Chapter 511: Awards

"Xiaoxi, this time it is you and Wang Fang as the two of you as the Miss of the Award Ceremony, this award ceremony will be grander than the others, so pay attention to your smile and standing posture."

In the preparation lounge of a hostess in the Bird's Nest Stadium, Yuan Chunyan looked at the girl standing in front of her who had been performing very well in training, and said softly.

Yuan Chunyan is the teacher in charge of the training of award ceremony volunteers for the Yenjing Olympic Games, and she is also the person in charge of the award ceremony volunteers.

The training of these volunteers can be said to have taken a lot of effort, from practicing standing, to walking, gait, turning, smiling, everything is a single action, and the volunteers have practiced thousands of times.

For example, in a simple standing position, each etiquette volunteer must wear 5 cm high heels, a book on his head, and a plain white piece of paper between his legs and knees. One stop is an hour, and neither the book nor the paper can be dropped, otherwise it will have to be redone.

There are also requirements for the movement of the tray, the arm is about a fist away from the side waist, and the thumb is exposed outside the tray when holding the tray. The most difficult part of training is controlling the pace and awarding the award. The pace control is that when the award is presented, the distance between several ceremonial award volunteers should be the same after they have walked a certain distance.

The training in these details can be said to have been carried out for several months, and the selected etiquette volunteers, both in appearance and understanding, are basically impeccable, and even Yuan Chunyan thinks that if they put it in any beauty pageant, it is estimated that many people can stand out.

The main reason why I will explain it now is that the men's 100m medal ceremony tonight is too grand and grand.

She didn't know how many people on foreign TV stations watched Ms. Yuan, but she could guess that almost everyone in China would be focusing their attention on the ceremony.

Ye Qin won the gold medal in the men's 100m at the 2008 Yenching Olympics with a record-breaking time, and will undoubtedly be the focus of attention.

Because of this, she hopes that the hostesses under her command can be perfect, and strive not to make the slightest mistake.

"I see, Mr. Yuan." Chen Zixi looked at Yuan Chunyan's gaze, nodded slightly, and his smile was impeccable under the exquisite makeup.

It's just that at the moment, her heart is really not so calm.

She was not originally a volunteer in charge of the men's 100m award ceremony, but after the process was arranged, she specially asked Yuan Chunyan to get this opportunity.

As for how to persuade the other party, in fact, it didn't take too much effort, an alumnus of Shuimu University has been allowed, after all, for people like Yuan Chunyan, they also understand the feelings of some little girls.

At that time, when it was really confirmed that she would be the hostess of the men's 100m award ceremony, Chen Zixi was still a little worried that Ye Qin might not be able to win the gold medal in the end!

In that case, she will be the one who wins the agreement between the two......

However, what she is more worried about is that if Ye Qin can't win the championship, she may have to bear endless pressure!

Not to mention anything else, just what she heard in her daily life as an Olympic volunteer, many people are talking about Ye Qin and whether he can break the record and win the championship!

With such a huge pressure, sometimes she feels an inexplicable feeling of suffocation when she thinks about it, as if 100,000 mountains are overwhelming together.

It's just that Ye Qin really survived, perfect performance, perfect performance!

She didn't see it at yesterday's game, and the work of etiquette volunteers was often not able to move around at will, but at that time, the cheers in the Bird's Nest Stadium almost shook the entire stadium, and countless people chanted Ye Qin's name.

At that time, she held back her excitement, and it was not until the end of the game that she returned to the dormitory to watch the rebroadcast of the game on TV, especially when she saw the action of Ye Qin's finger raised before the game, she laughed and cried again.

She couldn't tell whether she was happy or excited, she just wanted to shed tears.

Wang Fang, whose roommate came to Yanda, looked at her at that time, and she was a little inexplicable.

The two have not seen each other for a while, and with the opening of the Olympic Games, their work has been reversed, and Ye Qin's preparations have also entered a tense period.

Fortunately...... I can finally meet him!

She felt a little excited and a little nervous, but more mixed with a sense of anticipation, to be able to win the gold medal in the midst of all the people's attention, and see him standing on the highest podium!

Thinking of these...... The smile that has been trained for several months and almost half a year seems to be a little uncontrollable......

……

August 17 at 21:45.

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

The stadium has just finished the women's 3,000m steeplechase final, the first Olympic event of the year.

Russian star 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.

After this race, there will be several finals in the women's 100m and 10,000m, but at the moment, it is not the rest of the race that attracts the audience in front of the audience and the TV set, but the victory ceremony that will begin. The medal ceremony of the men's 100m final of this Olympic Games.

