Chapter 170: The Strongest Summer Worker, Olympic Champion!
In 1894, when Coubertin, the father of the Olympic Games, and 79 delegates from 12 countries decided to establish the International Olympic Committee and create the Olympic Movement, this feat became the object of ridicule.
Especially in the early days of the Olympic Games, Coubertin did not allow women to compete, and left behind a famous quote that "in sports, a woman's greatest contribution is to encourage her son to achieve great results rather than to break records herself".
By the second Olympic Games, in 1900, due to the confusion in management, some female athletes "mixed" into the Olympics and signed up for the competition, and by the time Coubertin found out, it was too late.
In the end, the "father of the Olympics" can only accept it.
However, as late as 1928, when women appeared in athletics, Coubertin was furious, insisting that it was against his original intention to resurrect the Olympiates.
However, with the increasing influence of the Olympic Games, the development of women's sports has become an irreversible torrent of the times.
This, in turn, has strengthened the event.
The torch is blazing, and the sweat is burning.
In the sound of higher, faster, stronger motivation, time flies by with enthusiasm.
Today, 100 years later, the Olympic Games have become a festival celebrated by the whole world, and the Olympic movement has also attracted the active participation of more than 200 countries and regions, and is known as "one of the grand events of the millennium".
On July 13, 2001, when IOC President Samaranch shouted the name "BJ", the whole country rejoiced and countless fireworks exploded in the sky above the East.
From that moment on, our slogan changed from "looking forward to the Olympics" to "welcoming the Olympics", and people's mentality towards the Olympics has also undergone subtle changes with the development of the country.
On August 8, 2008, BJ Bird's Nest, director Zhang Yimou presented a shocking opening ceremony performance show to audiences all over the world.
The picture of Li Ning walking over the Bird's Nest to light the Olympic torch also left a deep impression on audiences around the world.
For Qian Quan and Ding Linlang, in addition to the opening ceremony, the most impressive thing for them was naturally the Chinese men's basketball team that year.
The two agreed that it was the strongest Chinese men's basketball team.
The more time passes, the more unshakable this view becomes.
For example, this year, there was a big problem in the professional league, and the Chinese men's basketball team almost failed to qualify for the Olympics.
The quarterfinals are even more out of reach.
Even so, after arriving at the Olympic Village, Qian Quan still observed the basketball team's training on the spot, and was invited by Da Yao to play a cameo appearance in an intra-team match.
Considering that he still has important matches to participate in, he didn't play too fiercely in the matchup, but he basically tried his skills to fully adapt to this level of competition.
"Your skills and physical strength are enough to adapt to the professional leagues abroad, so you just need to do some strength training.
"Not to mention being the top batch, the main starting position is not a big problem, considering the domestic market, there is still a chance to become an all-star."
After playing the match, the basketball giant commented.
"Very high," Qian Quan said with a smile, "However, in comparison, I still want to win a medal in the 100-meter course." ”
"That's what the people of the whole country want."
"Hmm."
"Come on."
"I will."
Subsequently, Qian Quan went to observe the training sites of other projects.
He discovered that many of the well-known athletes he knew knew him.
There were even a few who took the initiative to ask him for a photo.
I took a turn and immersed myself in the atmosphere before the Olympic Games.
returned to his room, opened a video with Ding Linlang, and described to her what he saw and heard today.
……
The time soon came to the day of the opening ceremony, and Qian Quan wanted to enter with the national team.
At the same time, in a place called Guangming Town in China, Qian Quan's parents, future father-in-law, mother-in-law, and future daughter-in-law were sitting together watching the live broadcast.
They were waiting for the moment when Qian Quan appeared.
Not long ago, Qian Quan said in the family group that when the camera caught him, he would wave to the camera, and at that time, he was greeting them.
"When will the Chinese team play?" Ye Yunlan asked.
"In alphabetical order, the Chinese team should be very high." Ding Linlang said.
"In alphabetical order, why is Greece the first to appear?"
"Greece is the birthplace of the Olympic Games, they are all the first to play, the hosts are the last to play, and the middle is in order."
"Oh."
Everyone talked and chatted, and sure enough, not long after, a large festive, cordial, and familiar Chinese red appeared on the TV screen.
"It's coming!" Ding Linlang said.
"Where are the stones?" Yang Yuhua and Ye Yunlan asked together.
"There!" Ding Linlang was the first to discover Qian Quan's seat and stretched out his hand to point to the screen.
The four parents soon saw the money power as well.
"The stone looks good in this." Ye Yunlan said with a smile that she is becoming more and more like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.
"This is the first time he's wearing a suit, and he's really handsome!" Yang Yuhua is no longer humble for his son.
Both dads were watching TV with a smile on their faces.
At this moment, the camera swept to Qian Quan, and he waved at the camera.
"He's greeting us." Ding Linlang said.
Yang Yuhua and Ye Yunlan waved at the TV in unison.
Ding Linlang also shook his hand quietly, his eyes full of longing.
