Chapter 70 Chapter 70
Chu Xi won.
Song Anshan clenched his fists excitedly, looked at Lu Meng beside him, tears welling in his eyes.
Lu Meng also smiled.
The gold medal that she failed to win was won by her teammates, and the first gold medal went to the Chinese shooting team.
The moment the reporters at the competition saw the results come out, they all turned their cameras to Chu Xi, recording the moment when the first Olympic gold medalist won the championship.
"Ever since she started shooting, Chu Xi has been hailed as a dark horse shooting prodigy, with audiences and fans placing countless expectations and hopes on her. With her astonishing skill, shot after shot, she has made her way from domestic competitions to the Olympics. Now, she has achieved another level of glory."
"Let us remember her name, Chu Xi, the first Olympic gold medalist!"
Xu Yingzhe continued to explain with great excitement.
At the same time, Wu Yuliang and others in the audience couldn't help but yell.
Qi Xiayan's expression revealed an indescribable joy. For some reason, after hearing the words "Chu Xi won", tears welled up in her eyes.
"Oh my god! We won!!" Fang Ruinian, who was far away in the UK, excitedly stood up from his computer, his hands clenched into fists, his eyes filled with tears.
"Brother! Our sister won! Damn! The first Olympic gold medal!" Her friend Ji Le also shouted excitedly beside her.
Sports competition always brings people the purest enjoyment.
Whenever you see athletes from your country fighting hard to win glory for their country, you will always be infected by their passionate spirit.
At this moment, the entire Internet was boiling.
Not only were Chinese people excitedly promoting the first Olympic gold medal, but major foreign media outlets also published related news.
#Chu Xi won#, #Chu Xi's first Olympic gold#, #Lu Meng's bronze medal#
The top of Weibo's hot search list is dominated by shooting competitions.
[Ahhhhhhhh! I told you Chu Xi is fine!]
[Awesome! At the San Lito Olympics, two national flags will be raised for the first game!]
[Chu Xi really made us proud. This girl is awesome!]
The Olympics' audience encompassed virtually all of China, young and old. Not only were young people excited, but many older generations were also celebrating at home.
Chu Xi's name became the hottest word of the day. Even people who didn't watch the games or pay attention to the Olympics began to hear about Chu Xi's deeds.
At this time, somewhere in a high-end apartment.
Xu Qianqian stared at the Olympic Games broadcast with excitement.
Chu Xi wins! The first Olympic gold medal belongs to China!
When Xu Qianqian heard the commentator say these two sentences, her whole body began to boil uncontrollably.
As a Chinese, no one would not be moved by the fact that the Chinese team won.
After her emotions gradually calmed down, Xu Qianqian lowered her head and touched her nose, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed in her heart.
Thinking about how she had used various means to compete with Chu Xi for resources, at this moment, it suddenly became a bit clownish.
Forget it, I guess Chu Xi no longer cares about her little tricks.
Another private mansion.
Xia Yan stared at the live broadcast of the game, holding the wine glass tightly in her hand, feeling a little complicated.
Two years ago, she and Chu Xi met once on a film crew.
At that time, Chu Xi was just an 18th-tier unknown star, playing a passerby in the crew who didn't even have a frontal shot of his face.
And she is the heroine of the whole drama.
There was little interaction between the two.
The crew had a dinner party that day, and the director took Xia Yan to an empty box to be intimate.
Although Xia Yan was unwilling, she had to socialize and curry favor with the director.
The intimate scene between the two was seen by Chu Xi who accidentally walked into the wrong door.
When the crew party was over, Chu Xi accidentally bumped into Xia Yan before leaving. She apologized and then gave Xia Yan a smile.
Xia Yan thought that smile was Chu Xi's mockery of her actions.
In the outside world, Xia Yan is the goddess in everyone's heart.
But her most unbearable side was seen by Chu Xi.
From then on, her dislike for Chu Xi grew uncontrollably.
She tried every possible means to prevent the programs and footage in which Chu Xi participated from being broadcast, and she also won over Xu Qianqian, who was in the same company as Chu Xi, to help Xu Qianqian get promoted and suppress Chu Xi.
But when she saw Chu Xi win the first Olympic gold medal, Xia Yan realized that she was wrong.
She has never been taken seriously by the other party.
From this moment on, Chu Xi has become an Olympic champion that she will never be able to catch up with in her lifetime.
