At ten o'clock in the morning, the highlight of this Universiade, the shot put final of the field competition, was held at the Western State Provincial Gymnasium.
The stadium, which can accommodate 100,000 spectators, was packed with seats. Thousands of reporters from home and abroad rushed to take advantage of the favorable terrain to report and shoot. Officials from more than a dozen national departments and ministries and states sat in front of the main stage chatting and laughing.
As the honorary president of the event, Zhong Wudi sat in the center of the stage. Next to him sat a mysterious guest, an old man, and his granddaughter Qin Shishi sat on the other side.
Nearly 100,000 Jiang Xiaoliu's fanatical fans were waving flags and shouting, and countless police officers were deployed everywhere to maintain order.
The welcome song sounded, and officials from the Universiade Organizing Committee slowly walked onto the green grassy field.
With smiles on their faces, these officials in neat suits waved to the crowds of spectators. If Jiang Xiaoliu hadn't become popular around the world, they would never have experienced the spectacle of being watched by hundreds of thousands of people in their lifetimes.
The president of the event organizing committee spoke. The president spoke passionately for a long time, all in official style, which made the audience feel sleepy.
When the president was about to continue speaking, someone in the audience finally couldn't help shouting, "Go away!"
Immediately afterwards, Zhang Yongjian's deep voice came from the gymnasium: "Fuck you, we are here to see Jiang Xiaoliu win the gold medal. Why are you so excited here!"
Roaring laughter erupted from the scene, and everyone shouted, "Go away, go away, go away." The chairman looked embarrassed, so he could only end his speech hastily, and led a group of officials back to the main stage in despair.
A few minutes later, the entrance ceremony for the athletes in the shot put final began.
Since the top six in the preliminaries voluntarily withdrew, only Jiang Xiaoliu, who was seventh in the preliminaries, and the eighth-place athlete in the preliminaries were left to participate in the finals.
"Friends from the audience, the athlete entering now is Zeng Shunyu, who represents Western State Linshi University. He is 20 years old this year. He is the third person to participate in the four or four Universiade, besides Jiang Xiaoliu and Ye Bufan.
Among the athletes in the above events, Zeng Shunyu participated in a total of six events."
Following the on-site announcer's introduction, the audience's curiosity was aroused. After all, this athlete participated in six events, and this alone was the most successful in this Universiade.
Under the gaze of 100,000 people, Zeng Shunyu, who is 1.7 meters tall, stepped onto the field. He is thin, has a crew cut and a dark complexion.
Facing a large audience, Zeng Shunyu didn't look nervous at all. His bright eyes did not look around. His sight only stayed in front of him.
"Dean Su, Zeng Shunyu's courage to move forward deserves respect!"
In the athlete's tunnel behind Zeng Shunyu, Jiang Xiaoliu praised his only opponent in this morning's game.
He glanced at Su Yunyan, who was standing tall beside him. Dean Su was wearing the school's work uniform this morning, and his beautiful figure was really pleasing to the eye.
Su Yunyan held a stack of information in her hand, read it for a while and said: "Zeng Shunyu's family was poor and his parents died young. He raised his sister with leukemia alone. In order to survive, Zeng Shunyu learned to be strong and independent very early. At the moment, Zeng Shunyu
In order to raise the 700,000 yuan for his sister's surgery, he had to sign up for six competitions."
After a pause, Su Yunyan continued: "As long as Zeng Shunyu can win the gold medal in any competition, Linshi City Government will award a bonus of 800,000 yuan. This is Zeng Shunyu's motivation to participate."
"So, has Zeng Shunyu ever won a gold medal?"
Jiang Xiaoliu sighed after hearing this.
He was an orphan, and his family was also poor before he met Ling'er. Jiang Xiaoliu naturally understood Zeng Shunyu's hardships.
"Zeng Shunyu did not win the gold medal. Although he entered the finals in all five competitions he participated in, none of them entered the top three. This morning's shot put competition was his last." Su Yunyan glanced at the venue.
Zeng Shunyu is waiting inside.
Before Jiang Xiaoliu could speak, Wu Qian on the side spoke.
"I say Xiaoliu, you must not be soft-hearted, and don't think about letting Zeng Shunyu off. With so many leaders and audiences present today, and with the global live broadcast, this game is related to the reputation of our Xihe City, as well as Dean Su.
You must never compete with your glory in negativity with compassion.”
After Wu Qian finished speaking worriedly, she did not forget to pull Su Yunyan, signaling Su Yunyan to also remind Jiang Xiaoliu.
Su Yunyan smiled bitterly. She had been in contact with Jiang Xiaoliu for a while, and she had fully understood Jiang Xiaoliu's temper. If Jiang Xiaoliu really wanted to sympathize with Zeng Shunyu and let the competition slip, she, Su Yunyan, would not be able to persuade him.
On the contrary, if you want to force Jiang Xiaoliu to let go in the competition, absolutely no one can do it!
