Chapter 139 ends, awards ceremony
For Xu Cailing, this first gold medal is just the beginning and is far from the end.
After the long jump competition ended, the high jump competition began immediately.
This event has higher technical requirements. Before professional training, all contestants, including Fang Wei and Cai Ling, had to use leaping technical moves.
It is a pity that Fang Wei did not get a ranking in this event. After all, he has no skills and if it is purely a matter of physical fitness, his height disadvantage is still too big in front of the seniors in the second and third grades of junior high school.
However, Xu Cailing still has a dimensionality reduction-like presence in the women's group.
She is now meters tall, which is not short among girls. Coupled with her strong physical fitness, she still easily won the gold medal in the women's high jump event.
Unfortunately, in the last track and field event, the shot put competition, Xu Cailing was finally sniped, missing by only three centimeters, and unfortunately did not get a ranking.
However, Du Pepe exploded. Pepe, who looked gentle and calm on weekdays, turned out to be incredibly strong and won the runner-up in the shot put event.
After the shot put event, all the main competitions of the day were over. Next came fun competitions such as group skipping, tug-of-war, and three-legged race.
The first event to start was the tug-of-war competition, in which all students in the class had to participate.
The rules are also very simple. For competitions in the same grade, the head teachers of the four classes play rock-paper-scissors and draw lots to divide them into two groups. The winners of each group compete against each other to finally decide the tug-of-war champion of the class in the same grade.
The three class teachers, Teacher Liu, Teacher Wang, and Teacher Li, never thought that they would still have the opportunity to play rock-paper-scissors at their old age.
Wen Susu seemed very excited. She rolled up her sleeves and played rock-paper-scissors with her three class teachers, surrounded by her classmates.
"rock-paper-scissors!"
"rock-paper-scissors!"
"Hahaha! Teacher Wen, let's compete with Class 1!"
"Don't be happy too soon! Our class scores are not as good as yours, but we won't lose to you in tug-of-war!"
"Teacher Liu! Don't brag so early! Our class already has four medals!"
"Who's afraid of who? Come on! Here comes the rope!"
The two class teachers had a lot of trash talk before the game, and finally took out the tug-of-war rope to see who was really good.
Under the guidance of Teacher Niu, the girls from the two classes were in the front and the boys were in the back. The heaviest and strongest boys from the two classes were at the end, responsible for stabilizing the entire team.
"Keep your posture low, feet apart, knees slightly bent, weight on your heels...!"
"Keep the rope tight, and stand tight, don't stand too loosely...!"
Such interesting sports can motivate every student.
The ratio of male and female students in each class is similar, and their physiques are also similar, so the competition is about which class has better tacit understanding.
With a command from Teacher Niu, the tug-of-war competition began in a lively manner.
Wen Susu was extremely excited. She stood on the side of her Class 2 team and cheered for everyone.
"Come on! Come on!! The rope is coming! The rope is coming!!"
“What the hell!!”
Teacher Liu from Class 1 was also busy. When he saw the rope going to Class 2, he was so anxious that he almost jumped up and down! He used both hands to direct the rope to swing back like rowing a boat.
"Hurry! Keep your feet steady! Fall back! Fall back!"
Gradually, the rope began to move towards Class 1.
Now it was Wen Susu's turn to be anxious!
"Don't slack off! It's almost over! Kill the whole class! I won't give you any homework this week!!"
"??? Teacher Wen, how can you be like this?!"
Seeing the rope suddenly start to move towards Class 2 again, Teacher Liu became anxious: "I won't give you any homework for a week!!"
"No, Teacher Liu! Is what you said true or false?!" Everyone in the class didn't believe this.
“What the hell!!”
The red cloth on the hemp rope was swinging left to right, and everyone in Group One and Group Two was trying their best.
It's a pity that Class 2 is more united and tacit. With the final roar from everyone in Class 2, the red cloth moved towards Class 2 little by little without looking back.
"Beep——!"
Teacher Niu blew the whistle.
"Class 2 wins!"
