Chapter 390: I Ran for Myself, and For Your Motherland!

August 17 at 10 p.m.

In the Bird's Nest Stadium, there was a surge of people, and the stands were full.

In today's last race, the women's 3000m steeplechase final, which entered the Olympic Games for the first time this year, has just ended, and Russia's Samitova won the championship in 8:58.81 and broke the world record! Kenya's Kotic was second and Russia's Volkova finished third.

Inside the venue, Olympic volunteers and staff are cleaning up the obstacle barriers and wading pools laid on the 400-meter standard track.

The noisy talking, shouting, and castanets in the entire stadium all converged to form a buzzing wave, making people feel like they were in a roaring noise machine factory.

Despite the noise and noise in the venue, except for a small number of foreigners or foreign media, at least 80,000 spectators at the scene did not bother to get up, and they all sat safely in their seats, waiting for the upcoming grand ceremony.

"Wait a minute."

In the corridor, Li Zhizhong called out to Su Zu, who was about to follow the volunteers out of the stadium.

"Huh? What's wrong, Master? Su Zu looked back at Li Zhizhong with some confusion, and was a little confused for a while.

Li Zhizhong reached out and flipped the collar of the national team jersey behind Su Zu, then patted Su Zu's shoulder, smiling, "Go ahead!" ”

"Good!"

Su Zu smiled and nodded, turned around and followed behind the volunteers, waiting to enter the Bird's Nest Stadium for a while.

Standing in front of him was a tall black Jamaican player, who grinned when he saw Su Zu coming over, and reached out to touch Su Zu's head, "Hi, Su, you ran too fast behind yesterday and didn't have time to find you, congratulations!" ”

"Thank you!"

Su Zu tilted his head slightly, dodging the other party's big hand that was about to 'ravage' his hair, and instead gently pounded the other party's chest.

"Uh......" Bolt clutched his chest, suddenly showed an exaggerated expression of pain, and pointed a finger at Su Zu, "Su, do you want to kill me in advance so that I can win another 200-meter championship, don't be too greedy, even if I die, Guy, I won't let your plan succeed." ”

Su Zu looked at this joking and noisy living treasure for a while, and Tyson Gay, who was standing behind Su Zu, also smiled after hearing Bolt's words, and said, "That's right, Su, I won't let you succeed." ”

Yesterday completed the men's 100m race, the three won gold, silver and bronze medals respectively, although it was not a happy moment, but the competition atmosphere between each other's needles and Maimang was relatively relaxed.

Although this soothing atmosphere will not last long, and it may start tomorrow in the men's 200m, everyone will be on the same starting line and start to compete, but at this moment, none of the three have thought about those issues.

"Please go this way!"

A crisp voice sounded in the ears of several people, and the female volunteer wearing a jade white series silk satin dress was leaning slightly sideways, reminding a few people who were laughing casually.

It was the first time for many etiquette volunteers to see Su Zu so closely, if it weren't for their duties, I am afraid that at this time, they would have thought of taking a photo or signing an autograph with Su Zu.

At this time, in the Bird's Nest Stadium, the radio sounded loudly.

“…… Welcome to the winners of the men's 100m final! ”

In an instant, the cheers and applause were like exploding fireworks, and thunderous applause rang out in all directions.

When Su Zu followed several hostesses in jade white ceremonial clothes out of the corridor of the mixed area and entered the Bird's Nest Stadium, the audience had already noticed the figures of the three prize winners.

"Su Zu!"

"Su Zu!"

……

"Su Zu—" "Well done! ”

"Su Zu—" "Well done! ”

……

The shouts slowly became neat from chaotic to neat, setting off a small climax in rhythmic applause.

In the light and vivid music co-created by the famous musician Tan Dun and the wind musician Wang Harmony, Su Zu, Usain Bolt, Tyson Gay and others successively walked behind the bright yellow auspicious cloud podium like a "jade belt auspicious cloud".

The runway in front of the podium was surrounded by media reporters from all over the world, and all of them were aiming their cameras at the three at the moment. The magnesium lights flickered constantly, like the stars in the sky, almost dazzling people's eyes.

The on-site conference broadcast was duly announced by two hosts, a man and a woman, who broadcast to everyone in passionate Chinese and English:

“…… The bronze medal in the men's 100m was won by sprinter from the United States, Tyson Gay, who asked him to take the podium......

Tyson Gay's always unsmiling face was now smiling, and he raised his hands in the air and turned around to salute the stands.

Although he was not the champion or runner-up, a bronze medal on the Olympic podium still made him excited at the moment. The bronze medal and third place on the world's top stage also have considerable weight.

