Worried that she might get too complacent and proud, resulting in a drop in her performance, Zhang Shulin lectured her sternly right away, "Focus your attention and spend it all toward the event itself! Other than the event, everything else is only an illusion!"
Knowing that her coach had her best intentions at heart, Shi Guang smiled.
Beep! Beep!
The whistle sounded out as the judges stood up and went ahead and the swimmers moved up their diving platforms respectively, while cheers broke out among the spectators. Standing on her diving platform, Shi Guang looked at her own relatives and friends that were here to support her. She closed her eyes and took in a deep breath.
Bending down, her legs were positioned one before the other while her body arced into a powerful stance.
Focusing her attention, she moved her eyes toward the wavy surface of the waters, forcing herself to focus on it entirely.
