Chapter 534: The First Appearance
When it comes to the Beijing Olympics, it is impossible not to mention the Bird's Nest, and the appearance of the National Stadium is also called the "Bird's Nest" because of the shape of the steel structure like a nest.
After the dazzling opening ceremony, the next step was the intense competition.
On the first day of the competition, the first gold medal was won in the shooting event.
Chen Mingming's fellow countryman, as the winner of the women's 10m air rifle Grand Slam, Du Li took on the heavy responsibility of hitting the first gold.
Unfortunately, she lost her performance under too much pressure and only finished fifth.
Chen Mingliang didn't go to the scene to watch it, he watched it in front of the TV, and he noticed that Xiao Du had not yet stepped out of the live broadcast range, and he could already see that she was crying.
The gold medal was taken by Emmons of the Czech Republic.
And the media is also unkind, saying all kinds of things, and some even say that she should not be allowed to compete, because few people can successfully defend their titles in the shooting event.
Failure is one of the most important experiences for an athlete, and with more than 10,000 people participating in this Olympic Games, only 300 or so can really win.
Fortunately, Du Li still has the strength and level, and she still has a chance to save herself.
Luckily, she was able to adjust her form in time in the 50m sporting rifle 3 positions four days later to win an Olympic record!
This made those who have low eyes and low eyes let go of the verbal criticism of her.
Thinking about it this way, Chen Mingliang has four chances to save himself, which is not bad.
Chen Mingliang ushered in his closing game in such a practice stop-and-stop.
August 15, 2008, 9 a.m.
The National Stadium has a capacity of 91,000 people, and at least more than 80,000 people are in attendance, and the crowd is all coming to watch the track and field games.
The first race was the women's heptathlon 100m hurdles, followed by the men's 100m group stage and the men's 100m rematch at 19:45 in the evening.
After the grand opening ceremony, in the past week, the Chinese team has performed extremely dazzlingly, whether it is weightlifting, shooting, fencing, diving, judo have shown good strength, and it is far ahead in the gold medal list.
Finally, a week later, the nest is finally ready for use.
Here, a series of athletics events will begin.
There are two gold medals today, namely the men's shot put and the women's 10,000m.
In the men's shot put, our level is very scummy, really scum, the world record is 23.12 meters, and our players can't even break through the qualifying round, and they are still at the level of about 18 meters.
The hope of the women's 10,000 meters is not very big, Xing Huina has retired, Zhang Yingying and Bai Xue, as newcomers, do not have the strength to impact the Di Baba sisters.
Now the strongest women's 10,000 meters is Ethiopia's T-Dibaba, and her sister E-Dibaba accidentally lost to Xing Huina in the last Olympics, of course, they also have a big sister named G-Dibaba, who is also a sprinter, and her cousin Tulu is the winner of the women's 10,000 meters in the past two Olympic Games.
What a powerful family.
Of course, the most concerned is not the 10,000-meter final, but the men's 100-meter preliminaries.
"There will be Chen Mingming's game later! He was in the third group, and his opponent Usain Bolt was in the first. ”
Everyone in the spectator stands looked at the women's 100m hurdles and discussed with each other.
"Usain Bolt is out!"
When the first group of athletes in the men's 100m heats took the field, the spectators in the stands let out an exclamation in unison.
Usain Bolt, who was in the third lane of the first group, wore a Jamaican jersey and was a little surprised by the eagerness of the scene.
He also participated in the Athens Olympics in 04, but the audience in Greece is not as large as in the capital, and today is the first day of the track and field competition, but the heat is incomparable.
Through the crowd, he seemed to hear someone shouting, "Usain Bolt! ”
In his previous life, although Bolt had broken the world record in the Xtep Grand Prix, the country did not pay much attention to this at that time, and there were not many spectators at the scene, and everyone wanted to see Liu Feiren's game.
After all, domestic players are at a low point at this stage, and they are not able to compete, and for projects that cannot win awards, the audience naturally lacks enough enthusiasm to track down those who are powerful.
Everyone knows Trammell and Robles well, but if you want to ask who Bolt is and who Tyson Gay is, not much is known, and if you are a little more secluded Atkins and Obic Keviru, then almost no one knows.
Now, China has Chen Mingming, and the world record is my brother Liang.
Chen Mingliang lives in hot spots every day, and track and field has become one of the sports that Chinese people pay the most attention to.