On the other side, Teacher Wang also blew the whistle, and Class 3 defeated Class 4.
Next, it was the competition between Class 2 and Class 3.
Both sides were exhausted, but the students in Class 2 seemed to have better endurance. After another tug of war, they finally won the first grade tug-of-war championship with great difficulty!
The remaining fun games are all small group competitions.
Fang Wei and A Sheng were in one group, and Xu Cailing and Liu Zhiyi were in another. They tied their middle legs and put their hands on each other's shoulders.
There is no distinction between men's and women's groups in the three-legged race; all participants compete together on the track and field.
Winning or losing was not important, but they had a lot of fun. The two girls left the brothers behind and giggled all the time.
"You two brothers are no match for me! We sisters are more compatible!"
"..."
……
The happy day passed and it was Friday, the second day of the school sports meet.
The finals of the track and field events will be held in the morning.
Including the men's and women's 4m, 100m, 4*100m finals, as well as the men's m and women's m finals. Unfortunately, Fang Wei only got fourth place in the m final, but successfully won a bronze medal in the m final, and in the *m final, he won the runner-up with Ah Sheng, Lu Jialiang, and Jiang Yuanxin!
After much difficulty, he finally made it to the long-distance running event, which he was best at. As he wished, Fang Wei won the gold medal in the men's 3,000-meter event with a huge advantage, which was also his first gold medal!
As for Xu Cailing, this morning's track and field events were all her solo show. She won gold medals in various events as if she was purchasing goods.
In the women's 12 meters, she won the championship with a time of 94 seconds;
In the women's 26 meters, she won the championship with a time of 27 seconds;
In the 4*100m final, Liu Zhiyi, Wang Yushan and Ye Xiaoli turned the tide and won the championship;
In the women's 1,500-meter final, she won the championship with a time of 5 minutes and 13 seconds...
At this point, all the main events of the first sports meeting of Baitan Middle School have come to a successful conclusion!
In the afternoon, the school teachers also held a tug-of-war competition.
Wen Susu participated in the competition, and everyone in Class 2 ran to cheer her on.
It’s a pity that Teacher Wen’s team couldn’t beat the team of the second grade teacher and ultimately lost.
But Wen Susu also had a lot of fun playing. The key point was that all her classmates came to cheer her on. She was so proud of herself in front of the teachers!
Although she lost the tug-of-war, she did not lose!
The class 2 she taught achieved the best result in this school sports meet!
Thanks to Cailing, Class 2 won more than ten medals this time, and the gold medals were almost all contributed by Cailing alone!
Since the school sports meet has an opening ceremony, there must naturally be a closing ceremony.
After the teachers' tug-of-war competition ended, the closing ceremony began.
Like the usual drills, each grade and class lined up on the playground, and the principal spoke on the podium to summarize the school sports meeting.
"During these two days of fierce competition, our athletes demonstrated extraordinary sportsmanship and outstanding athleticism. We not only saw individual breakthroughs, but more importantly, we saw the embodiment of team spirit!"
“This is the first time our school has held a sports meet, but it won’t be the only one! Students who didn’t achieve good results this time should not be discouraged and should continue to fight next year!”
"Here, I would like to especially praise those athletes who have achieved excellent results. Your hard work and sweat have brought us today's glory!"
"Next, it's time for our awards ceremony! Students whose names are called, please come up to the stage to receive your awards!"
There was warm applause from the audience.
As usual during exercise, Xu Cailing stood at the front of the class and Fang Wei stood behind her.
The girl looked back at him, her pretty face full of excitement.
Although she didn't say anything, Fang Wei had already read the meaning in her eyes: "We are going to go on stage to receive the award!!"
Perhaps Cai Ling never thought that she would have the opportunity to stand in front of all the teachers and students in the school and receive an award on stage in her life.
She, who never gets nervous in competitions, was now so nervous that her heart was pounding and sweat was coming out of her palms. Her big eyes were fixed on the podiums of different heights on top of the rostrum, representing the champion, runner-up and third place winners.
