The starting gun sounded, and the male track and field athletes rushed towards the finish line like arrows.
Little Lingjun got up from her mother's arms, waved her little fists and shouted: "Come on, come on!"
Little Wei Lie was like a calm general, observing the game with a pair of military binoculars, and suddenly let out a depressed sigh: "Oh, Dad, our Tianjin team members lost, they seem to have finished sixth or seventh."
.”
Zhang Leyi laughed and said: "It's okay. The important thing in sports competitions is to participate."
Little Wei Lie didn't speak anymore, but Little Lingjun in Meng Xiaodong's arms pouted and said, "The Tianjin team members are running so slowly. I even cheered for him, but he still runs so slowly."
Meng Xiaodong said: "Next time you give that uncle more fuel, he will definitely win the championship."
"Really?" Xiao Lingjun asked innocently.
Little Wei Lie curled his lips and interjected: "Of course it's fake."
Xiao Lingjun made a face, stuck out his tongue and said, "You lazy idiot, who asked you to speak?"
While the two siblings were bickering, Vivien Leigh kept shaking her folding fan. It was October in the golden autumn, but it was a pity that it was so hot that people were sweating all over.
At this moment, the announcer's voice came from the live broadcast: "Warm congratulations to Mr. Liu Changchun, an athlete from Liaoning. He won the championship in the just-concluded men's 100-meter final, breaking the national record with an excellent time of 10.7 seconds and tying the national record."
Far Eastern Games record!”
"Wow!"
The entire audience was in an uproar, and then burst into warm applause. Many people stood up excitedly and shouted Liu Changchun's name.
China's male sprinters actually tied the Far Eastern Games record. What does this mean? It means that the Chinese are no worse than the Japanese or any other nation in the Far East. The Chinese are not the "sick men of East Asia."
"Liu Changchun!"
"Liu Changchun!"
"Liu Changchun!"
Everyone chanted the names of the athletes. It seemed that at this moment, Liu Changchun had transformed into a national hero.
Feeling the fanatical atmosphere, Zhou Hexuan couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly. Today's Chinese people are too urgent to prove themselves. Any breakthrough in any field will be regarded as pride by the Chinese people. This strong national self-esteem is extremely important.
In the next men's 200-meter race, Liu Changchun broke the national record again with a time of 22.1 seconds. Unfortunately, he did not break the international record this time.
Not only Liu Changchun performed well, women's track and field events also had good results. Qian Xingsu of the Shanghai team broke three national records in the 100-meter dash, 200-meter dash and 100-meter hurdles. Women's softball, 50-meter dash and many other events
, all broke national records one after another, and some records were even broken by several athletes at the same time.
The announcer's voice of breaking the record again and again attracted cheers from the audience again and again, because everyone truly felt the improvement of the athletes' quality and the improvement of China's sports level.
Perhaps, in ten or twenty years, the Chinese will be able to win medals in the Olympic Games.
When another national record in a competition was broken, some spectators were so excited that they cried. Some even stood on their seats and shouted: "Long live China! Long live the Chinese nation!"
"Long live China!"
"Long live the Chinese nation!"
This sound seemed to be contagious, and more and more spectators joined in. They chanted loudly, and the sound gathered into a wave of enthusiasm, which moved several athletes on the podium to tears.
Zhou Hexuan can understand this feeling very well. When Chinese athletes in later generations made zero breakthroughs on the field, didn't the Chinese people still cry with excitement?
The situation in the Republic of China is even worse now.
So far, only one athlete has participated in the Olympics, and that was because of the stimulation of the puppet Manchukuo.
Just last year, the puppet Manchukuo applied to participate in the International Olympic Games. Although it did not receive final approval, it still made countless people angry. The Nanjing government quickly followed suit and applied to participate in the Olympic Games.
However, in the huge Republic of China, only two athletes signed up, Liu Changchun and Yu Xiwei. Among them, Yu Xiwei was unable to leave due to various reasons, and Liu Changchun became the first and currently the only Chinese athlete to participate in the Olympics.
China has no experience in participating in such international events. Apart from Liu Changchun himself, there is only one team leader accompanying him. Moreover, the day after arriving in the United States is already the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, so Liu Changchun has no time to rest and adjust at all.
Due to the impact of the three-week flight, Liu Changchun, who was originally very capable, was exhausted. He originally signed up for three track and field events, but ended up running out of energy after only running two events, and did not participate in the remaining one event at all.
Moreover, in the two competitions Liu Changchun participated in, he only finished last in the group stage. He seemed to have confirmed his status as the "sick man of East Asia", which made Japanese players laugh at him.
The most heartbreaking thing is that Liu Changchun did not have enough travel expenses after participating in the Olympics. It was with the help of local overseas Chinese that he scraped together enough money to buy a boat ticket to return home.
Zhou Hexuan didn't know about this. He only heard about it two days ago, and he immediately had the idea to help athletes. Zhou Hexuan had no other skills, but he had a lot of money. He wanted to spend money to set up a training center in Nanjing to help athletes in the National Games.
The first, second and third runners-up will receive scientific training, and at the same time, they will be funded to participate in the next International Olympic Games.
The National Games lasted for ten days. On the fourth day, the 60,000-person auditorium suddenly filled up.
Zhou Hexuan was surprised at first, but then he figured out the situation. It turned out that it was because women's swimming was included in the National Games for the first time. Many spectators came to see the surprise, and even many old scholars with stubborn ideas came.
The women's swimming competition is about to begin, and the female athletes appear in swimsuits one after another, and all kinds of exclamations burst out from the audience.
"Don't look at anything that's inappropriate, don't come near anything that's inappropriate!"
"Sin, sin! When a woman takes a bath and invites people to see her, there is no shame in the world!"
"It's really ridiculous! The world is deteriorating and human relations no longer exist."
"..."
The old gentlemen suddenly changed their expressions and stood up and left the table one after another. Some even ran away on crutches.
Seeing the empty seats in the auditorium, Zhou Hexuan couldn't help but smile bitterly. It seems that it is not only the physical fitness that needs to be improved, but also the ideological quality of the people. It is just a swimsuit, which is the most primitive and conservative one-piece swimsuit.
Exposing legs and arms can actually scare countless audiences into leaving their seats.
At the same time, the reporters at the scene were excited.
Even reporters from the volleyball and tennis venues rushed over and took crazy photos of the female athletes in swimsuits.
Those female swimmers were originally relatively stable and decent. But when they saw this situation and the pressure of the competition, they suddenly became nervous and cramped. One athlete was so frightened that she passed out with dysmenorrhea and was carried away by her coach.
