Chapter 626: The Flame Is Lit

After passing through the hands of four retired Olympic champions, and through the hands of two current Olympic champions, Chen Yanqing and Guo Jinjin, the Olympic flame was handed over to the penultimate athlete. This athlete is Lin Dan, a player from the Chinese badminton team! ”

"The Chinese badminton team once dominated the world badminton world in the 80s of the last century, lifting the Thomas Cup and the Uber Cup several times, and even at the 1987 World Championships in Beijing, Chinese badminton players also won all five individual championships."

"In the 90s, although the strength of the Chinese badminton team has declined slightly, it is still a strong force that cannot be ignored in the international badminton world. Especially since the late 90s, the Chinese badminton team has risen again, and a large number of world-class masters have emerged in addition to Ge Fei, Gu Jun, Zhang Jun, Gao Ling, Ji Xinpeng, Gong Zhichao, Lin Dan and so on. ”

"In the previous Olympic Games, the Chinese badminton team has won a total of 8 Olympic gold medals for the country. In recent years, Lin Dan's progress has also been very obvious, and he has become a new generation leader of the Chinese badminton team, not only leading the Chinese badminton team to win the Thomas Cup and Sudirman Cup several times, but also holding the World Cup and World Championships himself. ”

"Lin Dan is still one Olympic gold medal away from achieving his Grand Slam, and hopefully he can achieve his wish at this Olympics. The auspicious cloud scroll slowly stopped again, and the representative of the last active athlete on this aerial track was about to be revealed. ”

"We saw a lot of cheers and applause from the audience, and everyone was cheering for the last athlete to take the stage, yes...... The last athlete to take over the Olympic flame was our "King of Speed" Guo Zizhao! ”

"We saw that after Guo Zizhao received the flame, he was also waving to all the audience. In the past ten years, Guo Zizhao has conquered all the men's sprinting tracks in the world and become the world's greatest male sprinter. However, a unique air runway like today's is estimated to be the first time Guo Zizhao has experienced it! ”

……

"Athletics is the mother of all sports, and it is also the most important and popular sport at the Olympic Games. China's track and field athletes, especially the men's sprint events, have not always been the protagonists of international competitions. In the history of the Olympic Games, China's track and field advantage was previously only women's middle-distance running, and it was able to have a place in the international athletics arena. ”

"But all this has changed dramatically since Guo Zizhao's rise." The commentator was also extremely excited and said, "In the 2000 Sydney Olympics, Guo Zizhao won four Olympic gold medals in men's track and field events. In the last Athens Olympic Games, Guo Zizhao won 6 gold medals in track and field and swimming, becoming the athlete with the most gold medals in the current Olympic Games! ”

Moreover, over the years, Guo Zizhao has never let any world championship be left behind, and has broken all the world records he holds again and again! Just over half a month ago, Guo Zizhao once again set new world records in the men's 100m, 200m dash and 110m hurdles at the IAAF Super Grand Prix and the Golden League! ”

"Under the leadership of Guo Zizhao, China's men's sprinting event has also made amazing progress in recent years, with a large number of athletes such as Chen Yanhao, Liu Feifei, Shi Dongpeng, Chen Haijian, Yang Yaozhou, Xu Ziyu, Hu Kai and Wen Yongyi breaking into the finals of top international competitions."

In addition, the Chinese men's sprint relay team still achieved the "three consecutive championships" of the World Championships and the Olympic Games, creating a world record of 47.38 seconds. Liu Feifei also won the Olympic and World Championships in the men's 110m hurdles event! It can be said that China's men's sprint event has entered the most glorious era! And Guo Zizhao is the greatest track and field athlete of this era! ”

……

"Therefore, it is also a matter of expectation that Guo Zizhao will complete the last baton of the torch handover and light the cauldron of this Olympic Games!" The commentator also continued to say excitedly, "We see that the auspicious cloud scrolls have been fully unfolded, and the cauldron of this Olympic Games is also presented in front of the world." ”

"The torch lighting ceremony was truly ingenious, as the Olympic flame was passed through eight outstanding athletes and finally arrived in front of the cauldron in front of the cauldron after being relayed by eight outstanding athletes. The number 8 symbolizes auspiciousness in Chinese culture! At the same time, it also alludes to the fact that this year is 2008, and it also means that an open China welcomes visitors from all over the world! ”

"These 8 athletes who passed the flame, 4 men and 4 women, 4 old and 4 new, not only symbolize the vigorous development of China's sports industry, passed down from generation to generation, but also represent the eight most representative sports in the development of China's Olympic history, they are shooting, gymnastics, volleyball, table tennis, weightlifting, diving, badminton and track and field!"

"They all represent China's precision, China's skill, China's strength, China's speed, and China's spirit! That is to be fearless of difficulties, tenacious struggle, and win glory for the country! ”

"Now, we see Guo Zizhao walking in front of the cauldron in the air, and the most exciting moment has arrived! Guo Zizhao took a deep breath and steadily lit the fuse in front of him! Huge sparks rose into the air and spread quickly along the outside of the runway above the bird's nest! The commentator also exclaimed, "The huge spark is like a fire dragon, quickly extending back along the aerial track that the eight athletes ran just now!" It's like stepping back in time, everything is so amazing! Everything is so gorgeous! ”

"After the huge fire dragon circled the field over the bird's nest for another week, it plunged headlong into the auspicious cloud torch! Huge flames rise into the air! lit up...... The flame of this Olympic Games has finally been lit under the watchful eye of all people! The whole nest is boiling! The whole bird's nest suddenly became a sea of red and a sea of joy! ”

"The hearts of the entire 1.3 billion Chinese people are beating and jubilating with the Olympic flame, and this is an unforgettable day, a day that all Chinese will always remember!" The Olympic flame finally burned in the sky above the capital......"

……

It's finally done!

Guo Zizhao looked at the Olympic flame beating not far away, and he was also proud. Hey...... The flame of this Olympic Games was lit by himself! Such an opportunity, once in my life, is worth bragging about for a lifetime!

Tut-tut...... Unexpectedly, in this life, due to his own intervention, not only has the final handover of the flame been changed, but even the lighting method of the final cauldron has also been slightly improved! Such a fire dragon soars into the air, circles the field for a week, and then throws itself into the torch, this is the momentum!

Now that the opening ceremony is coming to an end, it's time for Lao Tzu to show his might! Tomorrow's competition is about to begin, and this time, I have to work towards my goal of 8 Olympic gold medals!

Hey...... Phelps, I'm sorry, you're unlucky to meet Lao Tzu in this life!
