Went to cra to host the "continuous course" in the morning ( I am a participant, too, haha) and then went to cityu to watch the Inter-U swimming competition.
PolyU was going just TOO fine. Over these years, I never saw Mrs Ngai looked so calm and confident in this event. Before she would be tensed till the end, but this year she just looked so calm. PolyU Boys led the others by 20 or something. Though the Girls lagged behind the first, the situation was certainly in control. As expected, we won the Overall Champ (for two straight years).
But I think everyone of us, will never forget that event, cos it was near perfect, but something just made it not totally perfect. In the Boys 4x50m freestyle relay, it was such an exciting event. Even we lagged behind at the first and second lap, we finally crawled back and won the first at last. We all cheered! We won, isn't it just perfect? But just at this moment, a bad news came. We were disqualified because one of us jumped into the pool to celebrate.... before the event was completely finished. That's why we were disqualified.
What we got were an Overall champ, a lesson, and a problem. The lesson is actually simple: don't be overwhelmed too much unless it was really certain, cos there was really such a rule, though no one may remember and no one will think they will violate it carelessly.
The problem is, how to handle the situation, how to stand down the situation. I think someone is still unable to get control of the team. I just wonder if the coach can control the team, as the team contains more and more athletes having strong swimming background. If it 's possible, then how?
