Historical pictures are presented today

——The first day of the Olympic Games

China’s history is as profound as endless treasures Mineral deposits can be found at random.

This is the case for today’s Olympic opening ceremony.

The scene is grand, the colors are gorgeous, the concept is romantic, and the culture is profound. This is simply a visual feast, a public carnival. What I remember most is the opening, with the huge and shocking 29 fireworks footprints, the singing and countdown, as well as the star-shaped five-ring logo, the movable type printing display and the beautiful ink painting.

Tears are pain and relief

——The second day of the Olympic Games

Du Li cried.

A 26-year-old girl who has won almost all air rifle shooting competitions cried. What is unforgettable is her bright smile in the last Olympics.

Why is there such a difference between crying and laughing?

We cannot just think that it is the pressure, the pressure of defending the title, the pressure of the home court, the pressure of the media, and the pressure of winning the first Olympic gold that caused her to perform abnormally. It cannot just be said that her psychological quality is not up to par and she does not have a peaceful mind.

I believe friends who have practiced shooting have a feeling that the probability of reaching a predetermined value for each shot will never exceed 50%. It is like tossing a coin, half of which points to success and half to failure.

As a sport with natural luck and error rates, success or failure is a common occurrence.

She was first in the last session and fifth in this session, which is actually normal. And there is absolutely nothing abnormal about it.

But why did she cry so sadly?

I think it’s really because of the pain. This kind of pain can only be understood through personal experience. The cruel training day and night, the huge expectation of winning the championship at home, the endless dream of championship honors, and the unprecedented pressure from above, below, left and right. Don't just see the scenery and glory when they win the championship, but also the various torments and hardships they endured before.

So I would like to say that tears are pain, but also a kind of relief.

Girls and boys, you are all relieved compared to the Chinese athletes who finished the race (perhaps including other countries, but it is not obvious that they can be similar).

To surpass yourself does not rely on slogans but on strength

——The third day of the Olympic Games

Today, the Olympic gold medal As the game gained momentum, the Chinese team won four gold medals in one go. In addition to yesterday's two gold medals, the Chinese team took the lead on the gold medal list. The United States, South Korea, and even the Czech Republic also won gold and silver, causing quite a stir.

But the general feeling today is that surpassing yourself does not rely on slogans, but on solid strength.

This is the case for American swimming prodigy Phillips. He claimed to win the first of eight gold medals and easily broke the world record.

The Korean women's archery team is like this. No matter how well the Chinese team performs, the championship still belongs to them, because the only thing they have is strength. With this kind of strength, even the commentator did not realize that he said ridiculous lines such as "Korean people have archery genes" and "The word "Yi" in Dongyi means a person pulling a bow."

The same goes for our young man from Hunan, Long Qingquan. Winning the gold medal was so easy that the suspense had nothing to do with weightlifting.

The Czech man and the Chinese girl Guo Wenjun on the shooting range are still like this. Not to mention the two Chinese girls diving, other countries in the world did not have this fantasy a few years ago.

The same is true for the most reviled Chinese football. No matter how loud the slogan of the top four is shouted, strength determines everything. Now it has not even touched the threshold of the top eight. Those so-called "superstars" and "big guys" are simply a joke. Just imagine, it would be better to just select twenty of our hard-working Hunan rural children and train for a few years. They will definitely be better than them. Even if they can't beat Brazil and Belgium, But it's guaranteed to tire them out.

Water Cube, a surprising place

——The fourth day of the Olympic Games

Compared to the Bird's Nest Personally, I prefer the Water Cube, which is delicate and elegant, romantic and solid.

Today, US President Bush and the legendary richest man Gates are watching the game together here. Some people say that this is the first time that the most powerful person and the richest person have shaken hands at the Olympics.

After the Olympic Games started, the Water Cube has indeed met people's expectations and continued to surprise people. After several new world records and Olympic records were set yesterday, it has once again become the focus of people today.

In the men's 100-meter breaststroke final, Japanese player Kosuke Kitajima won the championship in 58.91 seconds and broke the world record. He was the first player in the world to enter 59 seconds in this event. The United States' 4x100m freestyle relay also broke the world record. There were also two Olympic records set in the finals. It was in the preliminaries that Phillips broke the Olympic record in the 200-meter butterfly.

The two-day water competition produced 8 gold medals, and actually set 4 world records and 6 Olympic records.

Of course, the Chinese Army won three more gold medals in weightlifting and diving today, continuing to lead the gold medal list. There are also attractions in fencing, shooting and other competitions.

But as a person who grew up by the water, apart from the three big balls of football, basketball, and volleyball, and the three small balls of table tennis, badminton, and tennis, my favorite thing is swimming.

