The class monitor continued to persuade, "The essence of the sports et is mass participation, after all. It's not necessarily about winning; the important thing is to take part."
Shi Li chose to refuse, asking, "Isn't there also a jump rope event? Our group can sign up for that."
She had heard the class monitor list the sports et events earlier, including a mixed jump rope competition with five boys and five girls. This event had a maximum individual score of 0.2 points, and Shi Li guessed that not many people would sign up for it.
Compared to the 400-ter mixed relay, Shi Li felt that a one-minute jump rope event would be less challenging. Even if training was required, it wouldn't take much effort. They could just spend a few minutes jumping rope on the playground during their free ti.
Unlike training for the mixed relay, which required daily running laps and team coordination practice.
Currently, only Song Ying and her desk mate had signed up for jump rope, so they were indeed short on people. This beca the class monitor's next project to promote.
Although no one wanted to participate in the mixed relay, at least the group jump rope event suddenly gained four more participants.
After Shi Li joined the jump rope team, the group of ten - five boys and five girls - was quickly assembled.
As for the 400-ter mixed relay that Shi Li had turned down, the class monitor had other ideas. After selecting the male and female athletes for the 400-ter race, he planned to have these four people practice the relay as well, killing two birds with one stone.
Next, the students who signed up for sports events were divided into several small groups based on the different event venues. Each group was led by a team leader responsible for selecting candidate athletes.
This team leader was not only in charge of selecting candidate athletes this ti but also responsible for training the group mbers until the sports et.
As uncontested jump rope athletes, Shi Li and her teammates didn't need to participate in the selection process.
The horoom teacher and other class officers each led a small team, taking their candidates to the gymnasium for training.
Shi Li, as the study representative, was also assigned a team.
Because of her jump rope event, Shi Li was ultimately assigned to fencing, shooting, and most importantly, jump rope.
The class monitor led the students who signed up for track and field events towards the rubber track, pondering how to persuade the 400-ter athletes to also participate in the mixed relay.
Of course, the jump rope athletes didn't need to be selected.
There weren't many students who signed up for fencing and shooting, as not everyone could afford to learn these expensive sports from a young age. Many people had never learned them because they couldn't bear the hardship, and Shi Li was one of them.
Because they were going out to select athletes, the entire class left the classroom.
It didn't matter whether everyone was participating in the selection or not; after all, who would miss out on free entertainnt?
Sports stimulate adrenaline, and even spectators could feel the excitent of rising adrenaline.
Of course, they had to go watch. Not only that, but they also wanted to watch the most exciting events.
The most thrilling one was undoubtedly swimming, where participants wore very little clothing.
In the face of muscular bodies, even Shi Li's charm beca insignificant.
Only the candidates and the other three mbers of Shi Li's group went with her to the fencing hall. The rest of the class followed the large crowd heading to the swimming pool. Shi Li cast an envious glance at them - who wouldn't want to watch?
For events with few sign-ups, the participants for the sports et were quickly selected.
Because the gaps between competitors were quite large, with the first place overwhelmingly defeating other contenders, there was no need to choose an alternate.
The athletes were quickly selected, and those who didn't make it weren't discouraged. Students who had signed up for other events checked the class group chat and rushed to the next venue, still in ti for other event selections.
Shi Li had a similar thought and checked the class group chat, only to find that the swimming athletes had already been selected.
Oh well, no fun there.
From that day on, High School Class 2-1 would regularly use the last self-study period of the afternoon for sports training on the field.
The ten people in Shi Li's event group would go outside with their jump ropes, bounce around for a few minutes, and then spend the rest of the ti watching their classmates train in fencing and shooting.
Not only did they watch other students train, but so even went to the nearby convenience store to buy popsicles. They ate the popsicles while watching their classmates train.
This infuriated the students being watched. While they were sweating profusely, the others were blatantly eating popsicles. It was too much.
After receiving complaints, the next day, they didn't eat popsicles anymore. Instead, each person hugged half a waterlon, smiling as they watched their classmates train on the field.
For the first few days of training, all ten people on the jump rope team maintained this carefree attitude.
As the sports et drew closer, Shi Li, the team leader, started to worry.
From the original few minutes, they now needed extra practice, every day.
Shi Li maliciously looked up training thods online. On the first day of extra practice, everyone's legs turned to noodles, wobbling as they walked. Only Fu Huixing was slightly better, still able to walk normally.
On the way back to the classroom, Shi Li instructed everyone to use a fascia gun at ho or have their housekeepers massage their leg muscles to ensure they could train normally the next day.
Shi Li had chosen jump rope to slack off, but being made the team leader changed the aning of this task.
She had to live up to the horoom teacher's trust and couldn't continue to be perfunctory.
This was hard on her teammates, suddenly transitioning from a retirent ho mode to a national team mode. The gap was indeed quite large.
The students who were previously watched while eating popsicles, waterlon, and milk tea were now the ones being watched.
This is what you call karmic retribution.
Looking at the classmates sitting not far away, one hand holding waterlon, the other holding a popsicle, with iced milk tea at their feet, the unfortunate jump rope team mbers thought bitterly, "Eating so much cold food at once, aren't they afraid of getting diarrhea tomorrow?"
Soone couldn't hold back and loudly complained to Shi Li, "Team leader, to ensure we can train on ti, athletes should maintain a healthy diet and not eat too many cold foods at once. Of course, I don't an anything else by this. I'm thinking of our class, hoping that every student can successfully participate in the sports et and bring glory to our class."
The crowd with a mouthful of waterlon, a lick of popsicle, and a sip of milk tea thought: What a despicable person!
Although no one was boiling water, there was already a strong sll of tea in the air.
