Born to Run

"Xiaoxi, this time you and Wang Fang are two of you as the award ceremony ladies. This award ceremony will be more grand than the others, so please pay attention to your smile and standing posture."

Yuan Chunyan looked at the girl who was standing in front of him in the preparation lounge of a courtesy lady in the Bird's Nest Stadium, who had been doing very well in training, and said in a soft voice.

Yuan Chunyan is the teacher in charge of the volunteer training for the award ceremony of the Yanjing Olympics, and also the person in charge of the volunteers of the award ceremony.

The training of these volunteers can be said to have spent a lot of effort, from practicing standing, to walking, pace, turning, smiling, all aspects are disassembled in one movement, allowing the volunteers to practice thousands of people. Times.

For example, in a simple standing posture, each etiquette volunteer must wear 5 cm high heels, a book on his head, and a piece of ordinary white paper between his legs and knees. One stop is an hour, neither book nor paper can be dropped, otherwise it will have to be redone.

The movement of the tray is also required. The arm is about a punch away from the side waist. When the tray is placed, the thumb is exposed outside the tray. The most difficult thing in training is to control the pace and link up the awards. Controlling pace is when awarding awards. After several ceremonial awards volunteers have walked a certain distance, the distance between them should be the same.

These detailed trainings can be said to have been carried out for several months, and the selected etiquette volunteers are basically impeccable in appearance and understanding, even Yuan Chunyan thinks what beauty pageant is included In the game, it is estimated that many people can stand out.

The main reason why I will give a special explanation now is that the award ceremony for the men's 100 meters tonight is too grand and grand.

Yuan Chunyan doesn't know how many people are watching on foreign TV stations, but she can guess that almost everyone in China will focus on this award ceremony.

Ye Qin won the gold medal in the men's 100 meters at the 2008 Yanjing Olympics with a record-breaking performance. There is no doubt that it will be the focus of attention of all parties.

Because of this, she hopes that the etiquette under her hands can be perfect, and strive not to make any mistakes.

"I see, Teacher Yuan." Chen Zixi looked at Yuan Chunyan's gaze, nodded slightly, and smiled impeccably under the delicate makeup.

It's just that her heart is really not so peaceful at the moment.

She was not originally a volunteer in charge of the men's 100-meter award ceremony, but after the process was arranged, she specifically asked Yuan Chunyan to get this opportunity.

As for how to persuade the other party, I didn't spend too much effort. An alumnus of Shuimu University can already be allowed. After all, for people like Yuan Chunyan, I also understand the feelings of some little girls.

At that time, when he was really sure that he would be the hostess of the men's 100m award ceremony, Chen Zixi was somewhat worried that Ye Qin might not be able to win the gold medal in the end!

In that case, she will win the agreement between the two...

However, what she is more worried about is that if Ye Chin fails to win the championship, she may have to bear endless pressure!

Not to mention anything else, it was she herself as a volunteer for the Olympics, she had heard about it in her daily life. Many people were talking about Ye Qin and whether he could win the championship by breaking the record!

With such a huge pressure, sometimes she would feel an inexplicable sense of suffocation when she thinks about it, as if one hundred thousand mountains are overwhelmed by the pressure.

But Ye Qin really survived, perfect performance, perfect play!

She didn't see the game yesterday. The work of etiquette volunteers is often impossible to walk around at will. But at that time, the cheers in the Bird's Nest Stadium almost shook the entire stadium, and countless people shouted. Yeqin's name.

At that time, she resisted the excitement, until the end of the game and returned to the dormitory to watch the replay of the game on TV. Especially when she saw the action of Ye Chin's finger held up before the game, she laughed again. Crying again.

She herself couldn't tell whether she was happy or excited, but she just wanted to shed tears.

Wang Fang, whose roommate came to Yanda University, looked at her at the time, but he was a little baffled.

The two have not seen each other for a while, and after the opening of the Olympics, their work has been on a continuous roll, and Yeqin's preparations for war have also entered a period of tension.

Fortunately...I can finally see him!

She felt a little excited and a little nervous, but what was more mixed was a sense of expectation, to be able to win the gold medal in the eyes of everyone, and watch him stand on the highest podium!

Thinking of this... the smiles that have been trained in a few months or half a year seem to be a little uneasy...

...

21:45 on August 17th.

In the Bird's Nest Stadium, there was a flood of people, and there were no empty seats in the stands.

Just finished in the stadium is the women’s 3000-meter obstacle course final of the Olympic Games for the first time this year.

Russian star Samitova won the championship with 8 minutes 58.81 seconds and broke the world record! Kenya's Kotic was second, and another Russian player Volkova finished third.

In the venue, Olympic volunteers and staff are clearing the barriers after the obstacle course and the wading pool on the 400-meter standard track.

After this game, there are several women's 100m and 10,000m finals. But at the moment, it is not the rest of the game that attracts the audience and the audience in front of the TV, but the award ceremony that will begin soon. The award ceremony of the men's 100m final of the Olympic Games.

