But if she performed normally, she might tie with Di Xiaxia or even surpass her.
Even a mere 0.01 point means victory.
With her superior technique and extraordinary talent, she could easily score 99.96 or even higher.
At that moment, Di Xiaxia was also extremely nervous and couldn’t help but whisper to Di Mingzhe, "Big brother, this Belinda is amazing. In one of the recent extreme sliding competitions, she scored 99.965, and no one has broken her record yet. I think I might end up being the runner-up."
"Really?" Di Mingzhe raised his eyebrows, as he hadn’t heard Di Xiaxia mention this before.
"It’s okay." He patted Di Xiaxia’s hand reassuringly. "That was then, this is now. It doesn’t mean it will happen every time. A good athlete needs to perform consistently and sometimes exceptionally. I don’t think you’ll necessarily be worse than her this time.
99.965 is history now, and besides, extreme sliding wasn’t even considered an official sport back then, so those records don’t really count. Now that it’s been included in official competitions, previous records like those will be wiped clean. Everything is based on current performance.
Moreover, you’ve already performed really well. How others perform is their business. Everyone here is a top athlete from their country. Being a runner-up is also quite impressive, so don’t worry too much. Just knowing you participated and gave it your all is enough.
No matter what position you finish in, it’s a result of your skill. And remember, no matter how high others score, in my heart, you are always the champion."
Di Mingzhe then looked at her, his deep eyes filled with unwavering affection, and slowly moved his hand to her lower abdomen. "You’re pregnant, you know. A pregnant woman competing in this is already beyond normal courage. So, don’t worry about the results."
"Okay." Di Xiaxia nodded, realizing that there was little she could do to control it anyway.
Belinda was truly impressive, enormously so, and she had been in the extreme sliding scene longer than Xiaxia, who regarded her as a senior.
Thus, losing to Belinda wasn’t a surprise to her.
Securing the runner-up position was beyond her expectations since she performed much better than in her practices.
