After a summer vacation, a classmate became an Olympic champion?

Chapter 22 My son’s classmate is an Olympic champion!

At 17:30 on the 28th, at the home of Chen Shu's classmate Zhang Jingyu.

"The Chinese women's swimming team is in the third lane!"

"The women's 4*100m freestyle relay officially begins!"

"The first runner is Yang Junxuan, the main force of our domestic 100m freestyle!"

"..."

It was dinner time, and Zhang Jingyu was eating with his parents while watching the live broadcast of the Olympics on CCTV-5 on TV.

"Dad, I have a classmate who also participated in the Olympics!"

Zhang Jingyu suddenly said to his father, who was slightly stunned and didn't react: "Your classmate, participating in the Olympics?"

Zhang's mother also raised her head curiously and looked at her son.

"Yes, my classmate, the one you know, is Chen Shu, who I get along well with!"

"He's going to the Olympics!"

"You kid, are you kidding me?"

Dad Zhang said with a bit of a laugh, thinking his son was joking.

He had met this Chen Shu several times, and he got along very well with Zhang Jingyu. He often came to his house as a guest and had dinner with him several times. He had good grades, but he often took extra classes and practiced skateboarding. He was a very hard-working child.

"Really, he was in the competition in the early morning yesterday, and he won the first place in the preliminaries!"

Zhang Jingyu was afraid that his father would not believe it, so he quickly took out his mobile phone and showed his father the chat records of the classmates group, which happened to have a video of Chen Yu's preliminaries.

"Everyone in our class knows about it. It's a national sensation now!"

"Look at the Moments he posted, and the WeChat messages he sent me..."

Zhang Jingyu was talking so much that even though the women's 4*100m freestyle final was being broadcast on TV, Zhang Jingyu's father still snatched his son's phone, and Zhang Jingyu's mother also leaned over. The two did not watch the video, but looked at the chat history, which also included screenshots of Chen Shu's trending searches.

The 13-year-old young athlete Chen Shu... These words were very eye-catching.

"Damn, is he really that Chen Shu?"

"Participating in the Olympics?!"

Zhang Jingyu was stunned. He looked up at his son and nodded his head like pounding garlic.

"I didn't expect it. I don't think that kid is anything special, but he is indeed better looking than Jingyu and taller..."

Zhang Jingyu's mother couldn't help but say that now he is an Olympic athlete. The two of them didn't even care about eating. They were looking through the chat records of their son's classmates. The more they looked, the more excited they were.

"Haha, Zhang Jingyu, you actually have such a classmate?"

Zhang's father was teasing, but Zhang's mother laughed and scolded: "Your classmate is participating in the Olympics, look at you, your summer homework is like a bunch of nonsense, I don't even bother to say anything about you!"

Other children are excellent, and mothers must be unhappy, but Chen Shu is participating in the Olympics, this level is too high, she can only vent her anger on her son.

"Mom, watch TV, what do you say I am doing!”

I should have known not to tell them.

Zhang Jingyu was thinking depressedly, but pointed at the TV in the living room: "My teacher said that Chen Shu will have the finals later. It should be the women's final, which is the men's relay. I don't know what event it is, but it's a swimming relay. It starts at 5 o'clock!"

"We have to see. What if he wins the gold medal? Oh, your kid also has an Olympic champion classmate!"

"You can brag about it and stand up straight!"

"My son's classmate is an Olympic champion, hahaha!"

Dad Zhang is a fun-loving person and is already looking forward to such a good thing.

Zhang Jingyu looked at the TV, but curled his lips: "It should be difficult to win the championship. Our teacher said that we should be able to win a medal..."

"A medal is not bad. He is only 13 years old. Do you want to die? ”

Dad Zhang curled his lips and simply stopped eating. He watched the women's 100-meter freestyle relay on TV. Zhang Yufei jumped into the water as the fourth runner. He knew this swimmer. She was the current top swimmer in the swimming team, the first in Chinese women's swimming history, and won two gold medals in the Tokyo Olympics.

"Come on!"

Dad Zhang was shouting there, and the commentary on TV was also very passionate. After all, she was now ranked second.

"Zhang Yufei, our Chinese butterfly queen Zhang Yufei!"

