Chapter 287 The last day of track and field

At 22:50 pm on August 28, Athens time, and at 3:50 AM on August 29, Yanjing time.

Olympic Stadium.

A fierce women's 4*400m relay race ended. With an absolute advantage of more than one second ahead of the second place Russian team, the US team won the gold medal in the event. It once again proved their strong position in the sprint event, and also made countless spectators feel the preciousness of other players who grabbed medals from the United States.

After some excited cheers, the four black American girls ended up.

In the stadium, countless eyes and the focus of the scene were aimed at the athlete's passageway and at the podium in the middle.

At this moment, the whole world is paying attention!

What is about to start is the award ceremony for the men's 4*100m relay race at this Athens Olympics.

Today is the last day of the Olympic track and field competition, and all competitions including marathons will end today.

Therefore, today's main stadium not only attracted a large number of spectators from all countries, but also many leaders of delegations.

In the luxurious room like conference rooms specially arranged for the main leaders of each delegation, the heads of several major countries of the Olympic Games and some core leaders were here at this time.

Including China, Russia, and the United States.

They communicated cordially and occasionally expressed their views on fierce competitions, which seemed harmonious. But as the most direct competitors in the world at present, how could there be any real harmony?

The Russians were extremely excited because of the several gold medals they won, and seemed to have completely abandoned their scheming.

Americans are embarrassed at times, and they just give me some fun congratulations. They are in a bad mood because of the many defeats, but they still smile with a professional smile. It was not until the women's 4*400m competition just ended and finally got a gold medal and saved their face. They really had a sincere smile.

Accompanied by two staff members, Yuan Minwei, the leader of the Chinese delegation, was really excited and excited at this moment. He was so excited that he was so excited that he defeated the United States in the 10,000-meter awards and 4*100-meter victory.

As the situation on the spot, when the award ceremony for the men's 4*100-meter relay competition was about to begin, Yuan Minwei stood up again.

One night, he was extremely proud and proud to be able to see a wonderful and inspiring game and to hear the national anthem played twice in the main stadium.

Peter Uberros, the head of the US Olympic delegation who had just gained some good mood, saw Yuan Minwei's actions and remembered the award ceremony that was about to begin. The expression of relief that had just appeared on his face disappeared again.

He felt uncomfortable again, but as a Jewish businessman, he always knew how to control himself and face others. Compared to Russia, he was more willing to deal with China.

"Mr. Yuan, congratulations! Your China is really beyond my expectations this time." Uberros smiled and congratulated, then shook his head, "Compared to last year, our performance this time is already very good. Unexpectedly, you took away two gold medals in the end, oh, no! It's three, your Lin, Liu, and the four young men now, this most precious man's 4*100-meter relay gold medal..."

Yuan Minwei was very happy. After a hearty laugh, the smile on his face bloomed.

He knew that Americans were polite compliments, and they might still complain in their hearts. The American sports associations and even the Olympic Committee are not like China, which seem to have higher freedom in the official state, but it is really much more troublesome to talk about.

"Mr. Uberros, our track and field is just starting out, and there are many accidental factors in winning this championship. Your athletes have made some minor mistakes and gave us a chance!" Yuan Minwei didn't care whether Uberros was authentic or not, and after laughing, he was also kind.

"Yes, I made some minor mistakes!" Uberros shook his head and smiled, with a perfect helplessness on his face, but this time it looked a little real.

In fact, he really felt helpless. Before joining the US Olympic Organizing Committee, he agreed with the so-called freedom and democracy of athletes. He was also happy to agree with the so-called sports spirit that athletes said, and even help those athletes fight for so-called rights.

But his butt determines his head. After he officially started entering, he began to hate the current system and the so-called rules.

Their organization needs to develop, and need performance to improve various values, which requires excellent athletes.

Are there many outstanding athletes in the United States? Of course, there are many. But under the facts, their control over athletes is too poor. They are not recruited, and there are many people who are recruited to deal with the matter. But he cannot do anything to these athletes because of these things that make him hate.

He was a little envious of the Chinese people in front of him. Under the national system, athletes were developing rapidly wherever they were talking about. I won’t talk about table tennis, diving, gymnastics, etc., but they are getting stronger and stronger. Now even track and field is starting to rise.

