Chapter 205: Young Cowboys
"Ladies! Gentlemen! Distinguished guests, welcome to the beautiful tourist city of Helena, where you will enjoy the most exciting rodeo in the world, and now the competition is about to begin, and the players are cheering on your favorite rodeo! ”
When Gao Sai focused his attention on the venue, he heard a loud horn sounding in the venue, and this sound was accompanied by music, which really created a lively atmosphere. Gao Xi couldn't help but think of the kind of music he heard when he used to participate in the school sports day.
To be honest, from elementary school to university, as soon as I hear that kind of music, I have a conditioned reflex.
Obviously, people who come here are interested or curious about equestrian competition, so when the competition is about to start, it is natural that everyone will focus on the field.
Unlike China, many sports events in China have to tell a lot of Rory's rambling nonsense, especially this leader and that leader, who are talking clichés, and if you don't listen to him, you know what he has to say, which is a waste of time. And although the mayor of Helena also came to this equestrian competition, he also announced the start of the competition, and then wished the players good results, anyway, it went down in less than three sentences, cleanly.
Other Gao Xi didn't dare to talk about it, but he liked this very much, originally, this kind of thing should be straight to the point.
By this time, all the contestants had already circled the field, and then went back to prepare, and when the mayor of Helena announced the start of the competition, it was time for the opening ceremony of the conference.
The railing in the field opened, and the three riders were dressed up in extraordinary luxury, holding the Star-Spangled Flag of the United States, the state flag of Montana, and the flag of this athletic meeting.
The last two flags followed side by side. This moment, perhaps in the minds of Americans, the most solemn and solemn moment has arrived, like hearing the Chinese national anthem Chinese. It's the same as seeing the Chinese flag, but Gao Xi doesn't feel anything.
Seriously, he doesn't have much of a sense of belonging to the United States, even though he is now an American citizen. It's just to make it easier to run the ranch.
Perhaps it was only at this moment that Gossi really understood what was meant by the song.
Although I wear a dress, my heart is still Chinese.
This may not be an incomparable love for the motherland, it may just be a habit, an instinct.
It's like a child who has lived under the care of his mother for nearly 30 years, even if he becomes someone else's child for some reason, he has nothing to do with his biological mother in law, but in the child's heart, there is still only one mother.
Three horses, a male cowboy. The two female cowboys, after arriving in the center of the field, still held high in their hands, and at this time their cars slowly lowered their heads, which symbolized a solemn and solemn atmosphere, after all, the American Stars and Stripes are there, which symbolizes the country.
Gao Xi doesn't know whether Americans are patriotic or not, but it seems that the brainwashing of the United States is more powerful than that of the Chinese government. At least at this moment when the Stars and Stripes are raised, but pure Americans, well. Nor can it be said that Gaucy noticed that there were still a large number of Asian-Americans who were more dignified than their native Americans, and they even stood up and took off their cowboy hats. That expression was like facing an extremely important matter.
Of course, there are also those who don't care, such as Gao Xi and tour groups from other countries, and some local Americans also show that they don't care.
It seems that this person who does not like the national flag is not unique to China, which claims to be the freest country in the world. It's the same thing.
On the field, the female singers from Montana added a lot of color to the rodeo with their loud voices, but the chaos around them greatly reduced the grace of the singing.
Gao Xi smiled, sure enough, no matter where in this world, as long as there are human beings, there are differences.
As the song fell, most of the solemn Americans took a deep breath, and the seriousness on their faces suddenly disappeared, replaced by nervousness and excitement, because next, they were about to see what could be the most exciting rodeo in the world, and for those obsessed with it, it was more appealing than anything else.
Football?
Baseball?
Rugby?
Yes, in the world, the influence of football is huge, and in the United States, it seems that baseball and football are among the most influential. However, at this moment, these things have to be on the back line, and people only have cowboys and equestrianism in their hearts!
Of course, Gaucy thinks so, he thinks it's the purest sport in the world, unlike other sports that smell of copper.
It's a pity that he was soon slapped in the face.
