When it comes to the career of an athlete, it can be said that there is no certainty.
After all, they suffer in training and are very tolerable.
The Olympic Games have always been the highest temple of sports competition.
Three years of repeated grinding, just to fight against the water.
In the past Olympic Games, some people have been successful and some people have regrets.
Although the victory on the field is certainly gratifying.
But their "encounter" is even more "uneasy"
Paris Olympics, gymnastics men's team final.
Presumably, everyone's hearts are either full of emotion or indignation.
The Chinese team, which originally had a huge advantage of more than three points, was far ahead.
However, due to the mistake of the last project, the score took a sharp turn.
If you lose to someone else, forget it, but this silver medal, which is below the Japan team, will inevitably be criticized.
And the difference of 0.532 points is even more unwilling!
Xiao Ruoteng.
At the London Olympics in 12, at the age of 16, he had just entered the national team.
Four years later, he missed the Rio Olympics with a front elbow injury.
At the age of 24, he is just one Olympic gold medal away from the gymnastics "Grand Slam".
However, he was full of confidence, but he was shattered by the cruel reality.
Back to the Tokyo Olympics, the day of the men's gymnastics all-around final.
Xiao Ruoteng came on the court, a set of gymnastics skills were smooth and through, and he was even more powerful and beautiful.
Especially when it lands, it is crisp and neat, as stable as Mount Tai.
Everyone present raised their arms and shouted, and they all thought that the champion was none other than him.
Unexpectedly, he only won the silver medal.
The gold medalist at the time, Daiki Hashimoto.
Whether it was a vault or a horizontal bar, there was a mistake when landing.
However, the judges still gave him high scores of 14.7 and 14.933.
On the contrary, Xiao Ruoteng was directly deducted 0.3 points because he did not signal to the referee after the action.
This reason is simply ridiculous.
The most heart-wrenching thing is the change in the expression on Xiao Ruoteng's face when the award was presented.
I saw that the national flag that had been unfurled a long time ago and the joy on his face could not be suppressed.
For a moment, only his loneliness could not be concealed.
This year, Xiao Ruoteng is back on his feet, hoping to realize his dream of Paris.
Unexpectedly, the silver medal in the team competition and the bronze medal in the singles once again pierced his heart deeply.
After the game, Xiao Ruoteng posted a message to bid farewell to the Olympics.
The four "not easy" are unforgettable.
In fact, the regret of Chinese sports has never been limited to "Xiao Ruoteng"
2004, Athens Olympic Games.
At that time, Liu Xiang could be called the "most perfect" period.
Not only did he tie the previous world record, but he also won the championship in the tournament one after another.
12.88 seconds, so that he was in his early twenties for a while.
2008, Beijing Olympic Games.
The competition held in front of his own house also made Liu Xiang the expectation of his family.
To the public, it was only natural that he would defend his title.
As everyone knows, two months before the start of the Olympics, he was already unwell.
Although there is a problem with the Achilles tendon, Liu Xiang chose to deceive himself.
However, the pain still affected the mood of the "flying man" to face the Olympics.
What happened later is well known.
The second shot rang out, and Liu Xiang withdrew.
The audience, who did not know the truth, poured out one after another insults and reproaches to him.
In fact, it was not that Liu Xiang didn't want to say it, but everyone wanted to protect him, so he never found a chance to speak.
In the face of all kinds of accusations and speculations, Liu Xiang silently endured it.
Until the 2012 London Olympics, he vowed to take off the hat of "Liu Ranran".
Who knows, on the day of the preliminaries, "there is more than luck".
Even Liu Xiang does not expect to enter the finals, nor does he expect to win the gold medal.
But the pain still does not intend to show him "mercy".
So much so that he fell on the first hurdle.
At that moment, only he knew that the Achilles tendon was ruptured, and the affected area was numb.
In the end, Liu Xiang reached the finish line with a one-legged jump.
The promise of "falling on the field" was fulfilled, but the audience felt that he had once again disappointed them.
Now in the Paris Olympics, her bronze medal has made me see the truth about Liu Xiang's "scolding"!
As the public's awareness is raised, let them avoid becoming the next "Liu Xiang"
In the women's butterfly 100m final, Zhang Yufei only won the bronze medal.
Standing on the podium, she kept smiling and let the world witness the beauty of Chinese athletes.
However, when she left the spotlight, she was a different look.
Few people noticed that Zhang Yufei wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands when he left.
Her sadness is either the regret of not winning the gold medal, or the catharsis after the end of the tense competition.
In the women's butterfly 200m final, Zhang Yufei still won the bronze medal.
But the story behind it is moving.
Before the game, a sudden high fever would definitely disrupt her rhythm.
Who would have thought that it would be followed by the visit of the menstrual period.
But she said in an interview:
"Even if I die, I have to die in the pool!"
So, what does the public think of the bronze medal of "Queen of Butterflies" Zhang Yufei?
Under the relevant entries of "Don't cry in the rain", netizens' comments are "unusual".
Some are just heart-warming comforts and encouraging compliments.
Yes, after all, the bronze medal at the Olympics does not represent the last place, but the third place in the world.
How can it not be a pride?
Let's look at the "nobody's caring" women's rugby scene.
When the squad for the Games was announced, the head coach knew it was a tough battle.
There is no other choice but to go all out.
In the first game, the Chinese team played against New Zealand.
Facing the champion team of the Tokyo Olympics, there was no doubt that they were defeated.
Unexpectedly, they came back 40-12 against Fiji.
However, a tougher test awaits this team.
In the 5th-8th place qualifying, if they lose to United Kingdom.
This means they will need to continue to fight for seventh place with other teams.
With the belief that "flesh and blood are connected, sisterhood is deep", the women's rugby players narrowly won 19:15.
Although it only won sixth place, it is already a breakthrough for China in the history of the project.
This time, the comment section was full of tears and cheers.
Someone else's 14-year-old is ignorant of the world.
At the age of 14, she participated in the Olympics for the first time and won the fourth place in the women's street skateboarding for her country.
Whether it is this skateboarding project or Cui Chenxi himself, the future is also promising.
epilogue
Of course, there are many athletes who have broken history at the Paris Olympics.
The torch is passed down from generation to generation.
The precedent they set is enough to inspire the determination of future generations to fight for a breakthrough!

To borrow a sentence from "Jinling Youth Talk":
"When we no longer only focus on the gold medals, when we start to cheer for the silver and bronze medals, and even praise the lack of medals, I believe that this is the beginning of China's real transformation into a sports power, a cultural power, and an education power."
Obviously, the gold medal is important, but every athlete who does his best to win glory for the country deserves to be praised!