After the men’s 100m finals last night, after a day of fermentation, there are still many people watching the awards ceremony in front of the TV at this moment, even if everyone has watched the Olympic Games recently, they have already had various award ceremonies. Some are familiar, but still can't stop many people wanting to see the moment when the five-star red flag rises at the Bird's Nest Stadium.

In a waiting area outside the mixed corridor outside the Bird’s Nest Stadium, Ye Qin was standing quietly among the crowd in a brand-new national team uniform. Many Olympic staff and volunteers on both sides looked away from him from time to time. s position.

"Hey, Ye Qin, only after I came to China did I know how welcome you are!"

Standing next to Yeqin, Youssé Bot, who also wears Jamaican yellow sportswear, looked around with a smile, and then at Yeqin who was standing in the crowd, with a bit of surprise and curiosity in his eyes.

As athletes, they are actually no strangers to this scene, and they have caused quite a stir in Jamaican Youssé Bot.

However, compared with a huge country whose capital population alone is several times larger than that of the whole country, the frenetic atmosphere is far worse.

So much so that he sometimes wonders whether the most popular event in China, like Jamaica, is also track and field sprinting.

"I believe you will have a very high reputation in my country."

Ye Qin looked at the staff who kept coming and going, smiled and replied, "From the beginning of the men's 100m finals, all the media have been hyping up. You should now be one of the most famous black athletes in China. ."

"real or fake?"

Youssé Bot grinned, obviously not convinced.

"Really."

Yeqin nodded seriously. Like all other sports, the first thing that the audience in his country pays attention to is the athletes of his country.

But in this process, the opponents and teammates who have intersection with the athletes of their own country will receive the attention of many people.

For example, Alan Johnson and Dai Long Robles in the men's 110-meter hurdles project, because of Liu Yangyu, many people are not familiar with these two Liu Yangyu's rivals, but basically they have heard their names.

There are also teammates like Dayao’s NBA teammate Tracy McGrady. To a certain extent, the opponent’s reputation has been blessed by Yao’s popularity, making him also have many supporters in China.

In fact, Yechin also believes that with the performance of Youssé Bot and Asafaville, he can still have a lot of popularity in China even without himself. This is naturally brought about after a project has reached the top level. Now It's just that on this basis, more people who may not have been concerned about sprinting have been known by many people through their opponents.

In the Bird's Nest Stadium, amidst the anxious wait of countless people in the audience and in front of the TV, a melodious and atmospheric music sounded throughout the venue.

After hearing this music, some of the audience was boiling, and their attention instantly began to concentrate.

In the previous Olympic Games, the award ceremony is an obvious symbolic element, which reminds the audience that the award ceremony is about to begin. Through the rich and powerful musical language, it praises the athletes' fighting spirit and outstanding achievements.

The music for the award ceremony of the Yanjing Olympics was composed by the famous composers Tan Dun and Wang Hesheng. At this moment, it is the musician Tan Dun who used the original sound of the Zenghouyi chime unearthed in Hubei and the sound of the jade chime to combine the performance of the symphony to form the "Golden Sound and Jade" Vibration, golden jade in unison" as the iconic awards music sound.

This music has sounded many times in other venues, and Chinese athletes have won gold medals in the Olympic Games. But at the Bird's Nest Stadium, this was the first time that it sounded for a Chinese player to win gold.

The audience was in awe, and almost couldn't help standing up, their eyes all cast towards the entrance of the athletes.

"...Welcome to the entry of the men's 100-meter winners of the 29th Olympic Games!"

The broadcast sounded throughout the Bird's Nest National Stadium.

When Yechin, Youssé-Bot and Asafaville followed the guided staff through the corridors of the mixed zone and once again stepped into the Bird’s Nest Stadium, the entrance music composed by the composer Wang Hesheng sounded in due course, The symphony orchestration has a clear rhythm and is very contagious, giving people a cheerful and exciting feeling.

The cheers and applause for an instant were almost like exploding fireworks, with thunderous applause resounding in layers and from all directions.

"Ye Qin!"

"Ye Qin!"

"Olympic champion!"

"China, must win!"

...

The shouts went from messy to slowly neat, and amid the rhythmic applause and shouts, a little was actually set off before the award ceremony.

"... Audience friends, what is being broadcast for you is the award ceremony of the men's 100m final. At this time, everyone in the venue is immersed in a sea of ​​joy.

This is the first gold medal won by the Chinese team in the track and field events of the Olympic Games, and it is also the heaviest men's 100m gold medal. With this record-breaking gold medal, Ye Qin once again declared to the world his absolute dominance in the current men’s 100 meters... National champion, Asian Games champion, World Championship champion, and today’s Olympic champion, Ye Qin. Every step of the game rewrites the history of Chinese track and field, the history of Chinese sprinting...Today is an extremely solemn and sacred moment, which will be remembered by history..."

The audience in front of the TV, listening to the entrance music that sounded on the scene, saw the moment Ye Qin entered the venue, and Mu Jiang's excited commentary sounded in everyone's ears again.

Many viewers sitting in front of the TV, seemingly affected by the atmosphere of the TV scene, or other factors, can't help but get up from their chairs and sofas.

