Tribute to the Tragic Heroes of the Olympics: Treasure Touching Highlight Moments
Don't just praise something towering, plains and hills are just as immortal. (British writer Faye Bailey) – inscription
In the centenary of the Olympic Games, the stars are shining, and countless athletes have composed a wonderful chapter of hard work with their sweat and blood. When people are always accustomed to focusing their attention on the highest podium, please don't forget that there is such a group, and there are moments when they fight for their dreams, although they do their best, maybe they will never have a chance with the gold medal, but their lives are great because they shine with ordinary and real splendor, and their stories are spread because of tears full of sadness and touching...
They are the representatives of the tragic heroes of the Olympics, they are moments of focus on alternative highlights, although they have nothing to do with the championship gold medal, they also deserve our praise!
1. Be bold and bold, and not be gentle and upright for the powerful.
- "Olympic Naked" Lutz Lang
On August 1, 1936, at the men's long jump at the 11th Berlin Olympic Games in Germany, under the attention of the racist fanatic Hitler, the German long jump star Lutz Lang took off the towel of the famous Black American athlete Owens, placed it a few inches behind the springboard, and kindly taught the opponent the trick of starting and jumping to help the opponent successfully win the final; a few days later, when Owens won the gold medal with a record result, Lutz Lang also took the initiative to congratulate and take a group photo. The move greatly annoyed Hitler, who was convinced in the stands that Lutz Lang had won the german title, and he left the scene in anger and canceled plans to personally present the championship.
Lutz Lang enlisted in the army after the outbreak of World War II, representing Germany in the war, and was killed in 1943. Owens later recalled that it was Lutz Lang who helped him win 4 gold medals, and it was Lutz Lang who taught him that simple and caring human love is the true spirit of athletes.
There is no devious politics in the Olympic arena, no race advantages or disadvantages, no gold medal gains and losses. In that era of rampant racism, Lutz Lang interpreted the true Olympic spirit to the world with a pure and unblemished heart. He is an Olympic child who is not afraid of the powerful!

- "True Hero" Ahvari
At the 1968 Mexican Olympics, the marathon, John Stephen Ahwari, the first to represent Tanzania at the Olympics, was injured by a 19-kilometer squeeze and stomp, resulting in a perforated knee and a dislocated shoulder, but he still insisted on limping for the entire distance. By the time he ran to the stadium, the award ceremony was long over, but the applause that rang out in all corners of the stadium turned into the best reward for Ahvari. This is "the greatest scene in olympic history" and "the last greatest place in Olympic history".
"My country sent me here from 7,000 miles away, not to start the race, but to finish the race." Ahwali's answer in an interview with the media has become the firm belief of countless people to serve the country.
3. Qingshan is the same as the clouds and rain, and Mingyue He was once two townships.

This is the first time that the "Korean Peninsula Flag" has appeared on the Olympic field, which has amazed the audience and the world. The unique charm of the Olympic spirit embodies the common aspirations of peace-loving people all over the world: I hope that one day, there will be no more tears and hatred in this world!
4. The sword has not yet been worn, and in the blink of an eye.
" Lonely defeat" Eric
At the 2000 Sydney Olympics, in the men's 100m freestyle, Equatorial Guinea's Eric Mosmbani set the slowest result in the event in Olympic history, and also created the best result in Equatorial Guinea! When he struggled to "die alone" in the pool, the audience in the stands also changed from the initial ridicule to cheers and cheers.
Although he ranked last, he was as happy as a champion, because he could not have dreamed of signing up for a domestic emergency selection competition and even holding a wild card to get to the Olympics! As the country's first swimmer, in the absence of a professional swimming pool, no swimming team, and no coach, he only practiced for 8 months before and after.
Eight years later, Eric became the swimming coach for the national team. He said: How much I want the world to know that in the 100-meter freestyle, I can swim for 57 seconds. One day I will take my team to the Olympics again!
May Eric go through a thousand sails and return to be the happy teenager.
5. The sun rises in the east and rains in the west, and the road is clear but sunny.
- "Love Boy" Emmons

Czech shooter Katerina went to comfort them, and the two fell in love at first sight and later married. In the same event at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Emmons stepped into the same river for the second time with an equally incredible mistake. However, Katerina rushed down from the stands and comforted her sad husband.
The joke of fate made Emmons powerless to resist, but fortunately he still had his wife, and in her arms, Emmons's tears slowly flowed. Defeat on the field, love field triumphant. As the saying goes: "The sun rises in the east and rains in the west, and the road is clear but sunny." "The couple's Olympic story is still lamentable.

- "Olympic Mother" Chusovkina
On July 25, 2021, at the Women's Gymnastics Qualifying Tournament at the Tokyo Olympic Games, 46-year-old Uzbekistan gymnast Chusovykina finally finished 14th in vaulting with 14.166 points, missing the individual final. On July 26, Chusovykina announced her retirement, ending a 33-year career and an immortal legend of 8 Olympic Games.
She competed again and again, only to earn medical bills for her leukemia-stricken son. She once said affectionately to her son a sentence that made countless people burst into tears: "You are not cured, I dare not grow old." ”
Chusovkina, a 1.53-meter tall female gymnast, a heroic mother, a legend on the field.
Now that Chusovkina's son has recovered and is admitted to college, Chusovkina will spend time with her son after retiring from the army.
If you are born difficult, compared to this great mother, are you ashamed that you do not have such a tough heart as hers!
7. No wave true ancient well, there is a festival is autumn reed.
- "The Uncrowned King" Oti
Jamaican Slovenian track and field star Oti participated in seven Olympic Games from the 1980 Moscow Olympics to the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. As the most olympic track and field athlete, Oti won a total of 3 silver, 6 bronze and 9 medals, but lacked a gold. At the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, the 36-year-old Oti crossed the finish line side by side with Defus in the 100m final, and Oti was second in the second place with a very slight disadvantage of five thousandths of a second, which is also considered one of the most heartbreaking defeats in Olympic history.
It is gratifying that the true Olympic "uncrowned king" has won people's high respect for his love of sprinting and dedication beyond the age of participation. On April 20, 2020, the famous American sports media "Athletics News" selected the top ten female flyers in the history of the world's track and field 100 meters, and Oti ranked first.
Looking at the Olympic arena, there is no shortage of real heroes. But the golden medal, after all, belongs to only a few of the best; for more people, it is a dream that will never be reached.
However, every ordinary life is not another arena? Dear readers and friends, whether you are in the adversity of life or not, please revisit the stories of these Olympic heroes, I believe they will give you great courage and strength to overcome any difficulties!