The Water Cube is undoubtedly one of the most interesting water tracks in history.

Regrets of four years and regrets of twenty-four years

——The fifth day of the Olympic Games

Competition Sports has always been an activity full of regrets.

Failure is not necessarily regretful, nor is it even painful, but the loser with the strongest strength must be regretful and also painful.

The Chinese men’s gymnastics team has such a four-year regret. Four years ago in Athens, they had superior strength and tried their best, but due to various reasons, they failed to win. Today at the Olympic Games held in my country, my dream finally came true, my regrets were gone, and I won the gold medal without any doubt.

The boys cried. The tears of victory were thought to be joy, but in fact they were more about tears for yesterday.

As a country with the best martial arts spirit and swordsmanship in the world, it has a regret in the Olympics for 24 years. China's young swordsman Zhong Man has a martial arts-like name. He really did not disappoint the Chinese. With his exquisite swordsmanship and powerful swordsmanship, he won the championship with a huge advantage.

However, the regrets in the Olympics have been made up for in one aspect, and they continue in another aspect; this country has realized its dream, and that country has begun to look forward to its dream coming true again. Such stories are happening today in swimming, cycling, judo, weightlifting, shooting, archery, equestrian, wrestling and many other sports.

With the possible exception of diving, the Chinese diving team won the 100th gold medal, and today’s game once again proved the title of “Dream Team”. The huge advantage made such a game a show for the Chinese field. Any regrets? Perhaps this advantage and strength is a pity.

Olympic strongmen and cowards

——The sixth day of the Olympic Games

Although China still maintains its four-day progress The momentum of the hardware industry has seen the total number of gold medals reach 17, but in today's Olympic Games, the most attention-grabbing and admirable person is an Olympic strongman in the Water Cube.

He is Phelps of the United States. He won 6 gold medals in Athens four years ago. Today he has increased his gold medals in Beijing to 5, a total of *** With 11 Olympic gold medals, he has become the athlete with the most gold medals in Olympic history. What's more, he is not over yet. Not only does he still have three gold medals in the Beijing Water Cube, but he is still young and has more and further Olympic dreams.

The Water Cube has become a Rubik's Cube. Not only Phelps can create legends here, but other strong players have also created miracles here. In the women's 200-meter freestyle final, "Mermaid" Pellegrini from Italy broke the world record and won the gold medal. Her performance and beauty allegedly aroused strong interest in "Jordan No. 2" Kobe, who publicly expressed his desire to get to know her.

Today’s competition is dominated by “strong men”, and winning gold medals is usually a huge advantage. In the women's 69kg weightlifting competition, my country's Liu Chunhong broke the world record with 5 out of 6 lifts, which is unprecedented if not unprecedented; in the men's road cycling competition, Swiss Fabian is far ahead; in diving, Shooting, wrestling, judo, gymnastics and other events are also the stage for "strongmen".

But if there are "strong men", there will also be "cowards".

This title has been increasingly pointed at Chinese men's football. Today, they finally said goodbye to the Olympics. After losing to Brazil 0-3, they said goodbye to the audience with a cold sense of humor. As Bai Yansong said, "No one will say goodbye to them."

Because they are not worthy and do not deserve to appear in the Beijing Olympics on the stage of "strong men".

A legend that cannot be copied

——The seventh day of the Olympic Games

Legendary stories are not novels, nor are they Making a movie requires coincidence, plot, and something earth-shattering or shocking. All in all, a legend is the kind of story that you don't expect but is so perfect and consistent.

There are many such legendary stories left in today’s Olympic Games.

The last time Du Li won the Olympic gold medal was August 14th, and today is August 14th again; she lost a long-awaited gold medal four days ago, but got one four days later. The unexpected gold medal; four days ago, her gold medal was lost to a Czech girl, but today she just took back another gold medal from her opponent; her tears a few days ago were a kind of sadness, and her tears a few days later But it is a kind of joy...

I think the cycle of joy and sorrow that Du Li performed in this Olympics will be talked about for a long time.

Similarly, her opponent, the beautiful Czech girl Emmons, is also writing her legend in Beijing. In addition to winning gold and silver, her passionate kiss with her husband showed the purest romance.

The 19-year-old Liu Zige once again won the gold medal for China 12 years later and broke the world record. Isn’t it also a legend? Zhang Juanjuan on the archery field defeated three Korean players in succession, vindicating China's ancient and profound archery culture. How should this legend be recorded?

Today’s legend seems to be more reflected in Chinese athletes.