…
At the competition site, the usually calm Chu Xi finally smiled when he saw the results.
The smile on her face was captured by the camera.
This was the first time Chu Xi smiled after a competition since he started.
Reporters at the scene rushed to the front row of the filming area, just to be the first to capture Chu Xi's demeanor after winning the championship.
The referee then announced the top three in standard English.
Lu Meng returned to the competition field.
She and Song Lingmei stood on either side of Chu Xi, and the three of them greeted the audience with a smile.
Flashes of light kept going off, and the sound of filming was like artillery bombardment.
After taking photos, the three contestants left the stage one after another.
Song Anshan walked towards Chu Xi and Lu Meng with a smile on his face, raised his hand and patted their arms respectively, "Well done!"
With a first gold medal and a bronze medal, Song Anshan could not find any fault with this competition.
Song Anshan brought the two to the backcourt, and the reporters who had been waiting in the backcourt interview area immediately rushed over.
"Coach Song, are Chu Xi and Lu Meng available for an interview now?"
"When will Chu Xi be available for an interview?"
The Chinese reporters were relatively polite. When they rushed up to us, they stopped and politely asked if it was convenient.
Song Anshan stopped the reporters and said, "Time is limited, everyone come one by one. Our players have a mixed team competition the day after tomorrow, so they need to rest and adjust their condition later."
The reporters quickly stood in an orderly manner and began the interview: "I would like to ask Chu Xi, what do you think of your performance in this game?"
Chu Xi: "I think it's pretty good."
It was the next reporter's turn: "What was going through contestant Chu Xi's mind when he fired his last shot?"
Chu Xi: "Actually, I didn't think much about it. I just wanted to do my best to make the last shot a success."
Afterwards, the reporter asked Lu Meng a few more questions.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Song Anshan on the side hurriedly stopped the interview: "The interview is almost over, let's stop here for today."
As soon as he appeared, the reporters immediately turned the microphone to Song Anshan.
"Coach Song, may I ask how you discovered Chu Xi's talent for shooting?"
Looking at the microphone that was already at his lips, Song Anshan cleared his throat and said, "I will answer this last question. I first discovered Chu Xi on a variety show. At that time, Chu Xi was still an artist. When I saw her archery posture, I guessed that this child must have the energy to learn shooting, and she might have quite a talent."
"But there wasn't much time left before the Olympics. I was worried that asking this child to change careers at the last minute would actually harm her, so I contacted the provincial team coach to explore Chu Xi's potential."
"What we all didn't expect was that Chu Xi had a really good talent for shooting. She won the championship in her first National Shooting Championship. That was when the provincial team coach and I were sure of Chu Xi's shooting talent."
…
The reporter immediately updated the interview with Song Anshan on the domestic Internet.
In a short while, the number of views exceeded 100,000.
Chu Xi was actually an entertainer before?! I'm shocked. Even after temporarily switching careers to become an athlete, she's already this skilled.
[This is genius, right? Like the 18-year-old Song Lingmei from the Korean team. Compared to that, our Chu Xi is still more awesome.]
[Holy crap! Chu Xi is amazing! He switched careers to become an athlete, made it to the Olympics in two years, and even won the first gold medal!]
…
After the on-site interview, Chu Xi and Lu Meng changed into the shooting team's award-winning uniform, a red and white casual sportswear provided by the Jiyue brand.
The award presenter was Mr. Bhat, Vice President of the International Shooting Federation.
He was slightly plump and dressed in a tight-fitting suit, with a kind smile on his face. When he presented the gold medal to Chu Xi, his smile became even more kind.
"Congratulations!" Bahat congratulated Chu Xi using the Chinese he had just learned today.
Chu Xi smiled back at him, "Thank you."
She bent down and took the trophy from Chairman Bhat. The gold medal representing the honor of the champion hung around her neck, gleaming with brilliance.
The process of raising the national flag and playing the national anthem.
The three contestants put down their trophies, turned around and saluted the national flag.
The loud national anthem resounded throughout the venue, and the audience sang along in unison. The uniform national anthem made people feel as if they were competing in their motherland today.
In the live broadcast room, Xu Yingzhe and Dong Wenyue watched the ceremony together.
