Chapter 233 The Power of Example
After the men's team won the championship, it was already past 5 pm London time. It was not dark, but it was already time for dinner. However, the audience stayed at the scene because there was an award ceremony after the competition.
If the previous competition was a process, then the award ceremony was a result.
Team USA won the third place, they defeated their strong rival Ukraine in the third and fourth finals.
When Allison came on stage, his eyes kept looking at the Chinese team behind the highest podium, with indescribable envy in his eyes.
"I invite Mr. Bastian Co, President of the London International Olympic Committee, to present the award to Team USA."
Amid the presentation of the host, the confident Bastian Ko walked towards the podium under the guidance of etiquette.
This year is a special year for Bastian Koe, as IOC President Roger will usher in his resignation period and he is also trying to run for the IOC through his performance in the London Olympic Committee.
In an interview with the media not long ago, Bastian Coe bluntly stated that the theme of the London Olympics is frugality, which is in line with the theme of global green development. He also bluntly stated that the 2008 Kyoto Olympics was too extravagant and wasted. He believed that his proposition would definitely win valuable votes for himself in the election.
Bastian Co walked to the podium with confidence, congratulations to the players of Team USA, and then picked up the bronze medal and put it on one by one.
His face was full of smiles. If he succeeded in the election, he would continue to experience these things in the future Olympics, and he had to learn to adapt in advance.
After Bastian Coe presented the award, he took a photo with the team members of the United States.
Under the leadership of Allison, the members of Team USA made the move of biting the medal.
This action, when biting, reveals teeth and smiles naturally come out. It has been often used by Americans as a celebration move in the past.
The reporters have already posed for photos.
But at this moment, something unexpected happened.
Team USA's main player Allison, perhaps to be eye-catching in the camera, has an exaggerated expression and is very powerful when biting the gold medal. After this, he bit off the gold medal...
Alison looked confused.
The reporters took a photo of this scene right now.
Bastian Coe looked back and saw this scene with an indescribable embarrassment.
Before the opening of the Olympic Games, there were rumors that the gold content of this Olympic medal was the lowest in history. It is said that this bronze medal was only worth 3 pounds, which is equivalent to RMB 30. From this scene, it can be seen that this rumor is not groundless.
Fortunately, Allison reacted quickly and directly put down the gold medal.
But the gold medal with a missing corner is particularly eye-catching in the reporter's camera.
The award ceremony continued, and when Bastian Coe came to an end, not many people paid attention to the medals.
"The Korean team won the runner-up of the men's archery team!" The host of the scene continued to shout loudly.
The Korean team members' expressions were ridiculous. For them who were determined to win the championship, a silver medal obviously could not satisfy them.
"The Chinese team won the championship of the men's archery team!" The host on the scene shouted in a lengthened voice.
With the host's shout, the scene fell into a boiling and carnival again. They witnessed the birth of a historical scene at the scene in London.
Amid the cheers of the audience, Tang Hao, Qiu Tian and Ning Ze held hands and jumped onto the podium together, holding their hands with smiles on their faces.
This is the glorious moment for the Chinese team.
“IOC President Mr. Jacques Roger is invited to present the award to the champion.”
In the exciting background music, the etiquette lady on the scene guided Roger, the current president of the International Olympic Committee.
Roger has been in office in 2001 for 8 years and has been successfully re-elected after 2008, reaching a maximum term of 12 years. This year is his curtain call.
It is completely different from Bastian Ko. Roger is very emotional about China. After all, for the president of the Olympic Committee, the most core of the Olympics is to be held well. The Kyoto Olympics can be said to be an absolute example.
At the last moment, he was happy to see the Chinese make history from the bottom of his heart.
After appearing now, he expressed his congratulations to the Chinese team members from the heart.
Especially when facing Tang Hao, he seemed a little excited: "Congratulations, Jesus, one day you will become the image ambassador of the Olympics."
Tang Hao was also a little surprised and shook hands with Roger with a smile.
After Roger gave the Chinese team members a gold medal, there was a burst of cheers like a sea of cheers.
The Chinese team members held the gold medal in one hand and flowers in the other, greeting the cheers of the audience.
This moment is a moment of glory for the Chinese.
When the award ceremony ended, the flag-raising ceremony began on the spot.
"Get up, people who don't want to be slaves!"
Accompanied by the passionate volunteer march, the five-star red flag hung from the top of the flagpole and rose slowly.
The Chinese at the scene seemed very excited, and many British audiences also whistled excitedly.
After the Beijing Olympics, the national anthem once again resounded over the Olympic venues.
After the award ceremony, Tang Hao and his teammates were soon surrounded by reporters.
For them who made history, they are obviously the most popular athletes on this venue today.
"Dang, can you share with us what you feel after defeating the South Korean team in the Olympics??"
"Dang, this is your second defeat to the South Korean team after the Asian Games and defeating the South Korean team in succession. Can you share your experience with us?"
"Qiu Tian, you performed very well today. Can you share with us the reason why you performed well?"
...
The reporters' questions followed one after another.
"We are very excited that beating the South Korean team is the result of our group's efforts together." Tang Hao said with a smile.
On the other side, Qiu Tian was also answering reporters' questions.
"Brother Tang." Qiu Tian pointed to Tang Hao beside him and said with a smile, "He is my role model. After the Youth Olympic Games, I regarded him as my target and target of catching up. This is why I performed well."
"Yes, Tang is a good role model." The reporter nodded.
When Tang Hao heard about himself, he turned his head.
Qiu Tian glanced at Tang Hao and continued: "During today's game, I was actually very nervous. It was Tang who encouraged us in his way. The subsequent game was his way, which made us all relax our mindset. He is our well-deserved core."
After listening to Qiu Tian's words, the audience suddenly realized that this unknown scene had happened in the game. They looked at Tang Hao again. This already tall image became as tall as a mountain at this moment.