Veteran Yang Wei finally took off the hat of "the second best player in the world" on the gymnasium. Yang Xiuli won the 78kg judo championship with a slight advantage. The Chinese female swordsman of the women's saber team lost the gold medal by just one strike. This exciting and unexpected event made everyone sigh.

On this day, the Chinese team wrote "China Day" in the Olympics with its superb performance. It has won 22 gold medals, more than half of the second-placed United States.

Undoubtedly, this will be the beginning of another new legend.

Gold Medal and Mother

——The eighth day of the Olympic Games, August 15th

Every day at the Olympic Games, there are too many things to watch, too So many stories, so many touches.

You will cheer for Phelps to continue his dream of "eight gold medals", you will regret that the Chinese women's football team is unable to be eliminated, you will be happy for Du Jing Yuyang to break into the championship hall, you You will be open-minded when Lang Ping leads the US women's volleyball team to defeat the Chinese women's volleyball team, and you will be amazed by the 10,000-meter long-distance race in Ethiopia, a poor country...

But, today, what is even more shocking is the Chinese women's volleyball team. Cao Lei, the 7th Olympic gold medalist.

To be precise, it’s not that she won the championship unexpectedly or surprisingly, but...

Humanistic Olympics

The Olympics have no aesthetics Fatigue

——The ninth day of the Olympic Games, August 16

The Olympic Games have been going on for eight or nine days, but there is no trace of aesthetic fatigue.

Surprise, touching, tragic, breakthrough, you can see everything you think of, and you can also see what you didn’t expect.

The men’s 100-meter “Flying Man” battle is one of the most eye-catching scenes. Bolt, a tall man from Jamaica, has only been practicing 100 meters for only a year, but he has already broken several world records. This time at the Bird's Nest, he pushed the world record to less than eight seconds and seven seconds, once again setting a human time limit.

Phelps won the seventh gold medal as expected, and his breakthroughs were more like performances.

Federer, the big brother in tennis, won his first Olympic gold medal in doubles. He used his performance to raise the level of Olympic tennis competition. Li Na's stoppage in the semi-finals was the best individual result for a Chinese tennis player. Although Zheng Jieyanzi failed to replicate the Chinese women's doubles feat in the last Olympics, tennis is no longer a high threshold in China.

The Chinese men’s basketball team entered the quarterfinals and finally achieved a breakthrough in the three major men’s goals.

However, the most touching person today may still be Zhang Ning. 33-year-old "athletic", with a knee injury that started a hundred days ago, and the pressure of defending her title, everyone is not optimistic about her. But she overturned everyone's doubts and won another Olympic badminton gold medal. This is not a miracle, but a manifestation of her strength; this is not a miracle, but a manifestation of her transcendence.

There is no aesthetic fatigue in the Olympics. The surprise opening of track and field and the climax of the gold medal are opening. Let us face the true meaning of "faster, higher and stronger" in this heartbeat and shock. .

August 17

An incredible day

——The tenth day of the Olympic Games

Every day in the Olympic Games is unexpected, but This day was even more incredible.

The Chinese Legion won eight gold medals in one go on this day, and they were all concentrated in the afternoon and evening. From 4 pm to 10 pm, there was almost one gold medal every half hour. So far, the Chinese delegation has won a total of 35 gold medals, setting a history.

Maybe you will think this is simply unbelievable. Ten years ago, some people would definitely say it was a fantasy. But today, it is a living reality. This reality not only excites you, but also allows you to sink into a deeper level of thinking.

In sports, we need gold medals, and we also need some other things.

What is incredible today lies in the process of producing these gold medals.

The Chinese men’s gymnastics team won a gold medal in this appearance; the diving dream team is also beyond the reach; the table tennis badminton two small balls are even more lonely; and Wang Jiao’s wrestling also makes the opponent lose his temper; However, the four Chinese rowing girls showed what stamina is. They were able to overtake in the last few seconds on a 2,000-meter track.

Phelps finally achieved his "eight gold medals" at the Water Cube, but this time he actually cried. We can also believe that behind his superhuman genius, there is also such bitterness and difficulty.

In the men's 50-meter rifle 3x40 final, the last shot of Emmons from the United States, who was nearly 4 rings ahead, was a bit bizarre. He only shot a 4.4 ring, "giving up" the gold medal to Qiu Jian. His shot shocked the whole world. It is said that one cannot fall twice in the same place, but he did just that. In Athens, he could hit Jia Zhanbo's target with the last shot, and this time he could also hit a super low ring that is rare in a century.

Looking at the post-game embrace between him and his wife, the beautiful Czech shooting champion, many people couldn't help but feel the same sentiments.

This is the Olympics.

This is the unpredictable and incredible nature of sports.
