Xiaoyezi still lost to the years. As the third-oldest swimmer to participate in the swimming competition of the 14th National Games, Ye Shiwen, born in 1996, lost to Yu Yiting, a young sister of the Zhejiang team born in 2005, in the women's 200-meter individual medley final at the swimming hall of the Xi'an Olympic Sports Center on the evening of September 22, with a difference of 0.39 seconds. But Xiaoyezi swam out of 2 minutes 10.51 seconds, or reached his expectations, from Xiaoyezi's face can not see the loss of the runner-up, more is flat and satisfied. After several ups and downs, Ye Shiwen's mentality has long been flattened, and it is no longer important to win or lose. But it's not that Ye Shiwen has no dreams, she has many more plans: after the National Games, she will first return to Tsinghua to complete her studies, then the Asian Games in her hometown next year, and even the Paris Olympics can be envisioned.
In this National Games, Ye Shiwen has won the gold medal in the 4×200m medley relay, and is the biggest contributor to the Zhejiang swimming team in that relay race, she has shown a very high competitive state, and what makes her swimming fans and fans feel more pleased is that Ye Shiwen's mentality is more peaceful and mature. After not seeing her for a while, Ye Shiwen was still like before, seeing her old friend talking about fat and thin first, she told the Beiqing-Beijing headline reporter, "I didn't see that I lost a lot of weight." Ye Shiwen said that in order to prepare for the National Games, she carefully prepared for three months, and felt that all aspects had been greatly improved. And in these three months, that is, from the time after the Tokyo Olympic National Qualifier failed to qualify for the Olympic Games, she trained very hard, just to prepare for the National Games, to prove herself again, to win honors for her hometown again.
Ye Shiwen after the end of the semi-finals, once and the Beiqing - Beijing headline reporter talked about the goal of the final, she set herself the expected result is to swim to about 2 minutes and 10 seconds, the result is really swimming 2 minutes 10 seconds 51 results, which is more than 4 seconds faster than the timing of her semifinals, so Xiaoyezi is very satisfied after getting the runner-up, the face appears that kind of heartfelt happiness, she also talked about her little sister Yu Yiting, "She still has a lot of potential, We want the winner of the women's individual medley to stay in China forever. For the young athlete's message, Ye Shiwen talked about his feelings from the bottom of his heart, "From the 2012 London Olympic Games to the present, I have experienced several rounds of ups and downs, falling into a trough at the Barcelona World Championships, which is a kind of fear of wanting to win and afraid of losing, leading to fear of going to the game." At the Gwangju World Championships, I reached a relatively high level of my own, but this year I failed to be selected for the Tokyo Olympic team. Now I feel that these twists and turns have been very helpful for my growth. I would also like to give advice to the young players, I hope that they do not care too much about a game or a temporary win or loss, the most important thing is to calm their minds, to learn to accept defeat. ”
Speaking of the next plan, at the National Games, she still has the women's 200m breaststroke to compete in, and at present, her main direction of attack has a trend from medley to 200 breaststrokes, and when it comes to the plan after the National Games, Xiaoyezi still has a lot to do: "I should first return to Tsinghua University to complete my studies, successive competitions have delayed me a lot of homework." After next year's Asian Games will be held in my hometown of Hangzhou, I will definitely strive to compete and achieve good results. And three years later in Paris, I have some ideas now, and I want to stick with it until then. ”
