MTL - Dad, Please Try a Little Harder-Chapter 170 Seventh
Chapter 170 Chapter 170 The strongest summer worker, Olympic champion!
In 1894, when Coubertin, the father of the Olympics, and 79 representatives from 12 countries decided to establish the International Olympic Committee and create the Olympic movement, this feat once became the object of ridicule.
Especially in the early days of the Olympic Games, Coubertin did not allow women to participate, and left a famous saying that "in sports, the greatest contribution of a woman is to encourage her son to achieve good results instead of breaking records by herself".
At the second Olympic Games, that is, in 1900, due to management confusion, some female athletes "mixed" into the Olympic Games and signed up for the competition. When Coubertin found out, it was too late.
In the end, the "Father of the Olympics" could only accept it.
However, until 1928, when women appeared in track and field, Coubertin was still very angry, insisting that this was contrary to his original intention of resurrecting the Olympics.
However, the general trend of the times is rolling forward. 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 strengthens the game.
The torch is blazing, and the sweat is burning.
Among the higher, faster and stronger motivational sounds, time flies by with passion.
Today, a hundred years later, the Olympic Games has become a festival celebrated by the whole world. The Olympic Movement has also attracted the active participation of more than 200 countries and regions, and is known as "one of the millennium events".
On July 13, 2001, when IOC President Juan Antonio Samaranch called out the name "BJ", the whole country rejoiced, and countless fireworks bloomed over the east.
From that moment on, our slogan changed from "Looking forward to the Olympics" to "Welcome to the Olympics", and people's mentality towards the Olympics also changed subtly along with the development of the country.
On August 8, 2008, BJ's Bird's Nest, director Zhang Yimou presented a shocking opening performance show for audiences all over the world.
The scene of Li Ning walking above the Bird's Nest and lighting the Olympic torch also left a deep impression on audiences all over the world.
For Qian Quan and Ding Linlang, apart from the opening ceremony, the Chinese men's basketball team that left the deepest impression on them was naturally that session.
The two agreed that it was the strongest Chinese men's basketball team.
The further time goes by, the more unshakable this view becomes.
For example, this year, despite the major problems in the professional league, the Chinese men's basketball team almost failed to qualify for the Olympics.
The top eight is even more out of reach.
Even so, when he arrived at the Olympic Village, Qian Quan still watched the basketball team's training on the spot, and was invited by Dayao to play a cameo game within the team.
Considering that he still has important competitions to participate in, he didn't play too aggressively in the confrontation match, but he basically tried to use his own skills to fully adapt to this level of competition.
"Your skills and physical strength have been able to adapt to foreign professional leagues, and you can do some strength training.
"Not to mention becoming the top group, the main starting position is not a big problem. Considering the domestic market, there is still a chance to become an All-Star."
After the confrontation match, the basketball giant commented.
"Very high evaluation," Qian Quan said with a smile, "However, in comparison, I still want to win a medal on the 100-meter track."
"That is also the wish of the people of the whole country."
"Um."
"come on."
"I will."
Afterwards, Qian Quan went to observe the training sites of other projects.
He discovered that many well-known athletes he knew knew him too.
There were even a few who took the initiative to ask him for a group photo.
Turned around and experienced the pre-Olympic atmosphere immersively.
Go back to your room, start a video with Ding Linlang, and describe to her what you saw and heard today.
…
Time soon came to the opening ceremony, and Qian Quan was going to enter the field with the national team.
At the same time, in a place in China called Guangming Town, Qian Quan's parents, future father-in-law and future daughter-in-law were sitting together watching the live broadcast.
They were waiting for the moment when Qian Quan came out.
Not long ago, Qian Quan said in the family group that when he was photographed by the camera, he would wave at the camera. At that time, he was greeting them.
"When will the Chinese team play?" Ye Yunlan asked.
"According to the English alphabet, the Chinese team should be very high." Ding Linlang said.
"According to the English alphabet, why did Greece appear first?"
"Greece is the birthplace of the Olympics, they are the first to play, and the host is the last to play, and the middle is in order."
"oh."
Everyone talked and chatted, and sure enough, a large number of festive, friendly and familiar Chinese reds appeared on the TV screen not long after.
"Here we come!" Ding Linlang said.
"Where is the stone?" Yang Yuhua and Ye Yunlan asked together.
"There!" Ding Linlang was the first to spot Qian Quan's seat, and pointed to the screen.
The four parents soon saw Qian Quan.
"Shitou looks good in this suit." Ye Yunlan said with a smile, more and more like a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law.
"This is the first time he's wearing a suit, he's really handsome!" Yang Yuhua was no longer humble for his son.
Both fathers watched TV with gratified smiles on their faces.
