Chapter 1186 Countdown to the Olympics (Third update, please subscribe)
"Bell..."
As soon as the alarm clock rang, Zhao Minghui poked her head out of the towel and quilt, stretched out her hand to turn off the alarm, After getting up quickly, he brushed his teeth and walked to his sister's room, waking up his sister Zhao Mingzhen.
"Mingzhen, Mingzhen, hurry up, get up and go."
After finishing washing, I turned on the radio and listened to the morning English news on the radio station. While listening to the news, I went to the kitchen, where my mother had already prepared breakfast.
As for his father, although he is the boss of a trading company, he goes out early in the morning. As a boss, he also does many things personally.
As for the eldest brother, there is no need to shout. He must be in the school library now, preparing for the joint entrance examination. For him who wants to get into Nanyang Daan Business School, nothing is more important than reading and studying. .
Soon, the younger sister and younger brothers came out of the room and saw the breakfast on the table. The elder brother was not there. As the eldest sister, Zhao Minghui immediately prepared breakfast for the younger siblings, each with a glass of milk, There was an egg, steamed buns and spicy soup on the table. They were from Kaifeng, Henan Province, so they were naturally used to such breakfast.
After the younger brothers and sisters sat down, Zhao Minghui showed a satisfied smile.
Zhao Minghui ate while listening to the radio. She finished her meal quickly, while her little sister was still eating eggs slowly beside her.
"Mingzhen, you are seven years old. The school bus will be here in a moment. Eat quickly and don't be late again."
"I understand, eldest sister."
In the eldest sister Under the supervision of the teacher, Zhao Mingzhen ate faster. After eating, she simply washed up, and then walked to the school bus stop with her sister in her school uniform. On the way, Zhao Mingzhen, who was following her sister, looked at her and said:
< br>"Sister, I heard that Sister Luo Lan is going to be an Olympic medalist and participate in the Olympic Games. Are you really training recently?"
"Yes,"
Zhao Minghui looked at another house not far away.
“Really? Hold up the sign of that country.”
“Rhodesia.”
“Rhodesia? That country?”
“A country in Africa, by the way, I also signed up to join the Olympics as a volunteer.”
"Be a volunteer? Sister, weren't you chosen as the placard-raising lady?"
"That's because I'm only thirteen years old, and the placard-raising girl must be over sixteen years old."
< br>Zhao Mingzhen asked again:
“Then why can you be a volunteer?”
Faced with her sister’s question, Zhao Minghui did not answer, but said directly To:
"Anyway, I am a volunteer. As long as I am over 12 years old, I will go for training in the next few days!"
While the two sisters were chatting, they had already arrived at the school bus station. Before anyone arrived, the boys waiting for the bus became nervous, and many of them even forgot to speak. After all, the Zhao sisters were not only famous beauties in the community, but the sisters who looked like twins were also school beauties.
I don’t know how many teenagers who were in adolescence were excited by it. Those teenagers puffed up their chests and even stroked their hair with their hands, as if they could create some kind of hairstyle.
When the two sisters walked over, they would always look at their sister quietly. The young man's eyes were full of some ignorant youthful vitality, but that was all.
However, Zhao Minghui, who was wearing headphones, did not notice this. Originally listening to English news, she hummed the Olympic theme song along with the radio. Of course, she sang it in Mandarin.
There are two versions of the Olympic theme song, Mandarin and English. The latter works better when promoted internationally.
Nothing is more important to her than the Olympics. As for the boys' eyes... she didn't pay attention at all.
Soon, the school bus arrived. Although it was a school bus, the yellow body also had the Olympic rings printed on it.
This was the case in Nanyang in the 1960s, with Olympic colors everywhere. Every place, every corner, the Olympic Games has a different meaning to this country. After the Soviet delegation arrived, delegations from various countries also arrived in Chang'an. Basically, the news played on the TV is related to the Olympic Games. As the time enters the countdown, everyone participating in the Olympic Games is making final preparations for the Olympic Games.
On the fourth to last day before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, several of the latest F-2 fighter jets were lined up at the Air Force Taiping Base. Different from ordinary fighter jets, the emblem of these fighter jets is "Suzaku", which is the famous "Suzaku" flight demonstration team.
Six years ago, in order to show its existence to the world, and of course to show off its force, and to demonstrate the advanced performance of the F-1B jet fighter and the flight training level of the pilots, the Air Force decided to establish the Air Force's aerobatic demonstration team. , and was officially named "Suzaku". In the past six years, the "Suzaku" aerobatic team has not only performed many flight performances at defense equipment exhibitions, but also performed abroad many times. The gorgeous flight performances have allowed the "Suzaku" to fly The performance team has long been famous around the world.
The F2 fighter is the most advanced 2 times the speed of sound fighter in Nanyang. Although it just entered service at the beginning of the year, the military still provided 6 F2 fighter jets to the "Suzaku" flight demonstration team for flight performances - in Air show at the Olympics.
The Air Force is doing this not only to cooperate with the Olympic Games, but also to show off its power and show this new type of fighter jet to the world. After all, this is the third fighter jet in the world to be officially put into service after the MiG-21 and F104 fighter jets. Although it has been publicly unveiled as early as last year's Chang'an Defense Equipment Exhibition, this time it is the Olympic Games, and they will be displayed nationwide. Performing in front of the world.