"However, you are really improving too fast. I was shocked at last year's World Track and Field Championships. This time your track and field events are even more..."

"Haha, Mr. Uberros, there are indeed improvements, but there is still some gap compared to you!" Yuan Minwei humbled very politely and changed the subject, "Your American track and field athletics are very strong, and your track and field trials have always been called the 'Little Olympics', but I also look forward to one day our country's track and field athletics will be the same as you..."

"Mr. Yuan, our track and field is indeed still in terms of advantages, and we are willing to communicate with each other and promote each other. Our United States is the most open country in the world, and we are willing to develop and progress with you."

"For your national system, we actually..."

"Chief, here we come!"

Just as Yuan Minwei and Uberros' discussion on the movement and system had not yet begun, the reminder from the entourage sounded. Without being able to treat the Americans again, Yuan Minwei's eyes turned to the field and couldn't help but stand straight.

...

"The third place in the men's 4*100m relay race of this Athens Olympics is the British relay team. Please stand on the podium."

With countless attentions, the athletes of the three relay teams stood one by one behind the corresponding podium positions, and the radio of the conference was released at this time.

Amid the applause of tens of thousands of viewers at the scene, four British team members stood on the lowest position in the three podiums with complicated expressions.

It was another third place. After they believed that their relay strength was almost complete, they fought and lost continuously. Last year's World Championships thought it was an excellent opportunity, but the difference was small and I lost.

I calmed down and prepared to fight again this year, but it turned out to be another defeat, and the gap this time was even bigger, which was a bit desperate.

He accepted the bronze medal personally hanged by the President of the International Olympic Committee. He then took the flowers from another Chinese old man. Jason Gardner reluctantly squeezed out some smiles, and his heart was very heavy.

Chambers is gone, Campbell is injured, and he is old. He himself...

He felt that their golden generation was over, what would happen in the future?

Gardner looked at the other two groups with a heart full of thought. He was not gloating when he saw the same bad-looking Americans, but he did not regret it.

In several games, almost every time they made mistakes and lost the gold medal. Even the British team's idea of ​​winning the championship is based on the premise that the American team will likely make mistakes. Isn't this worth thinking about? However, the Americans have always been like this.

Instead, it is the Chinese team.

Chen, Zhao, and two others...

Huaxia, what kind of country is this?!

"Now let's invite the Chinese team, the 4*100-meter champion of this Athens Olympics, to stand on the highest podium!"

There were thunderous applause at the scene, and tens of thousands of Greek spectators did not leave the field after all the competitions. There were many finals today and there were many award ceremony. Without Greek athletes participating, they still stayed.

Compared with the booings that were circulating a few days ago, they demonstrated good sports ethics at this moment. Witness every athlete in every country and cheered for the honor they received.

Side sidelines,

Many coaches, staff and athletes of the Chinese delegation, including Lin Mu, have skipped the advertising bezels on the sidelines.

They stood closest to the stadium, straightening their backs and cheering up their spirits. Every time the national flag is raised and the national anthem is played, this is the most glorious and great moment for athletes and the most glorious moment for all Chinese people.

The atmosphere at the scene reached its climax, and the applause rang for dozens of seconds.

“…Ladies and gentlemen, now hold a flag-raising ceremony and play the national anthem of the People’s Republic of China…”

As a familiar melody sounded, three flags rose on the three flagpoles in the middle of the Olympic Stadium. On the left is the star-striped flag, on the right is the rice-shaped flag, and on the bright five-star red flag is high above...

"Get up, people who don't want to be slaves will build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall..."

On the sidelines, the group where Lin Mu was located was singing loudly with tears in his eyes.

Luo Yi was singing, Feng Yong was singing, Yu Weili was singing, and Lin Mu was singing in a louder voice than before.

Even people with incomplete tone still put down all their reserve and roared hard at the melody imprinted in their bones.

"The Chinese nation has arrived. At the most dangerous time, everyone is forced to let out the last roar..."

In the stands,

The Huaxia Watching Legion, including many other athletes, was also roaring unrestrainedly. They waved the red flag in their hands and roared in the highest tone...

