I was scrolling through my WeChat moments when a photo stopped me – Wu Qingfeng standing on the podium, that gold medal hanging around her neck, her smile so bright it could probably light up the entire swimming pool. The caption said she’d just won the women’s 50m freestyle at the National Games with 24.21 seconds, her second gold medal this tournament.
You know what hit me? The smell of chlorine. Seriously. That distinct swimming pool smell suddenly flooded back like I was 16 again, standing by our school’s pool in Shanghai, watching the water ripple under the afternoon sun.
I used to swim competitively in high school – nothing fancy, just our district-level competitions. But I remember that feeling when you touch the wall and turn to check the timing board. That mix of exhaustion and anticipation. Wu’s 24.21 seconds – that’s faster than my personal best ever was, and I thought I was pretty decent back then.
What really got me was reading the comments under that post. Someone wrote: ‘I tried to watch the live stream from Vancouver but it kept buffering. Ended up seeing the results three hours later.’ Another commented: ‘The regional restrictions are killing me! I just want to watch our athletes win without jumping through hoops.’
It’s funny how technology connects us yet keeps us apart. Here I am in Toronto, able to video call my parents in real time, but when it comes to watching a swimming competition from home, suddenly there’s this digital wall in the way.
I remember my coach used to say swimming is about rhythm – finding your pace and sticking to it. These days, trying to watch sports from back home feels like someone keeps interrupting that rhythm with constant ‘this content is not available in your region’ messages.
Maybe that’s why Wu Qingfeng’s photo hit me so hard. It wasn’t just about the achievement – it was about wanting to be part of that moment, to feel that national pride without the digital barriers. That feeling when you see one of your own making waves, literally and figuratively.
Anyway, seeing Wu’s victory made me realize how much I miss watching these moments as they happen, not hours later through screenshots and secondhand accounts. There’s something special about hearing the crowd roar in real time, even if it’s through a screen.