At this moment, the camera caught Qian Quan, and he waved at the camera.
"He is greeting us." Ding Linlang said.
Yang Yuhua and Ye Yunlan waved at the TV at the same time.
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 is not training, he goes to watch the game live, and while watching, he plays a video with Ding Linlang and broadcasts it live to her.
The competition is carried out every day, and the medal leaderboard is updated every day.
At the middle of the competition, the top two gold medals 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 of "the number one Olympic gold medal no longer represents the strength of a country".
This is also a commonplace topic.
As China becomes stronger, 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, hate China inexplicably. This is naturally the result of repeated exaggeration by the media and Hollywood film and television dramas.
It can be said that in the Western world, there is a market for rumors and smears about China, no matter how outrageous.
So, every time they start a general election, playing **** China has become a means of canvassing.
This also shows from the side that the direction of public opinion is bad.
Of course, these are not the worst things. Their real unique skill "remote farming" makes people call it professional.
In this warm atmosphere, the final track and field competition also began.
On July 31st, the first round of the 100-meter trapeze competition kicked off.
According to the rules of this Olympic Games, there are three rounds of the 100-meter race, preliminaries, semi-finals, and finals.
Among them, 24 contestants will be screened out in the preliminaries, and 8 contestants will be screened out in the semi-finals.
The last 8 players compete for the top three.
As in previous years, the attention of the 100-meter competition is still ranked first in the same period.
Qian Quan ran 9.82 seconds in the preliminaries, won the first place in the group, and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.
This result also broke the Asian 100-meter record.
Therefore, when the preliminaries of the 100-meter race ended, the domestic media and even the Asian media began to be restless.
"A new Asian trapeze is born!"
Originally, a few black players who were determined to win the top three also felt a little pressure when they learned that a yellow man opened 9 seconds 8.
However, that's all. In their view, a man of yellow race who ran into 9.82 seconds had already tried his best. In the next two rounds of competition, it would be difficult to make a breakthrough.
same as before.
Therefore, the media outside Asia did not show too much enthusiasm for this.
However, in the 100-meter semi-final, when Qian Quan ran 9.78 seconds, Asia was boiling, and the arrogant Western media also began to focus on the young man from China.
A frightening fact slowly surfaced in their minds:
Yellow people also want to win medals 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.
The calmness and composure shown by Qian Quan during the interview left a very deep impression on them.
Countless expectations and curiosity are brewing.
Then, the 100-meter final kicked off with the attention of hundreds of millions of people.
Originally the game with the highest ratings and the highest attention, because of the continuous miraculous performance of a yellow man, it ushered in the attention of more viewers than ever before.
The live broadcast and social media discussions in various countries have also reached unprecedented popularity.
As many people expect Qian Quan to win, so many people expect him to lose.
Before the official start of the final, there was a light show for about three minutes.
Future-scientific and brilliant light show once again proves to the world that the 100-meter race is the most shining pearl in the track and field crown.
The light show ends and the game begins.
The commentators responsible for the live broadcast of the game from various countries have long been ready to introduce 8 athletes one by one.
7 blacks and one yellow.
Therefore, Qian Quan, who is located in the third lane, is particularly conspicuous.
The tone of the live commentary of the domestic sports station could not conceal the excitement:
"Whether Qian Quan can win us a 100-meter medal tonight, let us wait and see."
Until now, no one dared to expect a gold medal, but just looked forward to a medal.
Game start.
Everyone take their places.
Prepare.
Snapped!
Gunshots!
The eight fastest human athletes set off.
At this moment, no one hides their strength anymore, and everyone has given their talents, skills, and strength to the fullest, and they want to stand out in this globally focused competition.
Qian Quan was in the middle position in the first 50 meters, and rushed into the top three in the 80 meters.
The commentary has begun to roar:
"Top three!! Qian Quan broke into the top three! Can you stay in the last place!"
Before the voice finished, Qian Quan suddenly overtook the other two contestants and sprinted to the first place.
"Money power..."
When the commentator just called out Qian Quan's name, Qian Quan had already crossed the line first.
The first to reach the finish line, the timer shows the time: 9 seconds 66!
"Rush to the first place!"
The commentator finished shouting this sentence, and then shouted:
"Qian Quan won! Qian Quan won! Qian Quan was the first to reach the finish line!
"Champion! Qian Quan won the 100-meter race! He made history! He made history! Qian Quan! He made history! He completed a race that will go down in history!"
The commentators from some Asian countries also explained the game with excitement throughout the whole process, and roared loudly when Qian Quan won the championship.
The social media in China was boiling instantly.
At about the same time, thousands of sentences such as "money and power are awesome" and "fucking trough" were born.
Then,
Weibo crashed.
