看完这篇日志，就能感觉到Ryan是个多么可爱的家伙！
第一次看Ryan的比赛是上届的世锦赛。他跟在菲尔普斯的身后，戴着它那副闪闪发亮的牙套，笑得傻乎乎的。
或许我总是喜欢在别人光芒笼罩下默默无闻的孩子。
就像我开始喜欢ANDY的时候，有费德勒。我开始喜欢NINO的时候，有劳尔。
他们可能有些生不逢时的悲哀，但都是可爱的孩子们。没有过分冠冕堂皇，透露的总是自己安然的小细节。当我在人海中找到他们的时候，会有不可比拟的成就感。
现在，看着NINO这么火，我就老是想起以前他在马竞的那些日子。我可能等半年都找不到杂志上有他的边角新闻。偶尔的一两篇报道，还不忘挖苦一下这个“金童”，批评一下他的技术含量～呵呵，不过现在，看着媒体们的可笑转变，我想啊NINO和卡卡梅西之流不一样。他不是风口浪尖被奉为绝世天才的少年。就是一点点才华，一点点幸运，还有完完整整的成长。
Ryan在美国游泳队里，绝对只是Phelps的陪衬～银牌又怎样。冠军只有一个。神童也只有一个。镜头也只能对准那一张脸啊……
记得我是怎么记得他的——他的牙套。呵呵。没见过牙套戴得那么可爱的家伙啊。
后来提起，有人讲了一个故事——
一天，Ryan拿回家一个盒子，说：“dad,看这个！”他打开盒子，里面是一个牙套，闪闪发亮的。他父亲以为他会在一些party或者周末晚会上用。 在200M颁奖礼上，Ryan走到出来，Phelps站在领奖台前狂笑。他父亲想，Michael在笑什么？Ryan给了个灿烂的微笑……“哦！我的天啊，哈哈！”他父亲有些忧虑，他认为这关系到形象。原来Ryan只是想搞笑一下，同时铭记自己在200M,400M中获得银牌…
那个时候，这孩子跳着冲到看台边，和观众握手签名抛飞吻。迈克尔停下来安静等着他，向他欢快的背影投去微笑，于是镜头停下来，转过去，就看到他了，就记住他了。那个时候，就明白了，这两个人是多好的朋友。总觉得迈克尔是个寂寞又内向的人吧，可是他和Ryan在一起总是在讲话，总是在笑，甚至和Ryan一起玩滑稽的牙套游戏。在这个自己独孤求败的时代，他拥有这样一个在身边追逐他的人，或许他也是感恩的。
Ryan追赶得有些辛酸。看着他，就像看着ANDY追着牛跑啊跑。那么像啊。
寻找Micheal的报道里偶尔会有的一点Ryan的巴边新闻我觉得超级有乐趣～中国的媒体啊怎么说呢，估计都不知道这个人吧，所以我省心很多～哈
这孩子这样就很可爱了。这次的奥运会，想看到他继续追赶着Micheal，在转瞬即逝的碧波中，绽放最灿烂的笑容！！
Ryan语录“
——“It is perfect and I feel excited.It is my first world record in
this championship.What is special is the atmosphere here is so good
and I like the pool.The competition is hard but it is a great push
tome.”
——“Hopefully how the US did tonight will hype up everyone else and it will improve for tomorrow and Sunday.We'll see what happens.”
——“It put me into a better racing dynamic.”
——“It feels great.I had my family,my team,everyone supporting
me.”
——“The biggest thing I'll miss is being part of the team.”
——“I'm just going to go out there and try to win the race.When
you go out there trying to go for a record,you're usually not going
to get it.”
——“I knew he was here tonight.I tapped him in the gut when I was
walking over to the starting blocks.”
——“We had our minds set on it all year.I'm glad I could go out
and accomplish these goals.”
——“I've been training really hard this year,more than any other
year.My mind was set on it,and after the first one,I just kept
feeding off of it.”
——“I tapped him in the gut when I was walking over to the starting
blocks.I'm just going to feed off this the rest of the meet because
what I swam tonight was pretty fast for me.” | |
