Chapter 238 The moment in history

Zhang Longhao was too nervous!
As a top archer in the world, he shouldn't have made such a big mistake in the Olympic finals, but he still couldn't withstand the pressure, and the arrow he shot at the last moment almost missed the target.

One ring!
This is a heartbreaking result!

All Koreans were heartbroken, and many Koreans closed their eyes in pain as Zhang Yonghao's arrow was nailed to the target.

They lost!

If Zhang Longhao can get the 8th and 9th rings, it is acceptable for the Korean archery team to lose the 1st and 2nd rings. The halo of the team champion is gone.

Teams and athletes from many other countries suddenly realized: "It turns out that the Korean archery team is not invincible! They will also make major mistakes at critical moments! Their athletes will not be able to withstand the pressure at critical moments!"

When the halo of "four Olympic gold medals" is removed, the South Korean team is actually just an ordinary archery team, except that the players are stronger, and there is nothing special.

But in fact, when it comes to the strength of Korean players, they are not that strong.

When it comes to personal heroism, there is still a gap between Korean players and European and American players. For decades, they have not won individual gold medals in archery.

In 2000, the archery men's individual champion of the Sydney Olympic Games was Simon Fairweather of Australia; in the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games, the archery men's individual champion was American player Justin Hewish; in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, the archery men's individual event The champion was American player Jay Bales; even in the 1988 Olympic Games held in Seoul, the capital of South Korea (then Seoul), the men's individual event champion was American player Dalal Pace.

In the past few decades, almost all the athletes who won the Olympic men's individual archery event came from the United States and Europe, and there was not even a single Korean among them.

After entering the new century, the strength of Korean archery has grown, but most of the world's top archers are still from European and American countries. The Korean archery team performed well, but only in team archery.

Individual heroism is not enough, and group projects are not unbeatable.

What else is there for the Korean archery team?

----

After the results were shown on the digital cards, and the referee announced the victory of the Huaxia Men's Archery Team, all the spectators who supported the Huaxia Team, as well as the athletes and coaches of the Huaxia Archery Team, had already started cheering heartily. Defeating the Korean archery team head-on in the team competition is definitely a historic moment.

The media who heard the news flocked, and all the cameras were aimed at the three archers.

Under the lens of the camera, Shen Yang was smiling and calm. After the game, he walked around the stands and waved to thank the audience who came to support him.

Yong Fujun and Zhang Haifeng are completely inexperienced.

They just kept laughing, followed behind Shen Yang's buttocks and waved to the audience. Although some of the audience who supported Shen Yang were about to die for these two 'pig teammates', the Huaxia men's team won the team competition. The group also performed well, so they forgave the two and responded with cheers.

After walking around the audience stands, the three of them rested on the seats at the scene, while reporters rushed to interview the reporters in the field.

A dozen international media reporters were allowed into the venue.

The officials of the International Olympic Committee presiding over the archery competition, in principle, let reporters from every major media send representatives in, but there are too many major international media, and they can only let some of them pass.

Those who come here are all big media.

There are British BBC Radio and Television, China Central TV, Italian Sky TV, Germany's "Bild", American National Public Television... After a group of reporters arrived, almost all of them wanted to interview Shen Yang immediately.

Then an embarrassing scene appeared.

Shen Yang was surrounded by a group of reporters, and there was no interviewer in front of Yong Fujun and Zhang Haifeng.

At this time, no one cared about the two 'bad performance, not famous enough' guys. Even if the reporters were around the periphery, they must hear what Shen Yang had to say.

The Huaxia reporter first asked, "Shen Yang, leading the Huaxia archery team to win the men's team championship, what are your thoughts at this moment? Do you feel very excited?"

Shen Yang smiled lightly and waved his hands, "There's nothing to be excited about. I thought it would be easier to win, but I didn't expect the Korean team to play so well. They are indeed an excellent team. But in the end we won. It was expected. In addition... the archery team is led by coach Wang Wenlong, and I am just an athlete participating in the competition."

Many reporters completely ignored Shen Yang's emphasis.

The coach of the Huaxia Archery Team is indeed Wang Wenlong, but everyone knows that the key to victory lies in Shen Yang's perfect performance. In the final and semi-finals, Shen Yang shot 18 arrows and got a score of 180 points. Even if one athlete achieves such a result, it is enough for the men's team to win the Olympic champion.

So Shen Yang is the biggest contributor, saying that he has no problem at all with 'leading the archery team'.

Next came a question from the British BBC reporter. He asked the key question, "Can you tell me why you can play steadily and every arrow hits the yellow heart? What skills are there?"

