Chapter 157*

The audience was cheering, and the officials of the General Administration of Sports of China and the leaders of the China Athletics Association who came to watch the game today were even more excited. Can you not be excited? The "double champion" of the sprint event, and this is not a regional competition such as the East Asian Games and the Asian Championships, but a feat accomplished in the World Youth Championship, which is known as one of the three top events in the world track and field. This is a veritable world champion, which was completely unthinkable a year ago.

Think about it, at last year's World University Games, Hu Kai, a student from Tsinghua University, won the first world competition in the history of Chinese track and field, which caused a lot of sensation across the country. However, it was not a professional-level world competition after all, and the two gold medals that Li Tian has won now, in terms of gold content or international influence, are not comparable to those of the previous ones.

At the beginning of 2005, the General Administration of Sports of China had conducted a very comprehensive analysis of the gold medal winning situation of the Chinese delegation at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and assigned the general goal of winning gold in 2008 to the teams of various domestic events. Track and field is one of the major events with the most gold medals in the Olympics, of course, it cannot be ignored. However, considering that the overall strength of the Chinese track and field team is not high, at the 2004 Athens Olympics, only won two gold medals in Xing Huina's women's 10,000 meters and Liu Xiang's men's 110 meters hurdles. Therefore, the task of the 2008 track and field team was set to be

In order to maintain the goal of two and three, this goal is also an extremely challenging task for the Chinese track and field team before. You should know that the Chinese team only won a pitiful silver medal in the World Track and Field Championships. In the men's 110-meter hurdles, although the strength of the American "barrel" Alan Johnson has been declining, French rookie Do Curry has become Liu Xiang's strongest opponent in the 2008 Olympics. The winner can only be seen. In the women's middle and long-distance running event, which has always had an advantage in China, we still have to rely on the veterans to support the overall situation.

Whether our state can remain until two years later is also a very serious problem. In addition, at last year's "10th National Games", Sun Yingjie, one of the leading Chinese women's middle and long-distance running events, was suspended for two years due to the doping incident. The possibility of appearing on the 2008 field was extremely slim, which undoubtedly gave this event a huge blow. It can be said that the goal of the Chinese track and field team to win two gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics was full of difficulties, but now it is completely different. Li Tian's miraculous appearance made everyone see the hope of achieving or even surpassing this goal. Look at it.

His performance in this World Youth Championship was 9.84 seconds in the 100m. If this result was placed in the World Track and Field Championships last year, it would be a complete winner. If he ran into the 20m mark in the 200m mark, he could also enter the top three. He also had the most outstanding 400m and excellent mid- and long-distance running strength, which invisibly added several gold points to the Chinese track and field team. If Li Tian's strength has been enhanced in the past two years, he can fully play his level with his home court advantage in the Olympics and win two to three gold medals... many people have now started to dream of this kind.

The 200m final is the last game this morning. The media reporters on the scene will not let him go easily this time. Li Tian, ​​who successfully completed the pre-match plan, was also very happy. Without the worries about the game, he happily accepted the "bombing" of the reporters.

"Li Tian, ​​what do you think after completing the 'Double Crown' performance?" a reporter asked.

"Thinking? I was thinking, how great it would be if this was on the Olympics!" Li Tian's answer caused a burst of laughter from the reporters.

"Mr. Li Tian, ​​can I understand your words as your goal in the 2008 Olympics? Don't you think this goal is too difficult? After all, the Olympics are not a small World Youth Championship, and world-renowned players like Gatlin and Green are not comparable to young boys like Wright and Bolt." An American reporter immediately grabbed Li Tian's words and looked at the strongest sprint event in his country being "snatched away" by the Chinese in front of him. He still felt unhappy, and after hearing what Li Tian said, he couldn't help but secretly sarcastic about his ignorance.

"It can also be said that, where can people get motivation if they lose their goals? Although it is very difficult to achieve this goal, and there are indeed many high-level players in the world, there are still more than two years before the 2008 Olympics. During this period, I will continue to work hard to make progress. The changes on the court are unpredictable. Who can confirm the final result?" Li Tian could certainly hear the thorn in the words of American journalists, but now his psychological quality is not comparable to that of ordinary people. His performance is neither sad nor arrogant, which makes the Chinese journalists around him secretly applaud.

Li Tian was "sieged" by reporters for more than ten minutes before he said goodbye to piles of microphones and cameras with the help of the organizing committee staff, because the next one was a more exciting moment. It can be said that this is the moment that every participant mobilization campaign most desires - the award ceremony.

"Please follow me in the top three players in the men's 100m final!" Under the guidance of a beautiful etiquette lady arranged by the organizing committee, Li Tian, ​​Wright and Bolt walked out of the arena in a row. Bolt had figured out a lot of things, and had already put down the burden in his heart. Walking at the end of the team, he was naturally waving to the audience in the stands. Wright still did not get rid of the shadow of failure, and still had a stinky expression on his face, as if everyone owed him a million.

Li Tian, ​​who was walking between the two, felt extremely relaxed at this moment, because he not only completed the plan he had formulated before the game, but also realized the oath he made to the national flag on the German arena. Today, in this field, the red star and red flag will flutter over the highest sky. On the way to the podium, looking at the audience who were waving the national flag desperately, Li Tian was extremely satisfied. Every wave of waving to the audience in a stand could cause a craze. At the same time, a song "*" began to be sung on the stands:

"...Five-star red flag, you are my pride, I am proud of you, cheer for you, I bless you, your name is more important than my life..." This inspiring singing made the audience and the audience in front of the TV feel tears in their eyes, and the surging passion fills their whole hearts.

"The following is a men's 100-meter award ceremony for this World Youth Track and Field Championships. IAAF Chairman Mr. Diak is invited to present the award-winning athletes!" The commentary on the scene rang.

"The man ranked third in the 100 meters: Bolt, Jamaica... Second place: Wright, the United States... First place: Li Tian, ​​China!!!" When the commentator on the scene shouted "China", the audience applause was thunderous and refused to stop for a long time.

Li Tian stood on the highest podium wearing a brand new national flag and accepted the congratulations from the audience to him. The beauty, applause and honor, all the athletes were fighting for, Li Tian had everything he had.

"Young man, not bad, not bad! I am very optimistic about you and keep working hard. The future of world track and field belongs to you." When IAAF President Mr. Diak personally hung the golden medal on Li Tian's neck, he held Li Tian's hand tightly and encouraged him. This World Youth Championship is undoubtedly the most satisfying one for him. He felt extremely fond of a 16-year-old Chinese genius boy.

"Thank you, Mr. Chairman, I will continue to work hard!" Li Tian also expressed his gratitude very politely.
Chapter completed!