"She is chasing the first-place Australian player, and next to her is the American team!"

"In fact, we are not without a chance to fight against the United States. We swam almost as well as them in several World Championships...Okay, Zhang Yufei started to speed up. She kept pace with the American team. In the last ten meters, Zhang Yufei was still fighting hard!"

"Come on, Zhang Yufei, hold on! ”

Swish!

The TV clearly showed that the Australian player was the first to reach the edge, while the United States and China were the second.

At least, the audience could not tell who was first and who was second, but the ranking and the national flag of the lane instantly jumped out on the TV.

China, second!

The bright five-star red flag and the second place logo appeared in the third lane.

"Silver medal!"

"Alright!"

Dad Zhang laughed, and the commentator at this time also announced the results of the women's 100-meter freestyle relay, breaking the Asian record again!

"Awesome!"

"Breaking the Asian record and winning a medal is comparable to a gold medal! ”

Although Zhang’s father is not a senior sports fan, he still watches the Olympics frequently.

“Now domestic swimming is awesome, winning medals all the time. You never saw that before. When I was a kid, Europe, America and Australia were the masters. The kids swam faster than us!”

Zhang’s father was talking to Zhang Jingyu who was eating, while the contestants of the men’s 100-meter freestyle relay had already walked out of the channel one by one.

There will be a shining debut ceremony for the finals.

Everyone at the entrance of the channel will have a few seconds of action close-up, and the athletes can do various celebrations, with the national flag on the big screen behind them.

“Mom and Dad, look, it's him!"

"Chen Shu!"

Zhang Jingyu put the bowl on the coffee table, and the rice in his mouth spurted out directly; Zhang's father and mother looked at the figure wearing sunglasses and white national team uniform on the TV.

"It seems that it is really Chen Shu!"

"He has grown a lot taller!"

"About 1.7 meters tall, right?"

"It should be due to growth!"

Zhang's father's last sentence made Zhang's mother laugh: "I remember when he came to my house last year, this child was almost as tall as me!"

"Awesome, he has become an Olympic athlete?"

"Look at yourself, you little brat, don't you feel ashamed? If I were your classmate, I would definitely not play with you in the future! ”

Father Zhang didn’t forget to complain about his son before he finished. Zhang Jingyu was too lazy to bother with two people. He didn’t know the brotherhood between him and Chen Shu at all!

“Stop arguing, let’s start!”

Zhang Jingyu was tough for once. He looked at Chen Shu on TV, slapped his whole body with exercise, and walked onto the starting platform.

“When did this guy develop such a body of muscles!”

“Awesome! ”

Looking at Chen Shu with eight abdominal muscles and two pectoral muscles showing, Zhang Jingyu would be lying if he said he was not envious.

Wearing goggles and a swimming cap, matched with the red swimming trunks of the national team, he was so cool!

Zhang's father and mother also stared at Chen Shu on the TV without blinking, and only heard a beep, and then everyone was ready to start.

Ding!

The starting gun sounded, and Chen Shu, who was the first runner in the fourth lane, jumped directly into the water.

0.68!

Chen Shu's reaction time to start.

He was just the slowest among the eight players; the fastest was the American team, 0.48, which was almost the limit of human reaction.

This was just a start, and it was 0.2 seconds slower!

"Hey! ”

Looking at the reaction time popping up on the big screen, Cui Dengrong, who was watching the live broadcast of the game in the background, clenched his fists tightly; it was obvious that he was also very nervous. After all, this was the final and it was related to the competition for medals.

Chen Shu was still too young. Compared with the players from the other seven countries, he was not only the youngest, but also lacked competition experience.

It was normal that the reaction time ranked last.

However, just when Cui Dengrong was worried that Chen Shu would lag behind everyone in the first start, several Chinese swimmers who were also watching this live broadcast all screamed.

"Third!"

Zhang Yufei, who had just finished the 4*100m women's freestyle relay, raised her arms: "Xiao Shu, come on!"

"Hurry up!"

Everyone was shouting there, watching Chen Shu, who ranked third the moment he came out of the water.

"How is it possible? ! ”

Cui Dengrong obviously couldn’t believe what he saw; after all, he had been training Chen Shu for half a year.In the month, he knew exactly what kind of swimmer Chen Shu was.

