“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Mr. Hu, President of China, Mr. Ut Borg, President of the International Olympic Committee...”

On the evening of August 24, 2008, over the water cube swimming pool of Yanjing Bird Nest National Stadium and several streets far away, fireworks rose, illuminating the entire night sky.

In the bird's nest stadium where 90,000 people are located, the three languages are introduced to each other, and the head of state and the president of the International Olympic Committee are standing up and waved to the many spectators present.

In the voice of the host at the scene, "Please stand up, raise the Chinese flag, and play the Chinese national anthem...", the whole audience left their seats and stood up to look at the entire Bird's Nest stadium center.

The solemn national anthem sounded, the national honor guard in the center of the stadium raised the red flag, and many Chinese spectators in the stadium came to watch the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, and spontaneously sang the national anthem loudly in the music.

The flag is high, the whole field is about boiling, and the applause is like thunder.

This Yanjing Olympic Games from the opening ceremony to today, as the organizing of China in all aspects have been perfect, standing at the top of the top of the 50 gold medals is let people see China's great power heritage and unparalleled sports strength.

Ye Qin stood in the waiting area outside the Bird's Nest Stadium, watching every move in the field through the large screen played to the athletes, when he saw the flag rising and cheering the moment, only felt excited in his heart and could not be himself.

For him, this Olympic Games are not perfect, at least a 200 meters regret can not be completed, but now everything is over.

Participating in the world's highest competitive sports competition on the territory of your own country has never really been thought of being achieved from the day you set foot on the track.

And now this event is coming to an end, the achievements of two gold and one silver are still like dreams for him.

At Ye Qin's side, Yang Yao, Zhang Peimen, Su Congtian and other athletes in other track and field teams were trembling at this moment.

The Olympics are over!

We went into our full strength and did our best!

So many days of games, now sometimes in retrospect, feel that people feel that it is not true, but he is so real.

This is our blood and youth, in this competition, there are the honor of being cheered and on the podium, and there are mistakes that fail to show their strength in the most perfect.

Now it's over!

The short film on the big screen of the Bird's Nest Stadium appeared in front of everyone, followed by the sound of music, the lights gradually dimmed, and the actors on the stage for the closing ceremony began to appear.

Surrounding the entire stands of this stadium, countless magnesium lights flashing and constantly taking pictures of various performances in the center of the stage.

About 20 minutes later, several warm-up performances ended, and the entire Bird's Nest stadium once again sounded thunderous applause.

A large number of athletes and coaches who have been waiting outside the field for a long time have entered the Bird's Nest stadium under the guidance of the front flag bearers and volunteers.

The whole atmosphere has reached its climax at this time!

Ye Qin and the people of the track and field team almost jumped in, and when the cameraman pointed at him, he pulled Su Congtian and Zhang Peimen to squeeze their eyebrows and eye-catching, and suddenly laughed at all the spectators who saw this scene in front of the TV.

After the admission of many award-winning athletes and coaches, the team was quickly arranged according to the guidance of the staff, and the fiery atmosphere in the whole field gradually quieted down.

At the closing ceremony, the most grand award ceremony is about to begin.

Men's Marathon Awards Ceremony.

In a single Olympic Games, the three most watched track and field events, 100 meters sprint, 4 × 100 meters relay and marathon.

On the big red carpet, three marathon gold and silver runners after the Xiangyun podium have stood there for Samuel Wanjiru of Kenya, Garib of Morocco and Tesei Kebeid of Ethiopia.

In this marathon, the marathon world record holder, the legendary marathon runner Haile Gebre Selassie of Ethiopia, did not participate, which can be said to be the biggest regret of the men's marathon final.

However, the men's marathon champion Samuel Vanjiru still brought a huge surprise to the field, but the age of 22, he became the first Kenyan athlete to win the marathon.This is undoubtedly a strong country such as Kenya's traditional long-distance running power.

Wanjiru's life experience is actually a sports to change the fate of the typical, born in a poor town, 12 years old because can not afford to pay tuition to drop out of school, and then with sports talent was seen to move to Japan, accepted professional training, won a number of cross-country championships, from 2005 to 2007 three times broke the half marathon world record, become the international field rose a track and field star.(The reason why the Olympic marathon champion is mentioned here is because the other party fell from the balcony in the conflict in Kenya in 2011, and the police have not yet been able to determine whether he committed suicide or killed him.)Marathon runners usually peak after the age of 30, if you are still alive, Vanjiru may really be the first athlete to run in two hours.)

In the exciting award music, the President of the International Olympic Committee presented awards to three players.

Compared with other events, there is no doubt that the award ceremony of this marathon is undoubtedly the highest specification, and it is remarkable that many athletes think of themselves when they see such a scene, and they still feel very excited.

After the leaders of the country, the mayor of Yanjing and the chairman of the Olympic Organizing Committee, the flag-raising ceremony was once again in the track and field field.

This time is the British flag of the next Olympic Games organizer, when the rice flag is raised, it also officially means that Yanjing will transfer the right to host the Olympic Games to the next city, London.

“Ye Qin, the next Olympic Games, London, I must go!”

“Yes, I have to go to the semi-finals, to the third round!”

Standing next to Ye Qin, Su Chuntian and Zhang Pei Meng's eyes were red, and suddenly they shouted around Ye Qin.

“All right!”

Ye Qin reached out and took the two men's shoulders, and at the time of the Athens Olympic Games, he did not participate in the closing ceremony, and there was no such strong impulse at that time.

This time, the Yanjing Olympic Games showed a completely different landscape in front of everyone.

The highest podium, the strongest competitor, the global attention, when you are in it, you will be nervous and excited, there will be a lot of emotions, but when you look back, you will always find that you can do better!

“Four years from now, we’ll be in London!”

Ye Qin laughed and shouted at a few people, talking, and turning his head to look at Yang Yao, who was not far away.

Yang Yao smiled and claps his hands, looking at the emotional three people, listening to their young magnificence and dry clouds, his eyes seemed to flash the time when he entered the national team to run 200 meters.

At the time of the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games, the Chinese team did not meet the standard of participation in the men's sprint project, and Yang Yao was just beginning to set a goal for himself, that is, to participate in the Olympic Games.

At the 2004 Athens Olympics, he ran the second round in the 200 meters, and in the 2008 Olympic Games, he ran again in the second round at the 200 meters, and also won a silver medal in the 4 × 100 meters relay.

Life may still have regrets, but in the time of eight or nine years, he grew from a tactful teenager to the big brother of the national track and field team, in fact, it is already very good here!

Look at the three people who are as strong as they once were!

No, it should be said to be far more than you once were!

May you all be well, may our athletics be getting better and better, and may our motherland get better and better!

Yang Yao looked at the scene of the boiling lively scene, his mouth was smiling, and his heart was silent.