The voices of thousands of people naturally gathered together, and in the vast stadium, the solemn and majestic national voices echoed!

"Get up! Get up! Get up..."

...

"Go ahead, go!"

Yuan Minwei finished singing the last sentence until the music stopped and the next event to be prepared for the competition began.

With his hand stretched out his face and Yuan Minwei let out a slow breath.

For decades, he fell in love with this feeling since he first sang the national anthem in the stadium. He loved these melodies and also the simple, passionate and spiritual words in the songs.

The Chinese people have built a country with flesh and blood, and the Chinese people are safe and safe, and have always adhered to this idea and internal and external enemies and various hardships and hardships. In the new era, large-scale wars are gone, but this idea cannot be lost. And these sports people must take on such will and inherit such spirit.

Therefore, even during that special period, the national anthem was changed. He sang the new national anthem that praised the theme for several years, but he never forgot every word in the song. Until now, he has worked in the leadership position for so many years and has not changed. Some things, once printed, will last for the rest of his life.

"Mr. Yuan, I have to say that your China is a great nation. I hope now that our sports organization can strengthen communication and exchanges with you and the organization and management organization you are in..."

Uberros stood up, walked to Yuan Minwei very seriously, and said sincerely.

He actually didn't understand these Chinese people, but he admired them even more.

For example, the highest commander of China's sports, a high-powered person, can sing the national anthem without hesitation because of a sports event award ceremony, with sincere feelings and tears in his eyes. This is unimaginable in the United States.

There is also Mr. He who presented the awards many times, and every time he can feel those feelings that he cannot understand. Also, many people in society and sports people he has seen...

Mission? Faith? Family and country honors?!

Although he didn't fully understand, he knew what that was, and it seemed that it was something they lacked in America.

There is such a thing, and China's economy has leap forward. With such something, with the promotion of the national system, how can China's sports not develop?!

"Thank you for your praise. I am also looking forward to strengthening exchanges and cooperation with you. The 2008 Olympic Games will be held in our China. We also hope that all countries in the world can come to China with the best appearance and the best competitive state. We look forward to competing with sports athletes from all over the world to show their Olympic spirit and sports style..."

...

"Xiao Feng, say hello to the track and field team later. I will go to their side with several deputy commanders of the regiment headquarters tomorrow..."

He left the box with his men. On the way, Yuan Minwei ordered the accompanying staff.

It was getting late, and there was no more competition to China. Yuan Minwei just made a few simple polite words with the Americans and did not continue to talk about it. The Chinese spirit that Uberros was interested in and the national system, Yuan Minwei was completely uninterested in giving him any popular science.

How could a country established by barbaric invasion and a country developed by hegemony invasion, how could it be possible for the Chinese to understand the passionate feelings of the country and nation?

It is always said that sports should not involve politics, but how is it possible? From the beginning of the Olympics, when can they truly escape these influences?

"Let Coach Kobayashi and his apprentices stop running away. I want to have a good talk with them! I will take them with me before the closing ceremony." Without thinking about the Americans anymore, Yuan Minwei continued to instruct.

Thinking of Coach Kobayashi, Yuan Minwei couldn't help but smile in his heart.

Today, five gold medals and one bronze medal, the gold medal list and medal list are second only to the United States, firmly ranked second. Among these gold medals, there are traditional table tennis diving and other advantageous events, and the women's volleyball team that reshapes glorious women's volleyball team. Each medal makes him happy and very inspiring.

But what really surprised him and was even more surprised were track and field, four gold medals, two silver medals, and one bronze medal. Except for long-distance running events that barely had a glorious history, the rest were straight and short distances in track races. Especially the relay not long ago, this was a major breakthrough in history.

It is shocking and inspiring. Moreover, these athletes are still young, a group of young people led by a young man. Li Rongfu doesn't need to keep talking about it. In fact, he has decided to give them the greatest support and prepare well for the doorstep of his home in 2008.

"The Athens Olympics are coming to an end. This time I don't have the chance to lift the American stool, but in 2008, we have to try it out!"

Yuan Weimin had a smile on his face. With a group of excellent young people, he couldn't help but look forward to it.
