Xinmin Quick Review | I thought of Liu Changchun, the first person in the Chinese Olympics

In the Olympic Arena 89 years ago, a lonely figure stood on the men's 100-meter track. That person's name was Liu Changchun, and he was the first person in the Chinese Olympic Games. With the financial support of patriotic general Zhang Xueliang, he spent three weeks to participate in the 1932 Tokyo Olympics.

In the Olympic arena 89 years later, a touch of Chinese red took the lead in the competition, and on the stage of the men's 100 meters final of the Tokyo Olympics last night, Su Bingtian stood in the C position.

"China's first Olympic person" Liu Changchun's 10.8-meter performance was improved by Su Bingtian by nearly 1 second last night. 1 second, for the individual, is just a number, a tick, a blink, but for China, it has produced immeasurable changes. It shows that Chinese can not only create legends in the economic field, but also achieve breakthroughs at "Chinese speed" in any other field.

The short 100-meter Olympic track has witnessed the transformation and growth of Chinese athletes.

Once, Liu Changchun, who went to the Guanshan Mountains with a single knife, was behind the old China where the mountains and rivers were broken and the national fortunes were difficult. "I hope that the king will bravely move forward and keep my descendants away from such suffering." It was the wish he left behind at that time.

Stepping into the new century, on the podium of Athens, Liu Xiang's sentence "China has me, Asia has me" is a domineering declaration of the world. That is the confidence of Chinese sports to become the world's top strength, and it is even more a strong voice played by Chinese sports in the new era.

Today, humble and introverted, wise and wise, the atmosphere is calm, and the "uncrowned king" Su Bingtian represents the image of a new generation of Chinese athletes. Forge ahead on the field, flesh and blood under the field... Behind the success of Su Bingtian, in addition to his personal hard work, he also has the credit of scientific and technological protection and internal and external exchanges.

Following the interview athletics project for 15 years, I have been excited and shouted for Liu Xiang's Osaka Nine Miracles, and I was also moved to tears by the breakthrough of the 100-meter relay in China at the Beijing Bird's Nest.

It is not to win a medal to be celebrated, but to surpass oneself and win respect. Su Bingtian, 32, has run through almost all of his post-95 opponents. He said: "I have fulfilled my dreams and fulfilled the entrustments of my predecessors. "Generations of Chinese athletes have continuously improved the speed of this China, and my generation is no longer alone." They proved to the world that Chinese can also break the wrist with the advantages of Europe and the United States.

Running is a state, but also a style. This is the pride of China and the glory of Asia. Pass on the torch, never give up, pay tribute to China's speed, pay tribute to every hero who created history!
