Chapter 41 Six Gold and One Silver
In the hotel arranged by the organizing committee, he was arranged to live in a hotel with athletes from Eagle Country, Australia and Canada.
Because at this time, Xiangjiang still belonged to the Commonwealth country and region.
Athletes in Australia and Canada did not treat him as an outsider, especially female athletes, who liked to drill into his room.
The 1970s and 1980s were the most chaotic era in the West, and AIDS only appeared at this time.
Since the emergence of AIDS, the atmosphere has improved a lot, but in the athlete group, because most of them are "clean" and checking every now and then is much more chaotic than ordinary people.
When they first moved in, Zhao Shanhe was a little conservative, but seeing that they were not only lazy but also crowd-minded, it was really eye-opening.
Of course, there are not athletes who are not self-disciplined, but the atmosphere is definitely relatively open.
In such an environment, Zhao Shanhe did not hold on for even a day and shared a friendship with a beautiful flower girl named Atolis from Brisbane, Australia.
The next day, she was unwilling to accept her teammates, which made Zhao Shanhe feel the feeling of being hollowed out for the first time.
Even if his current strength is 1.9 and his endurance is 2.0, which is twice that of an ordinary person, he can't stand the pressing of two juicers.
Moreover, they are not weak, they all have physical fitness that is far beyond ordinary people.
The crazy life lasted for a week, and there were three days left to compete, and everyone was at peace.
Zhao Shanhe is the most popular player among male players, and his attention has even exceeded that of a series of record holders Matt Biangdi.
However, he is not the most popular player, the most popular player is the famous star Kristen Otto from East Germany.
In 1982, she won three gold medals at the World Championships at the age of sixteen. In 1984, her Olympic dream was shattered due to the Soviet Union boycotting the Olympics.
In 1985, she suffered a serious neck injury and was treated for nine months before she returned to the court.
Her tragic color and her achievements far beyond ordinary people make her the biggest star in this World Championships.
After careful consideration, Zhao Shanhe gave up the 1500-meter freestyle competition based on the competition schedule.
There is a little conflict between the 800 meters and 1,500 meters race. If you want to participate in all of them, it is equivalent to having to participate in the 1,500-meter race just after the 800 meters swim.
He signed up for a total of 50 meters, 100 meters, 200 meters, 400 meters, and 800 meters in freestyle. He signed up for 100 meters, 200 meters in breaststroke, and 700 meters in total.
From the first day of the game, Zhao Shanhe showed unparalleled strength.
His competition density is far more intense than that of ordinary athletes. Compared with him, there is only one Biondi.
This is mainly because Biondi not only has individual competitions, but also team competitions.
However, as long as Zhao Shanhe participated in the game, his advantages were obvious enough. The series of world records that Biondi had originally broken were broken by Zhao Shanhe.
He also became the most dazzling star at the beginning of the game.
On the audience stage, he also had the most supporters. Because the Sports Federation organized a tournament to watch his game, waiting for him to win the gold medal, and the Chinese team has also become his fans.
The Huaxia team has no advantage in swimming, but the diving team is a real strong team.
Although the Chinese team has not yet become the Dream Team, it is almost at the position of Dugu Qiubai in diving events.
There are fewer diving competitions than swimming competitions, and the competition starts a little later.
Most of the Chinese team members came to cheer for Zhao Shanhe in addition to preparing for the battle.
On the third day, Zhao Shanhe lived up to expectations for the first gold medal, defeated Biondi, and won the gold medal in the freestyle 50 meters with a time of 21.05 seconds.
There was still a 100-meter freestyle gold medal in the evening, and Zhao Shanhe also won the championship with a time of 47.45 seconds by 0.2 seconds by Biondi.
This result is 0.15 seconds faster than Zhao Shanhe's world record of 47.60 seconds.
Zhao Shanhe became the most dazzling star, and Otto did not disappoint everyone. In the women's 50m freestyle competition, she defeated Chinese player Yang Wenyi and won the first gold medal with a time of 25.49 seconds.
On the fourth day, Zhao Shanhe won the gold medal in the freestyle 200 meters and the silver medal in the breaststroke 100 meters.
He did try his best in breaststroke, but his advantage is not as good as that of the American player who has been practicing breaststroke since childhood.
But on the fifth day, he successfully took revenge and won the championship again in the 200-meter breaststroke event.
At the same time, he also entered the 400-meter and 800-meter finals in the freestyle.
At this time, the Chinese team also began to show their strength. In the diving event, the Chinese young players achieved one after another.
Especially Gao Xiaomin, the diving queen has shown her aura of no other than me.
The total score of more than 600 points was also the first time in diving history that someone scored more than 600 points.