She had originally thought about what posture and position she would use to go on stage, but at this moment before the award ceremony, her mind went blank and she had no idea how to go on stage.
Fang Wei asked her in a low voice with a smile: "Why, you weren't stage-frightened during the competition, but you are now?"
“There are so many people watching…!”
"Don't worry, you're worth it!"
Yes, maybe her grades are not good enough, but her performance in sports deserves such an award!
It’s not only those who study well who can shine. Anyone who can do one thing to the best deserves such shine!
Fang Wei's words gave the girl confidence. She straightened her chest quietly. When her name was called first, she turned around to look at Fang Wei. Then, in front of all the teachers and students in the school, she walked up the stairs of the rostrum and stood on the highest podium to take the championship seat!
"Xu Cailing from Class 12-94, the women's -meter sprint champion! She set the Baitan Middle School sports meet record of seconds!"
Xu Cailing stood on the podium, looking down at the crowd below. She felt that she was standing so high! She had a clear view of all the teachers and students in the school! She could hear warm applause! For a moment, she felt like she was dreaming!
"Student Xu Cailing, congratulations!"
Vice Principal Wu, who had taken photos with Fang Wei, Liu Zhiyi and others before, walked towards her with the medal in his hand, motioned for her to lower her head, and then hung the gold-colored medal with a red ribbon in his hand around her neck.
Xu Cailing touched the medal in her hand. It was slightly cold and heavy. She secretly pinched it with her fingernails. It was very hard. Well, I don't know if it is made of copper or steel.
The sign is engraved with the school emblem of Baitan Middle School, as well as gold-plated words - 2000 Baitan Middle School's First School Sports Meet·Women's -meter Sprint·Champion. The words [Champion] are large and obvious!
The medal is cold, but the girl’s heart is hot!
Before she could take a closer look at the medal, Vice Principal Wu brought another shoe box.
"The box is just a formality first, mainly because we're worried that it won't fit. Later, tell your class teacher, Ms. Wen, and give her the size. The school will reward you with a pair of sneakers." Vice Principal Wu whispered.
Xu Cailing understands.
She was worried that the school reward shoes would not fit her feet, but now she has a pair of sneakers!
She didn't even open the box to look. She just held the medal and the box, and used her free hands to shake hands with Vice Principal Wu. She looked at the camera with a smile together with the second and third place winners. Wen Susu found a good angle and took a photo of them.
Soon, the award ceremony for the 100-meter event was over, and next was the 200-meter event.
Xu Cailing had a headache. During the interval between the awards ceremony, should she go down or continue standing here? !
Fortunately, Vice Principal Wu noticed the girl's embarrassment and said with a smile: "Student Xu Cailing, you don't have to go down, so you don't have to run back and forth."
"Okay, okay..."
Xu Cailing continued to stand in the championship position on the podium.
This might be a spectacle that only happens in the Baitan Middle School Sports Meet. People are coming and going on the podium, but only Xu Cailing is standing there motionless!
Now, not only the classmates at school, but also all the teachers and the principal had a deep impression of this girl.
In individual events, the school will award medals, and in events like the 4*100m, certificates will be awarded.
As the award representative nominated by Liu Zhiyi, Wang Yushan and Ye Xiaoli, Xu Cailing really stood on the podium from beginning to end.
In addition to the shot put event, she won five championship medals in individual events!
Each of these items was a new school sports record. It was probably difficult for anyone to break her record except herself...
Xu Cailing did not come down from the podium until the awards for the women's events were completed.
There were several heavy gold medals hanging around his neck, which jingled when he walked.
The prizes she was holding were ridiculous, including a brand new badminton racket, a pair of table tennis rackets, a brand new basketball, and two pairs of running shoes! Although the various awards can be combined, the school didn't expect that someone could really win so many championships, so they only prepared four prizes. The school didn't know what prize to choose for her, so they simply gave her another pair of shoes...
Fang Wei found it funny to see the excited girl almost unable to hold it.
"You really came to school to buy goods!"
"I'm rich! I'm rich!"
The girl laughed, very happily.