"The first Olympic gold medal event is over, but this is just the beginning. In two hours, the qualifying round for the women's 10-meter diving platform will begin. And tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, the highly anticipated table tennis events will also begin. Please continue to look forward to it."
After Xu Yingzhe finished speaking, the broadcast screen in the live broadcast room disappeared at the same time.
[Ah ...
Tomorrow, the air rifle and rifle qualifying rounds for the shooting event will begin, and the day after tomorrow will be the mixed team competition between Chu Xi and Lu Wenxuan. The first few table tennis matches are generally guaranteed wins, so you can watch and see. The semifinals and finals will be the most exciting.
[And fencing! They won gold last year, but I wonder how they'll fare this year.]
[The most exciting diving and weightlifting events are later, so watch them in a few days.]
After the shooting competition, Chu Xi and Lu Meng went straight back to the Olympic Village to rest.
On the bus back, they met many athletes from other events. They were all very friendly and ran to Chu Xi to congratulate him.
"Awesome! China finally won the first gold medal! Sister Chu Xi, you deserve all the credit."
"With your gold medal as encouragement, we can have a little more confidence in the competition."
Song Kexin from the women's table tennis team also smiled and patted Chu Xi's shoulder, "Wait, I'll bring you a sign too!"
After returning to the apartment and lying down, Chu Xi breathed a sigh of relief.
The mixed group project is the day after tomorrow, so I can’t let go of this anger completely.
Lu Meng, who was in another bedroom, suddenly walked in with a smile on her face, her phone in hand. "Look on Weibo! Someone made Coach Song into an emoticon. It's quite cute. I'm dying of laughter."
Chu Xi got up from the bed and looked over curiously, "What emoticon?"
Lu Meng sat down on the edge of the bed and turned the phone screen sideways.
Song Anshan clenched his fists and looked so excited with tears in his eyes that netizens gave him rabbit ears.
The emoticons are animated pictures. Every time they move, Song Anshan clenches his fists with tears in his eyes, and he has rabbit ears on his head.
"Puchi——" Chu Xi couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Coach Song always appears serious and cold in front of them.
The contrast is really huge when she suddenly becomes so soft and cute.
…
At this time, in the school auditorium in Anyang City, Jiangbin Province.
The cheers gradually died down, but everyone's face was still filled with joy.
Leaders from the Sports Bureau came forward to shake hands and hug Fang Xiangyun and Zhu Lifang.
"Thank you both for cultivating such an outstanding talent for China. Our entire Anyang City is proud of Chu Xi!"
The teachers at Chu Xi’s alma mater also felt an indescribable sense of pride.
At this moment, there is nothing she can be more proud of than having trained an Olympic champion.
Everyone gathered around Fang Xiangyun and Zhu Lifang, saying all kinds of congratulations.
Outside, the sound of firecrackers rang out one after another, occasionally interspersed with shouts: "Chu Xi won! Our school's senior sister Chu Xi won the first Olympic gold medal!"
Soon, it was Fang Xiangyun and Zhu Lifang's turn to be interviewed.
The reporter, holding a camera, stood in front and asked, "What was the reason that made you two decide to send Chu Xi to learn shooting?"
Fang Xiangyun coughed lightly. "This is something the child wanted to learn on her own. Her coach even came to me at the time and said Chu Xi did have a talent for shooting, but we didn't expect her to win a championship or anything like that. As she practiced more and more, she participated in more and more competitions, and when she told us later, she was going to the Olympics."
The reporter smiled knowingly, "So, Chu Xi is indeed a talented player. Do you two know what Chu Xi's usual training is like? Can you tell us in detail?"
Zhu Lifang said: "Her training was incredibly tiring! Before the Olympics, her coach took a bunch of them to climb a snowy mountain. It was so high, so cold, and everyone had to hike up. Just imagine how tiring it must have been."
The reporter smiled and nodded, "Yes, we all know that the training for athletes is still very arduous."
…
At this time, well-informed reporters had already blocked the door of Chu Xi's former company.
Wang Yang, who was about to go out to play golf, was blocked downstairs by a group of people.
"Mr. Wang, I heard that Chu Xi worked for your company for a while when she was still an artist. Now, as a national team athlete, she has won the first gold medal for the country in the Olympics. What do you want to say about this?"
Wang Yang was stunned for a moment. He usually didn't pay much attention to the news, but now he realized:
WTF? Chu Xi won her first Olympic gold medal!
