Chapter 181 Raising the flag and playing the national anthem
Su Feng spent the rest of the morning training for the 200 meters and the afternoon for the relay. But in the evening, or at four o'clock in the afternoon, Su Feng had no other tasks, and no one would give him any other tasks.
There is only one thing he needs to do, go to the Bird's Nest, receive the gold medal, raise the national flag, and play the national anthem!
The standards this time were quite high. Director Wang from the General Administration personally accompanied us, and everyone from the director to the deputy director of the Field Management Center came.
The General Administration came because of the importance of the 100-meter event and the importance of winning the Bird's Nest championship. This is politically correct. How could we not come?
Everyone from the Field Management Center is here. Apart from the above reasons, there is really no other way. After all, the competition has been going on for several days now, and we haven’t won a single medal in track and field. If we don’t follow Su Feng, who else can we follow.
Now the leaders of the field management center are all smiling like Maitreya Buddha. They are no longer nervous and embarrassed as before. If you grab a tea cup and a newspaper, you can experience the life of a retired uncle in advance.
"A savior!" This was the deepest evaluation of Su Feng from everyone in the field management center.
China's track and field has always been weak, and several medal-winning events that were originally expected to win have failed. When they usually walk, they almost turn themselves into ants and stuff themselves in the cracks of the ground.
As a result, Su Feng lived up to expectations and won the gold medal in the heavyweight category of the men's 100 meters. All the pressure disappeared at that moment. Holding this gold medal, the track and field team could sleep peacefully.
They were satisfied, so they all smiled. When Su Feng first saw them, he really thought that all the officials had become immortals.
In the passage of the Bird's Nest, Su Feng and Director Wang walked side by side, followed by more than 20 people. The leaders of the sports department were all in good shape and looked quite impressive.
"Su Feng, congratulations again, we will watch you receive the award from the stands." Director Wang and the others can only send them here. After all, it is the World Series. As the host, they cannot violate the rules. They will follow the procedures next.
.
"Thank you, Director, thank you all, I'm going." Su Feng waved goodbye to everyone, and then followed the conductor out of the corridor and headed towards the podium.
At this time, in the auditorium, countless spectators were waving five-star red flags, some big and some small, the small ones were waving, and the big ones were dancing. Everyone was waiting for Su Feng to appear.
The match had just been broadcast, and the medal ceremony for the men's 100 meters was about to be held. Since then, the noise at the scene has not stopped.
Our athletes finally won the most important gold medal in the Olympic Games at the Bird's Nest Stadium, at least one of the most important gold medals. How can we not feel proud from the bottom of our hearts?
Suddenly, the originally loud sound became louder again, truly deafening.
“Dear viewers, we see that Su Feng has already appeared, along with Usain Bolt of Jamaica and Powell, who is also from Jamaica.
9 seconds 62, 9 seconds 63, 9 seconds 70, this is definitely a set of numbers that will surprise any viewer beyond words.
This is definitely a set of numbers that would make any 100-meter athlete tremble.
This is definitely the most powerful number in the 100-meter race in all previous Olympic Games.
Even if the results of previous Olympic champions are placed next to them, they will pale in comparison.
And in this historic competition and historic results, our Chinese athletes participated, which makes all Chinese people proud.
Not to mention that our athletes are still the strongest among this group of peak figures!
In a few minutes, this strongest result will be raised together with the five-star red flag and the national anthem of the People's Republic of China, completing this historic moment in the presence of the Bird's Nest that countless people have paid for and more than one billion viewers around the world.
This moment is glorious, but this moment is also sad.
From Liu Changchun going to the United States alone to Su Feng standing on Chinese soil and winning the championship in the huge Bird's Nest Stadium, a century of decline, a century of struggle, a century of self-improvement, and a century of national rise.
The sadness has passed when we look back, and a stronger future is approaching us with firm steps.
Higher, faster, stronger, no matter in the past, present or future, whether it is sports or national development, the pace of the Chinese nation will never stop.
We will march towards a brighter future with our heads held high.
Okay, the athletes have already stood on the podium. The first person to receive the award is the BJ Olympic men's 100m bronze medalist, Asafa Powell.
He is a world-renowned men's sprinter. He has set world records many times and has even competed with Su Feng. In this men's 100-meter final, he also ran an astonishing time of 9.70 seconds.
, this bronze medal is well deserved.
Powell has already accepted the medal and bouquet, followed by fellow Jamaican Usain Bolt.
This athlete has shown strong sprinting talent since his youth, and has broken the records of world youth events many times. After his performance declined due to physical reasons, in the past year, after undergoing spinal correction and other treatments, he has shown remarkable performance.
Losing to Su Feng's astonishing strength, in this competition, he even ran an astonishing time of 9.63 seconds, one hundredth of a second behind Su Feng.
This should be the most regrettable silver medal in all previous competitions, just because he met Su Feng, who was at his peak and equally talented. The sentiment of how good it is to be good is perfectly suitable to be used here.
However, Bolt’s time of 9.63 seconds is enough to make Bolt proud. For him, maybe this silver medal is not worthy of him, but this is the cruelty of competitive sports. First, there can always only be one
one.
The last person to take the podium was our country’s Su Feng!
Since his rise after winning the bronze medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics, Su Feng has won countless competitions and two World Championships in four years. Now, he has won another Olympic championship!
In the past four years, countless viewers have followed him, and he has also brought exciting games to the audience one after another.
We have never seen his efforts and sweat, but we have witnessed the results he achieved step by step. This gold medal was obtained through countless efforts and his own talent.
From an Olympic youngster to an Olympic champion and a world superstar, we believe that Su Feng's future will be even more promising.
Su Feng had already accepted the award, and the cheers from the audience reached their peak at this moment.
We saw that the camera had turned and the national flag of the People's Republic of China had been hoisted under the flag-raising platform. The audience stood up to raise the flag and play the national anthem. The March of the Volunteers sounded again over the Bird's Nest after the opening ceremony!
"March of the Volunteers" was composed by Tian Han and Nie Er. It is the theme song of the movie "Children of the Storm". It is known as the clarion call for the liberation of the Chinese nation. Since its birth in 1935 at a time of national peril, it has inspired thousands of heroes.
Children, strive for the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation."
Su Feng looked at the national flag that was about to be raised and listened to the prelude to the national anthem that had just begun. He laughed silently. He had fulfilled his promise. All the sadness and pain were no longer important at this moment. The rising flag
The national flag and the slowly playing national anthem are the best reward for all this.
“Rise up! People who don’t want to be slaves!
Build our new Great Wall with our flesh and blood!
The Chinese nation has reached its most critical moment, and everyone is forced to make one last roar.
Get up! Get up! Get up!
We are united as one, braving enemy fire and moving forward!
Braving enemy fire, go forward! Go forward! Go forward! Go forward!”
All the Chinese people present, including Su Feng, sang the national anthem loudly and watched the national flag rising into the sky.
