On August 3, the forty-day Olympic training camp ended successfully. Although the training was difficult, the final results were very gratifying. At the group dinner on the last day of the training camp, Liu Peng, director of the General Administration of Sports of China, personally rushed to the base to express his encouragement to all athletes and coaches. He encouraged everyone to work hard to win glory for the country at the Olympics.

On the morning of August 4, more than 60 people from the Chinese track and field team, including all athletes, coaches and related staff, left the Haitang training base and flew back to Beijing on a special plane. At this time, there were only four days left for the Olympic Games to open. Sports fans from all over the country and overseas countries and regions have gathered in the capital, so they were warmly welcomed when the track and field team walked out of the Beijing Capital Airport. The hot scene was not only fanatical Chinese sports fans, but also many foreign "fans" of different skin colors also joined in.

"Wow! It's so lively... Hey, my people are not much smaller than yours!" As soon as he left the airport gate, Gu Feng was surprised to find that among the thousands of sports fans gathered outside the airport, many of them held his posters in their hands. Gu Feng had just made his mark in the Olympic qualifiers and rushed to Haitang Base to participate in the training camp. Naturally, he didn't know how the media hyped him a while ago. Now his popularity and influence in domestic sports are almost about to catch up with Li Tian and Liu Xiang, two representative figures of Chinese track and field track and field track and field track and field track and field track and field track and field track and field track and field track and field track and field track and field track and field track and field track and field track and field track and field trains are called one of the "iron triangle" by the majority of news media and sports fans.

"This is nothing. When you walk on the track of the Olympic stadium, 1.3 billion spectators in China will be your most determined person. That feeling is the real pleasure. The feeling of the Olympics is very different from the feeling of other competitions." Liu Xiang said intimately, holding Gu Feng's shoulder intimately. He is the only one in the "Iron Triangle" who has had an Olympic experience. Even Li Tian, ​​who has long been famous all over the world, is just a "first brother" for the Olympics.

"Wow... I can't stand it anymore. After hearing what you said, my heart was almost itchy!" Liu Xiang's words made Gu Feng's eyes shine. The only official competition he had participated in was the domestic Olympic qualifiers a month and a half ago, but that time was just an internal competition. In the stands, there were no other audience members except for some media reporters, so naturally there was no atmosphere in the field. He once saw Li Tian and Liu Xiang running on the track with great attention on the video. He also saw the shocking scene of tens of thousands of people cheering and shouting for them. In his heart, he fantasized countless times that he became the focus of the entire field like Li Tian and Liu Xiang. Now the opportunity is in front of him.

"Look at your promising momentum, you are so excited before you even started. At that time, don't lose your chain against the nearly 100,000 spectators on the scene. You'll be so scared that your legs are weak." Li Tian slammed from the side.

"Tsk, I know that I am still so excited." Gu Feng murmured in discontent that he was naturally Li Tiandi's eyes.

Faced with these three "national treasure-level" star figures, the sports fans at the scene were in agitation, so the security personnel naturally did not dare to be negligent. From the moment Li Tian and the other two walked out of the airport, each of them surrounded by three tall and strong bodyguards to resist the numerous idle people trying to get close to the three. Under the strict protection of the security personnel, Li Tian and others could only simply say hello to the many people who had been waiting for a long time and hurriedly boarded the special car to the Olympic village. Today is the day when the Chinese Olympic delegation moved into the Olympic village.

Beijing Olympic Village is located in Area B, Beijing Olympic Park, covering an area of ​​66 hectares, divided into two parts: residential area and international area, with a total construction area of ​​520,000 square meters. It is the largest in previous Olympic Games, and can provide good accommodation services to 16,000 athletes, coaches and other officials from various countries. Since its full completion at the end of 2007, after more than half a year of careful renovation, the facilities and supporting management of the entire Olympic Village have been perfected. Now, Olympic delegations from more than 100 countries and regions such as the United States, Britain, France, and Italy have moved in. Even American athletes who are the least picky about residential conditions have praised the facilities and services of the Olympic Village.

"Team leader Luo, did the German team arrive in Beijing?" In addition to the teammates of the track and field team who went to the Olympic Village with Li Tian and others, they also included Luo Chaoyi, the leader of the Chinese track and field team at this Olympic Games. Although Li Tian has not contacted several German friends for so long, he is still very concerned about their situation. He has long known that all the "four people" have been selected into the main lineup of the German track and field team, especially in the men's 800m event, Li Tian and Cademan will have a face-to-face contest.

