The London Olympic Games are from July 27, 2012 to August 12, 2012.
But there is one game that started before the Olympic Games, and that is football.
The Olympic football matches after the 1996 Atlanta Olympics all preceded the Olympic opening ceremony.
So why did the football match start before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games was held? In fact, the reason is also very simple, because the match days of the Olympic Games must not exceed 16 days, and the opening ceremony must not exceed 17 days. Football matches in so many countries,
I really can’t finish playing.
Especially during the Atlanta Olympics, the rigorous competition schedule and the excessively high temperatures of the Summer Olympics caused many athletes to suffer severe physical exhaustion and suffer from heatstroke and other phenomena.
Therefore, starting from the 2000 Sydney Olympics, special football matches will be held prior to the opening ceremony of each Olympic Games.
"The first football match of the London Olympics will start on July 26, and the gold medal will be decided on August 11.
London Olympics men's football grouping situation
Group A: England, Uruguay, United Arab Emirates, Senegal
Group B: Mexico, Switzerland, South Korea, Gabon
Group C: Brazil, Belarus, New Zealand, Egypt
Group D: Spain, Honduras, Japan, Morocco."
"Bah!" On July 26, the men's football opening match was about to begin, but after looking at the groupings, Su Feng lost interest. There was no Chinese team, and it looked boring.
"Su Feng, you still watch men's football!?"
Zhang Peimeng came in from outside and brought back some souvenirs prepared for athletes from the Olympic Games. When he entered, he happened to see the final men's football grouping on TV.
"I'm surprised. You said that even Honduras has entered the Olympics, and where is Gabon? Why can't the Chinese team do it?" Seeing that Su Feng had no intention of answering, Zhang Peimeng said while throwing a souvenir to him.
"You ask me who I'm asking, why don't you switch to playing forward? With your hard work and speed, maybe you will become a well-known football player in our country in two years." Su Feng said angrily, supposedly.
Chinese people are very good at technical sports. In physical running, except for myself, people like Su Bingtian and Xie Zhenye are all good at it. Why can't they be good at football?
It’s understandable that basketball results are not good, after all, it’s more about physical confrontation, but football is more about skills.
Messi's size and body can make him one of the best players in the world. The Chinese women's football team is also famous in the world. Why is the Chinese men's football team getting worse and worse.
"Screw you, I'm already this age to practice football, are you kidding me? But I don't know, you are still a fan?"
"Fans don't count. I was excited for a while when the Chinese team entered the World Cup. I didn't really watch other football games. Training was tiring enough."
"Are you so free? Didn't you get one of these souvenirs as soon as you arrived, and you still want to get them?"
"Hey, if you don't take it, it's nothing. If you give your family a point, you'll get nothing. By the way, have you seen Bolt today?"
"Of course, didn't we see it when we were training together?"
"No, I mean just now, I saw him on the training ground."
"Has he practiced until now?" Su Feng subconsciously looked at the clock in the room. It was already half past seven. Although it gets dark late in the summer, there is no need to train for such a long time at this time of the Olympic Games.
"Of course, it seems that he is destined to win this Olympics. You really need to pay attention."
Su Feng was silent for a while. It was probably because of himself that Bolt could be so serious.
At this time, training to this level will actually have little effect, and it will make you more likely to get injured.
But one good thing is that you can use training to give yourself no time to think randomly, and the pressure will naturally be reduced.
"Okay, I understand, let him practice if he does." Su Feng said with a smile.
"Why, aren't you nervous?"
"What's the use of being nervous? You also practice sprinting. You should know that even if you do high-intensity training now, the effect will be limited. No matter what he thinks, we just have to do our best."
"To be honest, I really envy your mentality. We and you are standing in front of us, so we are getting a lot of attention. My mother said that when I read domestic newspapers now, I look like a star. This is
Let alone you."
"Haha, there's nothing wrong with that, as long as you can stabilize your mind."
After Su Feng finished speaking, he looked at Zhang Paimeng seriously. After seeing that he nodded seriously, Su Feng also nodded to him.
What these people represent is the country. The country has spent so much effort training them, raising troops for a thousand days, and using them for a while. Now is the time to use them.
In this life, with Su Feng around, the 100-meter race is definitely a star event not only internationally, but domestically, even better than the 110-meter hurdles.
Especially Zhang Peimeng and Su Bingtian, who broke through ten seconds after Su Feng, maybe because the ten second mark is more conspicuous than thirteen seconds and fourteen seconds, maybe because it represents a greater meaning.
Zhang Peimeng and Su Bingtian are much more famous in China than Shi Dongpeng in their previous life.
The flowers are becoming more and more charming. Zhang Peimeng and Su Bingtian have still maintained their original intention of winning glory for the country. Everyone is working hard for the same goal. This feeling is really good.
…
At 4:00 pm on July 28, 2012, under the great expectation, the opening ceremony of the London Olympic Games officially began.
First, the distinguished guests, including the head of the host country, the president of the Olympic Committee, guests from various countries, etc. are welcomed to enter. Then the host country's flag is raised and the national anthem is played.
Subsequently, the opening ceremony of the London Olympics, named "Wonderful Island", officially opened.
The entire opening ceremony was divided into three parts. The first part was green and pleasant. The entire opening ceremony was slowly unveiled amidst the roar of a huge bell hanging in the main venue. The bell was also engraved with the words from Shakespeare's "The Tempest".
Famous sentence: "Don't be afraid, there is a lot of noise on this island." Subsequently, the Olympic Stadium was transformed into an English rural scenery. The stage presented scenery such as grassland, fields, and rivers. It also showed family picnics and people participating in sports.
Scenes of farmers farming and working. In addition, some real farm animals, including 30 sheep, 12 horses, 3 cows, 2 goats, etc., appeared. The performance showed the British style.
The theme of the second act is the dark Satanic Mill, which is used as a metaphor for the British Industrial Revolution.
The theme of the third act is Towards the Future, which mainly describes post-war Britain. Models of many London landmarks, including Big Ben, will be put on the stage, and British historical celebrities and some achievements of modern Britain will be displayed.
In short, from Su Feng’s perspective, the opening ceremony of the London Olympics was quite good. In fact, the closing ceremonies of all the Olympic Games all showed a nation’s longing for its own beauty, its pride and pride in past historical figures and national culture.
There is nothing wrong with praising the Olympic Games.
Then came the athletes. After Yao Ming retired, Su Feng replaced Yi Jianlian in his previous life and was selected as the flag bearer of the Chinese team in this Olympic Games, waiting for the moment to lead the Chinese team into the stadium.
At this time, even Su Feng, who had experienced countless big scenes, was very excited.
When he told his parents the news, their reactions were still vivid in Su Feng's mind.
Su Feng may never forget that look of joy and pride.
Although he had known for a long time that this day might come, when this day actually came, Su Feng could not help but feel excited.
Representing China, holding the Chinese national flag, and leading the Chinese team on the Olympic field, this kind of pride and responsibilities for the country and the people will never be realized until the moment of actual playing.
During the athletes' entrance ceremony, it is customary for the Greek delegation to enter first.
The rest of the countries entered the 2012 London Olympics in alphabetical order. China used the letter A instead of the People's Republia, so the Chinese team ranked 42nd among 205 countries and regions.
.
When Su Feng led the huge Chinese army to the field, not only the Chinese and overseas Chinese, but also the tourists from all over the world gave a huge cheer like them. Even when welcoming the Greek delegation, the scene had never been so huge.
of cheers.
This is the first time tonight that there is such a roaring and tsunami-like cheering.