To this end, the five pilots of the "Suzaku" flight demonstration team have performed many performances. They fly for several hours every day to ensure the smoothness of the flight performance.
"First of all, when we enter the field..."
Before the training was about to begin, Xu Tianlin, the captain, once again emphasized the key points of their approach flight. As a pilot with 6,000 hours of flight experience, he The requirements for every detail of the performance are extremely high. After repeatedly emphasizing the key points, the pilots got on the plane, and five F2 fighter jets roared into the sky one after another.
The members of the performance team on the ground looked at the fighter jets in the sky, their eyes were full of expectation, looking forward to their performance at the opening ceremony.
Every minute, every moment, all participants are preparing.
Even Li Yixuan, the eldest son, is also preparing... No, he no longer needs to prepare. On the fourth to last day, as an Olympic volunteer, he wears the volunteer uniform, just like that Stand on the street and offer help to those in need.
In Chang'an, not many people know that he is your eldest son. The photos of him from the outside world are only from when he was 2 years old. Since then, the photos have not been released to the public. In the past few years, he has been educated in ordinary schools, just like ordinary children.
Going to class five days a week, joining the Scouts, participating in Scout training during holidays, participating in charity activities, and so on. Now, like many others, he has stepped out to serve as a volunteer in Chang'an, There are many such volunteers. They are of different ages and identities, and everyone is making their own efforts for this experience event.
On the morning of October 14, more than 260 people, including all athletes, coaches and related staff of the Nanyang delegation, all left the Army's Shenshan Training Base - this plateau training base has long become a landmark in the Nanyang sports world. A secret weapon for athletes, especially track and field athletes, to perform altitude training here to achieve better results.
These athletes come from all over Nanyang, and their occupations are different. Among them are students, teachers, doctors, soldiers, company employees, and workers, but there is no professional athlete - this This is because according to the requirements of the Olympic Games, only non-professional athletes can participate in Olympic competitions.
According to the "amateur principle" defined by Coubertin, the father of the Olympics: "A person gives all his energy to a competitive sport and becomes rich by engaging in this sport, thus making competitive sports The nobility of the body is gone, making the muscles superior to the spirit, and completely destroying the balance of the human being."
The "amateur principle" has become an insurmountable bottom line. Some people were even deprived of gold medals because of this, such as Thorpe, who won the men's pentathlon and decathlon gold medals at the 2012 Olympics. At that time, he was even called the greatest track and field athlete in the world. But he was stripped of the title the following year after the U.S. Olympic Committee accused him of violating amateur athlete rules by charging $15 to play for an Indian school's baseball team.
The world was shocked and public opinion was in an uproar. Thorpe ran around, but there was no way to complain. At the end of his life, he left the world with a sentence: "Give me the gold medal"!
This is the characteristic of this era.
Therefore, there is no staff athlete in the Nanyang Olympic delegation who makes a living from sports, including Nanyang’s first Olympic champion, the 27-year-old Yang Wu, who is a high school physical education teacher. Training in their spare time is probably the same for other athletes.
In the past, they all went abroad to compete in the Olympic Games, but now, they are competing in the Olympic Games in their own country. Everyone is full of expectations for the next competition. They are eager to achieve better results and serve the country. and personal glory.
Whether these athletes are of Tang or European origin, they generally think this way.
As a veteran who has participated in two sports games, Yang Wu seemed very calm. He occasionally cast his eyes out of the car window. At this time, there were only four days left before the opening of the Olympic Games. People from all over the country and overseas came from all over the country. Sports fans from all over the country have gathered in Chang'an. On both sides of the streets in Chang'an, you can see Olympic flags and posters everywhere, as well as many other foreigners of different skin colors, including even black people who are rare in Southeast Asia.
“Finally, I’m going to compete in my own country!”
Yang Wu was silently thinking in his heart, this year he signed up for a marathon, can he win the gold medal?
The result is not known yet, but as long as you work hard, just like the song says - I will work harder to touch the glory of the sky!
I want to become stronger. Isn’t this what the Olympics is about?
Among the thousands of sports fans gathered outside the Olympic Village, many held up posters of Nanyang athletes, including Yang Wu's. After he won the Olympic gold medal in Helsinki, he became famous overnight and became the most famous athlete in Southeast Asia. He gained many supporters. Of course, the championship also changed his life. For example, as the spokesperson of 361, he could get a huge sum of money for each one. Fei's reward is why he can train.
The athletes greeted the sports fans through the car windows, and the motorcade slowly drove into the Olympic Village. At this time, more than 5,000 athletes were already living in the Olympic Village, but some countries representatives, but failed to send a delegation, such as Ethiopia in turmoil, such as Hyderabad, Kashmir and other countries that have subjugated their countries.
Of course, some national delegations are refused entry, such as the Iraqi delegation. Because Nanyang does not recognize the new Iraqi government, it refuses to issue visas to them, which directly results in their delegation being unable to enter. Of course, this is indispensable. There is also India, which was also shut out because of its invasion of the feudal states.
Olympics, some people say sports are not politics, but in fact they are politics themselves!
