"Your son will be better than Xiao Sun in the future." Shen Qing said with a smile.

"That's different." My mother seemed to really like Sun Yang and said.

Such an answer immediately caused a burst of hearty laughter from the people present.

After seeing off the visiting County Mayor Zhang and his party, Tang Hao had another new year plan. Considering that the Olympic Games setting is 70 meters, it is not too challenging for him. In the next year, boxing and swimming will be his main events, especially swimming. On the one hand, it is just starting out, and on the other hand, next year's World Swimming Championships will also be quite critical.

He called Qin Hailong and Tian Zhenzhe immediately and told him that he was going to join the provincial swimming team. The two coaches had already understood his ability after experiencing the Asian Games. Apart from reminding him to maintain a competitive level, they didn't say anything.

Now it seems that the best reason for him to say that he was a sports versatile person.

After watching the Spring Festival Gala with his parents, he ate and drank with relatives from all walks of life. Before leaving home, he went to the temple with his parents to ask for peace and happiness, and then he embarked on a journey north again.

This time he was going to the swimming team first.

Sports are all-encompassing, but many sports are actually linked to money. This is why most of the top athletes in gymnastics and weightlifting come from relatively ordinary provinces, while the top athletes in fencing, swimming, and equestrian are from economically developed provinces.

As a swimming that requires extremely high venues, it is one of the most expensive sports in these events.

As one of the most economically developed provinces, Eastern Zhejiang Province has absolutely dominant swimming skills in China.

Zhang Lin, Liu Zige, Jiao Liuyang, and Ye Shiwen and Sun Yang who have achieved certain results are all contestants in eastern Zhejiang Province.

In other words, although Tang Hao was personally invited by Shen Qing to join the provincial team, if he wants to gain a foothold in the provincial team, or even represent the provincial team, he has to speak with his own strength.

After all, although I have met people like Pan Yu before, in competitive sports, strength is what determines the right to speak.

Tang Hao's arrival soon attracted a burst of excitement from the provincial swimming team members. They had seen Tang Hao's performance at the Asian Games, and now they looked completely admiring.

However, when Shen Qing introduced that Tang Hao was here to join the swimming team, the players' reactions were different.

Sun Yang, Ye Shiwen, and Liu Zige, the people who took photos with him at the Asian Games, were full of expectations, while some other players who were not very good at the provincial team were worried, fearing that Tang Hao would take their position away.

After experiencing so many experiences in his previous life, he had long taken these reactions lightly. After smiling and greeting the team members and introducing himself, he became a member of the swimming team.

After introducing Tang Hao into the team, Shen Qing then announced a very important thing to the team members.

The 2011 World Swimming Championships was held in Shanghai, which is a home game for Chinese players. However, if you want to get a ticket to the World Championships, your results must reach a certain level.

In order to select players to participate in the World Championships, the country will hold a national swimming championship in April.

Swimming is different from the archery and boxing that Tang Hao had participated in before. If you want to participate in the World Championships, you can not only win the championship, but also need to meet the A-level requirements specified in the World Championships.

According to the rules, within a limited time, if no less than two athletes in a country or region achieve the A-level score in a event, they can obtain two full-time World Championships seats in the corresponding event; if only one person reaches the B-level, only one person can participate in the competition.

For example, the 50-meter freestyle that Tang Hao had swam before was 22.35 seconds. Before that, no Chinese could be selected. At the just-concluded Incheon Asian Games, Lu Zhibin's 22.37 seconds was already the closest player to this result.

Because achieving the a and b standards is to be won in competitions recognized by FINA, it is particularly important to be the only championship in China before the World Championships.

This is also the reason why Shen Qing emphasized so much.

"There are 5 players in our team in the last World Championships. Whether there will be a breakthrough this year is all up to you!" Shen Qing said the last sentence and waved to Tang Hao, signaling him to go to the office with him.

Shen Qing's preferential treatment to Tang Hao attracted envious eyes from Sun Yang and the others, and also attracted jealous eyes from many people.

Following Shen Qing into the office, Tang Hao also looked suspicious, not knowing what he was going to say to him.

"Come on, sit down." Shen Qing was quite polite to Tang Hao, and said with a smile after coming in.

After Tang Hao thanked him, he sat opposite Shen Qing.

"Call you here mainly to ask what project you are focusing on." Shen Qing also said directly, after sitting down.

"I heard Tian Yang say that the 50-meter freestyle is very strong. If this is your main event, I will report this for you in this year's championship." Shen Qing said with a little excitement.

Because of the natural disadvantage of explosive power of yellow people, they are born with racial disadvantages in short-distance events. In men's long-distance, there is a rising star Sun Yang in the provincial team, but in short-distance, the talents are almost blank. This is why after learning about Tang Hao's strength, he invited Deputy Director Gao to visit the door himself. That is 50 meters, an absolute treasure.

"That..." Tang Hao smiled embarrassedly, and then said, "Is there any restrictions on registration?"

"Yes, but according to your previous performance in the city team, the 50-meter A-level standard in the championship game is absolutely fine," Shen Qing added.

There are A-marks in the World Championships, and the National Championships are the same, and there are also A-marks thresholds. However, because the domestic swimming level is relatively low, the gap between the two A-marks is very obvious. Take 50 meters for example, A-marks only need to reach 23 seconds and 55 seconds, which is more than 1 second more than the World Championships.

"This way, but I have missed the provincial team selection match. Is it too late to register?"

"No, just ask the national referee to the scene and test it directly in the venue." Shen Qing explained directly.

"Oh~" Tang Hao looked like he suddenly realized. After all, national competitions were not world-class competitions, and the requirements were not that strict. He then said, "In this case, can you participate in the championship competition A-grade, no matter how many events?"

"Of course, as long as you meet the A-level standard, you can participate in the competition, no matter how many... wait!" Shen Qing was halfway through his speech, and suddenly realized something was wrong, and then looked at Tang Hao in surprise, "What do you mean?"

"Didn't you just say that as long as you meet the standards, I was thinking, I seem to be able to meet the standards in many projects. Can I participate in multiple projects together?" Tang Hao said embarrassedly. Just now, he suddenly realized that the physical system decided to win honor points based on the number of champions. Although swimming is a sport, there are many events. If he participates all of them, can he get many honor points?
