Chapter 030: Blanket and Murmur
The opening ceremony began on the afternoon of September 22, followed by the preliminary rounds of some events, and there were no gold medals on the first day.
The main news of the TV media on the 22nd has already revolved around the opening ceremony of the Asian Games. Because of the lag, the newspaper media will not report on the opening ceremony until the 23rd.
Most of the major newspapers in the capital on September 22 were the exchange reports of various Asian Games delegations, among which the news of the junior table tennis team of Shichahai Sports School, which dared to fight and defeated the South Korean junior team, was placed in a prominent position.
Kong Zhendong and Liu Guobang, as mysterious teenagers, swiped a wave of prestige.
On September 23, the first day of competition began, and a number of important events were contested for gold medals.
This year's Asian Games will try to be on par with the Olympic Games in terms of competition format and schedule, and the first competition is swimming and shooting.
First of all, the shooting team represented by Wang Yifu won more than two-thirds of the championships in different positions including air pistols and rifles, rapid fire and horizontal shooting.
What is even more commendable is that many shooting athletes have won more than two gold medals, reflecting their comprehensiveness and dominance.
After the fourth day of the competition, Chinese female athlete Zhou Lingling broke the world record in the indoor cycling one-kilometer race, which not only shocked the entire Asian Games, but also fed back the results to Europe, so that the traditional European cycling powers, the British team, and the French team were shocked.
Of course, soon, the men's and Korean archery team showed a stronger dominance than the Chinese table tennis in later generations. They broke the previous team archery world record in the preliminaries.
Subsequently, the South Korean team surpassed itself in the semi-finals and finals, breaking the world record they had just set twice, and the scenery was unlimited.
However, in the first five days of the race, all these legends and records are not as good as a magical team, the Chinese swimming team!
Before the Asian Games, the Chinese swimming team had never been a strong team on the world stage.
At the 88 Hancheng Olympics, China's swimming performance was mediocre.
However, after the National Sports Commission hired a gold medal coach from East Germany last year, the results of the Chinese swimming team have also become magical.
In the domestic trials before the Asian Games, the five golden flowers, the magical performance of China's flying fish, has been sporadically seen in the newspapers.
Therefore, the people of the whole country have psychological expectations for the swimming team to achieve good results.
However, no one thought that this result would be so 'good' and so magical!
The Chinese swimming team won 23 gold medals, of which the women achieved all 13 events, and the men only gave up a few ultra-long events above 800 meters to the West Asians with stronger lung capacity.
Among them, Shen Qiangren, known as the prince of Asian swimming, won five gold medals alone, and his all-around achievements may only be strong by Phelps.
Zhuang Ming, the goddess of swimming, won four golds and one silver, ranking second in the Asian Games multi-gold list.
In stark contrast to the total domination of the Chinese swimming team, the Japanese team, the traditional ruler of Asian swimming, has nothing to gain!
The miraculous performance of the Chinese swimming team not only shocked the whole of Asia, but also shocked the entire world swimming world.
Because the Chinese golden flowers not only won the championship, but also broke a number of world records set by Europeans and Americans.
From obscure in '88 to multiple world records in '90, more European and American sports journalists are flocking to China to learn about the magic of how to achieve results.
The domestic media uniformly used Chinese swimming to catch up with the world's speed overnight to carry out a wide range of reports.
Such an achievement is unacceptable to the Japanese, and the European and American media also have black material about the past of the East German championship coach.
As a result, the European and American media, together with the Japanese and South Korean media, began to openly question the achievements and strength of the Chinese swimming team in the international public opinion circles.
As a result, the Chinese swimming team's miraculous championship has faced the repeated blows of internal and external reports.
Kong Zhendong heard of this controversy in later generations, but Ye Xiaoya didn't know about it.
Although Ye Xiaoya likes the table tennis world champions the most, even if the table tennis champions play superbly at the World Table Tennis Championships, they will only win the team, singles, doubles, and mixed doubles championships at most. In the history of the World Table Tennis Championships, no one at home or abroad has been able to achieve it.
In the Olympic Games, where there are fewer competitions, being able to win two gold medals in one session is already considered a pinnacle of success.
Compared with the gold maniats who won gold for two yuan per capita and four or five yuan per capita, Ye Xiaoya pulled Kong Zhendong to pay tribute to them.
Kong Zhendong stopped Ye Xiaoya, he didn't want to get close to this team that had already been praised to the altar.
Is there any ulterior to their championship results? This is an extremely serious question.
In the face of such major issues of right and wrong, the international sports community follows the principle of never suspecting a crime, and any doubts must be substantiated.
There is no empirical evidence from the European media and the Japanese and South Korean delegations.
In this battlefield where all parties wrestle, the three forces crisscross each other. First of all, it can be speculated that there may be forces that use special means to improve the performance of athletes for the sake of political performance and supreme honor. Second, there are ultra-fairist forces that have a firm belief in their hearts, believe in the absolute purity of the movement, and shoot to death any unfair competition.
But is this just a matter of choosing between right and wrong? If this is all there is, Kong Zhendong will not hesitate to go to the clear stream and cleanse the filth.
The most powerful force in this world is the force that disguises itself as a clear stream and shakes and lashes the first institutional force.
Such an example is an incomparably vivid example of the encirclement and suppression of Tsarist Russia in North America in later generations.
In the face of such a terrifying force with its own clear purpose, even if Mi Xingbang in later generations has achieved the ultimate of athletes, coaches, and the official extreme of Yuan mobilization within the sports system, he can only tremble and walk on thin ice in the face of similar whirlpools.
Not to mention Kong Zhendong who has small arms and legs now, in such a huge whirlpool, he is not even qualified to fight the wind and waves.
Although international public opinion pointed out that Sang scolded Huai for the quarrel, it is a pity that there is no empirical evidence, and the domestic media have the unique ability to filter foreign media reports, and the criticism from abroad has not stirred up a trace of waves among the people at home.
However, such a huge question still has a huge impact on the Chinese Asian Games delegation. Correspondingly, weightlifting, track and field, wrestling and other sports that require a high level of strength and speed are all facing great pressure.
At this moment, the Chinese team needs an unquestionable champion who does not have a dispute over special stimulation methods, and China needs such a crushing victory to slap the world in the face.
Who will carry such a thousand pounds of burden?
All the sports teams and senior leaders will have their eyes fixed on the table tennis team competition that has already started!
