Chapter 216: Olympic Dominance

In the midst of the hustle and bustle, the semester is quickly coming to an end, and the final exams are coming.

Tagawa's performance in the exam was still as strong as ever, and after the exam, he was almost certain that his results should be the same as the previous exams, and all subjects were excellent. Exams are no longer a big deal for Tagawa, and he has become accustomed to studying by surprise at the end of the semester, thoroughly studying all subjects, and getting excellent results in the exams.

Before the exams are over, Tagawa's mind is no longer on the exams, and he has a more urgent matter to face, which is the Atlanta Olympics in the United States, which will start in mid-July. At this Olympics, Tagawa signed up for all five events he had practiced.

When he first registered, he was not going to apply for the long jump, because he knew that his results were still a certain gap from the championship level, and he might not even get a medal. But the polo coach urged him to sign up, saying that the long jump competition was even more important than the shot put, which he was more sure of.

Coach Ma said: "Although the long jump is a field event, the level of its results is based on the sprinting results of the track race, which represents a great significance. China's track and field events have always been a weak point, especially in men's events. The level of track and field in our country can be summed up in one sentence: 'men are not as good as women, track races are not as good as field races, and sprints are not as good as long-distance running'. Now you have the hope of reaching the final in the long jump, which is a miracle in itself, and if you play well and get a medal, it's even more amazing. You're good enough in long-distance running, and if nothing else, you won't have a problem winning one or two gold medals, and if you can get another medal in the long jump, you'll be a national hero. ”

Seeing that Tian Chuan was still a little hesitant, Coach Ma said: "The level of track and field in our country is not strong in Asia, and it is even worse than Japan. If you can win a few medals in the track event at the Olympics this time, not to mention world fame, at least you will be able to show your national prestige in Asia. For the sake of the country and yourself, you have to participate in this long jump competition. ”

Tian Chuan was moved, and finally asked Coach Ma to help him sign up.

After the final exams, Tagawa will go home for a few days, and then he will take Xiaohui, Xu Jingyi, and his family to fly to the United States to prepare for the Olympics in advance.

This is the first time that Tagawa has taken his parents on a trip abroad, and he himself does not have much time to spend with his parents, but this time he goes to the United States, and his sister's family of three will act with them and watch their own games together. He had already purchased tickets for all five days of track and field in advance and invited his family to attend the games.

During these five days, Tagawa competed, and it can be said that he was the athlete with the widest range of events among all the athletes participating in the Olympic Games.

As in the last Grand Prix of Lyon, Tagawa is still not ready to go to the United States with the Chinese delegation this time, and his family is too large to be inconvenient.

On 3 July, Tian Chuan, together with Tian's father and mother, and his sister and sister-in-law Fu Weiwei, Xiaohui, and Xu Jingyi, boarded a plane to the United States.

The Olympics will open on July 19, and the reason why I went to the United States so early was to take my family there for a few days first. It was the first time for my parents to go abroad, and Tagawa wanted to take them around the United States to take a look.

The family made a good travel gesture and first went to Hawaii, where they spent a week. Then I went to San Francisco and Los Angeles in the west to see the bustle of the metropolis. It then flew to Washington Continent, then to Helena in Montana, and then drove through the northern continents of Montana, South Dakota, Iowa and other continents to Chicago, where he visited his old friend Steve's family and played a game of baseball with a group of his friends.

After a two-day stay in Chicago, the Tagawa family continued their journey south from Illinois, passing through Kentucky and Tennessee, and finally reached Atlanta, Georgia, where the trip ended.

It took nearly 10 days to get to Atlanta, just two days before the start of the Olympic Games. Tian Chuan settled his family in a happily booked hotel, and went to the Olympic Village to report to the Chinese delegation that had arrived.

Coach Ma arrived with the Chinese delegation, and when Tian Chuan arrived at the delegation's residence, Coach Ma was being criticized and scolded by one of the leaders of the team: "You Tian Chuan, don't you still have a sense of organization and discipline? Can you do whatever you want when you come to the United States so many days in advance, just play around, don't make any preparations, and rely on your own little talent? Our delegation has been here for two days, and we haven't seen him yet, so I don't know what he thinks?"