……
After the opening ceremony, the 33rd Olympic Games officially began.
When Qian Quan wasn't training, he went to watch the game on the spot, and opened a video with Ding Linlang while watching, and broadcast it live to her.
The competition is played day by day, and the medal leaderboard is updated day by day.
By the middle of the competition, the top two gold medalists began to be contracted by China and the United States.
In the middle and late stages, China once ranked first.
At this time, some Western media began to exaggerate the topic that "the first Olympic gold medal no longer represents the strength of a country".
It's a cliché.
With the strength of China, the mainstream of public opinion in the Western world, led by the United States, has begun to fully oppose China.
Many Western people who don't even know where China is, inexplicably hate China, which is naturally the result of repeated exaggeration by the media and Hollywood film and television dramas.
Suffice it to say that in the Western world, there is a market for rumors and smears about China, no matter how outrageous.
So every time they start to hold a general election, playing China has become a means of canvassing votes.
This also illustrates the bad direction of public opinion from the side.
Of course, the worst thing is not these, their real unique "remote farming" is what makes people call it professional.
In this warm atmosphere, the finale of the track and field competition also began.
On July 31, the first round of the 100-meter trapeze battle began.
According to the rules of this Olympic Games, there are three rounds of the 100-meter race, including the preliminaries, the semi-finals, and the finals.
Among them, 24 players will be screened in the preliminaries, and 8 players will be screened in the semifinals.
In the end, these 8 players competed for the top three.
As in previous years, the attention of the 100m race is still ranked first in the same period.
Qian Quan ran a time of 9.82 seconds in the preliminaries, won the first place in the group, and successfully advanced to the semifinals.
This result also set a new Asian record in the 100m.
Therefore, when the preliminaries of the 100-meter battle are over, the domestic media, and even the Asian media, have begun to be restless.
"A new Asian trapeze is born!"
The black runners who were originally aiming for the top three also felt a little pressure when they learned that a yellow man opened 9.8 seconds.
However, that's all, in their opinion, a yellow man running 9.82 seconds has done his best, and it is difficult to break through in the next two rounds.
Same as before.
As a result, the media outside of Asia has not been overly enthusiastic about it.
However, in the 100-meter semi-finals, when Qian Quan ran a time of 9.78 seconds, Asia was boiling, and the arrogant Western media began to focus on the young man from China.
A frightening fact slowly came to their minds:
The yellow race is also going to win a medal in the 100-meter race?
The Chinese are going to win medals in the 100-meter race?
This is not a simple game, but a counterattack of human talent.
And Qian Quan's calmness and calmness in the face of the interview left a deep impression on them.
Countless anticipations and curiosities are brewing.
Then, the 100-meter final kicked off with hundreds of millions of people watching.
The game, which originally had the highest ratings and the highest attention, ushered in the attention of more viewers than ever before because of the continuous miracle performance of a yellow race.
Live streaming and social media discussions in various countries have also reached unprecedented popularity.
As many people as they look forward to winning with money, there are as many people as they expect him to lose.
Before the finals officially begin, there is a light show of about three minutes.
The brilliant light show full of futuristic science and technology once again proved to the world that the 100-meter race is the most brilliant pearl in the crown of track and field.
The light show is over and the game begins.
The commentators in charge of broadcasting the game from each country have been waiting for a long time, and they are introducing the eight athletes one by one.
7 blacks, 1 yellow.
Therefore, the money power located in the third lane is particularly conspicuous.
The tone of the live broadcast commentary of the domestic sports station could not hide the excitement:
"Whether Qian Quan can win us a 100-meter medal tonight, let's wait and see."
Until now, everyone did not dare to expect a gold medal, just a medal.
The game begins.
Each in place.
Preparation.
Syllable!
Gunshots!
Eight of the fastest human athletes set off.
At this moment, no one is hiding their strength anymore, everyone has all the talent, skill and strength to make their mark in this global spotlight competition.
Qian Quan was in the middle of the middle in the first 50 meters, and at 80 meters, he was in the top three.
The narration has begun to roar:
"Top Three!! Qian Quan rushed into the top three! Can you keep the road to the end!! ”
Before the voice fell, Qian Quan overtook the other two players and sprinted to the first position.
"Money Power ......"
When the commentator just shouted Qian Quan's name, Qian Quan had already taken the lead in crossing the line.
The first one to reach the finish line, the timer shows the time: 9.66 seconds!
"Rush to the first!"
The narrator finished shouting this sentence, and then shouted:
"Money Power wins! Money right wins! Qian Quan was the first to rush to the finish line!
"Champion! Qian Quan won the championship in the 100-meter race! He made history! He made history! Money right! He made history! He completed a race that went down in history! ”
The commentators of some Asian countries also excitedly explained the game throughout the whole process, and shouted loudly at the moment when Qian Quan won the championship.
Social media in China was boiling in an instant.
At about the same time, thousands of words such as "money and power are awesome" and "slot" were born.
And then
Weibo collapsed.
