Born to Run - Chapter 524

“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Mr. Hu, Chairman of China, Mr. Yate-Borg, Chairman of International Olympic Committee…”

On the evening of August 24, 2008, over the Yanjing Bird’s Nest National Stadium and the Water Cube Swimming Pool, which is separated by several streets, fireworks rose, illuminating the entire night sky.

In the Bird’s Nest Stadium, where 90,000 people were located, the three languages ​​were introduced. The heads of state and the president of the International Olympic Committee stood up and waved to the crowds present.

In the voice of the host “Please stand up, raise the Chinese flag, and play the Chinese national anthem…”, the audience left their seats and stood up and looked towards the center of the Bird’s Nest Stadium.

The solemn and solemn national anthem sounded, and the national honor guard in the stadium center raised the red flag. Many Chinese spectators who came to watch the closing ceremony of the Olympics in the stadium sang the national anthem spontaneously along with the sound of music.

The national flag fluttered high and the audience was about to boil and applause was thunderous.

From the opening ceremony of the Yanjing Olympics to today, China, as the organizer, has achieved perfection in all aspects. The more than 50 gold medals at the top of the list have made people see China’s great power and unparalleled sports strength.

Standing in the waiting area outside the Bird’s Nest Stadium, Ye Qin watched every move in the stadium through the big screen broadcasted to the athletes. When he saw the national flag rise and the audience cheered, he felt excited and couldn’t help himself.

For him, this Olympic Games was not perfect. At least one 200-meter regret could not be completed, but everything has passed by now.

Participating in the world’s highest competitive sports competition on the territory of your own country, from the day you stepped on the track, I never really thought it could be realized.

And now that this grand event is about to end, the results of two golds and one silver still seem to him like a dream.

By Ye Qin’s side, Yang Yao, Zhang Peimeng, Su Bingtian and other athletes on the track and field team couldn’t help trembling a little at this moment.

The Olympics is over!

We have done our best to do our best!

So many days of matches, now sometimes in retrospect, it feels unreal, but he has happened so real.

This is our passion and youth. In this competition, we have received cheers from the audience and the honor of being on the podium, and some have made mistakes and failed to show their strength perfectly.

Now it is about to end!

A short film of the promotional images on the big screen of the Bird’s Nest Stadium appeared in front of everyone, and the lights gradually dimmed amidst the sound of music. The actors on the stage who presented gifts for the closing ceremony began their performances.

Surrounding the entire stand of the stadium, countless spotlights are flashing, constantly taking pictures of various performances in the center of the stage.

About twenty minutes later, several warm-up performances ended, and thunderous applause broke out in the entire Bird’s Nest Stadium.

Many athletes and coaches who had been waiting for a long time outside the stadium entered the Bird’s Nest Stadium under the guidance of the front flag bearers and volunteers.

The atmosphere of the audience reached its climax at this time!

Ye Qin and the people from the track and field team almost walked in. When the cameraman pointed at him, he pulled Su Bingtian and Zhang Peimeng and winked at the camera, and immediately amused everyone watching in front of the TV. The audience to this scene.

After many award-winning athletes and coaches entered the stadium, they quickly arranged the team according to the guidance of the staff, and the fiery atmosphere in the entire stadium gradually calmed down.

In the closing ceremony, what is about to begin is the most grand awards ceremony.

Men’s marathon award ceremony.

The three track and field events that have received the most attention during the Olympic Games are the 100-meter sprint, the 4×100-meter relay and the marathon.

On the red carpet, the three marathon runners Samuel Wanjiru of Kenya, Garib of Morocco, and Tesei Kebede of Ethiopia, who won the gold, silver and bronze medals of the marathon after the Xiangyun podium, were already standing there.

In this marathon, the marathon world record holder and legendary Ethiopian marathon runner Haile Gebreselasi did not participate. It can be said that this is the biggest regret of this men’s marathon final.

However, the men’s marathon champion Samuel Wanjilu still brought a huge surprise to the track. At the age of 22, he became the first Kenyan athlete to win the marathon. This is undoubtedly a shot in the arm for a traditional long-distance running country like Kenya.

Wan Jilu’s life experience is actually a model of sports changing life’s destiny. Born in a poor town, he dropped out of school at the age of 12 because he couldn’t afford the tuition. Later, he moved to Japan with his sports talent and received professional training. After winning multiple cross-country championships, he broke the half marathon world record three times from 2005 to 2007 and became a rising star in the international track and field. (The reason why the Olympic marathon champion is mentioned here is because the opponent fell from the balcony and died in the domestic conflict in Kenya in 2011. The police still cannot determine whether it was suicide or homicide. The peak of marathon runners is generally after the age of 30. If he is still alive, Wanjilu might really be the first athlete to run for two hours.)

In the exciting awards music, the President of the International Olympic Committee presented awards to the three contestants.

Compared with other competitions, there is no doubt that the award ceremony of this marathon is undoubtedly the highest standard and attracts much attention, so that when many athletes see such a scene, they think of themselves and still feel very excited.

After the national leaders, the mayor of Yenching and the chairman of the Olympic Organizing Committee delivered speeches successively, the flag-raising ceremony came again on the track and field stadium.

This time it was the flag of the United Kingdom, the host of the next Olympic Games. When the Pozi flag was raised, it also officially meant that Yenching handed over the right to host the Olympic Games to the next city, London.

“Yep Chin, the next Olympic Games, London, I must go!”

“Yes, I must make it to the semi-finals and into the third round!”

Su Bingtian and Zhang Peimeng, who were standing beside Ye Qin, had red eyes, and suddenly shouted loudly beside Ye Qin.

“Great!”

Ye Qin stretched out his hand to embrace the shoulders of the two of them. During the Athens Olympics, he had not participated in the closing ceremony, nor did he have such a strong impulse at the time.

And this time at the Yanjing Olympics, what was shown to everyone was a completely different landscape.

The highest podium, the strongest competitor, global attention, you will be nervous and excited when you are in it, there will be many emotions, but when you look back, you will always find that you can do better !

“Four years later, we will go to London together!”

Ye Qin laughed and shouted at a few people. While speaking, he turned to look at Yang Yao who was not far away.

Yang Yao smiled and clapped his hands and applauded. He looked at the three people who were extremely excited and listened to their young heroic and dry clouds. His eyes seemed to flash past when he entered the national team and ran 200 meters.

At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, no one of the Chinese team met the standards for the men’s sprint event~www.mtlnovel.com~ At that time, Yang Yao was fledgling and set himself a goal, that is, to participate in the Olympics.

In the 2004 Athens Olympics, he ran into the second round in the 200m. In the 2008 Olympics, he ran into the second round again in the 200m, and also won a silver medal in the 4×100m relay.

There may be regrets in life, but in 1989, he has grown from an ignorant boy to the big brother of the national track team. In fact, he is already very good here!

Looking at the high-spirited three people, they are just like themselves!

No, it should be said that it’s far beyond what I used to be!

May you all be well, may our track and field get better and better, and may our motherland get better and better!

Yang Yao watched the lively scene of the audience, smiling at the corners of his mouth, thinking silently in his heart.