Tian Chuan saw that Coach Ma was trained very badly, so he hurriedly knocked on the door and went in, and said to the leader: "My parents are coming to the United States for the first time, they are not familiar with the place, and they do not understand the language. ……”

Before the leader came to the United States, he may have been instructed by someone, and seeing that Tian Chuan's attitude was okay, he didn't hold on to this matter anymore, but just said: "The competition is about to start, you are one of the most high-profile players in our delegation, and it is very taboo to play around before the competition, if something happens and affects the competition, it will disappoint the people of the whole country." I also make this request to you on behalf of patriotic sports fans in China, and I hope you can understand. ”

Tian Chuan had never thought about this before, and when he heard this leader, it seemed that it was really like this, so he immediately nodded and said that he understood, and he would definitely pay attention to it in the future. Seeing that Tian Chuan's attitude was good, the leader's expression also brightened, and he said to Tian Chuan: "I know you, the results of this Olympic Games do not mean as much to you as others. But this achievement is not only for you alone, but also for our entire country, and belongs to the 1.3 billion people in the country. Taking this competition seriously is not your thing, you have to understand that. ”

Tagawa said: "Don't worry, before the end of the race, I will train and race here honestly, no longer run around, I will do my best to give the best result and repay the people of the whole country who support me." ”

Tian Chuan did what he said, made a phone call to his family in the hotel, explained that he was going to prepare for the competition, and called Lin Wenlan, who had just flown over, to cooperate with Xu Jingyi and Xiaohui to take care of his family, so he stayed in the Olympic Village and did not go out again, concentrating on preparing for the competition.

On the evening of the 19th, Tagawa and the members of the delegation attended the opening ceremony. Then, the next day, the track and field competition was held at the Atlanta Olympic Stadium, where the opening ceremony was held.

In the five days of competition, Tagawa achieved a comprehensive surpass of his previous results.

In the shot put, he threw 23.13 meters to win the championship and break his own Asian record in Lyon.

In the long jump, he jumped 8.61m to finish fourth and break the national record.

In the 5,000 meters, 10,000 meters and marathon races, he won two championships and one second place, respectively, and broke the national records in all three events.

From this Olympics onwards, Tagawa's name will forever be recorded in the Olympic Hall of Fame. It is very rare to win a total of four medals at the same time in one competition, such honors mostly come from swimming and other events, where many people can register for multiple competitions at the same time. Of course, there are often cases where one person reports more than one person in the Tagawa event, but it is basically limited to some similar competitions.

Tagawa's events spanning long-distance running, jumping and throwing are unique and important reasons why he has attracted so much attention at the Games.

After all the competitions in which Tian Chuan participated, the Chinese delegation held a special press conference for him, at which he said in front of reporters from various countries: "I started participating in the track and field competition by chance. At that time, in order to expand the influence of my favorite Tai Chi Tui Shou sport, I participated in the sports meeting of China Agricultural University, and won three championships in long-distance running, long jump and shot put at the same time. Later, many friends suggested that I continue to participate in athletics, I was hesitant, I had my own job, I was quite busy, but I finally decided to participate in a series of competitions to try to qualify for the Olympics, and I succeeded. I would like to thank my friends who encouraged and supported me, as well as the many people I knew and didn't know who helped me. ”

"Here, I would like to make a special note that I decided to participate in the track and field competition at that time, I was selfish, and I hoped to increase the popularity of our Tai Chi Tui Shou movement through the results achieved in the track and field competition, and I succeeded. At present, the Tai Chi push hand movement has received wide attention in the capital of China, and has developed a large number of practitioners. Among these practitioners, we have found some good seedlings with excellent qualifications, and I believe that after a few years of training, they will inevitably come out of the martial arts masters who are famous all over the country and even the world. ”

"Tai Chi is a fairly well-known traditional martial art in China, and some people have doubted its actual combat ability, but in this time, we have proved with our actions that it can compete with many famous fighting techniques that are popular around the world. I hope that in the future, I will be able to see one day, Tai Chi Tuishou, enter the palace of the Olympic Games. If there is such a day, I will do my best to qualify for this event. If I succeed then, hopefully I won't set another record for the oldest athlete in the Olympics. ”
