Chapter 140: Oath

Three thousand vibrant young athletes lined up on the grass in the center of the track and field. The grand lineup showed a grand momentum. Every player who came to this field was an elite of his own country and had a common purpose, which was to show his strength and national style to the world. All of this will be achieved on the field. Therefore, everyone is extremely anxious about the beginning of the official competition soon. However, as an international top special competition, various pre-match ceremonies are indispensable.

"The second event of the opening ceremony is now. Please stand up, raise the national flag of the People's Republic of China, and play the national anthem of the People's Republic of China!" After the entry ceremony of all the athletes, Mr. Li Jinkang, Secretary-General of the World Youth Competition Organizing Committee, announced the start of the flag-raising ceremony. Thirty thousand domestic and foreign spectators and guests stood up and stood solemnly. The stadium, which was still noisy just now, became quiet instantly.

"Get up, people who don't want to be slaves will put our flesh and blood..." As the passionate volunteer march played, more than 100 Chinese national youth team members led by Li Tian neatly put their right hands on their hearts, singing the national anthem loudly with the music. The loud voices of more than 100 people immediately covered the entire arena. Gradually, one person, ten people, hundreds of people, and the Chinese audience in the stands began to join their chorus, and more and more people made the same sound, and in the end the chorus of 30,000 people echoed over the field.

"After the ceremony, please sit down! Let's invite Mr. Liu Peng, Director of the General Administration of Sports of China, to speak!" Next, officials from domestic and foreign organizations, including Liu Peng, Director of the General Administration of Sports of China, Comrade Liu Zhihua, Deputy Mayor of Beijing, and Mr. Lanmini Diak, Chairman of the International Athletics Federation, delivered speeches to the opening ceremony of this Beijing World Youth Track and Field Championships. They were not very interested in these same speeches, especially the track and field fans who came to watch the competition and cheered Li Tian were even more impatient.

"The last item of the opening ceremony is to ask the athletes and referee representatives to take an oath!" When Secretary-General Li just finished speaking, Li Tian, ​​who was at the forefront of the Chinese youth team, handed the national flag in his hand to Chen Qiannan behind him, and the crowd came out. Today, in addition to being the flag bearer of the Chinese delegation, he also played another important role at the opening ceremony of this competition, and that was to take an oath as the representative of the 3,000 athletes participating in this competition.

"Dad, mom, look, it's Xiaotian!" Sitting on the VIP seat on the rostrum was a group of people who Li Tian was most familiar with. Sister Zhao Rong came to Beijing from Shanghai last night. In order to record her first episode, it can be said that she was so busy that she didn't even have time to eat during this period. However, in order to come to cheer for my brother, she had to stay up for several nights in a row, and finally completed all the work of the five days ahead of schedule to be able to

Catching up with Li Tian’s game in time. Seeing his younger brother who had been separated for nearly a year and walking towards the rostrum, Zhao Rong was excited and pointed at the figure getting closer and closer and loudly shouting. Her parents and several members of the coaching staff came. Looking at the child who knew nothing about track and field a few years ago, she gradually grew up to be an excellent player under her careful guidance. Now she swears on behalf of all the players in the international competitions, which undoubtedly made them feel extremely proud and satisfied.

"Second sister, you see, I'm right. This representative candidate must be Li Tian. Others are not qualified yet!" A man and a woman sitting not far from Zhao Rong's family. They were the Song siblings who bought two packages from the "scalper party" at a high price. The younger brother Song Jianjun was saying to Song Yali with a proud look on his face.

Song Yali looked quietly at Li Tian who was getting closer and did not respond to Song Jianjun's words. Li Tian, ​​who was wearing the national team uniform, looked even more heroic at this moment. With the faint confident smile on her face, she exuded a strong personal charm all over her body, which strongly attracted everyone's attention.

Li Tian quickly climbed the stairs of the rostrum and took the microphone from Secretary-General Li. At the last German college sports meeting, he gave impromptu speeches to more than 60,000 audiences at the closing ceremony. After that rare experience, the gaze of more than 30,000 compatriots on the scene across the street this time, Li Tian seemed very calm, which shows that his current psychological quality has improved a lot compared to before.

"Dear leaders and dear guests, good morning!" The moment Li Tian picked up the microphone, more than 100 domestic and foreign media reporters who came to the competition site today to report the cameras at him. Through the transmission of satellite signals, Li Tian's image will be broadcast on TV stations in nearly 100 countries and regions around the world.

"On behalf of all the athletes participating in this competition, I hereby take the oath: in this World Youth Track and Field Championships, obey the leadership, abide by the field discipline, respect the referee's judgment, respect the opponents, respect the audience, correctly treat emergencies on the field, compete fairly in the competition, show style, level competition, enhance friendship, always actively participate in every event we participate in with full enthusiasm, and contribute the most exciting competition to all the audience. The oath person: Li Tian; May 13, 2006. Thank you everyone!" Li Tian read the oath he had already recited very calmly and loudly before handing back the microphone to Secretary-General Li again.