After last night's men's 100m final, after a day of fermentation, there are still a lot of people in front of the TV at this moment are still paying attention to this award ceremony, even if everyone has been familiar with various award ceremonies after watching the Olympics recently, but it still can't stop many people from wanting to see the moment when the five-star red flag is raised in the Bird's Nest Stadium.

In a waiting area outside the mixed passage outside the Bird's Nest Stadium, Ye Qin was standing quietly in the middle of the crowd in a brand-new national team uniform, and many Olympic staff and volunteers on both sides glanced at his position from time to time.

"Hey, Ye Qin, I didn't know how welcoming you were when I came to China!"

Standing next to Ye Qin, Yusse Bote, who was also wearing a Jamaican yellow tracksuit, looked around with a smile, and then looked at Ye Qin standing in the crowd, his eyes revealing a bit of surprise and curiosity.

As athletes, they are no strangers to this scene, and it has caused quite a stir in Jamaica.

But compared to a huge country whose capital alone has a population several times larger than the rest of the country, the frenzied atmosphere is still far from it.

So much so that he sometimes wonders if China's most popular sport is the same as Jamaica's, which is also track and field sprinting.

"I'm sure you'll also have a very high profile in my country."

Ye Qin looked at the staff members who were constantly coming and going, and replied with a smile, "Since we started the men's 100m final, all the media has been hyped, and you should be one of the most well-known black athletes in China by now." ”

"Really?"

Euse-Bot grinned, clearly a little unconvinced.

"Really."

Ye Qin nodded very seriously, like all other sports competitions, the first thing that the audience in his country pays attention to must be the athletes of his own country.

But in this process, the opponents and teammates who intersect with the athletes of their own country will receive the attention of many people.

For example, Alan Johnson and Dai Long Robles in the men's 110m hurdles event, because of Liu Yangyu, many people dare not say how familiar they are with these two Liu Yangyu rivals, but basically they have heard the name.

In addition, there are such as Da Yao's teammate Maddie in the NBA, whose fame is to some extent blessed by Da Yao's popularity, so that he also has a lot of supporters in China.

In fact, Ye Qin also believes that with the performance of Yusse Bot and Asafavir, even without himself, he can still have a lot of popularity in China, which is naturally brought about after achieving the top level in a project, and now it is only on this basis that more Chinese people who may not have paid attention to sprinting in the first place have been known by many people through the way he is his opponent.

In the Bird's Nest Stadium, in the anxious waiting of countless people in front of the audience and the TV, a burst of melodious music sounded throughout the venue.

When I heard this music, the audience was a little boiling, and the attention of the audience instantly began to focus.

In previous Olympic Games, the medal ceremony has been a clear symbolic element, indicating that the award ceremony is about to begin, and praising the athletes' fighting spirit and outstanding achievements through a rich and powerful musical language.

The music of the Yanjing Olympic Games award ceremony was composed by the famous composer Tan Dun and Wang Hesheng, and it was the musician Tan Dun who fused the symphony with the original sound of the Zeng Hou Yi chime unearthed in Hubei and the sound of the jade chime, forming the "golden sound and jade vibration, golden and jade unison" as the iconic award music.

This music has been sounded many times in other venues, and Chinese athletes have won gold medals in the Olympic Games many times. But at the Bird's Nest Stadium, this is the first time that a Chinese player has won gold.

The audience was in awe, almost couldn't help but stand up, and all eyes were cast on the entrance of the athletes.

“…… Welcome to the men's 100m winners of the XXIX Olympiad – enter! ”

The sound of the radio resounded throughout the Bird's Nest National Stadium and beyond.

When Yechin, Yousse Bot and Asafavil followed the staff through the corridor of the mixed area and stepped into the Bird's Nest Stadium again, the entrance music composed by composer Wang Harmony sounded at the right time, using symphonic wind instruments, the rhythm is distinct, very infectious, and gives people a cheerful and exciting feeling.

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

"Ye Chin!"

"Ye Chin!"

"Olympic champion!"

"China, we will win!"

……

The shouts went from chaotic to slowly neat, and in the rhythmic applause and shouts, it was actually a small ** before the award ceremony.

“…… Ladies and gentlemen, the men's 100m final medal ceremony is being broadcast for you, and everyone in the venue is immersed in a sea of joy.

This is the first gold medal won by the Chinese team in the track and field event of this Olympic Games, and it is also the heaviest gold medal in the men's 100m. Ye Qin used this record-breaking gold medal to once again declare his absolute dominance in the current men's 100m...... National champion, Asian Games champion, World Championships champion, and now Olympic champion, Ye Qin's every step has rewritten the history of Chinese track and field, the history of Chinese sprinting...... Today is an incomparably solemn and sacred moment, and it will surely be remembered by history......"

