It was not a gold medal, nor a world record broken, but a show of someones strong determination to win.The event was a swimming and started with only three men on the blocks. For one reason or another, two of them made mistake when they started, so they were kicked out. That would have been difficult enough, not having anyone to race against, even though the time on the clock is whats important.I watch the man jump into the water and knew right away that something was wrong. Now Im not an expert swimmer but I do know a good jump from a poor one, and this was not exactly medal quality. When he was swimming, the crowd started to laugh. Clearly this man was not a medal competitor.I listened to the crowd begin to laugh at this poor man that was clearly having a hard time. Finally he made his turn to start back. He tried his best, but clearly he was exhausted.But when they saw the man keeping on trying , they stopped laughing and beginning to cheer. Some even to stand and say: “Come , you can do it!” and “ Go for it！”A few minutes later ,this young man finally finished his race. The crowd went wild.

Earlier this month, Zheng and his classmates stood on the street with a box asking people for donations(捐款).
