In other words, in this Olympic battlefield full of gunpowder and passion, there is a team that not only has to cut the waves in the water, but also has to deal with the eyes from all directions - especially those with magnifying glasses.
That's right, we're talking about our Chinese swimmers.
Recently, former NBA star and current IOC member Pau Gasol stood up to speak out, and his words contained both helplessness about reality and expectations for the future.
Brother Gasol revealed a little secret at the press conference: the members of the Chinese swimming team are the most "lucky" people in the world! They have received two to three times more doping tests than others, and they are simply model workers in the testing industry.
This kind of treatment, in other words, everyone has to sigh: this is sour, whoever tries it knows!
Having said that, Gasol, who used to dominate the basketball court, is now a member of the International Olympic Committee, and naturally wants to uphold the fairness and justice of sports.
He said: "Every time we have a meeting, the doping scandal of the Chinese swimming team in 2021 is always turned over, and although the past is over, we still have to make sure that the WADA procedures are okay."
In other words, this big guy is also a sincere person, and directly expressed his views on this kind of high-frequency detection: "Let's not say that this matter is completely correct, after all, the test results did not find any problems."
I think everyone should learn more about WADA's work and respect their authority.
Of course, we can't forget the complaint of Gao Min, the queen of diving, who bluntly said on social media that this kind of high-intensity testing is simply adding to the blockage of the Chinese swimming team and affecting the normal training and competition status of the athletes.
As soon as these words came out, they immediately caused a lot of repercussions.
Gasol also expressed his regret for the situation and thanked the Chinese swimmers for their active cooperation.
You must know that such an attitude is not only a physical challenge for athletes, but also a psychological test.
In this age of information explosion, the truth is often more bizarre than fiction.
For the Chinese swimming team, they not only have to prove their strength, but also have to withstand additional pressure.
But then again, no matter what the outside world says, the important thing is to keep the original intention and move on.
Finally, let's cheer for the Chinese swimming team! No matter what kind of difficulties you encounter, as long as you have light in your heart, there are infinite possibilities ahead.
After all, the real strong have always grown up in adversity!
