Chapter 196: The Athens Olympics End
When Su Zu and Chen Jian walked off the podium, they were surrounded by all the media personnel almost instantly.
"Su Zu, from the bronze medal in the 100 meters, to the silver medal in the 200 meters, and finally won the gold medal in the men's relay, can you tell us what you think now?"
"Shen Yunbao, do you think you won the championship by luck? A lot of people say that if the U.S. team doesn't make mistakes, you probably don't have a chance to win the gold medal at all. ”
"Chen Jian, can you share with us your mood at the moment?"
"Yang Guangzong, Yang Guangzong, both from the Demon Capital, you and Liu Yangyu both have gold medal ......"
……
All kinds of problems came flooding over almost all at once. There are local media, as well as large CCTV and newspapers and periodicals of the same level.
At the beginning, several people were able to answer patiently, but gradually found that many European and American reporters appeared together.
"Everyone, don't be impatient, everyone, don't be impatient."
At this time, a figure squeezed into the crowd and blocked in front of Su Zu's athletes.
"Our team members have just finished the competition and haven't taken a shower and changed their clothes yet, can you give them a little time?" Feng Shuyong stood in front of several people with a smile and said to many media people.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow there will be a press conference. There will also be a press conference after returning to Japan, so please come and see you there. Now please make way for our athletes to go back to rest first, thank you! Thank you ......."
Most of the media reporters on the scene are also Chinese, so they can understand. Under Feng Shuyong's words, everyone also applauded and got out of the way. Just saw the Chinese relay team standing on the podium, the national anthem played, and the national flag raised, the feeling was so exciting that it was difficult to suppress the impulse in their hearts, and they all wanted to dig more news from the athletes.
And now the real foreign media is not nothing, but many of them do not ask questions due to language barriers. It's just taking advantage of this time to take a few more photos, go back to various data to check, and a news report will be concocted.
At this time, in a high-end conference room at the Olympic Stadium, accompanied by two interpreters, the head of the Chinese delegation, Yuan, was chatting cordially with Ueberroth, the president of the United States Olympic Committee.
"Mr. Yuan, you guys are really unexpected this time." Ueberroth shook his head and said, "I didn't expect that the most precious men's 4×100m relay gold medal was taken away by your Chinese." ”
Captain Yuan laughed loudly, "Mr. Ueberroth, we have been thinking about how to shake your gold medal position, this is a good start, and the next time it is 08, maybe we can do it if we have home advantage." ”
Ueberroth smiled, "It's very likely, Mr. Yuan, you're progressing so fast that I'm a little shocked. This time your sprinter, Sue, is just as high as our American athletes. I'm looking forward to what he did in '08. ”
"He's still a young man, and I hope to be able to play against you American greats again in '08." Head Yuan replied with a smile, "The track and field in the United States is very strong, and your track and field trials want to be called the 'Little Olympics', and I look forward to the day when our country's track and field athletes can be at the same level as you." ”
"That's not going to work." Ueberroth shook his head, "Unless we can play table tennis as well as you do." ”
Ueberroth's dry humor made several people, including the interpreter, laugh.
After many twists and turns, the four members of the relay team finally returned to the Olympic Village from the Olympic Stadium, and as soon as they returned to the regiment headquarters, they almost caused quite a stir, and the crackling applause was endless.
They are all athletes and sports people, and they are all too clear about what it means to win the gold medal in the men's 4×100m. This is truly the weight of the entire Olympic Games.
And, today is another harvest night.
In addition to the gold medal in the men's 4×100m, the girls of the women's volleyball team once again topped the first place in the Olympic women's volleyball team after hard work.
In the diving event, the men's 10-meter platform Hu Jia and Tian Liang's results of one gold and one bronze are also dazzling enough. There were also two gold medals in men's double kayak and taekwondo under 67 kg in women's classes.
On August 28, Athens time, with five gold medals and one bronze medal, China's total number of medals has reached 32 gold, 18 silver and 14 bronze, second only to the United States and second in the medal table of the entire Olympic Games.
And on August 29, the last day of the Olympic Games, the Chinese delegation also had at least two medals in the account. This is almost the most perfect performance since China participated in the Olympic Games.
Whether it's the total number of medals or the major breakthroughs in athletics and other events, each one is so inspiring.
……
August 29, the last day of the Athens Olympic Games.
The Chinese delegation once again won one gold and one bronze, and the taekwondo women's Chen Zhong won the championship in the taekwondo women's 67 kg or more. And Zou Shiming won the bronze medal in the 48kg boxing class, which also made people see the hope of Chinese boxing.
August 29 at 9 p.m. Athens time, August 30 at 2 p.m. Beijing time. The Olympic Stadium, the grand closing ceremony of the Athens Olympic Games.
In the rhythmic and dynamic music, the 70,000 spectators of the entire stadium are like a sea of people and a sea of joy.
Su Zu and Chen Jian and a large number of other athletes sat in the audience, watching this rare closing ceremony. They didn't make it to the opening ceremony, but this time the closing ceremony will not be missed again.
Especially when the last 8 minutes in Beijing began, all the Chinese athletes, coaches and other staff in the audience, as well as the spectators, cheered.
On the big screen of the Olympic Stadium, a heavy ancient gate slowly opened, and an elegant woman flipped her red sleeves like flowers and waves, and the beautiful flower scroll of green mountains and green waters opened in front of everyone.
The Temple of Heaven, Dunhuang, the boundless rape flowers bloom, the red silk flips, like the ink of the Jiangnan landscape scroll. The vigorous martial arts athlete has a sharp sword, and the man with flying sleeves and drumming is vigorous. In front of the open gate of the Forbidden City, a graceful woman with red sleeves flying.
Slow and excited drums resounded throughout the Olympic Stadium.
Su Zu sat in the audience and watched as if he was fascinated. On the huge video screen, from the beginning of the scenery to the sound of drums, the whole scene begins to fall into the ordinary of the market.
Teenagers are playing basketball in the streets and alleys, children are holding small windmills swaying on swings, old people are dancing swords in the grass to exercise, and bright-colored Peking Opera actors look back like fairies.
Middle-aged aunts are kicking shuttlecocks, young office workers are jumping over rows of bicycles like hurdles, and children are imitating gymnasts playing games, and everyone has a smile on their faces.
Suddenly, the big screen dimmed, and a woman's cheering voice rang out.
As the lights flashed on, the women's orchestra playing on the Great Wall, which had just been playing on the screen, suddenly appeared on the scene.
The pipa and erhu are played in unison, the waist drums are bursting, and the singing and dancing are brisk and full of national characteristics.
The actors in the shape of Peking Opera characters hold red lanterns high, performing martial arts, dance, and Peking Opera on the field, and the performers are all tumbling like dragons, and their movements are dazzling and vigorous, almost unconsciously applauding.
Finally, a huge lantern fell, and a little girl in a school uniform carried a small lantern in her hand, singing "What a beautiful jasmine flower" in a milky voice.
At the Olympic Stadium, there was thunderous applause, and countless first-time Western audiences saw such a traditional Chinese performance for the first time.
All the Chinese present stood up, and a sense of pride arose.
Su Zu applauded desperately, watching the last actor unfurl the banner of "2008, Beijing welcomes you", and thus the entire Athens Olympic Games came to an end.