After the Star-Spangled Flag, the State Flag, and the Flag were gone, countless banners appeared around the venue, and it was clear that this was allowed by the organizers, otherwise no one would have been able to get the advertisements into the venue.
These advertisements, the most conspicuous are Apple and Microsoft, and there are other Coca-Cola, Pepsi, etc., anyway, in Gaucy, these Yankees seem to want to cram all the brands into such a competition, and it is no wonder that the prize money of this competition is now more and more, and even many cowboys have turned from amateurs to professionals in the past.
Amateur cowboys, even after grazing, will come to participate when they have free time, and even if they don't win the prize, they will be very happy. But that's not the case now, and if you don't spend most of your time training and developing your horses, you're unlikely to do well in races.
Of course, unless you're a genius yourself, you may or may not stand out, because there are always people like that.
Sure enough, it's a capitalist society, and the smell of copper is so bad that it can make people vomit.
Although he was very dissatisfied with this, Gao Xi also had to admit that without these sponsors, Western Equestrian would not have been able to continue to develop, and sometimes it was really such a contradictory thing.
Finally, when those ** cowboys finished walking around the venue with banner ads, the next thing is that the real game begins.
The first event should be an exhibition match, a performance for the little ones.
Gao Xi took a closer look, the oldest of them is estimated to be fifteen or sixteen years old, they ride calves and ponies, just like real cowboys, every move is a plank, Gao Xi is ashamed of himself.
"How about it, Gao Xi, I'll tell you, although Clement's equestrian skills are great, but he may not be able to win awards when he comes here, some of these children may be more powerful than real cowboys, but their bodies have not yet grown up, so they can't ride a big horse, they can't participate in the competition, otherwise, there are really a lot of masters in it who can stand out." Fei Lengcui on the side said with a smile.
Gossi is actually not arrogant, although he brags that his equestrian skills have surpassed Clement, but in fact, he knows very well in his heart that his level is amateur at best, and he can't compare with ordinary cowboys, let alone competitive cowboys.
But to be honest, when he saw the level of these children today, he still felt a little ashamed, even children might as well brag that the blue is better than the blue, isn't it funny?
After all, he is now a professional, so it can be analyzed from a professional point of view, these children in the process of riding a bull and horse, all the movements are done very standard, this alone, Gao Xi can not do it, and even when there is an accident, Gao Xi must rely on the flexible reaction of the horse to make an avoidance or jump, but these little guys can give their own orders very calmly, so that the mount under the crotch obeys his orders.
"These little guys are going to be great competitive cowboys, right?" Gao Xi said with a smile.
"Not necessarily, some people just don't like professional competition, they learn equestrianism purely for fun. Hundreds of thousands of dollars in prize money sounds like a lot, but it's not uncommon for someone to be there, and you can't force it. Of course, it is certain that from among them, there must be someone who stands out. Fei Lengcui smiled.
Over there, Gao Xi's mother was startled, afraid that the little guys on the field would fall, and sometimes she was so frightened that she simply closed her eyes.
He also muttered, "The parents of these children are really irresponsible, how can they let their children play such a dangerous sport?" ”
Gao Xi originally wanted to say that he would let Haohao and Jiejie practice riding calves after they went back, but now, don't talk about it.
He suddenly remembered that when he was in junior high school, he was going to play football, but his mother said it was too dangerous and he was not allowed to participate.
This may be doting, but when the mother's worry is not unreasonable, the football field is kicked and broken legs often happen, and the equestrian competition is trampled to death, in the past, there were many children, not so doting now, now it is estimated that Gao Xi's mother is even more unlikely to let Jiejie and Haohao take this risk.
Just play on your own ranch.
Gao Xi gave up the idea of letting Jiejie and Haohao participate in the competition, after all, if something happens, he can't be responsible, it's his sister's child, don't make it impossible to even do brother and sister when the time comes, then the gain outweighs the loss.
After the exhibition game of the little ones, the competition of the cowboys finally appeared in the anticipation of countless people.
If the performance of the little ones made the audience laugh and was a spice, then the real rodeo competition is a sport full of excitement and excitement. (To be continued.) )
