Chapter 449 The Olympics Begins
Lin Su'e: "Not asleep?"
Zhang Hong: "Yes, I am nervous~"
Then he sighed, "I wonder if the children have insomnia?"
Lin Su'e: "I think so."
As spectators, they all suffered from insomnia, and the athletes must have been even more nervous.
Zhang Hong: "Will it not affect your performance?"
Lin Su'e spread her hands helplessly: "It depends on them to adjust themselves."
I thought to myself: In this sports meeting, the domestic performance doesn’t seem to be that good.
In fact, she knew that there was a certain relationship between Olympic performance and national status. Later, with the recovery of the domestic economy, the frequency and number of gold medals won in the Olympics increased.
Of course, this is also due to the improvement of economic level and the enhancement of national quality.
Now, it is their first time participating in the Olympics, and the athletes are not familiar with the rules, which makes it easy for them to suffer losses; moreover, South Korea bullies the weak and fears the strong, and the referees are biased in their judgments...
Don’t want to think about it anymore.
The more I think about it, the worse it gets.
Maybe, it will be different.
…
Lin Su'e, Zhang Hong and their group had breakfast and came to the competition venue in a group.
The tickets were issued to them a few days ago and they can watch the entire Olympics.
The Olympic Games usually last no more than 16 days. The Seoul Olympics were held from September 17, 1988 to October 2, 1988.
The Olympic stadium is huge.
It was the first time for everyone to see such a large sports field, and they couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.
Zhang Hong grabbed her sleeve and said, "Sister Lin, this place is too big!"
Lin Su'e smiled and said, "Of course not. There are so many events in the competition, and all the facilities need to be put up there."
Zhang Hong was shocked: "It must cost a lot of money just to build this sports field."
Lin Su'e nodded.
I thought to myself: What is this? It will be magnificent when their country hosts the Olympic Games in 2008! Compared with what she remembered, the Olympic Games today is nothing but a drop in the ocean.
"There's a doubles table tennis match today, Sister Lin, I wonder if your Zhenli will play?"
"Not sure." Lin Su'e shook her head: "We will draw lots on the spot."
Zhang Hong smiled and said, "I am optimistic about Zhenli and hope to win the lottery."
Lin Su'e: "Let it be."
…
The competition officially begins.
Everyone stopped talking and started reading seriously.
On the first day, there will be competitions in a total of 20 sports: gymnastics, swimming, diving and table tennis.
Lin Su'e and the others all looked unhappy after watching the gymnastics and swimming in the morning, because the performances of their own team members were very average and it was obvious that they had no chance of winning a medal.
Halftime break.
Lin Su'e and the others got up to eat.
A group of people spontaneously formed a group and walked together.
"The athletes from other countries are so strong. We signed up for gymnastics but were eliminated in the preliminary round."
"Yeah~"
“It’s shameful.”
"In fact, our national gymnasts were quite good, but they were not familiar with the rules of the competition and were nervous, which led to their defeat."
"Won't the men's swimming relay race later be much better?"
"...Yes, at least I passed the preliminary round."
“…”
Zhang Hong was exceptionally silent.
Lin Su'e knew that she was worried about her daughter, so she patted her shoulder and comforted her: "Don't worry, Xiaolin will be able to do it."
Zhang Hong sighed: "Other countries are too strong. I've seen Xiaolin and her team train, and it feels very tight..."
Lin Su'e could only say, "Just do your best."
Anyway, in her impression, apart from table tennis, no other events in this women's competition won gold medals.
Zhang Hong sighed: "It can only be like this~"
…
afternoon.
The women's diving competition was very exciting and made people exclaim in amazement.
pity.
The Chinese athletes still couldn't hold on to the end.
Therefore, Lin Su'e and the others were not in a very good mood.
After the swimming competition.
Finally, the men's doubles table tennis competition reached the 1/8 finals.
The moment the athlete came out, Lin Su'e subconsciously sat down.
It’s Zhenli!
Zhang Hong said excitedly, "Sister Lin, it's Zhenli, did you see it?"
Lin Su'e nodded heavily.
She didn't expect that Zhao Zhenli would appear on the first day.
Seeing him with a serious face, I prayed in my heart: You must do your best~
The game will start soon.
Lin Su'e watched very seriously.
“Good job!”
"Dunk him."
"Alas~"
“Wow, that’s awesome!”
“…”
Finally, they all cheered: "Ahhh~"
"Zhao Zhenli, Chen He!!!"
“You guys are awesome!”
"Zhao Zhenli!!!"
“…”
Zhang Hong's face was flushed, and she pulled Lin Su'e's arm: "Sister Lin, we got first place, first place!"
This is the best result among all the athletes participating in the competition from China today.
Lin Su'e couldn't stop smiling: "The children are great, they didn't bring shame to our country!"
"Definitely not~"
Zhang Hong: "In my opinion, table tennis is the sport with the best chance of winning a gold medal."
Hearing this.
Lin Su'e was slightly surprised.
Zhang Hong has a very keen sense of perception. As far as she knows, the sport that won the most gold medals this year was table tennis.
The Chinese team won the gold, silver and bronze medals in the women's singles, and also won the gold medals in the men's and women's team competitions. Unfortunately, they did not win any gold, silver or bronze medals in the men's singles competition. .
But, Zhao Zhenli was not in that class.
Maybe this time there will be a change?
After all, as far as she knew, Zhao Zhenli had competed with the women's group and lost less and won more.
However, she was concerned about the bias of the Korean referees and was not very confident. She could only win the gold medal if she completely crushed her opponents. Even the slightest bit of inferiority would not be enough.
…
September 18th, men's and women's singles quarter-finals.
September 19th, women's singles table tennis final.
Just as I remembered, the Chinese team took the first, second and third places.
In the stadium, the "Five-Star Red Flag" was slowly raised and the national anthem was played.
Lin Su'e and others stood up at the same time, their eyes filled with tears, and they clapped loudly.
That day.
Lin Su'e and Zhang Hong returned to the dormitory.
Zhang Hong suddenly asked, "Sister Lin, tomorrow is the men's singles final, right?"
Lin Su'e: "Yes."
Zhang Hong: "The men's singles are in danger. Except for Zhao Zhenli and Zhuang Dong, all of them have been eliminated."
"South Korea has a huge home advantage."
“Besides, the technology is not bad either.”
Lin Su'e pursed her lips even tighter: "Indeed."
Zhang Hong added: "The Korean team now leads the overall score. I hope they can turn the tide."
"I am more optimistic about your Zhenli."
"Although we failed once, we became more courageous after each setback. I think Zhuang Dong has been somewhat affected by this."
The women's singles competition went smoothly, which made people proud and happy, but also less exciting and nervous; the uncertainty of the men's singles was even more worrying.
This is not only Zhang Hong's voice, but also the common voice of other Chinese people present at the scene.
Worth mentioning.
Zhang Hong's daughter Zhang Xiaolin was eliminated in the preliminary round of the swimming competition today. She was depressed and worried for the whole morning. She ran to meet Xiaolin at noon and only then did she feel back to normal.