Feeling the warm atmosphere that seemed to be boiling over the entire stadium, Ye Chin raised his hands high and waved to cheers all the way to all the spectators around the venue.

Accompanied by the sound of the entrance music, with Youssé-Bot and Asafaville, they walked behind the bright yellow auspicious clouds that looked like "Jade Belt Xiangyun".

The runway in front of the podium was surrounded by media reporters from all over the world. At this moment, all of them had their cameras pointed at them. The spotlight kept flickering, like the stars in the sky, almost dazzling people's eyes.

After standing behind the Xiangyun award platform, Ye Qin saw the guests who were in front of them at the award ceremony.

It was a gray-haired old man with a slightly crooked figure, dressed in a decent suit, and his withered face was full of warm smiles at the moment.

Samaranch!

Even if Yeqin is not familiar with many big players in many sports circles, he recognized the old man at a glance when he saw this old man appear.

As the former chairman of the Olympic Organizing Committee, this old man has tremendous support for Yanjing's successful bid to host the Olympics. China's first table tennis queen became a member of the International Olympic Athletes Committee under the recommendation of Samaranch, and thus became the first Chinese athlete to enter the International Olympic Committee.

Ye Qin once heard that this old man, in response to the West’s support for Yenching’s hosting of the Olympics, said that he would award China’s first gold medal in this Olympics.

However, what he didn't think about was that the old man appeared in front of him and was about to award him a gold medal.

Standing beside Yechin, Youssé Bot and Asafaville were also a little excited. Samaranch has a huge international influence as the former chairman of the Olympic Organizing Committee, and he is 87 years old this year. Presenting awards to a few people will undoubtedly be a worthy note in his career.

"Ok?"

Just after Yechin's eyes fell on Samaranch, the award-presenting guest, suddenly he once again noticed a familiar figure holding a tray next to him.

He wore a long skirt with a green stand-up collar and waist, with an exquisite make-up with a smile of joy, and his eyes kept falling on him.

In an instant, Ye Qin's face was almost filled with the happiest smile.

I stand on the highest podium, and you hold me the winning gold medal. There is nothing more beautiful in the world than this!

After the sound of the award-giving music that combined the agitated sound of chimes and jade chimes and tunes sounded, the award-giving guest Mr. Samaranch was first introduced on the spot, which aroused huge applause from the entire stadium.

Then the on-site broadcast of the conference came out in due course of two hosts, a man and a woman, broadcasting to everyone in passionate Chinese and English:

"...The one who won the bronze medal in the men's 100 meters at this Olympic Games is Asafaville from Jamaica. He asked him to be on the podium..."

Asafaville pursed his mouth, and slowly walked up to the podium on the right amidst the expectations of everyone, holding his hands high and gestured to everyone in the audience.

"...The one who won the silver medal in the men's 100 meters at this Olympics is Jamaican athlete Youssé Bot. He was invited to be on the podium..."

When Youssé-Bot heard his name appear, he first held his chest with one hand, and made a horoscope gesture on his chin with the other, then suddenly grinned, showing white teeth, and stood on the podium.

The men's 100 meters race has ended. He is a silver medal. This honor is a bit regretful for him, but it is also precious. Because this is a result that can win gold in any event, but it has encountered a stronger opponent!

However, there is still 200 meters!

After Youssé Bot stood on the runner-up's podium, the applause, whistles, and cheers of the audience once again entered the warmest time.

"It is the Chinese athlete who won the men's 100m gold medal in this Olympic Games~www.wuxiaspot.com~Ye Qin!"

At the moment when he heard his name, Ye Qin seemed to feel a flame in his heart exploding suddenly.

He had completely forgotten all the preparations he had thought about before the game. He just took a light breath, pulled the hem of his clothes, and jumped onto the podium.

360 degrees waved to all the audience in the venue, the huge noise pierced the sky.

"Congratulations, child, your performance on the field is the only thing I have seen in my life!"

Samaranch took a slow pace, walked to Ye Qin, stretched out his hand and shook Ye Qin's hand.

At this time, Chen Zixi, dressed in a long skirt with a green stand-up collar and waist, walked over with a tray at the right time.

Her steps are steady, her movements are light, and every move is full of beauty, but the moment Samaranch picked up the gold medal from the tray, her eyes fell on Yeqin again unconsciously.

Ye Qin, you did it!

You became the number one in the world!

The teenagers who ran from the ridges, trails, rivers, beaches and forests in the countryside finally reached the highest stage in the world without stopping!

Such a you, even if I had never dreamed of it before!

And the moment Ye Qin lowered his head to accept the gold medal, he also looked at her!

I see you!

...

"Ladies and gentlemen, please stand up and play the national anthem of the People's Republic of China!"

The solemn and high voice of the host of the conference broadcast came from the loudspeakers in every corner of the venue.

The sound of crashing sounded almost like a torrential rain. It was the sound made by all 90,000 spectators standing up at the same time.

Six standard-bearers, dressed in white uniforms and elevated in shape, walked into the stadium in a neat and upright line, and the solemn and sacred "March of Volunteers" sounded.
