Chapter 166 The Second Opening

Starting at 9:2 pm on September [-], Athens time, a large number of spectators lined up outside the stadium temporarily renamed the Olympic Stadium.

The security force of 8 people, the simultaneous endorsement of the International Olympic Committee and various delegations, and the repeated support of the high gods made people full of confidence in safety.

By seven o'clock, more than [-] spectators had all entered the venue.

In the dark, the audience waved light sticks, rendering the stands into a starry sky.

At 8:00 pm, the Olympic Games opening ceremony officially begins.

Before the opening ceremony, people counted down from 26, indicating that the 26th Olympic Games will enter a countdown state.

It is completely treated as a brand new Olympic Games, except that there is no mascot, and everything else should be there.

The International Olympic Committee hopes that in this way, everyone will forget the chaos in Atlanta.

When the countdown ended, the sky was filled with fireworks, blasting out 100 and welcome home Greek monograms.

The audience cheered deafeningly, showing the excitement and excitement of the Greek people.

Although there is only less than a month, the Greeks have made a pretty amazing start.

Afterwards, the lights in the arena gradually dimmed, and hundreds of drummers beat the sky-shattering drums against the melodious Greek music, announcing the official start of the performance of the opening ceremony of the Athens Olympic Games.

The next three scenes are welcoming the Olympic Games, raising the national flag, and historical annual rings. Because there is no dedicated Olympic Stadium, of course there will be no clear blue water in the center of the venue that symbolizes the Aegean Sea that the Greeks are proud of. It made the performance of the opening ceremony a lot worse, and the time was also a lot shorter.

It is understandable, after all, the preparation time is too short.

Then the various delegations enter.

Some events have already ended, Greece is divided into three cities, and the competition will start tomorrow, so there are not many athletes participating in the opening ceremony.

For example, in the Chinese delegation, only more than 50 people attended the opening ceremony, and the flag bearer was replaced by Le Jingyi of the swimming team.

The current Le Jingyi is really a representative of Chinese female athletes. Deng Yaping and Wang Junxia are hard to compare with. Especially the athletes who participated in the opening ceremony, there is really no one who can compare with her.

The entrance of the Greek sports delegation brought the atmosphere to another climax, and also meant the end of the entrance ceremony. Fireworks were set off around the stadium, and the red, blue, yellow, and green flames once again turned the entire stadium into a joyous scene. ocean.

Suddenly, the venue suddenly darkened.

The audience was not surprised but happy, and shouted: "God~"

The opening ceremony was good, and what was even better was the theme song sung by Gao Shen.

Drawing lessons from the new theme song "The Great Olympics Never Ends" from "The Mass" and "Passing the Torch", everyone shivered when the opening music sounded before they could speak.

The audience was silent, listening intently.

After the 4-minute theme song ended and Gao Shenzhi stepped down, the audience remained silent.

"What's going on? Doesn't it sound good?"

"It's impossible. Even if there are differences in culture, there can't be differences in music."

"The Greeks don't understand music, do they?"

The domestic audience was very anxious, for fear that Gao Shen would smash the signboard.

"Olympic~God~"

"Olympic~God~"

The audience suddenly burst into thunderous shouts, which really wanted to shatter the sky.

Beside, Samaranch and Gutaski looked at each other and smiled in unison.

It is really correct to invite Gao Shen to sing the theme song.

This song alone can make everyone forget the tragedy in Atlanta.

Gaoshen provided the Greek theme song for free and sang on stage for free. Of course, it was not doing charity.

Part of a series of deals.

The Greeks pushed back the start date of the track and field competition by a day.

If the competition schedule of the Atlanta Olympic Games is completely followed, the track and field competition will start tomorrow, and there will be considerable conflicts with the swimming competition.

If it is still in Atlanta, the venue is within three to five kilometers, no matter by car or by plane, ten minutes is enough, while Athens is more than 500 kilometers away from Thessaloniki, and it takes at least two hours to go back and forth by plane. Not realistic at all.

So, it was a pleasant transaction for both parties.

Gaoshen gave the platform to the Greeks, and the Greeks provided convenience to Gaoshen. It can be said that everyone is happy.

After Gao Shen stepped down, a male athlete ran in and out of the field holding an Olympic flag, and sprint banners were pulled up on the runway according to the distance. Every time he sprinted, the live broadcast would briefly introduce to everyone which Olympic Games it was in a certain year .

Suddenly, the athlete fell down.

When audiences all over the world hold their breath and wait and see nervously, a commentary sounded on the scene: "World War I, the Olympic Games were canceled because of the war"!
Everyone's doubts were relieved at once. When the athletes fell on the runway for the second time, people understood that it was the greatest war catastrophe in human history so far-the Second World War.

Athletes ran onto a black platform with an "olive tree" in the center of the venue, and the flags of the delegations that had entered the venue gradually converged into a trapezoid on the platform...

Then, Samaranch delivered a speech.

Following a 30-second silence for those killed in the Atlanta attack, Samaranch emphasized the Olympic spirit, expressing his will not to give up or to give up.

Gutarski then emphasized the spirit of peace, unity and fraternity.

No one likes to listen to it, everyone is discussing Gaoshen's theme song.

"I got goosebumps all over my body, and I'm sure I'll hear this song in the future, it must be like this."

"It was so uplifting, it made me forget the tragedy in Atlanta at once."

"God is God, ruled the stadium and ruled the music world again."

"If this year's major music awards are not given to God, I will definitely not accept it!"

"We should urge him to release two more albums as soon as possible."

The president of Greece came to the stage to announce the opening of the Olympic Games without interrupting the discussion of the audience, and the oaths of athletes and referees were even more non-existent.

It wasn't until a runner descended from the sky holding a flame that the audience's attention was drawn back.

During this period, Gao Shen has been promoting Sanda in cities in various countries. The Greeks are busy repairing venues and have welcomed the Holy Fire from Atlanta.

The time is short and the task is tight. The main torch is a pillar holding a plate. There is really no creativity.

The identity of the igniter can be said a few words. He is the first gold medalist in Greece, the former King Constantine II.

This is what counts as a state-level settlement.

In short, the opening ceremony not only showed the Greek culture, but also showed the Greek people. The whole event was quite lively, and the media from various countries also gave good comments.

After all, the time is too short, and we really can't expect too much.

After the opening ceremony, each went back to the station to sleep.

There is no Olympic Village, and the Greeks have booked a lot of hotels for various delegations to live in, which costs a lot.

But after all, it is definitely more cost-effective than building an Olympic Village.

The only difficulty is transportation.

The scattered residences of athletes and the influx of tourists put great demands on the public transportation system.
