I, Yan Jiefang, will live to 2025 in this courtyard house.

In the following days, Yan Jiefang stayed in his dormitory and did not go out except for mealtimes.

At most, he would just visit the venues of the projects he was going to participate in to familiarize himself with the facilities.

On the 17th, because he was competing the next day, he and all the swimming team members, as well as many athletes from other events, totaling more than 160 people, did not participate in the opening ceremony that day.

Fewer than 140 people represented the national team at the opening ceremony.

The group included leaders, gymnastics, table tennis, men's basketball, diving, and canoeing teams, as well as a small number of track and field athletes and shooting team members.

Early on the morning of the 18th, Mu, the leader of the swimming team, rushed to Yan Jiefang's dormitory and knocked on the door to call for help.

Fortunately, Yan Jiefang gets up early every day at this time and completes his daily cultivation.

Upon hearing the knock, he immediately went to open the door.

Upon seeing Yan Jiefang, Team Leader Mu immediately spoke:

"Comrade Yan, are you ready? Let's go have breakfast first, and then get familiar with the venue as soon as possible, so as not to rush and delay winning the gold medal."

It would be such a pity if I missed the competition!

Yan Jiefang was truly impressed by this guy; his sense of honor was just too strong!

In order to have some peace and quiet later, he used mental manipulation to calm him down.

Around 7:30 a.m., Yan Jiefang followed the swimming team and took a bus to the competition venue—the Olympic Park Swimming Pool.

All of this year's competitive swimming events will be held here.

More than forty minutes later, the national swimming team arrived at the location.

More than 20 people, including some of the swimmers who participated in the competition today, Yan Jiefang, and related coaches, team leaders, team doctors, translators, equipment managers, etc., entered the venue one after another through the athletes' passage.

Guided by volunteers, they entered their country's waiting area.

Afterwards, everyone took on their respective duties and got busy.

After completing their warm-up exercises, some athletes jumped into the nearby warm-up pool to begin their acclimatization training.

Only Yan Jiefang sat slumped in a chair, looking around.

Although people had some disagreements with his attitude, they didn't voice them and kept them to themselves.

After all, they had all witnessed the old man's swimming speed.

That's undeniable!

With only a few tens of minutes left before the 9 o'clock start time, athletes from various countries arrived one after another.

The nearly 10,000-seat audience was almost completely full.

The swimming pool was bustling with activity.

Yan Jiefang even saw a small number of local cheerleaders waving their national flags in the stands.

In this day and age, those who can travel abroad to come here are no ordinary people.

Time flies, and several tens of minutes passed quickly. With the announcement in English over the loudspeaker, the preliminary rounds of the 200-meter freestyle began.

Yan Jiefang competed in the second group.

He easily secured first place in the group with an absolute advantage.

And he broke the record of 1:47.44 with a time of 1:46.32.

This was without him exerting any force at all.

Otherwise, if we swim for less than a minute, wouldn't everyone explode?

Well, let's be lenient when we can.

Who can blame him for being so kind?

Of course, if the results are too abnormal, doping tests are more likely to be detected.

It's important to know that you can't participate in any competitions during a doping test.

With his competition schedule so tight, wouldn't he be furious if testing started on the very first day?

So, will the sports meet still be held?

Even so, this achievement caused a huge sensation.

Originally, everyone knew that his performance would be incredibly impressive, given his significant lead.

Unexpectedly, when the results were finally released, everyone except the national team was completely shocked.

Only those in the national team know exactly how much water Yan Jiefang had been embellished.

That's more than the water in the ocean!

The national team leaders, not wanting to hinder his chances of winning a gold medal, earnestly advised him to carefully control his pace.

Winning a gold medal is enough; there's no need to make everyone so anxious.

They all knew that the people of that country were very jealous and loved to engage in underhanded tactics.

This is, after all, a competition held on someone else's turf, so it would be best if nothing unexpected happened.

Yan Jiefang readily agreed to the proposal.

He only needs to win the 15 gold medals he's aiming for; everything else is secondary.

In the subsequent 100-meter breaststroke preliminaries, he remained far ahead.

He broke the record with a time of 1 minute 01.04 seconds.

His score naturally placed him first, allowing him to participate in the two finals tomorrow at noon.

During this time, he saw that some people seemed to want to go to the podium to report something. Team leader Mu also saw this situation and immediately became very nervous.

Yan Jiefang's eyes flashed with golden light, instantly "pacifying" these people.

And planted a time bomb in their hearts.

In the men's swimming team, apart from him, the results of the others were much worse, and only one athlete surnamed Chen made it to the finals.

However, their performance was basically at the bottom, and their hopes of winning a medal were extremely slim.

Two female swimmers, however, performed exceptionally well and are likely to win medals, with even a chance to win gold.

On this very day, the nation's first gold medal was won by a female athlete on the 10-meter platform!

This athlete shares the same surname as Xu Damao.

She is a 17-year-old girl with short hair from Jiangxi.

The next morning, at the same swimming pool, Yan Jiefang continued to participate in the preliminary rounds of the 100-meter butterfly and the 400-meter individual medley.

The finals held at noon today were divided into two groups, A and B, with the top 16 athletes from the preliminary rounds participating.

He easily won both the gold medals in the men's 200m freestyle and the men's 100m breaststroke.

Finally, China achieved its first Olympic swimming medal.

The two female athletes who followed him also achieved success, each winning a silver medal.

On the second day of the Olympics, the swimming team won two gold and two silver medals, making them major contributors to the national team. Team leader Mu was beaming with joy.

When Yan Jiefang stood on the champion's podium twice, some well-informed international friends finally recognized him.

This person is actually the winner of four gold medals at the last Olympic Games!

The person who broke the records for the 100-meter, 200-meter sprint, and long jump!

The records he set are still unmatched to this day!

He is hailed as the "God of Basketball"!

Unexpectedly, besides being good at running, long jump, and basketball, he is also an exceptional swimmer!

Many people speculated: No wonder we haven't seen him participate in any international competitions all these years, it turns out he has been focusing on practicing his swimming skills in the pool every day!

Perhaps only someone like him, who is passionate about what he does, can achieve such remarkable success!

Even American sprint star Carl Lewis felt relieved when he heard Yan Jiefang was swimming; the pressure from that man was just too great!

Since he went to participate in swimming, he probably won't participate in sprinting events anymore, right?

Does that mean I have a good chance of winning the gold medal?
