Chapter 195: The Five-Star Red Flag Flutters

"The Chinese relay team won, China has made history, we are the champions! Our men's 4×100m relay team won the gold medal and they are the number one in the world! Our relay team not only glorifies Asia, but today they are at the Olympic Stadium in Athens, glorifying the world!! ”

Yang Jian, the on-site commentator, almost trembled, and shouted excitedly uncontrollably.

Countless people shouted in front of the TV, and in the early morning and midnight, at this time, among thousands of households in the country, bursts of excited shouts were heard from time to time.

"China, we will win!"

I don't care if it will affect other people's news, I don't care if someone comes to scold and smash the glass, it is at this moment, I am blocked in my chest in one breath, and I don't roar in my throat and I am not happy!

"Win! Win! ”

The coaching staff of the track and field team screamed almost at the same time, all of them turned red, and Yuan Guohua was surrounded by several people, so excited that he patted his shoulder and back again and again.

"Lao Yuan, the relay team won! You're a good player! ”

"I really won!" Yuan Guohua stood on the sidelines and looked blankly at Su Zu, who was running around the field on the field, and felt something cross his cheek for a while.

It turned out that unconsciously, he had already burst into tears.

Yuan Guohua had expectations in his heart, but he dared to really think about it. From the discussion and the explanation and analysis of many coaches, to the implementation of this relay-driven individual project training method, he thought that it would take four or five years to achieve some results, but he didn't expect to have incredible results so quickly!

"Gold medal!"

Nothing comforts a coach who has dedicated his life to athletics sprinting, and nothing touches the hearts and minds of future generations to achieve better results.

We can, China can!

In the finish line area, Chen Jian, Yang Guangzong and Shen Yunbao also arrived, and the crowd did not know whether it was a reporter or a member of the delegation, and several red flags were thrown at them.

On the 400-meter runway, Su Zu, Chen Jian, Yang Guangzong, and Shen Yunbao began to run around the field wearing bright five-star red flags.

The javelin throw final in the field competition had ended before the final round of the 4×100m relay, and the entire Olympic Stadium track was unobstructed, and no referees or staff jumped out to stop him.

Greet them with cheers, which they deserve to get!

The 70,000 spectators applauded the fact that from the day the Olympic Games were born, the champion was so expected and worthy of encouragement!

This is the world's biggest stage, and these Chinese have created unprecedented achievements!

In the team event that most tested the team's tacit understanding and sprinting level, they won the championship, and they achieved Chuangqi!

This is a new page in the history of Chinese track and field, and it will also be a heavy stroke in the history of world track and field!

Chinese, yellow races, can also win the most weighty gold medal in the sprint event!

On the edge of the arena, countless reporters held their cameras high, and the flashes kept flashing like stars in the vast starry sky.

"Su Zu, Yang Guangzong, Chen Jian, Shen Yunbao, the four of you will come together."

In the swarm of media, someone shouted at several people in Chinese.

The four of them wore red sprinters and red five-star red flags and stood on the track together. The sound of the camera shutter sounded like a firecracker, and time will forever remember this moment.

……

August 28 at 22:50 p.m. Athens time, 3:50 a.m. Beijing time.

On the makeshift podium at the Olympic Stadium, the women's 4×400m medal ceremony has just ended, and the three women's 4×400m relay teams from the United States, Russia and Jamaica have left.

Then began the medal ceremony of the men's 4×100m relay race of the Athens Olympic Games.

The front four are Team Great Britain in white and blue sprinters, Jason Gardner, Darren Campbell, Marlon Devonish and Mark Lewis Francis.

In the middle is the Chinese team in bright red sprint suits, Su Zu, Chen Jian, Yang Guangzong and Shen Yunbao.

The final quartet is Team USA in white and red tracksuits, Sean Crawford, Justin Gatlin, Kobe Miller and Morris Green.

Under the guidance of the guide, the athletes of the three relay teams stood one by one behind the corresponding podium positions, and the broadcast of the conference came out at this time, and the host of the meeting shouted in English and Greek in an impassioned tone:

"The third place in the men's 4×100m relay at this Athens Olympics was the United States relay team, and they were invited to stand on the podium."

