The work won the gold medal of the first Olympic literary and artistic competition, and it caused a huge sensation at the time.

"Ode to Sport" has gone through many years, during which it has been loved by people, competing to be the first to be recited, has a permanent charm, embodies the Olympic ideals of the characteristics of the times and great social significance, shines with the brilliant brilliance of Coubertin's sports thought, has high aesthetic value and strong aesthetic power.

In this prose poem, Coubertin passionately eulogized sports and the Olympic movement, especially spoke highly of the role and status of the Olympic movement in modern social civilization, and also satirized and criticized the various shortcomings of the Olympic movement, and its leading idea was that "sport is peace", which is also the Olympism that he has repeatedly explained in the "Selected Writings" with the theme of "Olympic Ideal", and has been emphasized by the "Olympic Charter".

In terms of ideological profundity or artistic beauty, "Ode to Sport" can be regarded as one of the outstanding poems in the history of the Olympic movement.

It will always be a righteous song of the magnificent Olympic Games, and it will always be a battle cry that urges people to advance to the realm of "higher, faster, and stronger".

After listening to Xiao Ran reciting the poem, Wells was in awe.

This poem is also the end of Xiao Ran, and it also represents the end of Xiao Ran's speech on stage, after bowing off the stage, before he could sit down, Wells hurriedly asked Xiao Ran: "Xiao, what is the name of this poem?"

Xiao Ran smiled: "Ode to sports." ”

"What an ode to sports! It's amazing, such a poem can interpret sports, higher, faster, stronger, I really didn't expect such a poem to appear in our New York University sports, it's really surprising to me!"

Before Xiao Ran's speech, Wells could guess that Xiao Ran definitely did not prepare the speech, even if Xiao Ran did not admit it when he asked, but as the president of New York University, he would not even be unable to see this.

And Xiao Ran was originally an athlete, and Wells didn't expect him to have any amazing speeches, after all, the opening ceremony of the Games, the speeches were the same, and there was no change at all, as long as he said something casually to deal with it.

However, I didn't expect Xiao Ran to come to such a song "Ode to Sports"!

It's not as impassioned, but it's definitely the best for sports!

Isn't that what sports are all about?

At this time, Wells was impressed by Xiao Ran, and used to think that Xiao Ran was just a lucky guy and a good guy in Tianfu, but now, through this poem, he feels the love and thorough understanding of sports.

The opening ceremony of the Olympics lasted half an hour, and at 9 a.m., the host announced the official start of the NYU Olympics!

After the start, Xiao Ran also said goodbye to Wells and started to prepare for the game.

First of all, Xiao Ran first followed the assistant arranged for him by Wells and came to the hall of the shooting competition.

In the shooting competition hall, Gardner, the coach of shooting sports at New York University, was chatting with Tara Schell.

At this moment, Tarachel saw Xiao Ran who had just walked from the gate at a glance, and immediately exclaimed, "Wow!

As he spoke, Taracheer's eyes lit up, and his admiration overflowed.

In the United States, the most popular game is rugby, followed by basketball.

In the world, basketball and football, it is not easy to say who is the most popular sport, and the fans that have are huge.

Don't look at Tara Schell is already an Olympic champion, but he is only nineteen years old this year, the official age of the most idol worship, plus the Nets under the leadership of Xiao Ran alone, broke through the finals, and finally won the championship, these are undoubtedly attractive to Tara Schell, a girl who likes sports.

Coupled with Xiao Ran's handsome appearance, it is not impossible to capture an Olympic champion fan.

In this sports meeting, Xiao Ran's arrival attracted much attention from New York University, so Wells also did a very good job in arranging Xiao Ran.

After seeing Xiao Ran walk in through the gate, Gardner immediately walked up with a smile and greeted: "Hi, Mr. Xiao Ran, I'm Gardner, the coach of shooting sports at New York University, and the referee of this shooting competition. ”

"Hello. ”

Tara Shel on the side also walked over and greeted a little shyly, "Hi, Xiao Ran." ”

Looking at Tara Chel, Xiao Ran felt that this girl was very familiar, and after thinking about it carefully, he immediately remembered that this girl was Tara Chel, who won the first gold medal in the Rio Olympics, so he greeted with a smile: "Hello, I know you, Tara Chel, right?"

Tarasher nodded frantically like a chick pecking rice, "That's right, that's it, that's, can I ask you for an autograph?"

"Absolutely. ”

Xiao Ran shrugged, and as a result, Tara Schell handed over a photo of Xiao Ran celebrating when he won the NBA, and signed his name on the back of the photo.

When signing, Xiao Ran not only sighed.

Alas, the same girl, Tarachell not only needs a signature, but even a photograph is signed.

This is the same as Xiao Nana, when she catches someone, she takes out a notebook, and asks for a notebook's signature!

Ya, it's really more popular than people!

Tara Sher, who got the signed photo, was very happy, and it could be seen from her not-so-pretty face that she was happy from the bottom of her heart.

Gardner smiled and said to Xiao Ran, "Mr. Xiao, where did you put your game gun?

In the shooting competition, there are not a lot of components needed for a gun, and with the addition of some miscellaneous things, the things needed to participate in the competition are not something that one person can take, so Gardner was also kind enough to help Xiao Ran.

However, he didn't know that Xiao Ran had never participated in any shooting competitions, and he only knew the rules for the competition, as for what guns to prepare, this was really nothing.

Xiao Ran said with a blank face: "What kind of game gun do we have to prepare for this?"

Gardner: "......"

Tarascher: "......"

The corners of Gardner's mouth twitched slightly, and he said: "Mr. Xiao, everyone's guns must be prepared by themselves, after all, shooting sports have very high requirements for firearms, and if they are a little different, the results will be completely different, so firearms need to be adjusted and run-in by themselves......"

Xiao Ran spread his hands and said, "I really don't know about this, but do you have a gun here?" Can you lend me a shot?"