He was a super late-stroke swimmer.

The further back he got, the faster he was; at the beginning, he was always the last one in the swimming team.

It was not until after the 50-meter turn that he began to show his late-stroke speed and began to overtake his opponents one by one.

Even in the 50-meter freestyle, Chen Shu also exerted force in the last 25 meters.

"Oh no, this kid is swimming blindly!"

"The rhythm is all messed up, why is he so fast at the beginning?"

Cui Dengrong could only think of one possibility, that is, Chen Shu used all his strength in the late stroke in this early stroke. He didn't know at all that Chen Shu now had a time to activate the acceleration skill throughout the whole process, so the moment he jumped into the water, he activated the skill directly.

"I forgot to tell this kid!"

Cui Dengrong was thinking anxiously. He only had one guess now. Chen Shu had fought for his life for this final. He wanted to exert his full strength at the beginning and then confirm his advantage... But if this guy does this, then in the later stage -

"Huh?"

Cui Dengrong looked at Chen Shu, who had only swam 20 meters, and now... he was actually in the first place.

First place?

"When did he overtake 2?"

Cui Dengrong couldn't help but speak out his thoughts. Zhang Yufei on the side hurriedly said: "Just now, he overtook one in 10 meters and one in 20 meters. It's so fast. Xiao Shu is swimming so fast. I feel faster than Wang Haoyu!"

Yes, this time Chen Shu's speed was so fast that no one could imagine it.

Even the three teammates who were relaying with Chen Shu on the sidelines were frightened by Chen Shu's momentum at the beginning.

25 meters, completely confirmed his advantage.

Moreover, this advantage is still expanding.

"This kid must have taken an aphrodisiac today!"

"But it's hard to say, is he exploding all his strength in the back end in the front end?"

Pan Zhanle and others had the same idea as Cui Dengrong.

But the facts proved that Chen Shu's speed was getting faster and faster!

There was no slowdown or effort.

Half a body length, half a body length... When Chen Shu turned around 50 meters underwater, he was half a body length ahead of the first-place American team.

"Okay!"

"Our 13-year-old Chinese player Chen Shu is in the lead in the first leg!"

"It's incredible. Everyone thinks he is a substitute, but we can clearly see that he is the absolute main force in the men's 4*100 meters!"

"He withstood the difficulties of the first leg and is half a body length ahead of the American team!"

"And the gap is still widening!"

The CCTV commentator shouted excitedly: "Chen Shu is 0.3 meters per second faster than the second-place American team and Australia!"

"Oh my God, he is still accelerating!"

"He left the second place behind by a whole body length!"

"What kind ofA speed, he simply replicated the miracle of Pan Zhanle's last leg yesterday morning!"

"Reach the edge!"

"Our Chinese team reached the edge first, leaving the second-place American team nearly 2 meters away!"

"Ahhh, 47.20 seconds!"

"Chen Shu swam 47.20 seconds in the first leg, breaking the world youth record for men under 18 in the 100-meter freestyle!"

"Ahhh!"

The commentator was so excited that he could hardly control himself.

It was not until a few seconds later that she said: "Chen Shu pushed this record forward by 0.1 seconds, a full 0.1 second improvement!"

The world champion Fu Yuanhui, who was responsible for commentating the final, spoke this long paragraph in a broken voice.

He was really too excited.

"A 13-year-old swimmer broke the world youth record! ”

47.20 seconds!

A new world youth record for men’s 100m freestyle!

Previously, the record was 47.30 seconds set by Romanian world swimming star David Popovich at the European Youth Swimming Championships in Rome on July 8, 2021!

Chen Shu remembered it wrongly.

Because in this European Youth Championship, Popovich was also the first baton in the men’s 4*100 freestyle relay, swimming 47.56 seconds, breaking the record of Russian player Minakov in 2 2020 created the world youth record of 47.57 seconds.

And in the final later, he broke it for the second time, which was 47.30 seconds!

One event, breaking the world youth record twice.

But now, these two records have completely become a thing of the past.

The new world youth 100m freestyle champion is born.

He has an extremely resounding name, a 13-year-old swimmer from China - Chen Shu!
