Chapter 1195: Knife and fork vs. chopsticks!
After the meeting, everyone went to the media hall and announced the addition of two new sports to the reporters waiting for news.
When Emerson announced this major news, Clay and Garoff looked up in unison, looking at the electronic medal list hanging in the hall, Huaxia topped the list with 8 gold medals, and they were very uncomfortable.
Their two sports powerhouses have only won six gold medals so far......
Although with their strength, sooner or later they will catch up with Huaxia in the gold medal events of track and field, swimming, and weightlifting, but letting Huaxia dominate for so long also makes the two of them quite unhappy.
Huaxia has been in the limelight too much recently, and both of them have become supporting roles.
Especially Clay, who was unhappy in his heart, reporters all shouted the "dream team" and "dream team" of the Chinese diving team, but in fact, this term was originally the exclusive name of the new European basketball team.
But no matter how strong the Xinou basketball team is, it only has two gold medals, and it can't catch up with the diving with 8 events......
Therefore, they are new Europeans, and they have no way to accuse Huaxia of being a "copycat dream team".
After the press conference, Director Clay and Director Xiong were surrounded by Xinou and Huaxia reporters, and the reporters were very curious and asked:
"I heard that this table tennis has won two gold medal events many times, and it was promoted by two of them, may I ask the two directors, are you satisfied with this result?"
Director Clay laughed, took the initiative to put his arm around Director Xiong's shoulders and smiled:
"First of all, I would like to congratulate the Chinese Sports Bureau, for such a good result in this Olympic Games, there is no doubt that their performance has far exceeded people's imagination, you see, they are now at the top of the list, they have selflessly promoted the popularity of table tennis, I appreciate that they like table tennis. ”
Director Clay looked proud, said, and mentioned his representative of the new European Olympic team, Bol, and said with a smile:
"I'm sure Bol will be happy that he has already won three gold medals in the previous Olympics, and if he wins three gold medals this time, he will be the first athlete in the history of the Olympic Games to win 10 gold medals if he joins the team competition next time. ”
This is quite unashamed, not only counting the three gold medals related to men's table tennis on Bol's head, but even the next session, Clay feels that Bol can still win the Grand Slam.
Clay finished speaking excitedly, but Director Xiong changed his words and said:
"The proposal of this table tennis project is the result of internal discussions in our Huaxia Sports Bureau, and the specific content will be explained by Mr. Su. ”
As he spoke, he handed the microphone to Su Huai, who was standing behind, Su Huai took the microphone, and the reporters all focused on him, only looking at Su Shengren's gentle smile on his face, and explained:
"In fact, in this meeting of the International Sports Federation, in my opinion, the most important thing is not to adopt the new table tennis biathlon Olympic sports, but to plan the racket, glue and table tennis ball size data, just like football basketball, these data will be unchangeable in the future......
As soon as he said this, the reporters at the scene were very surprised, and even Garov from the Russian Sports Bureau next to him frowned and muttered in a low voice: "What does he think?"
Qiu Na, a sports reporter from Huaxia, asked with a curious face:
"Mr. Su, do you think there is no room for change in the existing rules?
If the rules are fixed, it means that the country with the highest level of table tennis is bound to continue to be strong.
As we all know, table tennis is a sport invented by Europeans and Americans, and the new European team is very dominant in table tennis......"
Qiu Na's question was puzzling to everyone, and Su Huai also explained with a slight smile:
"In fact, our Huaxia Sports Bureau, after research, has decided to promote table tennis nationwide, as a national fitness project, and we will also take table tennis as our national sport, to call on the public to participate, want the people to participate in a large scale, then the standard of rackets and balls, must be unified for a long time, can not be changed. ”
As soon as Su Huai said this, everyone in the audience was a little surprised, especially Director Clay, because Xinou is the number one power in table tennis, and since table tennis has become an official Olympic event, they have never let the gold medal in table tennis fall aside.
Su Huai actually wanted to promote the table tennis invented by the Europeans and Americans as the national sport of China? This is obviously not taking them seriously!
The smile on Director Clay's face disappeared, but turned into a look of displeasure, and he coughed dryly, and said with a smile:
"I am really very happy that Mr. Su vigorously promotes table tennis, but table tennis is a popular sport in our new Europe, if you want to claim that your country's national sport is table tennis in the world, then the better the results, the easier it is to promote. ”
As he spoke, Director Clay exerted the confidence and sense of humor of the new Europeans, and said to the reporters:
"Mr. Su instructed in diving and developed new movements, that is because China has a tradition of diving, there is a tradition of water swing, but table tennis seems to have been invented by our new Europeans, right? Could it be that table tennis also existed in ancient China, and it was also invented by your ancient Chinese people?
Let me remind you, we are new Europeans, but we have been holding knives and forks since we were children, which is very suitable for holding rackets and playing table tennis, which is equivalent to practicing table tennis swinging movements since childhood, and we have trained for more than ten years more than you Asians~~~"
The new European reporters couldn't help laughing a few times, Clay was sarcastic, in the past few years, Huaxia likes to say that all kinds of projects are ridiculous customs invented by Huaxia, even football, they say that it is the "Keju" played by the ancient Chinese people?
In the face of Director Clay's ridicule, Su Huai said very calmly
"Although table tennis was invented by Europeans and Americans, it does not mean that the sport is suitable for white Europeans and Americans.
Although we Chinese people don't use knives and forks, we use more flexible and ingenious chopsticks to eat, so if we hold the racket in a straight way, it is very easy to get started, and the speed of straight shooting is extremely fast, which can give full play to the natural speed advantage of our Chinese people. ”
Su Huai said, explaining the reason:
"In terms of physique, the Chinese people have an overwhelming advantage in speed and agility and flexibility in a small range, and table tennis can just give full play to the advantages of our racial characteristics, so our Huaxia Sports Bureau, after careful research, decided to promote table tennis throughout the country. ”
As soon as these words are said, the reporters are all looking at each other, what do you mean?
What Su Shengren means is that this time he is not like diving, combining traditional Chinese martial arts.
But in response to the habit of Chinese people using chopsticks, I researched and invented a new straight slap method!?
This means that Su Shengren is not only good at poetry, but also an expert in sports research?