In another plane, he struggled to win an Olympic medal, but in this plane, although he failed to win Suzu and Usain Bolt, he was not empty-handed.

He is still one of the sprinters standing at the top of the planet.

“…… The silver medal in the men's 100m at this Olympics was won by sprinter from Jamaica, Usain Bolt, who asked him to take the podium......"

When Bolt heard his name announced at the conference, he first had a blank face, hugged his chest with one hand and made an "eight" victory gesture with the other on his chin, and then suddenly grinned, showed a mouthful of white teeth, and stood on the podium.

For a player like him, on such a stage, he is almost here to express himself. Playing around, posing, almost without scruples, even if the eyes of the world are on him, he is able to show his personality.

It is impossible to say that Bolt has no regrets after only finishing second in the 100m, but a mature professional athlete has adjusted quite well mentally after a day.

And, in other words, he knows himself very well. He has never actually competed in the 100 meters more than 10 so far. The ambition for the 100m gold medal also came after the New York Grand Prix broke the record, and at that time he really felt that he might be able to fight.

Even if he only won the silver medal now, the result of 9.64 seconds is eye-catching and dazzling.

Standing on the podium, Bolt grinned, but his eyes were more on the hope for the men's 200m race behind, which was his true dream. He's a specialist in the men's 200m, and the next time he finishes on the podium, he'll want to be the tallest on the left-hand side.

After Usain Bolt stood on the podium of the runner-up, the applause, whistles, and cheers of the audience once again entered a new climax.

Whether it is watching the broadcast in front of the TV at the moment, or in the Bird's Nest Stadium, or the audience gathered on the big screen outside the stadium, there is a surge of pride and excitement from the bottom of my heart.

"The winner of the men's 100m gold medal in this Olympic Games is, Chinese athlete, Su Zu!"

When Su Zu heard his name broadcast on the radio of the live conference, he pursed his lips, gently unzipped the sportswear on his body, and jumped on the podium.

Raise your hands in the air and wave in a 360-degree circle to everyone in the stadium.

On the big screen of the Bird's Nest Stadium, it was a big close-up of Su Zu alone at this moment, and on the high-resolution screen, countless people saw Su Zu's eyes slightly red at this moment, and a feeling of crying with joy arose.

Standing on the highest podium, he received the award bouquet and award certificate composed of 9 Chinese red moon seasons in the hands of Mr. Deng Chuan, President of the Chinese Olympic Organizing Committee, and bowed his head to Thomas Bach, Vice President of the International Olympic Committee, to hang the gold medal.

At this moment, Su Zu only felt that his body trembled slightly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please stand and play the national anthem of the People's Republic of China!"

The solemn and high-pitched voice of the conference radio host came from the loudspeakers in every corner of the venue.

The sound of a bang, almost like a torrential rain, was the sound of the entire audience of 90,000 people standing up at the same time.

Six standard-bearers in white uniforms marched into the stadium in a neat and high-spirited procession, and the solemn and sacred "March of the Volunteers" sounded.

This is the only time since the Olympic Games that the Bird's Nest National Stadium has sounded the "March of the Volunteers".

In the sound of passionate and majestic music, a five-star red flag rose on the flagpole.

"Get up! People who don't want to be slaves ......"

Su Zu held a bouquet of flowers in one hand and his chest in the other, looking at the raised flag, his heart was surging, and he sang loudly.

At this time, in the Bird's Nest Stadium, in the sound of music, everyone looked at the slowly rising five-star red flag and sang along!

"Get up! People who don't want to be slaves!

Build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall!

The Chinese nation has reached the most dangerous time,

Everyone was forced to let out a final roar.

Get up! Get up! Get up!

We are all of one,

Braving enemy fire, advance!

Braving enemy fire, advance!

Advance! Forward, Forward! ”

Impassioned, tragic and majestic.

More than 90,000 people in the audience sang at this moment.

There are loud voices, some small voices, some low voices, some hoarse voices, some old people, some children, some women, some young people,

But at this moment, everyone has only one identity.

Whether it is inside or outside the Bird Talent Stadium, or the audience in front of the TV, just for a moment, they can't help but stand up and sing along.

Tens of thousands, 100,000 people sang together because he let the "March of the Volunteers" play in the Bird's Nest, he had never experienced it before, and he didn't know if it would ever happen again.

This scene he once dreamed of and longed for

Now, everything really appeared in front of him, and Su Zu had tears in his eyes unconsciously.

Suzu has won the Athens Olympic championship, won the World Championships, and won many, many championships, but only for a moment, he felt the weight and value of this gold medal.

The five-star red flag flutters in the wind, and how loud the victory song is, singing about our dear motherland, and from now on to prosperity and strength!

I run for myself, and for you, the Motherland!