"Why, do you want to meet your old friend soon?"

"Yes, they gave me a lot of help when I was studying in Germany. This time they came to China, they naturally had to entertain them well." Li Tian remembered that he still owed several big meals to the "four group".

"The German delegation arrived this afternoon. We will check in to the Olympic Village earlier than them." Luo Chaoyi smiled.

At 12 o'clock noon, the Chinese Olympic delegation approved 20 luxury buses taken by 600 members to drive into the Olympic Village neatly under the police car's opening. This time, the Olympic Organizing Committee specially arranged all the residential buildings of the Olympic Village and the No. 2 residential buildings to the Chinese team, and all members of the track and field team were assigned to the fifth floor of Building 1. Li Tian and Gu Feng were still separated, but the residential conditions were much better than those in the Haitang Training Base, at least reaching the three-star or above standard.

"The German delegation is here!" Shortly after Li Tian put away his room, he heard the voices of the staff of the organizing committee outside.

"Afeng, if you are tired, have a good sleep. I'll go out to greet a few old friends." After explaining to Gu Feng, Li Tian hurried to the gate of the Olympic Village.

...

"Tsk...tsk..., the environment here is really good. We will live here in the next month." Even after a long-distance flight of more than ten hours, Watel still seemed so energetic when standing at the entrance of the Olympic Village.

"That boy Li Tian should be here too. I hope he will be able to be squeezed into 'anemia'." Lobek pretended to be fierce and evil.

"Yes, this time we must leave a deep 'impression'. It made us worry for so long, and the price is not light." Cademan agreed.

"Kedman, Lobeck..." At this moment, a familiar voice came, and then an extremely fast figure rushed towards the German track and field team's bus.

"Okay, I just talked about you and came to my door by myself! Brothers, come on!" Li Tian never expected him to come to greet him with joy. What awaited him was the crazy "ravaged group of fours." The German team members next to him thought that the four had encountered a life-and-death enemy.

"Four big brothers, I'm wrong. All the expenses you have for this trip to China are mine." Under the threat of eight big fists, Li Tian had to take the initiative to offer the most "sincerity" apology, and greeted the four people at a Chinese restaurant in the Olympic Village that night. Although the time of gathering was beautiful, it was not a good time for everyone to chat and reminisce about the past, because the most important battle in life was still waiting for them, and it was stupid to waste energy without any effort before.

August 8, 2008 is a day worth remembering by the Chinese. The torch of the 29th Olympic Games will be lit at the National Stadium in Beijing, China, and China will also write a new page in the history of the century-old Olympic Games. At 7 o'clock that night, countless cities, counties, towns, and villages in China seemed to have been silent for a moment. There were almost no people in the hot night markets in the past. On the roads that were busy, only a few cars passed by quickly. Schools, shopping malls, and theaters all closed early. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as emptying all over the streets. Hundreds of millions of Chinese people gathered in front of the TV, waiting for the opening of the Olympic Games.

"10,9,8...3,2,1!" A neat and shiny countdown sounded in the National Stadium, which can accommodate 100,000 spectators. As the time on the Beijing Olympic countdown card returned to zero, warm applause and cheers suddenly burst into the audience.

"It's started!" Whether it's the athletes participating in the competition or the ordinary audience in front of the TV, the same voice will sound in their hearts at this moment.

The opening ceremony is the highlight of every Olympic Games. The Chinese Olympic Organizing Committee has put a lot of effort into this regard. It has started preparations two years ago and has practiced every detail many times. Whether it is the basic ceremony of the opening ceremony or the final large-scale cultural and sports performance, it is sure to be foolproof.

"...Now I officially announce that the opening ceremony of the 29th Olympic Games in 2008 has begun. Athletes from all over the world are invited to enter!" On the rostrum temporarily built in the center of the stadium, Mr. Liu Qi, Chairman of the Chinese Olympic Committee, walked to the front.

The entrance ceremony was the climax of the entire opening ceremony. Delegations from more than 200 countries and regions will enter the venue in succession according to the English letters of the country's name and accept cheers from the audience. However, in order to show respect for the birthplace of the Olympics, each Olympic Games is entered by a Greek delegation, and the Chinese delegation, as the host, is ranked last.

