I was scrolling through my phone during lunch break when I saw the news – Xu Jiayu had just won his 13th National Games gold medal in the men’s 100m backstroke. The notification popped up with that familiar red banner, showing his winning time of 52.39 seconds. Something about seeing that number made me pause, my sandwich halfway to my mouth.
You know that feeling when a sports moment suddenly transports you back in time? For me, it was the smell of chlorine that hit me first – that sharp, clean scent that used to fill my nostrils every afternoon after school. I could almost feel the cool water against my skin and hear the echoey sounds of swimmers splashing in the pool.
Back in high school, I was on the swimming team too. Nothing fancy like the National Games, just our local city competitions. But I remember how we’d crowd around someone’s phone during breaks, trying to watch clips of athletes like Xu Jiayu. The video would buffer endlessly, sometimes showing that frustrating ‘This content is not available in your region’ message.
Seeing Xu’s victory today brought back all those memories. The way he dominated the 100m backstroke, with Wang Gukailai taking silver and Jiang Chenglin bronze – it reminded me of our own team dynamics. There was always that one swimmer who seemed to glide through water like it was air, while the rest of us struggled with our technique.
What really got me was realizing how many overseas Chinese friends must be missing these moments right now. My cousin in Canada messaged me last week saying she couldn’t watch the National Games opening ceremony because of geo-restrictions. She said it felt like being left out of a family reunion happening halfway across the world.
The comments under the post were filled with similar stories. One user wrote about trying to watch from Australia, only to get stuck with endless loading screens. Another mentioned staying up until 3 AM in Europe, hoping to catch a live stream that never quite worked properly.
It’s funny how sports can connect us across distances, yet technical barriers can make us feel so separated. That moment when Xu touched the wall and looked up at the timing board – that’s the kind of shared experience that should be accessible to every Chinese person, no matter where they are in the world.
As I finished my lunch, I thought about sending the clip to my swimming coach back home. He’d probably appreciate seeing another of Xu’s victories. Then I remembered – he’s retired now, living with his daughter in California. I wonder if he’s managed to watch any of the games from there.