"Director Wu, don't worry, one code equals one code. I respect my opponent Zeng Shunyu, and I also respect the competition and competition system."
Jiang Xiaoliu's words immediately made Wu Qian feel at ease.
Next, Jiang Xiaoliu made a grand appearance amidst cheers. There was no showing off when he appeared. He still covered his heart with his right hand in a low-key manner and bowed slightly to thank all the supporters.
Jiang Xiaoliu completed his circuit around the field and walked to Zeng Shunyu. He did not forget to give him a friendly smile.
Zeng Shunyu was also very friendly, nodded his thanks and smiled, saying: "Classmate Jiang, I will not give up any game. Even if you are invincible, I will still persevere to the end. I hope you don't despise my actions.
Your only opponent in the game."
Jiang Xiaoliu couldn't hide his admiring gaze, and said with a smile: "Classmate Zeng, friendship comes first, competition comes second. For the sake of a fair and just sports competition spirit, I will go all out, and I ask you to spare no effort to participate."
Zeng Shunyu hummed, the two looked at each other, smiled kindly, and extended their hands to shake.
"Friends from the audience, you have seen the eyes of Zeng Shunyu and Jiang Xiaoliu looking at each other. After they shook hands sympathetically, the tense atmosphere suddenly escalated. Please see, Zeng Shunyu is now the first to start throwing the shot put..."
The on-site announcer started the commentary mode: "Oh, unfortunately, Zeng Shunyu's first throw was only 19.12 meters, which is far away from the world record of 23.12 meters. However, we should still applaud Zeng Shunyu for having the courage to stand
Competing in front of Jiang Xiaoliu deserves respect!"
As expected, the audience was mostly well-intentioned, and warm applause soon came.
Zeng Shunyu walked aside and waited for the next round.
Jiang Xiaoliu stood in front of the throwing line. Amid the thunderous applause of the audience, he held the shot put, calmly and seriously doing the warm-up before throwing. It was the first time that he was so serious in a competition.
Because Jiang Xiaoliu promised Zeng Shunyu that he would go all out. This is his absolute respect for Zeng Shunyu!
Everyone's emotions were instantly aroused. The entire audience stood up and stared. Thousands of reporters' photographic equipment were all pointed at Jiang Xiaoliu.
Following the referee's command, Jiang Xiaoliu threw accurately, raised his right hand and shouted out!
Whoosh!
The shot ball tore through the air and made only a simple sound of breaking through the air.
There was no shocking feeling like the previous three throws. With hundreds of thousands of people watching, the shot put thrown by Jiang Xiaoliu disappeared in the air in the blink of an eye without a trace.
"Damn it, the shot put is gone. Was it thrown into space by Jiang Xiaoliu?"
"Am I blind? I used a high-power telescope just to see where the shot put went during the competition, but I didn't see anything!"
"Holy crap, look, everyone, the electronic tester shows no results!"
The attention of everyone on the scene immediately shifted to the monitor: "The flight path of the shot put has been lost, so there is no result in this throw!"
The next second, the audience felt that they had been fooled, and tens of thousands of people began to shout black whistle, black whistle.
They were Jiang Xiaoliu's biggest fans, and they definitely didn't believe that Jiang Xiaoliu had no grades. Some angry people picked up the items in their hands and threw them at the leaders at the podium.
The leaders in front of the chairman's stage screamed, the inspectors rushed over to maintain order, and the reporters rushed to take pictures and report first. The stadium soon fell into chaos, and even radicals began to prepare to ignite the fireworks.
banner.
"Friends from the audience, please be patient and let the shot put fly for a while longer!"
At this critical moment, Jiang Xiaoliu walked up to the microphone. He looked up into the air and said calmly: "This is a fair and fair game. There is no black whistle. Please look quickly. The one who fell down is not me."
A shot put?"
Following Jiang Xiaoliu's words, the restless 100,000 people instantly fell silent, and everyone's eyes were uniformly cast into the air.
I didn't know when, but under the visibility, a shot put appeared in the air from the perspective of everyone.
The shot put flew in the mid-air with the warm sun shining on it, with a breathtaking graceful arc, falling with gravity acceleration, carrying a rolling roar, and with a bang, it landed heavily on the green grass in the gymnasium.
central.
Boom boom boom!
What shocked the audience was that after the shot was hit, it burrowed into the ground. The huge impact caused a roaring sound from the ground, as if a drill head was continuously drilling down into the ground.
A full five seconds passed before the roaring underground stopped. When the shot put hit the ground, it made a huge hole, which was one foot in diameter!
Jiang Xiaoliu's throw broke through the invisible clouds and fell like a meteor hitting the ground.
Damn it!
This scene made the 100,000 people present open their mouths in shock.
Even Zhong Wudi, who was sitting firmly on the main stage, couldn't help but stand up from his knees at that moment.