The audience in front of the TV was listening to the entrance music that sounded at the scene, and saw the moment Ye Qin entered the venue, and Mu Jiang's excited commentary sounded in everyone's ears again.

Many viewers sitting in front of the TV seemed to be infected by the atmosphere of the TV scene, or some other factor, and couldn't help but stand up from their chairs and sofas.

Feeling the warm atmosphere that seemed to be boiling in the entire stadium, Ye Qin raised his hands high and waved and cheered all the way to the entire venue around him.

With the sound of entrance music, the three of them walked behind the bright yellow auspicious clouds like "jade belt auspicious clouds" one after another.

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.

After standing behind the Xiangyun podium, Ye Qin saw the guests who were holding the award ceremony for them in front of them.

It was a gray-haired and slightly clumsy old man, dressed in a decent suit, and his withered face was full of warm smiles at the moment.

Samaranch!

Even though Ye Qin was not familiar with many bigwigs in many sports circles, he still recognized it at a glance when he saw this old man appear.

As the former president of the Olympic Organizing Committee, this old man has great support for Yanjing's successful bid to host the Olympic Games. China's first table tennis queen became a member of the International Olympic Athletes' Commission on Samaranch's recommendation, and thus became the first Chinese athlete to enter the IOC.

Ye Qin once heard that this old man, in response to the West's support for Yanjing to host the Olympic Games, once said that he would award China's first gold medal in this Olympic Games.

It's just that what he didn't think about was that this old man actually appeared in front of him and was about to award him a gold medal.

Standing next to Yechin, Yusse Bot and Asafavil are also a little excited, Samaranch as a former president of the Olympic Organizing Committee has a huge influence in the world, and at the age of 87 this year, he can come to present several awards, which will undoubtedly be a worthy stroke in his career.

"Huh?"

Just as Ye Qin's eyes fell on the award presenter Samaranch, he suddenly noticed a familiar figure holding a tray next to him.

Wearing a long green stand-up collar tunic skirt and delicate makeup with a happy smile, his eyes kept falling on him.

In an instant, Ye Qin's face was almost filled with the happiest smile.

I stand on the highest podium, you won the gold medal for me, the best thing in the world, nothing more than this!

After the sound of the award music, which combined the agitation of chimes and jade chimes and the tune of "Jasmine", the scene first solemnly introduced the award presenter, Mr. Samaranch, which caused huge applause from the entire stadium.

Then 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 Asafaville from Jamaica, who asked him to finish on the podium......"

Asafavir pursed his lips and slowly walked onto the podium on the right side of the podium in anticipation, raising his hands and signaling to everyone in the room.

“…… The silver medal in the men's 100m at this Olympics was won by Jamaican athlete Usse Bote, who was invited to the podium......

When Yusse Bot heard his name appear, he first hugged his chest with one hand and made a figure-eight gesture on his chin with the other, before suddenly grinning, showing a mouthful of white teeth, and stood on the podium.

The men's 100m race is over, and he is the silver medalist, an honor that is a bit regrettable for him, but also precious. Because this is a result that can win gold in any tournament, but against a stronger opponent!

However, there are still 200 meters left!

After Yusse Bot stood on the podium of the runner-up, the applause, whistles, and cheers of the audience once again entered the most enthusiastic atmosphere.

"The gold medal in the men's 100m at this Olympic Games is the Chinese athlete, Ye Qin!"

The moment he heard his name, Ye Qin seemed to feel a flame in his heart explode suddenly.

All the preparations he had thought about before the race were completely forgotten by this time, and he just took a light breath, pulled the hem of his clothes, and jumped onto the podium.

A 360-degree wave to all the spectators in the venue, and a loud noise pierced the sky.

"Congratulations, kid, you've only seen you in the ring!"

With a somewhat slow step, Samaranch walked up to Ye Qin and reached out to shake Ye Chin's hand.

At this time, Chen Zixi, who was wearing a green stand-up collar tunic dress, walked over with a tray at the right time.

Her steps were steady, her movements were light, and her every move was full of beauty, but the moment Samaranch picked up the gold medal from the tray, her eyes unconsciously fell on Ye Qin again.

Yechin, you did it!

You've become the number one in the world!

The boy who ran from the ridge path in the countryside to the river beach and the mountains and forests finally ran all the way to the highest stage in the world!

You're like this, even I never dreamed of it!

And Ye Qin also looked at her at the moment when he bowed his head and accepted the gold medal!

I see you!

……

"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.
