Chapter 489: The First Gold (Compensation 6)

Sebastian sat in front of his computer, reading what the world's media had to say about the opening ceremony of the London Olympics. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Britain's own media, of course, said yes, and the Times gave the title "Best Performance" and praised Boyle, the director of the opening ceremony of the London Olympics.

Other major British media outlets, such as The Sun, The Independent, The Guardian, Sky TV, and other major British media, also praised the opening ceremony of the London Olympics with words such as "the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games" and "all Britons have found the same spiritual home".

Foreigners, however, are not as self-touting as the British.

Here's what the Associated Press put it: Music was the biggest feature of the opening ceremony. At the opening ceremony, which was themed "Wonderful Island", musical elements ran through it like a river. The opening ceremony was more like a music record player.

Compared to the Associated Press, the New York Times gave a straightforward headline of "cheesy history lessons, the British crossed over", and they called the opening of the British's "Neverland" full of quirky features.

Germany's ZDF TV criticized that in order to ensure the effect of the opening ceremony, the director did not hesitate to let the queen also be an actor, and also moved out the old-fashioned James Bond and the Beatles.

"Some guys who can't eat grapes and say they are sour." Sebastian looked at the critical voices and pouted in disdain.

Sebastian then opened the latest gold medal table, only to see that the first position had been occupied by the Chinese flag.

"Did the Chinese team win the first gold medal?" Sebastian looked at his watch, it was not yet 11 o'clock in the morning, and the first gold medal of the London Olympics was won by the Chinese team.

"It should be the women's air rifle, and the Chinese team has always been very strong in this event. But don't worry, road cycling is already underway, and if we can take the top three, we in Great Britain can take the gold and silver medals to the top of the standings! Sebastian thought silently.

At this time, the voice of the phone rang, and Sebastian answered the phone, his expression suddenly became panicked.

The call was from Buckingham Palace, from Her Majesty's attendant, who was asking when Britain's first gold medal would be born. Obviously, it is not the attendants who want to know about this, but His Majesty wants to know about it.

"There are six gold medals going on at the Olympics today, and in road cycling, we have a good chance of winning the gold medal and maybe even finishing in the top three! Our lineup, which includes this year's Tour de France champion Wiggins, Tour de France runner-up Fromm, and Tour de France sprint champion Cavendish are arguably the best in the world right now. Sebastian continued: "But the game has only been an hour into the game and the whole game will not be finished until after 4pm. ”

"Buckingham Palace looks forward to your good news." The other party responded politely.

Hanging up the phone, Sebastian himself felt a little nervous.

"We have such a strong line-up, we should be able to win the road cycling championship! Wiggins has just won the Tour de France and is in great form, while Fromm is on the rise. These two are both Sky Team drivers, since they are teammates, they must cooperate with each other very tacitly, even if they can't win the top three, it is good to win the top two, at least our British team can become the first in the gold medal table! Sebastian suddenly felt a little excited when he thought of this.

"It would be great for our hosts to win the gold medal table on the first day of the Olympics!"

Thinking of this, Sebastian picked up the phone and dialed the supervisor of the Boulevard workspace.

"I'm Sebastian, and I'll tell you the results as soon as the road bike race is over!"

……

Not far from Buckingham Palace, there is Clarence Palace, where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lives.

At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was facing the mirror, sorting out his clothes.

"Your Highness, are you really going to the Boulevard?" The attendant next to him asked.

"Yes, Buckingham Palace has already communicated with President Sebastian that our first gold medal for the British team will be awarded there, and of course I want to congratulate our athletes." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spoke.

"I think our contestants will be very touched to see you here." The squire said with a smile on his face.

"Hehe, Wiggins won this year's Tour de France, he is the first British cyclist to win the Tour de France, and we are the pride of the British! I'd love to see him continue to bring glory to his country and win his first gold medal at the London Olympics for Great Britain! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince spoke.

……

Road bikes in the Olympic Games generally take a circular route or a round-trip route, so the boulevard at the starting point is also the end point of the race.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the 6,000 spectator seats on the boulevard were already full, and as long as there were people who could stand, they were all full of people. The press section was even more crowded, with ninety percent of them British.

Cycling is a strong sport in the UK, and the men's road cycling competition is likely to produce the hosts' first gold medal at the Games, so many British spectators came to the boulevard to see the British team's first gold medal in person.

In the distance, there was a burst of cheers, which made the spectators at the finish realize that the runners had arrived.

"It's coming! It's coming! The audience craned their necks and looked into the distance.

"Who is it? Who could it be! ”

"Wiggins, it must be Wiggins!"

"Fromm can too!"

"Maybe it's Cavendis!"

"Better Wiggins, Fromm and Cavendish to finish in the top three!"

"The player has turned around! Who is it? Who is the first? ”

"Can't you see clearly, is it a blue and white uniform?"

The British team's uniform is white, the pants and sleeves are dark blue, and the neckline is red, which is exactly the three colors of the Union Jack. All the spectators would call it the blue and white uniform.

"People with binoculars, take a look, it's not our player!" The surrounding audience suddenly looked expectantly at a viewer with a telescope around his neck.

At this time, the viewer is also aiming the telescope into the distance.

"How? Is it a blue-and-white jersey? ”

"Is that our player?"

"It's not a blue-and-white uniform." The viewer then said, "It's red!" The clothes for the first place are red! ”

"Red? Which country's players wear red uniforms? ”

"Spain! I remember the Spanish jersey was red! ”

Spain is also a powerhouse in road cycling, and they are also eligible to send five riders. Spain's jersey is red with yellow sleeves, which is also the main color of the Spanish flag.

"Spaniards? The lead turned out to be the Spaniards! The surrounding audience suddenly had a look of loss.

"No, it's not a Spaniard, it's not a Spanish flag on that man! Red flag with yellow stars on it! ”

"The red flag, the yellow star, is the flag of China! That's the Chinese! ”

"Chinese? Does anyone in China participate in road cycling? ”

"I remember, it's Zhang Guan! How did I forget about him! He was the winner of last year's Tour de France! ”
