Chapter 35: KO

In the 2012 London Olympic Games, the Chinese sports delegation had a total of 622 members, including 397 athletes.

Such a large team, of course, did not pass together. Instead, according to different projects, they are divided into different teams and arrive in batches.

Although Lu Yan made a fuss because of the boxing event, he was with the track and field team on the trip.

After all, in the eyes of the leader, boxing may not necessarily win medals, and winning the sprint championship is the most important thing to do.

On July 23, in the early morning of Beijing time, Lu Yan arrived at London Airport with the track and field team. accompanied by Su Bingtian, Xie Zhenye, etc.

Liu Xiang also participated in this year's London Olympics, but he was not in the same starting batch as Lu Yan.

Because of the delay, the plane arrived an hour later than planned, and after an hour of customs clearance, activation documents and other procedures, at eight o'clock in the evening local time, Lu Yan and others wore team uniforms and walked out of the airport hall one after another.

There were Chinese reporters waiting, but most of the athletes did not stop, and the reporters did not come forward to cover them.

But when Lu Yan walked out, he was stopped.

It's really that he is too interesting, and a few casual interviews can make a hot news.

"Well, the plane was a little late, but everyone was in good shape, and there was nothing uncomfortable. Wait a minute, we'll go to Leeds training camp and then we'll go to the venue. ”

"Do you feel pressure for boxing matches?"

Lu Yan shook his head slightly, "No, for me, it's not that difficult!"

The reporters didn't delay Lu Yan for too long, and it was impossible for head coach Feng Shuyong to let him keep the interview endless.

The group quickly got on the bus and went to the Leeds training camp.

In the following days, under the arrangement of the sports delegation, training, adaptation to the venue, etc.

The time soon came to the 27th, and the opening ceremony was held.

The opening ceremony of the London Olympics was themed "Wonderful Islands", showcasing the history, culture and modern society of the British Isles, inspired by Shakespeare's masterpiece The Tempest.

The opening ceremony officially began at 9 p.m. local time and lasted for three hours. With an investment of about £27 million, the results are quite good.

Idyllic, Industrial Revolution, The Beatles, Trainspotting, 007, "Mr. Bean", Harry Potter...... One by one, the cultural symbols that the British are proud of appear.

Lu Yan, who was sitting in the venue watching, couldn't help but miss Ruan Xiaoxiao who was far away in the capital, if she wasn't pregnant, it would be great to be by her side at this time!

Ruan Xiaoxiao was not there, but Su Quinoa came.

But he couldn't come over to accompany Lu Yan, in fact, the leaders of the field management center have always hated this matter, which affects Lu Yan's commercial image and advertising revenue!

……

According to the event process, the first event that Lu Yan will participate in is boxing, which will start at 13:30 on the 28th, and the 1/16 competition.

At 20:30 on August 2, participate in the 1/8 game.

At 10 a.m. on the 4th, the first round of the men's 100-meter grading competition in the track and field event began.

The 5th starts at 18:50, the men's 100m semifinals, the final.

Starting at 18:50 on the 6th, there was a men's 100m award. At 20:30 that night, there was a 75kg boxing 1/4 match.

On the morning of the 7th, the first round of the men's 200m.

On the evening of the 8th, the men's 200m semifinals.

On the evening of the 9th, the men's 200m final and the victory ceremony.

On the afternoon of the 10th, the men's boxing 75kg semifinals.

On the evening of the 11th, the men's boxing middleweight (75kg) final and award ceremony.

It can be said that since the 4th, Lu Yan has been busy with games every day.

Fortunately, there is no conflict between sprinting and boxing competitions, only on the 6th, there is a men's 100-meter award and a boxing 1/4 event with a slightly close time interval, and it is estimated that I will not be able to receive the award in person.

……

Olympic boxing, which has always been called amateur boxing, is very different from commercial events in terms of the nature, time, protection, magnitude, publicity and adjudication of the competition.

The whole tournament adopts a single-elimination system, and the opponent is determined by drawing, and there are no seeded players. The athlete who lost in the semifinals tied for third.

The match is divided into four rounds of two minutes each, with a one-minute break between rounds.

On the morning of the first day of the competition, all participating athletes were required to undergo a physical examination and weighing. In the course of the competition, only the contestants who participated on the day need to be physically examined and weighed, and the interval between weighing and the competition cannot exceed three hours.

On the morning of the 28th, Lu Yan first went for a physical examination and weighing, and then in the afternoon, he came again. Because there is a middleweight (75 kg) 1/16 match.

In the afternoon, there were six middleweight (75kg) 1/16 bouts, and Lu Yan was in second place against Azerbaijan's Soltan Mijtiev.

This person is not well known, and against Lu Yan, who has no experience in international competitions, he finally reassures the coach Chaolu.

At the London Convention and Exhibition Center, Chao Lu explained the playing style and strategy to Lu Yan, who was about to enter the ring.

"Your disadvantage is that you are seriously inexperienced in the game, so you have to be conservative in your style of play, and wait for him to have a flaw!"

Lu Yan smiled: "Why don't you work so hard, the KO is over!"

"This is a single-elimination system, and if you lose once, you won't have a chance!"

Lu Yan smiled and nodded, he had his own thoughts in his heart, and felt that he didn't need to hide his strength too much.

After taking the stage, with the referee's "box", the game officially began.

Because of Lu Yan, this event was broadcast live by CCTV 5, and the signal was transmitted back to China.

Too many spectators, staying up late to watch the game, just wanted to see Lu Yan's boxing debut.

I don't know if it was a difficult victory in a few rounds of the battle, or if I was crushed by the opponent.

On the screen, Lu Yan did not take the initiative to attack, and after Migetiev tried to throw a few punches, he suddenly came up with a right hook.

Just when the audience's hearts were in their throats, Lu Yan hit Migetiev with a straight punch, and the latter fell to the ground and fell unconscious.

The arena was quiet for a few seconds, and then the earth-shattering noise erupted.

In front of countless domestic TVs, there were also bursts of exclamations.

"Damn, KO, this kid is too ruthless!"

"It's not human!"

"Good at sprinting, also good at long-distance running, and can also box, is this a superman!"

In the capital, Ruan Xiaoxiao lived in a villa in Jingxi, and she didn't dare to watch Lu Yan's game at all.

Xiao Wanru couldn't let her watch it, but she stayed in front of the TV early to watch her son-in-law's game.

When she saw Lu Yan knock out her opponent with one punch, she stood up from the sofa in surprise.

rushed upstairs and said loudly: "Girl, Lu Yan won, but he won easily, and he knocked down the person opposite with one punch!"

Ruan Xiaoxiao was in the upstairs bedroom, with the door open, and heard the voice of winning from a distance, and hurriedly shouted: "He's not injured, right?"

Xiao Wanru had already gone upstairs at this time, and said loudly: "What kind of injury, look at it, it's light, and I will be knocked down with one punch, let our girls worry at home, this child!"

Ruan Xiaoxiao leaned on the head of the bed and smiled reassuringly, "That's good, that's good, I know that with his strength, it's going to be fine!"
