(Tokyo Olympics) Reporter's Note: Shooting the Twilight of the Gods: Some Farewells, Some Arrivals
China News Service Tokyo, July 24 Title: Shooting the Twilight of the Gods: Some Say Goodbye, Some Arrive
China News Service reporter Song Fangcan
No Emmons, no "Sharpshooters", no God Reversal, no Legends. This Olympic Games, there are already too many.
In the women's 10m air rifle final of the Tokyo Olympics on July 24, China's Yang Qian won the championship, winning the first gold medal for the Chinese delegation. It was also the first gold medal to be born at the Tokyo Olympics.
Think about it, there is no director or composer of the opening ceremony, and the audience does not, and there is some relief.
It has been the fifth consecutive Olympic games to interview shooting competitions. Witnessed too many joys and sorrows inside and outside the shooting range, creating people.
During this time, he witnessed love, Emmons, Caterina's, Du Li's, Pang Wei's.
In 2004, the winning Matthew Emmons ghost made a miraculous shot at an adjacent target, ceding the championship to Jia Zhanbo. At that moment, he had already won the Olympic championship, like a dazed and helpless child. I was there.
In 2008, emmons, who was in the gold medal, fired his last shot again, firing a 4.4 ring, and Kankan gave the championship to Qiu Jian of China. He smiled bitterly and patiently recounted the process of making mistakes with the reporter. I was there too.
For us, that's the game; for them, it's life.
Lost mulberry elm, harvested east. Emmons, who missed two gold medals, reaped the rewards of love. His beloved wife, Caterina, also won the gold medal at the Beijing Olympics.
In Rio, I had carefully inquired about Emmons's future plans. I am afraid that the carelessness of using words will touch the pain points of his life. He was strong and friendly, patiently answering reporters' questions and dispelling the haze in the hearts of reporters.
It was a farewell. Now, the hero's twilight has finally returned to his family. On his overseas social media account, the description was changed to "husband, father, cancer survivor." Loved hunting, loved the outdoors, loved cross-country skiing, running, two sports, read an MBA."
Spoil your wife and sprinkle dog food, and show happiness. His new life is wonderful.
Wang Yifu, who went from athlete to head coach, left only a long back. My interview with the five Olympic Games, the head coach of the Chinese shooting team, experienced him, and also experienced Xu Haifeng. The legend waved away, the Chinese shooting team did not have them, and there were many Olympic celebrities.
Du Li hung up her beloved rifle and waved the coaching whip of the Chinese shooting team; Chen Ying, Guo Wenjun, Zhu Qinan, Yi Siling... Bye!
This Olympic Games, the Chinese shooting team made me feel strange for the first time. Watching the training before the game, everyone in the team wore masks, and I could only carefully distinguish who was from the registration card on my chest.
"Lin Yuemei, wearing earrings; He Zhengyang, relatively tall; well, that cute girl, is Yang Qian..." I can only record the characteristics like this.
We see that in the Chinese shooting team in Tokyo, there is no big-name coach, no star players, no habitual head coach, no sharpening of the last two years of competition, and no prominent international ranking.
We see that the young Yang Qian is unyieldingly chasing perfection and counterattack. In the final of the women's 10m air rifle, Yang Qian pulled the last trigger, "bang", and the new queen was crowned.
We see that 52-year-old Nino Salukvadze, after winning a gold, silver and a bronze, returned to the field and participated in shooting competitions for 9 consecutive Olympic games, becoming the most female athletes in Olympic history.
We see that Qin Zhongwu, who is determined to win gold for four consecutive years, helplessly watches the results that are gradually drifting away from his own world record.
We also saw three Olympic gold medallist Capuliani bid farewell and instead train refugee athletes to practice shooting.
We also saw that 41-year-old Iranian male nurse Flugi, after four years of hard training, shot off the gold medal of the men's air pistol.
Someone is saying goodbye, someone is holding on, someone is coming. Every choice is a capitalized life.
With such a life, there is no reason why we should not pay tribute! (End)