An hour later, when the Chinese delegation walked into the venue with its head held high under the leadership of the flag bearer Li Tian, ​​the applause and cheers of the audience reached its peak. The size of 800 people is the largest among all delegations, and they will fight for the honor of the country in the next month.

Chapter 303 Ancient Style Attack

"Brother Tian, ​​yesterday's opening ceremony was so satisfying. If it were me before, it would be absolutely unimaginable that the world was so colorful, and I could not imagine that I could have the opportunity to participate in such a great event. I feel that my life has not been in vain!" When I woke up early the next morning, Gu Feng was still lying in bed and savoring the grand opening ceremony last night with relish.

"Yes, my heart still cannot be completely calm until now!" Li Tian looked at the ceiling blankly with his eyes dazed. He had participated in many international competitions on behalf of the country, but never once, when he walked into the venue with his national flag in his hand and accepted cheers from countless audiences, he felt that solemn and sacred feeling in his heart.

"This is the Olympic Games hosted by us Chinese!...Okay, let's get up, and we start training at 8:30 after having enough breakfast. Although the track and field competition only started four days later, we can't waste a minute and a second of time now." Li Tian, ​​who came back to his senses, dragged the ancient style, washed it neatly and went straight to the comprehensive restaurant on the second floor. At this time, many teammates had already eaten here, and it became a consensus for everyone to seize the last time before the game.

On August 13, on the fifth day after the Olympic Games, the track and field preliminaries that Li Tian and others had been waiting for officially began. The preliminaries are naturally no problem for experts like Li Tian, ​​Liu Xiang and Gu Feng. As long as they do not take the initiative to make low-level mistakes, it is a must-have for the next round. However, for many Chinese track and field team members, the goal they set before participating in the competition is not to win medals, but to strive to enter the second round of the rematch. Therefore, the preliminary round is a big test for them, and they have to use all their strength to fight for it. Perhaps it is because the training ground effect during this period is very ideal, or perhaps it is because of the strong home advantage on the field. Perhaps it is the full outbreak of the players' state, and the Chinese track and field team's qualifying rate in the preliminaries is surprisingly high.

In order to deal with the more difficult and intense competitions in the future, the "Iron Triangle" all adopted the method of preserving strength. Liu Xiang entered the rematch with 13.22 seconds; Li Tian participated in four event competitions in two days, and his results were not very outstanding. The 100 meters, which has always attracted much attention, only ranked in the middle of the game. Among the three, only Gu Feng's results were a bit impressive. Perhaps because the competition was held amid the cheers of 100,000 spectators, Gu Feng seemed a little too excited on the field. The 1500 meters ran a time of 3 minutes, 29.61, ranking among all the contestants. Then in the following competition, Coach Fan specifically reminded him that Gu Feng also noticed the preservation of strength. In the 5,000 meters and 10,000 meters, he always adopted the following tactics to ensure that he entered the second round.

Although the preliminary stage is not exciting, there is no shortage of hot spots in the eyes of many reporters. After all, all the big-name stars have appeared one by one, and they can more or less see their current competitive state. In the 400m preliminaries, Jeremy and Li Tian met again after more than a year and were talked about by the media. On that day, many sports newspapers quoted photos of the two when they met. One was the holder of the 400m world record, and the other was the only genius master who has won the other in recent years. The 400m final was early on as the ultimate battle between the two.

In fact, on the day of the 400m preliminaries, when Jeremy met Li Tian, ​​he only said one sentence to him, "I'm waiting for you in the finals!", and Li Tian's answer was even simpler, "Okay." Looking at the full-page report in the newspaper, Li Tian had to admire these reporters' profound "produced" skills.

In addition to Jeremy, Li Tian also met other competition competitors in the preliminary stages, such as Powell, the 100-meter world record holder; the men's 200-meter star, Crawford and Williams of the United States; the men's 800-meter and 1500-meter double world champion Ramz, known as the "Arab Fast Horse", and of course, Cademan in the "Four-man".

Two days later, the track and field events entered the second round of the rematch stage, and the players who could pass the first round had relatively high strength. Therefore, the competition at this stage was even more intense. Even experts like Li Tian and Liu Xiang did not dare to take it lightly and all tried their best to deal with it. Although many players tried their best, there was still a certain gap between their own strength and the high-level players of European and American track and field powers. The Chinese track and field team suffered heavy losses in this round, and more than half of the players were eliminated, especially for women, only a few players in the middle and long-distance running and race walking events were struggling to support the overall situation.

