"Get ready," the judge ordered.
All the contestants stood on the platform. As the judge's gun sounded, ten contestants jumped into the water at the same time.
Grint saw Eveleigh. Eveleigh was in the sixth lane. She was the fastest.
Grint was a long-distance runner, so he had some understanding of mid-distance and long-distance swimming.
Mid-distance swimming was similar to long-distance running. They both needed tactics.
One couldn't swim too fast at the beginning. Otherwise, they might fall behind in the second half of the race.
However, Eveleigh was too fast. It was obviously not suitable for a regular long-distance swimming race.
Soon, Eveleigh was at least ten meters away from the other contestants. She was at least three seconds faster at the first 50-meter turn. Then, she was another ten seconds faster at the second turn.
The judges were also watching the race. Since it was a semi-regular race, there was an electronic timer.
"The girl in the sixth lane used 26 seconds to swim 50 meters. That's sprinting speed. If she races like this, she'll lose the stamina for sprinting later on."
"How did her coach arrange it? This is how amateurs race. Sprinting at the beginning and then running until she runs out of energy. "
"Could it be some kind of tactic?"
"How could there be such a tactic? Swimming has been developing for so many years, and almost all tactics have been developed. In the early days, there were also sprinting at the start of the race to widen the distance between the other swimmers. However, this tactic has always failed. This means that exerting strength at the start is not in line with the rhythm of the 800m freestyle race."
"The first 50 meters was 26 seconds, and the turn was 1.1 seconds. The second 50 meters was 27.45 seconds, and the turn was 0.99 seconds. The third 50 meters was 27.35 seconds … She's already swum 400 meters and she's still maintaining this speed."
"Her stamina is so good. She can actually maintain such a fast speed."
By then, Eveleigh had already pulled away from the other contestants by at least 50 meters.
"She's slowing down. She used 31 seconds to go from 500 to 550 meters."
"If her tactics are right, she definitely has a chance to win. She might even get a good result."
700 meters —
"Huh? She sped up again. So fast!"
She's sprinting again. "
"She still has the energy to sprint?"
"How is that possible? Her stamina is so good? "
Finally, Eveleigh was the first to get to the main point.
The judges all stood up and stared at Eveleigh in disbelief.
However, the results on the electronic screen did not come out for a long time because they could not believe their eyes.
Eveleigh also looked at the screen, waiting for the result.
Finally, after waiting for more than ten seconds, the results were displayed on the screen.
7: 59.89!
There was an uproar at the scene.
"This is fake, right?"
"This is impossible. How could such a thing happen?"
"Is this a good result?" someone asked.
"Are you an idiot? Do you know what the world record is? "
"How much?"
"8 minutes 11 seconds."
"If this result is true, then this girl has created a miracle. She is the first woman to swim the 800m freestyle for eight minutes. She beat the world record by 11 seconds!"
About 40 seconds later, the second contestant finally arrived. When she saw her result on the screen, she was also shocked. She looked at Eveleigh.
Eveleigh also stared at the screen in shock. She could not believe that she could achieve such a result.
This was too unbelievable.
How could she achieve such a result?
Was it real?
She, an amateur, achieved a world record?
…
Grint stared at the result in a daze, disbelief written all over his face.
This was the result of that person's training?
In just ten days, he had managed to nurture a world record holder?
Apart from shock, Grint's mind went blank.
If he had found him, if he had agreed to Eveleigh's conditions …
Would he have achieved the same shocking result as her?
Just then, the judges announced that the result was valid.
Although this was not even a national competition and could not be recognized by the International Swimming Federation, it did not stop the result from being revealed.
After all, it was a result that shocked the entire swimming world.
As soon as Eveleigh got out of the water, the judges and the school came to find her.
"Ms. Eveleigh, we need to do a urine and blood test on you. Are you free?"
"Yes, okay." Eveleigh also wanted to know if she had eaten something illegal to achieve such a terrifying result.
The results of the urine test came out quickly. It was completely normal. Nothing was over the limit.
Of course, the initial test was simple. More detailed tests had to be sent to a specialized lab.
Soon, everyone at UCLA knew that a new world record had appeared in the swimming pool.
When Eveleigh stood on the podium, she felt like she was standing on the podium of the Olympics.
This also made her hesitate whether she should become a professional athlete or not.
"Eveleigh, can I have your autograph?"
"Eveleigh, take a picture with me."
"Eveleigh, I like you …"
"Eveleigh …"
Eveleigh finally walked through the crowd and found Chen Zhao.
"Chen, thank you."
"Not bad."
"Chen, continue to be my coach." Eveleigh looked at Chen Zhao.
"No."
"I'll pay."
Chen Zhao still shook his head. He had to find time to train Tiger now.
Therefore, it was impossible for him to spend a few hours every day training another person.
"Are you going to become a professional athlete?" Chen Zhao asked.
Eveleigh's family was very rich. After all, a family that could afford $200,000 was definitely not something a middle-class family could afford.
Of course, if she became an athlete, she could also achieve good results.
"I'm hesitating. What do you think?"
"Have you thought about what you'll do in the future?"
"Inherit the family business …" Eveleigh said.
"Okay, go be an athlete."
"Why?"
