The referee's face also showed a look of surprise. Song Haoyu, known as the Swimming Prince at Huadu University, unexpectedly encountered physical issues just as the competition was about to start. What a pity!
Concerned, the referee asked Song Haoyu, "Song Haoyu, do you need me to have someone take you to the school doctor?"
Song Haoyu quickly replied, "No need, teacher. I'll be fine after a short rest."
The referee looked at Song Haoyu, finding it somewhat strange yet unable to pinpoint exactly what was odd, but refrained from saying more.
Then, he turned his attention back to the contestants by the pool and loudly announced, "Competitors, prepare!"
He picked up the whistle and put it in his mouth, and a sharp whistle pierced the air.
The contestants leaped from their platforms into the pool, splashing water as they began swimming fiercely forward on their respective lanes.