To the applause of tens of thousands of spectators, the four relay team members of the U.S. team stood on the lowest of the three podiums with expressionless faces.

"The second place in the men's 4×100m relay at this Athens Olympics went to the British relay team, and they were invited to stand on the podium."

The four athletes of Team Great Britain smiled and motioned to the crowd around the scene, and one by one stood on the podium.

At the last moment, the host's voice on the scene was almost raised by an octave, and the tone contained the power of incendiary:

"Now let's invite the Chinese team, the champion of the men's 4×100m at this Athens Olympics, to stand on the highest podium and congratulate them!"

There was thunderous applause at the scene, and tens of thousands of spectators did not take a stand after all the games, showing a completely different sportsmanship that had been criticized by the European and American media in the past few days. Cheers to the champions and hurdles to all the athletes who compete!

Su Zu, Chen Jian, Yang Guangzong and Shen Yunbao stood on the highest podium at the same time.

"Audience friends, now you are watching the medal ceremony of the men's 4×100m relay race of the Athens Olympic Games, the Chinese men's 4×100m relay team composed of Su Zu, Chen Jian, Yang Guangzong and Shen Yunbao made history in this Olympic Games and won a gold medal. This is the most important men's sprint gold medal since China participated in the Olympic Games after Liu Yangyu won the first gold medal in men's track and field yesterday. This is a historic moment, and we are honored to witness it together. ”

The audience who was still waiting for the final award ceremony in front of the TV was more and more enthusiastic in Yang Jian's slightly hoarse voice.

"Now the athletes are presented with the president of the International Olympic Committee, Jacques Rog, and the famous sports diplomat He Zhengliang, and the first award is the bronze medal in the men's 4×100m relay......

At the Olympic Stadium, IOC President Jacques Rogge first awarded the bronze medal to the United States team, then the silver medal to the British team, and finally arrived at the Chinese team.

When Su Zu lowered his head, Jacques Rog smiled and hung the gold medal on him, and at that moment, Su Zu only felt indescribable excitement and excitement in his heart.

How many efforts, how many dreams, turned into reality at this moment.

"Congratulations, Chinese boys!"

Jacques Roger hung the gold medals of the highest honor on each of the four members of the Chinese relay race, and put olive branches on their heads to weave garlands representing victory, laurels, dignity and excellence.

After shaking hands one by one to congratulate each other, the second award presenter, Mr. He Zhengliang, received a cluster of flowers from the hostess wearing traditional Greek costumes and presented them to all the athletes again.

Especially when he presented the award to the four Chinese athletes standing on the top podium, the old gentleman almost burst into tears, he has been engaged in sports work all his life, engaged in international sports liaison for the National Sports Commission. And today, at this Olympic Games, he finally awarded the Olympic gold medal representing the highest honor to Chinese athletes in track and field events several times.

Standing on the highest podium of the Olympic Games, wearing the national flag, wearing an olive wreath on his head, and a gold medal around his neck, he held up the flowers in his hand to signal to the audience.

This is the most glorious and great moment for athletes.

The atmosphere reached the climax, and the applause resounded for dozens of seconds.

“…… Ladies and gentlemen, the flag-raising ceremony will now be held and the Chinese national anthem will be played......"

The thousands of Chinese spectators sitting at the scene, as well as the officials, staff, coaches and athletes of the Chinese delegation, all put down their various small flags, backpacks and other things when they heard the last word "China" and stood up in unison.

Countless viewers watching the award ceremony in front of countless televisions, whether lazily lying on the sofa or sitting on chairs and stools, became solemn and even straightened up at almost the same time.

With a familiar melody sounding, three flags were raised on the three flagpoles in the middle of the Olympic Stadium. On the left side is the rice flag, on the right side is the star-striped flag, and the one in the middle is the highest, which is the five-star red flag.

"Rise up, people who do not want to be slaves, build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall, and the Chinese nation has reached ......"

Su Zu watched the five-star red flag rise, followed by the familiar music in his mouth, and sang loudly the March of the Volunteers, and we had a fierce national anthem.

Become an athlete, stand on the highest podium in the world, listen to the melody of the March of the Volunteers, and watch the five-star red flag flutter.

I know that my life has not been in vain!

I love you China!
