081 Chapter 44 School Sports Meeting III.
There was also a black buddy who participated in the competition, but at this time, but was pulled to last place. This should be a student of our school's School of International Exchange, there are many exchange students in our school, and I have met a lot of blacks and whites when I walked around the school before, but most of them are Mu (anti-harmony) and Lin students from the Middle East. In the morning long jump, a white student participated.
At first, I thought it was a dark horse that came out of nowhere, but it turned out that I thought too much, and there were not a few people who were surprised and curious from the beginning, because now I vaguely heard some sighs.
I think this situation is normal, if he runs to the front, I think it is strange, people can run from Africa to go to school, that study must be very hard, physical fitness should be good. But it's not always the same as our hand-picked, trained players. Maybe the family is either a second-generation official in their hometown, or a rich second-generation, or even a tribal prince or something, and their physical fitness is comparable to those seniors who have returned from service.
Although he was pulled to the end, he did not give up and is still persevering. Maybe there will be a lot of people who think it's funny, they have competed in so many events, and they can actually see a black man participating in the competition, and the results are so bad, but think about it, who are the people who compare to him? We don't have the qualifications to go up to the competition, he is much better than us. So in my opinion, everyone who can compete in the 5000m race is a true warrior, a strong man who deserves our respect.
As he ran past me, I yelled at him twice, come on!
I saw his unwillingness to rush forward desperately, and I could understand it. After all, he is not alone in the game, as the most eye-catching contestant in the audience, his every move is watched by tens of thousands of people in the entire arena, he now not only represents himself, but also represents his country, his nation, so he will not give up, I also saw those few black classmates who were shouting and cheering for him.
There are not many black exchange students in our school, only about a dozen, but I didn't expect that there would really be people to participate in this hardest and most tiring 5000-meter race, which I was very surprised and admired, because this year of college life once made me think that college students are so depraved and lazy.
It is worth mentioning that our neighbor South Korea has a higher number of exchange students in our school, but I don't see them participate in any competitions today, maybe there are more girls among their exchange students!
But who can run across the finish line, a few of our brothers from the sports department were about to go up to help, but they were preempted by several of their seniors. A few of us followed behind with water and stuff. He is indeed very weak now, much more tired than running 3,000 meters in the Academy Games, after all, the intensity of the two cannot be compared, and this race schedule has almost doubled.
Especially the seniors have worked very hard, but the results of the competition are not so ideal, coupled with the tiredness of the psychology, under the double effect, it is even more tired. But at the moment of the finish, he seemed to have exhausted all his strength, and now he can't walk, of course, basically every athlete is like this. The black guy in the back was lying directly in his classmate's arms, and I heard the phrase "oh my god!".
Several of your seniors are comforting, chatting with her to distract him, and letting him ease up as soon as possible, I walked behind, not knowing what to say, what to do, just waiting for them to follow immediately if they need anything.
At this time, the sound of cheering on the radio came from the hot wind:
"They sweat in the scorching sun
Keep moving forward towards a firm goal
Don't give up even when you're exhausted
On the way forward
Constantly surpass yourself
For you know it very well
You will always be the strongest!
Come on, athletes!"
Maybe that's why we will do our best no matter what the result is, strive to surpass ourselves and prove our best interpretation.
A few of us sat on the artificial turf on the football field in the track, chatting with the seniors, and many athletes who had just finished the competition and their classmates were lying nearby.
Listening to the chatting of classmates from other colleges, I learned from the side that the black classmate just now seems to be from Tanzania, Africa, but we have been in school for a while, and it is said that this classmate is quite cheerful, and many people have heard of him.
This makes sense, I know from reading so many extracurricular books that Tanzania is one of the African countries that has a relatively strong relationship with China. Their country's tanks and guns are all imported from the country, and the training method of the troops is similar to ours, and the railways are all built with our assistance.
What I remember most is the war in which Uganda won a big victory decades ago and established their status as a great power in East Africa in World War I, using our 59 tanks and Type 56 rifles, and the infantry used the familiar Type 33 in their offensive formation. Of course, I'm just a pseudo-military fan, I don't know if I'm mistaken.
In our current popular parlance, I should have gone over and said to the fiery African buddy who was chatting with my classmates at our school: Lao Tie, 666!
I also admire her for being so young, a young man like him who has crossed more than half the world and gone to a foreign country to study, and can still adapt well and mingle with us guys. I seem to have seen him play football on the basketball court and football field before, so he should be a relatively sunny young man who loves sports.
To be honest, I feel that he is the kind of young man who really has goals, ideals, and hard work, just like our older generation of pioneers a few decades ago, with the kind of positive and enterprising ambition of self-improvement similar to studying for the rise of China.
I don't know how many young people are like me, but I know very well why I am like this, maybe it is because I am used to living a comfortable and carefree life, and I have not really felt any sense of crisis!
The 5,000m race continues, because it is the second group, and the number of people is slightly smaller than the first group, but the competition is still brutal and fierce. The entire track and field field resounded with loud drums and slightly hoarse cheers.
The sky was still not even cloudy, and there was hot wind and heat waves, and even if I was just standing by the track and wearing a hat, I felt a little dizzy, let alone the athletes who were sweating. Of course, most of the communication problems in the open-air auditoriums were also suffering from all the time, but fortunately the competition was fierce enough. Otherwise, someone will really get heat stroke.
No matter the scorching sun, wind or rain, as long as the game is still going on, the seats in each house must be full, this is the school's hard and fast rule. I think he's human and fair, but of course, there are people who don't.
The history (secretary) teacher of our college also spoke, whoever wants to run in advance, don't think about passing the moral education score this semester. His starting point is for the honor of the academy and to ensure collective cohesion, and there is nothing wrong with that, many times, many things can only be constrained by coercive orders.