And Usain Bolt's sideways world made the Chinese people care about him. After all, everyone thought that this gold medal was a stable->>

Steady, but suddenly such a powerful opponent appeared, not to mention Chen Mingming, even an ordinary person wants to find out.
Of course, in everyone's minds, Chen Mingliang is still the invincible social Brother Liang, although there is an opponent, it is not worth mentioning, this is just like Li Zongwei to Lin Dan, just a foil, just to make the game more exciting.
Usain Bolt entered the arena with no pressure and no other players in the same group, and Daniel Bailly of Antigua and Barbuda was a good athlete but struggled to break 10 seconds.
But after all, it's a group stage, and you don't need to run for 10 seconds, and you can basically run 10.30 seconds to advance to the next round.
Antigua and Barbuda, like Jamaica, is an island nation in the Caribbean, a member of the British Commonwealth, and an all-black country, but the country is too small, with less than 30,000 people, about the size of a township in the country.
The results of the preliminaries were largely unexpected, and Bolt comfortably qualified for the next round with a time of 10.20 seconds.
Everyone knows that for masters, they will not fight too hard in the group stage, and if they break out their strength now, it is likely that they will not have the ability to fight in the finals.
The runners who run the preliminaries as finals are basically first-round runners, and if they can play, they will win, and if they participate in one more game, they will earn it.
As in previous Olympic Games, the men's 100m is also 80 participants, and then 40 athletes advance to the second round of the semi-finals, the specific rules are that the top three in each group advance, and then select the fastest 10 people as the replacement object.
In his previous life, Hu Kai, the eyed man, was promoted to the next round as a replacement object.
Although the Olympics are dense and there are too many wonderful programs to watch, after all, it is the first day of track and field, and Chen Mingliang has made his debut in the competition.
The second group did not disappoint, as there were also familiar players in this group, such as Jamaica's former brother, Asafa Powell, and another person, Collins of St. Kitts and Nevis.
This is another black player from a Caribbean island country, with the same background as Jamaica, but this country is a country that has diplomatic relations with Wanwan, and it is also one of the few fig leafs in Wanwan.
Most of the countries that have established diplomatic relations with Wanwan are located in South America, such as Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Dominica, etc., all of which are unheard of countries.
Asafa Powell, the current world record holder in the 60m, is also eye-catching, as many people also list him as one of Chen's competitors.
However, this product has not achieved results in the competition for a long time, and it is basically about to be scrapped.
Of course, the soft-footed crab was still worthy in the group stage, and he easily advanced with a time of 10.16 seconds.
The first place in the third group was Richard Thomson, who was also a good player from Trinidad and Tobago and a black player from the Caribbean, as if most of the country's names were from this range.
Then in the fifth group, this is Chen Mingming's strong opponent again, Tyson Guy from the United States.
Since his rise to fame at the 2005 World Championships, especially after Justin Gatlin's ban, Tyson Gay has grown rapidly and was Chen's most important rival before Usain Bolt came along.
The game came to the sixth group, and this group was Chen Mingming's playing time.
The history is strikingly similar, in the previous life, Hu Kai appeared in this group, and then entered the next round with a 10.39 second supplement.
Does Brother Liang need to be re-recorded? Joke.
Chen Mingliang was in the second lane, and there was no one in the first lane.
He has not yet walked out of the athletes' passage, and the cheers on the scene have already sounded, all kinds of small horns, all kinds of banners, all kinds of KT boards, all kinds of support materials, all pointing to a key person - Chen Mingming.
This is the first major competition that Chen Mingliang participated in in China, although he is a veteran in the sports world, the shock in his heart still makes people's hearts shake.
The number of spectators at the scene exceeded any previous competition in which Chen Mingliang had participated, and everyone was shouting for the same person - Chen Mingming.
Chen Mingliang was the last to walk out of the athletes' tunnel, and he greeted the audience generously, which was just a simple appearance, but it had already received enthusiastic feedback.
Chen Mingming's opponents have all advanced to the next round, and now it is Brother Liang's turn.
But don't stumble.
Although Chen Mingming's group has the strength of the players, it is not said that it is very strong, and the more competitive ones are the British player Edgar and the American relay Davis Paton, both of whom have the strength to enter the final.
Chen Mingliang stood on the second road, he felt the hot atmosphere of the scene, and endless pride began to emerge in his heart.
It feels good to participate in the competition with the support of the people of the motherland.
Chen Mingliang ran very briskly, he didn't do more extra work, just ran an ordinary and honest preliminaries.
10.20 seconds!
Chen Mingliang also advanced easily.