On August 18th, the man who participated in Gufeng took the lead in igniting the finals in the 1500-meter race. Since there was no semi-final in the middle and long-distance race, the winner was decided one round earlier than the short-distance race.

"I can finally perform my best! Two bosses, I have to take the lead this time." In the preliminary and semi-finals, Gu Feng was able to get 100,000 spectators every time he appeared. His deafening cheer always made him feel excited, but in order to maintain his physical strength to participate in the final, Gu Feng had to deliberately suppress his performance, which made him very unhappy. Now that he is in the final, he can finally gallop on the field without any scruples.

"Afeng, you must pay attention to Ramz. He will be your strongest opponent in the 1500 meters. Not only is he extremely endurance, but his sprinting speed is also top among mid- and long-distance runners, so you must open the gap with him in the early stage." Li Tian explained again.

"Come on, good luck!" Amid the blessings of several teammates, Gu Feng walked into the arena with high fighting spirit.

"Xiaotian, how likely do you think Afeng will win this time?" Liu Xiang's attention was also focused on the field at this time. Whether Gu Feng can fire this cannon is also very important for the entire Chinese track and field team.

"It depends on how well the opponent knows about his situation. If Ramz had been holding on to Afeng from the beginning, Afeng would definitely not be the opponent when he was sprinting in the end. However, Afeng had not participated in any international competitions before, Ramz should not understand Afeng's tactics."

However, this time Li Tian obviously underestimated the importance of Ramz as the world champion. Although Gu Feng had not appeared in the international arena before, Gu Feng had been too excited in the preliminaries and had achieved very good results in the 1500-meter preliminaries and ranked among all the contestants. This naturally attracted Ramz's attention. So after the preliminaries he specifically searched for information about Gu Feng and quickly listed Gu Feng as a key opponent to prevent. Therefore, after the 1500-meter final, Gu Feng adopted the tactic of leading the way from the beginning, and Ramz also accelerated without hesitation and followed closely behind Gu Feng.

"It's not good!" Looking at Ramz's actions, Li Tian couldn't help but say in a deep voice. Obviously, Ramz had already understood Gu Feng's tactics and was confident in his endurance and speed.

In one lap, two lap, three lap, Gu Feng tried his best but still couldn't get rid of Ramz. The players in the second group had been thrown away by the two for a considerable distance. The focus of the whole game was on the two. In the last hundred meters, the two people who had been entangled together finally launched the final sprint. Ramz inserted diagonally from the rear, accelerated, tied up, and advanced. In this short 100 meters, Ramz completed the surpassing of Gu Feng, and at the same time, a sigh and sighed sounded from the audience.

Although it was a pity that missed the gold medal, it was not an unacceptable thing for Gu Feng, who was optimistic by nature. A silver medal was a good start for the Chinese track and field team. Moreover, judging from Ramz's performance on the field, his strength was indeed one step ahead of him. After a little tidying up his mood, Gu Feng quickly focused all his energy on the men's 5000m final in the afternoon. This is his strength, and he did not hide his ambitions at all for this gold medal Gu Feng, although there are super big names like Beckler among his opponents.

Soon Gu Feng proved with facts that his ambition was proportional to his own strength. Just when the outside world generally believed that the men's 5000m champion would fall into the hands of Beckell, the world's best athlete in 2006, Gu Feng, a 17-year-old Chinese player who had just started a battle with Ramz in the 1500m event in the morning, let the world know what a young man is awesome. Since the gunfire of the 5000m final, Gu Feng has led the way with the cheers of the whole audience, although there are many other opponents.

Many people knew his tactics, but no one dared to speed up and keep up. After all, the game had 12 and a half laps, and there was no perverted physical fitness like Gu Feng. He could only watch Gu Feng continue to expand his leading advantage in the early stage. Although Beckler struggled to catch up in the final stage and kept narrowing the gap between the two, he was still unable to turn the world. Gu Feng won the championship with a lead of ten meters, and the 12 minutes, 35 seconds, 75 set a new world record of 12 minutes, 37 seconds, 35 that Beckler had previously held.
Chapter completed!
