An hour swimming class with Chinese swimming star Fu Yuanhui (29) was auctioned and sold for about 19 million won.

According to Hong Kong media South China Morning Post, an auction of 'Pu Yuanhui's swimming lesson' was held on major online platforms in China on the 18th.

After a total of 19 fierce competitions, Luo Chiu Group, a high-tech company located in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, won the bid for 100,000 yuan (about 19 million won).




Successful bidders can enjoy not only an hour of swimming lessons learned directly from Fu Yuanhui, but also fan meetings such as commemorative photos and autograph sessions.

Swimming classes will be held on July 2 at a sports center in Hangzhou, with a total of no more than seven participants. Participating children are 6-12 years old, and can participate only if they have basic swimming skills.

Luo Chiu Group said it wanted to provide employees and their children with a special summer vacation experience"I hope that children will feel the joy of sports and get inspiration to move toward their dreams through Mr. Fu Yuanhui."




Proceeds from the auction will be donated to a public interest foundation run by the Zhejiang government.

Meanwhile, after finishing the 100m backstroke semi-final at the 2016 Rio Olympics, Fu Yuanhui said "I'm satisfied that I'm so fast. He rose to fame by saying, "I've used up all my ancient powers." She won the bronze medal in the event and is the Chinese women's record holder in the event to date.

In addition, shortly after the women's 4x100m medley relay event, she covered her stomach and sat down with a painful look on her face.




She said "I'm sorry to the team that I didn't do well"It's very difficult because menstruation has begun."

At the time, her honest and pleasant interviews became very popular throughout China and spread to 'meme'.

She also won the gold medal in the 50m and 100m backstroke at the 2014 Incheon Asian Games and the silver medal in the 50m backstroke at the 2013 World Championships.
