"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome Mr. Hu, President of the People's Republic of China, and Mr. Yat-Borg, President of the International Olympic Committee, ......"

On the evening of August 24, 2008, fireworks rose over the Yanjing Bird's Nest National Stadium and the Water Cube Natatorium, which was separated by several streets, lighting up the entire night sky.

In the Bird's Nest Stadium, where 90,000 people were located, the three Chinese languages introduced each other, and the head of state and the president of the International Olympic Committee stood up and waved to the many spectators present.

In the voice of the host of the scene, "please stand up, raise the Chinese national flag, and play the Chinese national anthem...... the audience, the audience left their seats and stood up to look at the center of the entire Bird's Nest Stadium.

The solemn sound of the national anthem sounded, the national honor guard in the center of the stadium raised the red flag, and many Chinese spectators who came to watch the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games spontaneously sang the national anthem loudly in the music.

The national flag fluttered high, and the audience was boiling, and the applause was like thunder.

From the opening ceremony to today, China, as the organizer of the Yenching Olympic Games, has achieved perfection in all aspects, and the more than 50 gold medals at the top of the list have made people see China's great power heritage and unparalleled sports strength.

Ye Qin stood in the waiting area outside the Bird's Nest Stadium, watching every move in the stadium through the big screen played to the athletes.

For him, the Olympics weren't perfect, and there was at least one 200m that he didn't finish, but that's all in the past.

Competing in the world's highest competitive sport on the territory of your own country, from the day you step on the runway, never really thought it would be possible.

And now this grand event is coming to an end, and the results of two golds and one silver still seem like a dream to him.

Beside Ye Qin, Yang Yao, Zhang Peimeng, Su Bingtian and other athletes from the track and field team couldn't help but tremble a little at this moment.

The Olympics are over!

We did our best and did the best!

After so many days of playing, sometimes looking back on it, it feels unreal, but it happened so really.

This is our enthusiasm and youth, in this competition, there are the honors of getting the cheers of the audience and the podium, and there are also mistakes that fail to show their strength perfectly.

Now it's coming to an end!

A short video of the promotional image on the big screen of the Bird's Nest Stadium appeared in front of everyone's eyes, followed by the sound of music, the lights gradually dimmed, and the actors on the stage who presented gifts for the closing ceremony began to perform.

Throughout the grandstand that surrounds the stadium, countless magnesium lights flicker, constantly photographing the various performances in the center of the stage.

About twenty minutes later, several warm-up performances ended, and the entire Bird's Nest stadium once again resounded with thunderous applause.

Many athletes and coaches, who had been waiting outside the stadium for a long time, entered the Bird's Nest Stadium under the guidance of the flag bearers and volunteers in front.

The atmosphere of the audience came to the climax at this time!

Ye Qin and the people of the track and field team almost jumped and jumped in, and when the cameraman pointed at him, he pulled Su Bingtian and Zhang Peimeng to wink at the camera, and immediately amused all the viewers who saw this scene in front of the TV.

After many award-winning athletes and coaches entered, they quickly lined up according to the guidance of the staff, and the fiery atmosphere in the whole venue gradually quieted down.

In the closing ceremony, the most solemn award ceremony will begin soon.

Men's marathon victory ceremony.

The three most watched track and field events in an Olympic Games are the 100-meter sprint, the 4×100-meter relay and the marathon.

On the red carpet, the three runners behind the podium, who won the gold, silver and bronze medals in the marathon, Samuel Wanjiru of Kenya, Gharib of Morocco and Tsei Kaibede of Ethiopia, were already standing there.

In this year's marathon, the marathon world record holder, the legendary Ethiopian marathon runner Haile Gebreselassie, did not participate, which can be said to be the biggest regret of this men's marathon final.

However, men's marathon champion Samuel Wanjiru still brought a huge surprise to the athletics world, becoming the first Kenyan athlete to win a marathon at the age of 22. This is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for a traditional long-distance running powerhouse like Kenya.

Born in a poor town, he dropped out of school at the age of 12 because he couldn't afford the tuition, and later moved to Japan because of his athletic talent, received professional training, won multiple cross-country championships, and broke the half marathon world record three times from 2005 to 2007, becoming a rising track and field star in the international athletics world. (The Olympic marathon champion is mentioned here because he fell from a balcony and died during a 2011 conflict in Kenya, and the police are still unsure whether it was suicide or homicide.) Marathon runners are usually at their peak after the age of 30, and if he were still alive, Wanjiru might actually be the first runner to run two hours. ）

To the rousing music of the awards, the IOC President presented awards to each of the three athletes.

Compared with other events, there is no doubt that the award ceremony of this marathon is undoubtedly the highest standard, so much so that many athletes still can't help but feel very excited when they think of themselves when they see such a scene.

After the speeches of the national leaders, the mayor of Yanjing and the chairman of the Olympic Organizing Committee, the flag-raising ceremony came again in the track and field field.

This time it is the flag of the United Kingdom, the host of the next Olympic Games, and when the rice flag is raised, it also officially means that Yanjing will hand over the right to host the Olympic Games to the next city, London.

"Ye Chin, the next Olympics, London, I must go!"

"Yes, I'm going to make it to the semi-finals and the third round!"

Su Bingtian and Zhang Peimeng, who were standing beside Ye Qin, had slightly red eyes, and suddenly shouted loudly beside Ye Qin.

"Good!"

Ye Qin stretched out his hand to put his arm around the shoulders of the two, he had not participated in the closing ceremony at the Athens Olympics, and he did not have such a strong impulse at that time.

And this time the Yenching Olympics showed a completely different scenery in front of everyone.

The top podium, the strongest competitors, the global attention, when you are in the middle of it, you will be nervous, you will be excited, there will be a lot of emotions, but when you look back, you will always find that you can do better!

"Four years later, let's go to London together!"

Ye Qin shouted at a few people with a smile, and as he spoke, he turned his head to look at Yang Yao who was not far away.

Yang Yao smiled and clapped his hands, looking at the three people who were extremely emotional, listening to their young and heroic spirit, his eyes couldn't help but flash when he entered the national team and ran 200 meters.

At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, when no one in the Chinese team reached the standard for participation in the men's sprint event, Yang Yao was a fledgling and set a goal for himself, that is, to participate in the Olympic Games.

At Athens 2004 he ran the second round in the 200m, and at 2008 he ran the second round in the 200m, and also won a silver medal in the 4×100m relay.

There may be regrets in life, but in eight or nine years, he has grown from an ignorant teenager to the big brother of the national track and field team, and it is actually very good to be here!

Looking at the three people with high ambitions, they are just like their former selves!

No, it should be said that it is far more than the former self!

May you all be well, may our athletics get better and better, and may our motherland get better and better!

Yang Yao looked at the boiling and lively scene in the audience, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and thought silently in his heart.
