Both of them had no events scheduled for today, so they took the initiative to offer help in taking care of Kang Li’s family and friends in the spectator stands.
Cai Xiufen: "You go on with your things, Mom knows."
Xiao Ming Wei: "Mom, I got it, if I need to go to the bathroom, I’ll tell Grandma, then ask Auntie Han to take and Grandma."
Having taken their seats in the stands, Kang Li introduced Qi Xiaochuan and Han Xia to Cai Xiufen and the others.
Milk Bun Ming Han: "Mom, I’ll listen to Grandma and big cousin, I won’t run around, so you can rest assured."
Min Rui: "Mom, you can focus on the competition, I won’t wander off."
"Okay."
With a smile and a nod, Kang Li turned her gaze towards Feng Yi and Mo Yan as she was about to leave: "Then you guys sit, I’m going to be busy." The two nodded and watched Kang Li walk away.
The final matches for the two events were respectively scheduled for noon and afternoon, and now, there was less than an hour before the noon finals.
"Xiao Kang, how are your preparations?"
Coach Wang asked Kang Li with a smile.
However, before Kang Li could answer, a teammate chid in: "Coach, you don’t really need to ask Kang Li that. Does she even need to prepare? She can just step on the field and bring you the gold dal."
This teammate was nad Zhao Fang, a weightlifter who had previously won a gold dal in an overseas competition.
Not tall, she had a stocky build that was apparent at a glance.
She had a straightforward personality but was also simple and sincere, very warm to other people.
Without waiting for Coach Wang to respond, Zhao Fang asked the other teammates: "Guys, am I right or what?"
"You bet!"
The rest of the athletes collectively agreed.
Kang Li responded with a sowhat helpless smile: "Why wouldn’t I need to prepare? I’m just like everyone else, with the sa nose, mouth, and two eyes, nothing special about !"
"How are you not special? Every ti you compete, it’s like you’re taking a stroll in a flower garden, so casual and effortless. Unlike the rest of us, who are so nervous we’re afraid of making mistakes on the field.
Plus, you break records effortlessly, and we’re talking world records here, sothing the rest of us can’t even co close to!"
"You exaggerate," Kang Li said, her smile modest: "If I have good results, it’s actually all thanks to the encouragent and motivation from everyone."
Zhao Fang burst into laughter: "You sure have a way with words, you little miss!"
Zhao Fang, being twenty-four this year and looking quite mature, would call Kang Li "little miss" whenever she was in high spirits upon seeing such a fresh-faced and amiable young beauty. Kang Li didn’t mind at all; she was just happy to go along with what made everyone cheerful.
"Alright, those who have events in the afternoon, either warm up or calm your minds. Stop the chit-chat." Coach Wang clapped his hands, and the next mont, Zhao Fang and the others imdiately shut their mouths, ceasing their horseplay.
"You’re about to go on soon."
That was Coach Wang’s voice, standing next to Kang Li.
"Mhm."
Kang Li nodded.
Coach Wang said with a smile: "Actually, what Zhao Fang said was true, with your ability to adapt on the spot, you don’t need to prepare in advance."
Kang Li: "I know you an well, Coach. As for the adaptability you ntioned, it’s just that I’m more composed, after all. I just think about performing to the best of my ability, and with that mindset, there’s nothing to be nervous about."
"That’s a really steady mindset. If only everyone could be like you!"
Coach Wang exclaid.
"Everyone’s doing great."
