Chapter 757 756 [Dawn of Victory]
"Kun no Yo, Chiyo no Yachiyo..."
At the Olympic track and field competition, the Japanese national anthem "Kiminoyo" was played - little Japan won the Olympic gold medal, and it was a rare gold medal in marathon running.
Zhou Hexuan was sitting in the audience and wanted to laugh. He was going crazy trying to hold back his laughter, and he almost jumped up and applauded in congratulations.
On the podium, the silver and bronze medalists held their medals high, waving laurel branches and enjoying the applause of the audience. But the gold medal winner was like a child who had done something wrong, with his head lowered and his face full of shame, afraid to see anyone. He even found a pot of laurel tree and used its branches and leaves to cover the gold medal and Japanese plaster flag logo on his chest.
"Hey, what's going on with this Japanese player? He seems to be unhappy after winning the gold medal." Wanrong asked curiously.
Zhou Hexuan said with emotion: "Because, although his nationality is Japanese, his soul belongs to North Korea."
"It turns out he is a Korean." Wanrong understood instantly.
Track and field has always been a stage for Westerners. Due to physical reasons, it is difficult for Asians to achieve good results.
But in this Olympics, there was an Asian athlete who made a surprise move and won the marathon championship with an absolute advantage. His real name is Sun Jizhen, and his motherland has been annexed by Japan. He can only use the Japanese name Sun Guiling to register for the competition. The gold medal he won also belongs to Japan.
This is a great tragedy for the athlete himself.
Cheng Tianfang looked at Sun Jizhen who was hanging the gold medal but could not raise his head, and couldn't help but sigh: "This is a slave who has subjugated his country!"
The Japanese flag is rising higher and higher, and Sun Jizhen's head is buried lower and lower. He held a clay flower pot and tried to cover up the Japanese national emblem on his chest. He tried his best on the field, but at this moment he wished he had never been to Berlin. He felt that he had betrayed his motherland, betrayed the Korean nation, and betrayed his own conscience.
The three award-winning athletes walked to the sidelines one after another, and reporters from all over the world gathered around them.
While the silver and bronze medalists were being interviewed excitedly, Sun Jizhen covered his face with his marathon championship prize (bronze helmet) and quickly ran away from the field. He was too embarrassed to see anyone. What he didn't know was that this bronze helmet, which symbolized the sports spirit of ancient Greece, would also be taken away by the Japanese after returning home, becoming a symbol of Japan's strength.
Sun Jizhen ran away wearing the gold medal. When he passed by the front row of the audience, he heard someone say to him in Japanese: "Friend, come to China."
"Who are you?" Sun Jizhen stopped and asked.
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "The Chinese also hate Japan."
Sun Jizhen shook his head and said: "My family is still in North Korea, and I cannot leave, otherwise their lives will be in danger."
"Then I wish you good luck." Zhou Hexuan said regretfully.
Originally, Zhou Hexuan wanted Sun Jizhen to become a Chinese national. This was very common in the Republic of China. Most Koreans who did not want to live under Japanese rule came to China. For example, at this time, the Chinese film emperor Jin Yan was popular among thousands of girls. Everyone regarded him as Chinese because he had become a Chinese citizen.
Since Sun Jizhen was unwilling to agree, Zhou Hexuan was too lazy to persuade him. Everyone has his own ambitions. Moreover, Sun Jizhen does not need any funding from Zhou Hexuan. He is an excellent bank employee in North Korea and his salary is high. He came to participate in the Olympics just as a hobby.
If you want to win Olympic honors, you still have to rely on your own people!
Next is the men's 100-meter sprint event. Two athletes from China qualified and were tricked into being placed in the same group.
"Everyone in your place!"
"preparation!"
"boom!"
The starting gun sounded, and Liu Changchun, who was on the sixth track, shot out. 30 meters later, he was already leading the first echelon. Another Chinese player fell at the end, with no hope of advancing, but he still gritted his teeth and ran hard.
Ever since Zhou Hexuan paid for the American coach Paddock, Liu Changchun's running style has changed. During the sprint phase, he uses the Panther Charge invented by Paddock. To be precise, it is an improved Panther Charge.
Liu Changchun is tall and has the advantage of fast pace and long strides, which fits Paddock's Panther Charge very well.
Zhou Hexuan was sitting in the front row of the auditorium, and in the blink of an eye, Liu Changchun had already rushed past. In the last 10 meters, Liu Changchun was obviously maintaining his physical strength to prepare for the next final. But even so, he could cross 3 meters in one step and hit the line almost at the same time as another white player.
"Beautiful!" Wang Zhengting clapped his hands and stood up excitedly.
Entering the finals, finally a Chinese athlete has entered the finals!
In various previous competitions, only Jin Guidi had a chance to enter the finals, but he was seriously injured by a British foul. Although after the Olympic Committee changed the verdict, Jin Guidi also participated in the quarter-finals with injuries, but the bridge of his nose that had not fully healed became a drag, and the whole nose collapsed after being beaten. It was a pity that he finished fourth. .
In addition, in the pole vault, a Chinese also reached the second round, but ended up at the bottom of the second round.
The scariest thing was the basketball match. Black whistles were blown all over the place, and the Chinese basketball team lost all the preliminaries. This is unreasonable, because there is no basketball game without a black whistle, and the Olympic Committee simply ignores the appeal of the basketball game.
In fact, the Chinese basketball team is not weak, at least as good as the German basketball team. Because basketball is still very primitive, except for a few countries, the level of other teams is not much different.
But the German team relied on a black whistle to reach the semifinals, while the Chinese team of the same level did not even qualify for the group stage.
Other countries have been driven crazy by the German black whistle and are contacting Shu Hong, the assistant coach of the Chinese basketball team, to ask Shu Hong to serve as the referee in the finals and semi-finals.
Shu Hong was also a super strong man in the sports world. In the 1920s, there was a rule in the international sports world. They believed that the Chinese were the sick men of East Asia and they were not allowed to serve as referees in international competitions. Mr. Shu Hong was dissatisfied, and he spent his own money to file a lawsuit against the International Referee Organization. In the end, the American Referee Association set a test, and Shu Hong and his three friends all obtained international referee certification.
Prior to this, even when China held large-scale domestic events, foreigners had to be invited to serve as referees. It was Shu Hong who single-handedly changed this humiliating situation.
China can be recognized by the world in various fields because seniors like Shu Hong have worked hard step by step to achieve it.
On the field, Liu Changchun was cheering and celebrating. He opened his arms and jogged around the field, showing the world the elegance of a Chinese athlete.
Good news soon came from the swimming competition. All seven Chinese swimmers advanced to the second round. This situation shocked all the athletes from other countries. Fortunately, they were more restrained. They made all kinds of mistakes in the preliminaries and were determined not to win the group championship. Their personal results were not particularly outstanding.
If you cheat in diving, just make money quietly and don't make it public.
On the ninth day of the Olympic Games, Zhou Hexuan was at a loss for what to do and didn’t know which event to choose to watch.
On this day, the Chinese football team officially started the second round of competition, and the swimming team also had several games. Liu Changchun will usher in his 100-meter sprint final. In order to preserve his physical strength and win a medal, he gave up the men's 200-meter sprint. Concentrate on preparing for the 100m final.
