

"But it's also because this is the first game where you became famous. No one knew you before. You can gain the favor of many people from scratch at once, so the degree of the protagonist has skyrocketed. You already have Once the foundation of the public’s favor is established, it may grow very slowly.”

Ji Ke nodded, "Got it, it's pretty good."

On the second day after the official start of the Olympics, the Chinese team won two golds, two silvers and three bronzes in total, of which one gold and one bronze were contributed by swimming events.

On the third day, Ji Ke had no events and just sat in the audience watching the game.One silver and one bronze were awarded in the swimming event today, and I went back to make statistics in the evening, and today I got one gold, two silvers and three bronzes.

On the fourth day, the men's 400-meter freestyle that Ji Ke signed up for was held at 2:[-] pm. This time, he was not so strong and won the first place, but it was not bad, taking No.[-].

Ji Ke was very satisfied with the result. What made him feel no regrets was that the men's 400m freestyle champion was a Brazilian.

After the 400-meter freestyle competition, the system sounded again, reminding him to increase the protagonist's degree by 5 points, and the current protagonist's degree is 90.

Sure enough, as 520 said, after the popularity increased, the growth of the leading role became much slower.

But don't worry, the days to come are still long, he still has many competitions to participate in, and many prizes to win.

His swimming career is still far away.