Shen Yang thought for a while and said, "When it comes to skills, I think the most important thing is mentality. I am not a full-time archer, this is just my hobby. I am a sports science researcher and an amateur coach. So I know how to adjust my mentality and how to adjust my state before the game. This is the reason why I can play stably."

The third question was a reporter from Sky TV in Italy. Italians seem to care more about their private life,” said Italian athlete Gariazzo, who wanted to rely on the runner-up to find a girlfriend. You won two gold medals in archery in this Olympic Games. Breaking archery records continuously, I think you will definitely get a large bonus and become more famous, what will you do with these fame and bonuses?"

Shen Yang looked at the reporter inexplicably and said, "In terms of fame, I actually plan to retire after the Olympics, and I don't want to continue this sport."

Immediately the reporters were in an uproar.

Shen Yang's words continued, "As for the bonus, I only plan to deposit it in the bank..."

Many reporters suddenly thought, "Chinese people really like to keep their money in the bank", and then the Italian reporter couldn't help asking, "Are you planning to retire? Why?"

"Because archery is not my main occupation, it will distract me a lot of energy."

"Then what is your main business?"

Shen Yang smiled, "I have a sports science institute called 'Yangyang', which has technical cooperation with Real Madrid. I hope to seriously manage my institute and my sports industry."

Europeans certainly don't know much about American companies, but they know a lot about Real Madrid.

When the European journalists heard that "there is cooperation with Real Madrid", they immediately had a definition in their hearts, "This sports science institute called Yangyang must have developed to a certain level, and it is technically the world's top." After defining this definition, the reporters took notes one after another, planning to learn more about the Yangyang Sports Science Institute, and conduct an in-depth investigation of their cooperation with Real Madrid, and then continue to comment on the matter of "Shen Yang's retirement" .

After the interview with Shen Yang was over, the reporters remembered that there were two more athletes.

So they conducted interviews about the routine past. The reporter from Central TV was the first to go, and the other reporters just followed the record.

That look completely showed little interest.

Yong Fujun and Zhang Haifeng could only smile wryly, and Wang Wenlong next to him comforted them with his eyes, "Only you, learn more from Shen Yang, and be calm when facing reporters."

In fact, the focus is on performance.

The most fundamental thing in sports is the strength and performance of the athletes. If Yong Fujun and Zhang Haifeng can have the performance of Shen Yang, even if they will never face reporters again, there will be many reporters rushing to interview them. Maybe they can smile shyly. It became a big news for reporters, and was given a nickname of 'Shy Little Boy' by the audience who liked it.

such a pity!
In the game, the two were holding back.

It is conceivable how much interest the media reporters can have.

In the following awards ceremony, the archery team received the gold medal. This was Shen Yang's second gold medal. There was nothing to be excited about. After all the competitions were over, he began to care about the track and field team's competition.

There was also the men's 400m semi-final that day. Wang Jian took Li Bin to participate in the competition. Li Bin's strength was there, and his performance was still very good. Finally, he won the No.44 preliminaries group with a time of 32 seconds and successfully advanced to the final.

By this time, many people began to be optimistic about track and field sprinting.

Huaxia track and field sprint has always been a weak point. Every athlete who performs well can get the focus of attention. Athletes who stand out in track and field sprint are paid more attention than those in the weightlifting team and table tennis team. Even if they don't win the gold medal, Also catch up with the gold medalists of other teams.

This time the track and field sprinters performed exceptionally well.

Gu Nana passed the first round of the women's 400m with excellent results, Li Bin successfully advanced to the men's 400m final, and Xie Chunfeng also entered the semi-final in the [-]m event.

The performance of the three athletes has made many Chinese audiences look forward to the track and field sprint.

Many people also thought of an athlete——Liu Xiang, who broke the world record. The men's 110-meter hurdles event has not yet been held. He has already attracted international attention and has a very high chance of winning the gold medal.

There are four athletes in the Huaxia track and field sprint with the strength to compete for the gold medal. This is definitely the first time for the Huaxia Olympic team in the Olympic arena.

The Chinese Olympic Committee has begun to pay attention to track and field.

Some leading officials began to inquire and care about the preparations of the track and field team, as well as the training and living conditions of several key athletes, the training ground and the competition field, and more Chinese media came to interview.

Everyone hopes that Huaxia track and field sprint can really win the first gold medal!
That will be a moment in history!

With so much attention, Xie Chunfeng ushered in the semi-finals of the [-]-meter event...
