Chapter 75: Coach, national flag!
Cao Quanli ran over excitedly holding a stack of papers.
This was the first time the team members saw Cao Quanli so cheerful.
"The top five! The top five are all from China!" Cao Quanli said excitedly.
Hearing Cao Quanli's words, the team members screamed loudly.
"I said we would take the top five! Hehe, now you know I'm not bragging!" Luo Wenkun said with a smile.
Although such a result was somewhat unexpected for Huaxia Wujing, it was actually reasonable.
After all, the attitude of the coaches and players of the China Sports Team towards IPhO and the efforts they put into training are unmatched by other countries.
Such a result is a natural outcome.
At this time, some team members were laughing and some were crying.
Even if I cry, they are tears of joy that come from the rewards of my hard work.
Xu You didn't laugh or cry because of this, but he was also very excited.
Finally, I received a great honor representing the country.
"I'm just wondering, aren't you curious about who won first place?"
Cao Quanli was a little confused. If it were in the past, everyone would immediately ask about their ranking.
But this time, after knowing that China took the top five places, no one asked about each person's specific ranking.
"Coach, if you asked who the second place was, I would be interested in guessing. As for the first place, I think there will be no suspense either." Luo Wenkun said with a sneer.
Cao Quanli also smiled when he heard this.
Yes, there is really no suspense.
After that, Cao Quanli distributed detailed report cards to everyone.
With full marks in both theory and experiment, Xu You won the first place without any suspense and became the absolute winner of this IPhO.
Lin Shi followed closely behind and won the second place in the overall score.
At the award ceremony, the five members of the Chinese team all wore the heavy IPhO gold medals.
Among all the more than 400 contestants, only the top 8% can win gold medals.
This is the 11th consecutive year that all members of the Chinese Physical Education National Team have won gold medals.
Xu You not only won the special award for absolute winner, but also won three individual awards including the Best Theory Award and the Best Experiment Award.
Lin Shi won the award for Best Female Player.
In fact, before this, Lin Shi had never really liked this award set up specifically for girls.
In this kind of brain competition, Lin Shi doesn't think that he is worse than other boys.
But if Xu You is the first place, then it’s a different story.
After all, in their eyes, Xu You no longer belongs to the category of human beings.
After the team members put on their gold medals, they entered the photo session.
"Coach, flag!"
At this time, Xu You reminded the coaching staff and handed the national flag to them.
In the IPhO competition, because according to the regulations, it is an individual competition, there is no such thing as a group award.
But after the game, everyone will add up the scores of all the players from each country and make a ranking.
This is the so-called overall team ranking.
This is also the best reflection of a country's physical competitive strength.
Hearing Xu You's words, the team leader quickly found the national flag and handed it to Xu You and others.
Xu You stood in the middle and, together with other team members, unfolded the bright five-star red flag.
The bright five-star red flag looks particularly dazzling in the venue.
“After more than half a year of hard work, we finally did it!”
Although the process is difficult, it is all worth it.
The Chinese National Sports Team once again defended their honor with absolute advantage.
After China, the Soviet Union, South Korea, and the United States ranked second to fourth in the overall score.
…
On the plane back, everyone was in a good mood and talked about various interesting things that happened during the competition.
"Remember that girl from Nan Gaoli? She talked to Lin Shi for a long time when they were exchanging gifts. When she saw Lin Shi's trophy during the award ceremony , she burst into tears."
"Haha, even though she also won a silver medal, she definitely didn't cry out of joy, she definitely cried out of anger."
"Okay, okay, it's not easy for a girl to win a silver medal. I like the gift she gave me very much, and I will definitely keep it."
While exchanging gifts, the female player from South Korea saw that there was also a female player from China, and she happily talked to Lin Shi for a long time.
The English was spoken with a strong South Korean accent, mixed with various "smecta", and Lin Shi could only understand the general idea.
The general meaning is that all of us girls who can enter IPhO are very talented, and physics is not something that only boys can learn well.
Originally, the female contestant from South Korea thought that her level was similar to Lin Shi's and that she could compete with Lin Shi for the position of the best female contestant.
But after the scores came out, she realized how big the gap was between her and Lin Shi.
Compared with Lin Shi’s gold medal and second place result, her mentality suddenly collapsed and she burst into tears on the field.
While everyone was chatting and laughing on the plane, they didn't know that the news that they had won the top five places and won first place in the team total score had already spread on the Internet.
In fact, this is not the first time that the Chinese Physics Team has taken the top five places in IPhO.
The annual International Olympiad for High School Students is not something that attracts much attention in China.
However, what Xu You shouted before taking the photo, "Coach, national flag", became a focus of netizens' attention.
After fermentation, this news gradually became a hot topic on various online platforms.
"They took all the top five places! Our Chinese physical competition is so awesome!"
"He's good at studying and handsome, this is my ideal academic master, right?"
"Within three minutes, I want to know all the information about the boy in the middle!"
"When I received such a high personal honor, the first thing I thought of was to ask my coach for the national flag. It was so touching!"
After returning to Jijing, the team members were all commended by the school.
Although the IPhO Gold Medal itself does not come with any prize money.
But the school still provides a generous scholarship for everyone.
Shengcheng No. 4 Middle School did not forget its previous promise to Xu You, and reissued the bonus for Xu You to join the national team and win the IPhO championship.
The combined bonuses allowed Xu You’s savings to exceed 100,000 yuan.
Although it is not too much, it is enough to cover the expenses for four years of college.
However, Xu You did not indulge in the joy of various IPhO honors.
Xu You knew very well that a country’s physics competition results could not be directly equated with its physics level.
IPhO is just a student competition.
What is more important is the real scientific research strength.
Xu You didn't have time to rest for the whole day and went straight back to the laboratory.
"Damn it, Xu You, didn't you just return home yesterday? Why are you here in the lab today?"
After seeing Xu You, Zhao Weijia couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Well, Senior Brother, I still have a lot of ideas from previous experiments that I haven't implemented yet. I have to hurry up before school starts."
