Episode 30 recap: Zhejiang Province Wins Relay Race, Zhou Yu Takes Individual Race Championship.
Zhou Yu refused to rest even though it was late at night and couldn't stop thinking about the competition. Gao Feng went to comfort Zhou Yu and advised him to relax. While being comforted by Gao Feng, Zhou Yu repeatedly expressed his confidence that they would win this competition. Wu Hao, while taking a shower, felt pain in his old injury. He dared not tell anyone and secretly examined his condition.
The day of the finals arrived. Wang Ji Fei confidently faced the media, stating that with his participation, the championship would undoubtedly be his. Gu Li returned to the country and, after interviewing Wang Ji Fei, saw Gao Feng and went to cheer him on, promising to interview them afterward.
Wu Hao's old injury resurfaced, but he insisted on participating in the competition. The team doctor could only administer a local anesthetic injection to help Wu Hao get through the competition. However, this had a significant impact on Wu Hao's injury. Gu Luo advised Wu Hao to think carefully before making a decision. Despite this, Wu Hao persisted in participating in the final match, and Gu Luo and the others could only support him as he received the injection and entered the competition.
After the team members entered the venue, Liang You Guang noticed that Wang Ji Fei was indeed assigned the anchor position, and he praised Gu Luo for his exceptional foresight. Wu Hao swam the first leg, successfully completing the task despite his shoulder injury. Soon, Zhou Yu took the fourth leg, a moment that made everyone extremely nervous because it was the final showdown between Zhou Yu and Wang Ji Fei.
Everyone spontaneously stood up in the audience stands and cheered for Zhou Yu, leading the Zhejiang Province team to win their first championship. After the competition, Liu Hai Bo sincerely congratulated the Zhejiang Province team and looked forward to their next encounter. Wang Ji Fei also extended his friendship, mentioning that he had watched Zhou Yu's father's competitions when he was young, which made him realize the vitality and tension of swimming, and that was one of the reasons he paid attention to Zhou Yu.
Liang You Guang and the others went to the locker room, celebrating the victory with the team members. Wu Hao, filled with excitement, expressed his gratitude to the coaches because it was his last professional competition. Wu Hao requested Gu Luo and Liang You Guang to go on stage together to receive the award, but they refused.
After celebrating in the locker room, Zhou Yu and the coaches went out for a big meal to celebrate. It was a small but meaningful celebration because it was the first time in eight years that they won the relay race championship. Hao Di and others gave encouraging and congratulatory speeches, expressing gratitude for the efforts made by the team members and enjoying the meal.
When everyone raised their glasses in joy, Wu Hao felt very uncomfortable. He wanted to go out and rest for a while but almost fainted at the door. Gu Luo and the others immediately took Wu Hao to the hospital, while Zhou Yu anxiously waited at the hotel for the news from Gu Luo.
Wu Hao underwent surgery, and after the operation, he informed everyone that he was safe. He also gave words of encouragement to each person, urging them to continue supporting the team in the upcoming competitions.
Wu Hao was fine, so Liang You Guang told everyone to go back and rest, preparing for the upcoming competition with peace of mind.
The next round of competition began, and Gu Luo and the others cheered on the team members, encouraging them to give their best. Zhou Yu, before the competition, made a special phone call to Yu Min Yi to ask about the surgery. Yu Min Yi lied and said that the surgery would be next Wednesday, reassuring Zhou Yu to focus on the competition.
The individual qualifiers started, and Liang You Guang received a call from the hospital, learning that Yu Min Yi's condition had worsened and he needed immediate surgery.
After Yu Min Yi's surgery, he was directly transferred to the intensive care unit, and the hospital issued a critical condition notice. Liang You Guang and Gu Luo discussed and decided to tell Zhou Yu the truth. With only three hours left until the final of the 400-meter individual swimming event, Zhou Yu learned that Yu Min Yi was in the ICU and immediately rushed to the hospital to see him.
Zhou Yu placed the relay race gold medal on Yu Min Yi's bedside, hoping that Yu Min Yi would know the good news of him winning the gold medal and recover quickly. Liang Bing Bing stayed with Yu Min Yi in the hospital. After Zhou Yu told Yu Min Yi about the gold medal, he returned to the competition venue with Liang You Guang to participate in the final. This time, he was up against Wang Ji Fei, and it drew everyone's attention.
During the race, Zhou Yu and Wang Ji Fei were neck and neck. Zhou Yu caught up with Wang Ji Fei multiple times, only to be overtaken by him again. In the final 100 meters, everyone exerted all their strength, cheering for Zhou Yu and hoping he could defeat Wang Ji Fei.
Zhou Yu and Wang Ji Fei touched the wall almost simultaneously. Everyone anxiously waited for the screen to display the result. This time, Zhou Yu miraculously defeated Wang Ji Fei, causing everyone to cheer loudly and rejoice for Zhou Yu. After winning against Wang Ji Fei, Zhou Yu reminded him not to be discouraged, and Wang Ji Fei expressed that he felt relieved and acknowledged Zhou Yu as his best opponent.
After the competition, Zhou Yu returned home and received a letter from Yu Min Yi. It was a letter that Yu Min Yi had prepared for Zhou Yu before his surgery, hoping that he would continue to love swimming and that she would strive to recover and be able to watch Zhou Yu's performance in major competitions. Later, Wu Hao became a swimming coach, dedicating his strength to the swimming cause.
Gao Feng, at the moment he realized his love for swimming, reconciled with his father and overcame obstacles, bringing him more happiness. Hu Jing Tian declared that he would achieve a grand slam in the competitions. Although he may not succeed, his dedication in the competitions earned the trust and admiration of others.
Zhou Yu and Wang Ji Fei continued to maintain a relationship of competition and support. Striving is the essence of being an athlete, and the moment they step onto the competition stage is filled with a sense of mission. Zhou Yu felt fortunate to experience this journey and had no regrets. Zhou Yu was just 0.1 second away from representing the national team in the Asian Games. Liang You Guang reminded Zhou Yu that he was currently in a bottleneck period and asked if he still had the courage to continue working hard and strive for the next selection competition. Zhou Yu's choice was that he didn't want to stop.