On the field, Zhao Shanhe and the Chinese players supported each other. The Chinese players came to cheer for his game, and in addition to his game, he also went to cheer for the Chinese players.
It’s just a pity that no male swimmer can enter the finals.
On the sixth day, Zhao Shanhe won the fifth gold medal, and the only event he participated in was the freestyle 800 meters.
He was far ahead with five gold medals, and the one he lost the most was Matt Biundi.
Although Matt Biundi also won a gold medal, he won three silver medals, all of which were under Zhao Shanhe.
On the seventh day, Zhao Shanhe easily won the gold medal in the 800-meter freestyle, and also increased his medal number to 6 gold and 1 silver.
At this time, he felt relaxed and was an audience in the last few days.
With a stuttering and mother, they watched the Chinese team beat the heroes in the diving field. At the invitation of Atolis, they watched the Flower Tour game.
Unfortunately, the Australian team was not good at making a comeback and only finished sixth in the preliminary round.
Entering the finals, they were excluded from the top three before the results of the game were fully released.
In Xiangjiang, Zhao Shanhe won six gold medals and one silver medal started a craze since the first day he passed his results back.
Every final of his game can attract countless people to watch, and in Xiangjiang, many businesses have prepared a lot of rewards for him.
Xiangjiang's previous gold medal awards have also increased year by year. Although they have not won Olympic medals, they have won medals, or even gold medals at the Commonwealth Games, Asian Games, and World Championships.
This time, the reward offered by the Xiangjiang Sports Department is HK$40,000.
This money is not much, it is equivalent to the ten months of average salary in Xiangjiang.
However, these rewards are not important, what is important is the conditions for daily training and living allowance.
At the Olympics, because Xiangjiang has not won a medal so far, the prize money is very high.
In addition to government departments, the rewards given by merchants and sports associations are gratifying.
Since 1984, Mr. Huo awarded a kilogram of gold for Chinese and Hong Kong athletes to win Olympic gold medals, and at the same time, there were 80,000 US dollars.
Zhao Shanhe has not come back yet. According to media statistics, the amount of sponsorship he received has exceeded one million US dollars.
A small part of it is cash, most of it is other materials.
For example, MTR announced that it would take Zhao Shanhe for free for his life. In the future, he would only need to scan his face and take the subway in Hong Kong without spending money, including other transport means of MTR.
There are also rice shops that promised that they would provide him with free rice for life, thirty kilograms per month until his death.
Some real estate developers also knew that their family did not have a house yet and were willing to sell it to him at half price.
Zhao Shanhe waited until the last day of the game and was about to return home.
He also won the Best Athlete Male and Female Athlete at the cocktail party before leaving, but only one trophy and certificate.
Because it was a yellow man who broke the advantages of white men, Zhao Shanhe still received a lot of intentions.
Many media questioned that he had taken a stimulant that could not be detected at present, but for Swimming Union, they had used various methods to prove Zhao Shanhe's innocence, and the honor he deserved was given.
He won the best results of six gold and one silver. If he was not named the best male athlete, it would seem discriminatory.
Zhao Shanhe, who returned to Hong Kong with a reputation, was popular with the media this time. Kai Tak Airport even opened a media seat specifically for him to prevent chaos in the airport due to overcrowding.
As soon as he got off the plane and saw the crowds of pick-up personnel, Zhao Shanhe knew that his first phase of goals had been achieved.
He has already obtained fame and money.
After coming to this world for sixteen months, everything is on the road of planning.
"Zhao Shanhe, what do you want to tell the people of Hong Kong about the results of winning six gold and one silver this time? What are your arrangements for this high bonus?"
"The success we have today is inseparable from the support of my alma mater, Huangren Academy, Sports Federation, Swimming Association, and Victoria Park Management Office. Without their support, I would not have a superior environment to conduct scientific training without distraction. Again, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to them on my behalf.
I am a child from Xiangjiang. I can get today's results, which is inseparable from the cultivation of the Xiangjiang environment. I am proud of being a Xiangjiang person. Thank you everyone!"
Zhao Shanhe's humble attitude gained a lot of favor, not to mention that this was when he was in the limelight, and no reporter would be ignorant and pour cold water on him.
The biggest difference between sports stars and entertainment stars is a measure. Good grades are good, and bad grades are bad, and it is impossible to question.
Another reporter asked: "So what are you going to deal with the high bonus this time? Will you buy a house?"
"Yes!" Zhao Shanhe said firmly: "I can buy a house. This is not only me, but also my mother's life expectation. However, I don't know the specific situation about the bonuses, but I will not ask for these bonuses. I will donate them all to contribute to Xiangjiang's sports career.
I don't need these rewards, and I should give to other athletes who are striving for their goals."
