As the athletes entered the track one after another, the voices of the audience gradually grew louder.

The voice of the commentary also sounded at the same time: "Audience friends, the exciting 110-meter hurdles final is about to begin. We saw that the 8 contestants who participated in the final have now stood on the starting line. Liu Xiang is on the fourth lane. We are now Really excited, I hope Liu Xiang can maintain a steady state of mind in today's competition and get a good result.

The camera and the commentary are carried out simultaneously. While the commentator is explaining, the camera of the Olympic stadium also scans the players one by one.

"On your marks." As the preparations of the athletes were over, the electronic sound of the Olympic stadium sounded to remind the athletes to take their positions, and then the athletes stepped on the starting block one after another.

"Huh, that's really true." On the sidelines, Su Feng said softly.

He Jun was nearby, and upon hearing his words, he jokingly said, "What's the matter, do you feel more nervous than yourself playing?"

Lao He was just talking casually, but he didn’t expect Su Feng to really think so, “That’s right, I can control my own game, and I can adjust myself no matter how nervous I am, but looking at it from here, it feels different , I can’t use my strength at all, it’s all up to Brother Liu himself.”

He Jun nodded. Although he has never been an athlete, as a coach, he has been watching athletes compete. This feeling is somewhat understandable.

"set." The final command sounded before the starting gun was fired, and at the same time, the athletes made the final adjustments to their movements, and they would run away at the fastest speed as soon as the starting gun was fired.

"Snapped!"

"Game start!"

The eight athletes started like falcons pouncing on their food. Liu Xiang's start was very smooth, but there was still no difference in results at first.

But after crossing the first hurdle, Liu Xiang clearly took the advantage. After the second hurdle, Liu Xiang obviously ranked first, next to Trammell, only he has not been pull away.

The third hurdle, the fourth hurdle, the fifth hurdle.

At this time, the commentator of Yangma was already crazy, "Liu Xiang ran to the first position, Liu Xiang, Liu Xiang, Liu Xiang, Liu Xiang won, Liu Xiang won, Liu Xiang made history, a Chinese with black hair and yellow skin became Olympic men's 110 hurdles champion, world trapeze.

At 12 seconds, Liu Xiang won the Olympic gold medal, created a new Olympic record, and created a new world record. At 89 seconds, he broke the record of 12 seconds set by Clin Jackson at the World Championships in Stuttgart in August 89. The world record has become the owner of a new world record. We congratulate Liu Xiang and wish our country's track and field career will be better and better, and more athletes like Su Feng and Liu Xiang will emerge. "

"Win." At this time, the audience of the Chinese team was already boiling, and Su Feng also applauded quickly. Unlike the rest of the people, he felt even more emotional at this time.

His arrival, besides his own achievements, is also meaningful to Liu Feiren.

With his own bronze medal in front of him, Liu Feiren ran more freely and achieved better results, directly breaking the world record. This also shows how great the impact of mentality is on a top sprinter.

Next, the newcomer Liu Feiren took a group photo with the new world record and Olympic record, and then Liu Xiang bowed to the audience and returned to the rest room from the athlete passage. He had to take a shower and change clothes, because the 110-meter hurdles will be soon Award ceremony.

The awarding ceremony for the 110-meter hurdles was just one hour later, so although the race was over, Su Feng and He Jun did not leave.

When Liu Xiang stood on the podium, the five-star red flag was slowly rising, and when the "March of the Volunteers" sounded for the first time in the main stadium of the Olympic Games, Su Feng stood up like all the Chinese team members, singing the national anthem loudly, while silently watching the flag raising Go high.

This is the main stadium of the Athens Olympic Games. So far, the Chinese national anthem was played for the first time. If Su Feng remembered correctly, there were only two times in this Olympic Games.

"In 08, I will make BJ Bird's Nest play the Chinese national anthem because of my victory." Su Feng said to himself silently in his heart, even if he was facing Bolt at that time.

After the awards ceremony, Su Feng didn't stay any longer, and returned to the Olympic Village with He Jun. Seeing that Yang Zong, who was in the same room, hadn't come back, he simply washed up and fell asleep. At five o'clock the next morning, Su Feng got up Get out of bed and start simple recovery training.

This Olympic Games is not completely over yet, and Su Feng's preparations for the next Olympic Games have already begun.

At 8:29 on August 21, Athens time, and at 15:8 on August 30, BJ time, the closing ceremony of the Athens Olympic Games was held at the main Olympic Stadium. The closing ceremony lasted for two hours, showing the theme of world harmony. The 2-day Olympic Games in Athens has come to an end.

Among them, the number of gold medals and the total number of medals both set the highest record in the history of the Chinese Olympic Games .

In track and field, Liu Xiang became the first Chinese athlete to win a gold medal in men's track and field, directly breaking the Olympic and world records.

With a time of 9 seconds, Su Feng became the first and so far only non-black athlete to break ten. So although he only won a bronze medal in the end, the significance is even more profound.

At the end of the closing ceremony, Liu Xiang appeared in people's sight holding the five-star red flag, and then the handover ceremony of the five rings was held.

The last is the famous BJ 8 minutes, the exact time is 8 minutes and 49 seconds, a theatrical performance called "From Olympia to the Great Wall" directed by Zhang Yimou.

In just over eight minutes, Zhang Yimou interpreted the 5000-year Chinese culture and history to the world, which can be described as ingenious and brilliant.

"Master, you said that if I win the championship, the standard bearer should be me." On the sidelines, Su Feng touched his chin and looked at Liu Xiang who was a little proud.

"Crack!", He Jun patted the back of Su Feng's head, "Think about it after you win the championship, and heal your injury now."

"okay."

(Let’s use the original name of Liu Feiren in this chapter and not change it, mainly because the commentary back then was really impressive.)
