The Sweetness of the Seventies-Chapter 1223 - 1191: Stimulants

When she returned in the evening for rest, Huo Yingjie came to accompany his wife and spend this significant moment in life with her.

Of course, Xie Feifei, who shared the same dorm, was fast asleep— so soundly that not even thunder and rain would wake her.

Because Huo Yingjie had covered the area with a barrier.

Huo Yingjie came over, gently hugged He Tiantian and said, "Don’t worry, your performance is great, just play to your usual strength."

He Tiantian nodded and replied, "Mhm, I’ll give it my all. Is there anything else I need to know?"

"Let me think." Huo Yingjie pondered about the Olympics in his previous life, which had many unfair calls, "When you perform to your usual abilities, try to be as standardized as possible. That way, others can’t find faults in you, not even if they are nitpicking."

"You’re saying there are people making unfair calls?" He Tiantian asked.

Huo Yingjie nodded, "Yes, but you can be at ease. You’ll be recorded throughout the swimming event, especially during turns and finishes. As long as you do well, even if others want to use some tricks, they’d be paper tigers in the face of absolute power."

He Tiantian nodded and replied, "I understand, don’t worry."

The two discussed many points of attention until He Tiantian fell asleep, and then Huo Yingjie left.

The competition began the next day.

Originally, Bai Qiongyu and He Jingyu planned to watch He Tiantian’s race, but Bai Qiongyu didn’t come due to her health, so they watched the live broadcast at home.

Because of the time difference, the family stayed up late to watch.

He Tiantian’s agile figure and absolute speed secured her first place in every group race of the three events on the first day.

Every time He Tiantian appeared, the crowd’s cheers erupted irrespective of nationality; everyone loved this amazing woman dubbed the "Swimming Barbie." This petite Eastern woman possessed immense energy, surpassing the long-legged foreign women and always reaching the finish line first.

An entire day of intense competition had made He Tiantian somewhat tired, but after drinking Essence of Water, she could always restore her stamina in the shortest time.

This water was personally prepared by Huo Yingjie for He Tiantian.

It could not only relieve fatigue but also replenish energy.

He Tiantian stunned the sports tourist spectators with her successive achievements.

He Tiantian participated in eight events, preliminaries, and finals—thirty-two races in total to complete her Olympic journey.

However, the swimming competition was over five and a half days, and He Tiantian had to compete in an average of seven races every day.

Because of He Tiantian’s outstanding results, half of the Huaxia Country’s broadcast was focused on her.

The willingness to broadcast He Tiantian came partly because she is beautiful and famous, and partly because her performance was so good that she was a hot favorite for the championship.

One hundred meters, two hundred meters, eight hundred meters freestyle, breaststroke, and butterfly at one hundred meters and two hundred meters each, and the last event was the team freestyle relay.

"Swimming Barbie" almost daily appeared on the newspapers, not only of Country H but also of Korea, Europe, and America.

People marveled at He Tiantian’s speed and beauty, and her impressive resume became a hot topic as numerous newspapers covered her story.

Huo Yingjie was delighted to see his wife shining bright every day, and her accolades were well-deserved.

On the third day, the swimming finals commenced, and He Tiantian had to give her all in the competition.

Today was the hundred-meter freestyle. He Tiantian was in lane three, standing on the platform, waiting for the starting gun.

Everyone passing by He Tiantian would give her an extra glance, baffled by how such a petite body could contain such extraordinary power.

He Tiantian smiled at everyone, aware of the many cameras on her. She couldn’t allow any negative expressions to be captured.

He Tiantian was prepared and upon hearing the sound of the gun, she immediately jumped into the water. Her slender and powerful arms whipped through the water, and she moved swiftly like a mermaid.

At this moment, the Essence of Water in He Tiantian’s palm shone brightly as if granting her additional strength. She won the championship with a world record-breaking time of 48.52 seconds, causing an uproar.

He Tiantian held the Five-starred Red Flag high, declaring to everyone that the champion was from Country H.

Afterward, she also set records and won championships in two hundred meters and eight hundred meters freestyle. Out of three races, she broke the world record in two.

When they saw He Tiantian’s fantastic results, some accused her of doping because they couldn’t understand how someone so small could have such immense energy and achieve such great results.

But He Tiantian walked with integrity and sat upright, not at all afraid.

Zhu Zhitao, Coach Wu, Doctor Li, and their assistants all came to accompany He Tiantian for the doping test.

The Olympic doping test results had to be verified in the presence of the athlete’s national team staff and the Olympic Committee inspection group, who collected the urine and prepared two samples.

"Don’t worry, Xiao Hu will be with you," said Coach Wu. It’s always a hassle when the results are too good.

He Tiantian chuckled, saying, "It’s okay. I did everything according to the team’s requirements. It won’t be a problem. It’s you who shouldn’t worry; I see you sweating nervously."

Three gold medals, just thinking about it is thrilling!

"Hehe, right, no worries. Teacher He knows her stuff and isn’t like those two fools," Zhu Zhitao whispered. "Our results are genuinely valid."

He Tiantian followed Xiao Hu, a Huaxia Country staff member, and the commitee’s inspectors to collect the urine samples for testing.

Huo Yingjie, worried about sabotage, tracked the whole process.

The analysis results were all negative the next day, confirming the validity of the results.

He Tiantian earned three gold medals, which were celebrated by Coach Wu, Zhu Zhitao, and others.

Now, He Tiantian’s achievements represented the swim team’s success and were exceptionally eye-catching.

With people like Xie Feifei and Xi Rongrong also performing well—though not winning gold but securing silver and bronze—there was much rejoicing.

He Tiantian still had five races to go, with three finals today.

The accusations from yesterday proved futile, showcasing to the world that Country H’s Swimming Barbie wasn’t relying on stimulants.

Today, they looked at He Tiantian with admiration.

Korea also had swimmers participating today, including a female athlete making it to the butterfly stroke hundred meter final.