"Xiaotian, come on!" Just as Li Tian turned around and was about to walk down the stairs of the rostrum, his extremely familiar call came from behind him. After living together for so long, he was very familiar with Zhao Rong's voice. After stopping, Li Tian turned his head and glanced at the direction of the sound. He soon discovered the group of relatives and friends sitting behind the rostrum. His parents and coaches all came, and they all gave him encouraging eyes. Zhao Rong was there excitedly waving her arms, hoping that Li Tian could discover where she was as soon as possible.

Since the scene was broadcasting around the world, and he was in front of the rostrum at this time, although Li Tian did not dare to say hello to his family and coaches, their arrival undoubtedly made him very happy. So Li Tian gave them a thumbs up with his right hand to express his absolute confidence in the next game.

"Xiaotian will win!" Zhao Rong understood what he meant, and immediately made a "V" gesture to him that represents victory. From childhood to adulthood, she never doubted Li Tian's strength. After Li Tian nodded seriously to her, he turned around and walked off the rostrum with an extremely happy mood.

After Li Tian took the oath on behalf of the athletes, the opening ceremony came to an end, and the most anticipated official competition was followed. According to the schedule of the organizing committee, the first thing that started this morning was the men's and women's 100m preliminaries, and there were also men's high jump preliminaries, women's shot put preliminaries and other events. Among them, the men's 100m preliminaries, which will be played by Chinese genius Li Tian, ​​is the focus of everyone's attention.

After the opening ceremony, more than a dozen players including Li Tian and other morning competitions left the delegation and walked towards the warm-up area set up outside the central track and field competition amid the blessings of their teammates. The other players who did not compete will all sit in the temporary stands specially added by the organizing committee to cheer for their teammates who are about to play.

This time, there are 130 players who have signed up for the men's 100m preliminaries, from more than 70 countries and regions. The Chinese team, as the host, sent three players, including Li Tian, ​​to participate. The 100m competition is divided into four stages: preliminaries, semi-finals and finals. The 130 players will be divided into 16 groups through draws. In the preliminary stage, the top two players in each group will directly enter the next round of rematch. The 32 players entering the rematch will decide the grouping situation of the four groups in the rematch through draws. In the rematch stage, the top two players in each group will advance to the next round of semi-finals. The eight players who will participate in the final will be decided in the semi-finals. The entire competition period is three days. The men's 100m rematch will be held this afternoon. The semi-finals will be held on the second day of the competition and the finals will be held on the third day. The time schedule is very tight.

When Li Tian appeared in the warm-up area with two other teammates participating in the men's 100m preliminaries, more than 100 foreign opponents who had already been on the scene suddenly turned their attention to him. Although most of them only arrived in China for two or three days and had no understanding of Chinese characters and language at all, this did not prevent them from knowing the Chinese boy in front of them, because almost all newspapers and TV recently were full of his news and photos. He just now took the stage to represent all the athletes to take the oath, and it was impossible not to know them.

There were two eyes full of strong fighting spirit in the eyes of the people watching him. One was Wright, who is known as a sprint genius in the United States. Now he has listed Li Tian as the number one enemy in his sports career, because although the strength of the older generation of top sprinters is still higher than that of him, he is still young and is the greatest capital, and he is still improving. The state of those "old people" is beginning to decline. The alternation between the old and the old is inevitable. He believes that he will climb onto their heads one day. Relatively speaking, Li Tiancai, who is three years younger than him, is the biggest threat and the most terrifying competitor to become the world's number one "flying man".

Another person who has a strong sense of competition for Li Tianbao is 19-year-old Jamaican player Bolt. The 19-year-old Jamaican player has begun to make his mark in the international arena last year. Last year, the IAAF ranking of the best men's 200m score in the year, he ranked second with a score of 19.93 seconds, which is only 0.05 seconds away from the first-ranked American veteran Crawford. The reason why he pays special attention to Li Tian is that in addition to Li Tian's strong strength, it is also related to coach Hart, who once coached Li Tian. Two years ago, when Bolt, who was only seventeen years old, went to the United States to study in the United States, he hoped to get coach Hart's guidance, but was rejected by coach Hart. For this reason, he turned to the United States.

Another famous gold medal coach in the country, Coach Campbell, Coach, another famous rival of Coach Hart, has become famous in the international field after more than a year of hard work. However, when he came to China to participate in the competition and learned from the newspaper that Li Tian, ​​a Chinese teenager, had been taught under Coach Hart, he could not believe his eyes. Coach Hart would rather guide a yellow-skinned Chinese than give him any chance to guide him. This made him feel indignant, so he made up his mind to hit this "Hart's student" hard in the competition and prove to Coach Hart that his rejection was a huge mistake. These two strong players will also be the biggest obstacle for Li Tian to dominate the 100-meter track.
