just to make those dreams come true

Chapter 332 After the Awards
8:17 on December 21th.

Inside the Bird's Nest Stadium, there are no empty seats.

It's still full, and it's still full of voices, but today's audience seems to be less enthusiastic.

It has been more than 2 hours since the evening competition started. Even the just-concluded women's 3000-meter obstacle course final has outstanding results, and the shock of breaking the world record did not make the audience give too much enthusiasm.It seems that there is an invisible air being tightly suppressed by them. .

until……

In the stadium, Olympic volunteers and staff are busy clearing the obstacles on the track and preparing for the next event.

At the same time, in the middle of the stadium, three podiums of different heights were also successfully completed under the arrangement of the staff.

The noise and hustle and bustle are still there, but the audience who were still active from time to time have settled down, and they are waiting...

Emotions were slowly spreading, and the stadium instantly came alive!

"Wait a moment!"

At the entrance of the athlete's passage in the stadium, Lin Mu smiled and called to Zhao Lin and Shen Huan who were about to follow the volunteers into the passage.

"coach?"

Like many times before, Zhao Lin and Shen Huan immediately responded respectfully when they heard the coach's call.

It's just that the two of them were a little confused, the coach seemed a little strange today.From the indifferent smile of the coach, they always felt something different.

"grown up!"

Lin Mu reached out to smooth the national team sportswear for Zhao Lin and Shen Huan, and then patted their arms.Then he waved his hand and signaled them to go.

The two were a little confused, what happened to the coach?They are both 25 and 6 years old, of course they have grown up!

Didn't rest well?

It seems to be the same. The game was quite late yesterday. After the game ended with an on-site interview, the coach and Director Feng took them to a small post-match press conference.It was almost 12 o'clock when I returned to the Olympic Village after this toss.

I didn't sleep much at night, and in the morning, I had to face the leaders and media from all sides. Before I had a rest, I went to the Olympic studio to record a program.Night of Champions, Olympic Pass, whatever.It didn't stop until it was almost evening.

The coach was with them from the beginning to the end. The coach never came up when talking about honors, but as long as there was something wrong with the topic, the coach was the first to answer the conversation.

"coach?"

"Go!"

"it is good!"

Zhao Lin could only nod his head, and the two of them turned around with doubts and followed the volunteers, heading into the passage.

"It's grown up!"

Looking at the backs of the two, Lin Mu felt a little emotional.

After becoming "Lin Mu", the first batch of children under him have truly grown into people who can support the national track and field sprint cause.This is not determined by one or two championship honors. It is the mentality, behavior, technical level, and sincerity for the cause and the country.

In the future, there may be many such disciples in his hands who will grow up step by step. I hope that each generation can grow up smoothly and vigorously, and contribute to the dream of a sports power in China as a whole.

Let's go to the stadium, a song you can never tire of listening to!

"Arise, you who will not be slaves..."

Humming the moving melody, Lin Mu walked towards the sidelines.

"Old Shen, is the coach today?"

The three people who were about to present the awards had already gathered together. After Zhao Lin greeted the tall black man in front of him, he still couldn't help asking about Coach Shen Huan.

"Oh, maybe, maybe, we will be the same as Brother Yang!"

Shen Huan gave his own understanding thoughtfully.

"what?!"

Zhao Lin was a little surprised, but after turning his head, he felt that this was indeed the case, and he couldn't help but have some subtle feelings in his heart.

Same as Brother Yang, that means flying solo relatively independently.Now Yang Zuyao is equivalent to the captain and half coach of the sprint team.

The coach will ask Brother Yang for his opinions on the arrangement and decision-making of many things. Usually, the arrangements for training and competitions are mostly decided by Brother Yang himself.Unless there is something difficult to handle, the coach will come forward.

Of course, Yang Ge will take care of the growth of young athletes during each training camp without affecting his own training.

"Ok!"

Zhao Lin nodded. He has always understood the coach's thoughts, and he never thought about saying goodbye to sports in the future.He is willing to work with the coach to fight for the goal in his heart.It's just that at this time, he still feels a little bit reluctant, and it feels really good to be taken care of and cared for by the coach.

I have grown up!

Zhao Lin, I understand!
"Hi, Zhao, Shen..."

While the two were thinking, the grinning black young man came up to say hello again with a big smile on his face.

The two spoke a few words in Chinese, but he didn't understand them. He met them occasionally, but they were really unfamiliar.But it doesn't matter, this is a good opponent, he respects each other and is happy to deal with each other.

Of course, we still have to defeat them in the future.He was a little unwilling to lose this time.With such a small gap, there are many factors that can make up the gap. Even if you run again, the result may be completely different. Of course, he is not reconciled.

"Bolt, you are amazing!"

Reaching out without hitting the smiling person, Zhao Lin greeted with a friendly smile, and then gave a thumbs up.

He really thinks that he is good. If he would not be able to outrun the opponent more than half a year ago, he feels that his quality has not improved much in the past six months.However, the integration of body and technology, as well as the improvement of state, physical fitness, and core performance stability are enormous.

The coach once said that to perform perfectly in any state, he feels that he has practiced very well.In this way, he was only slightly ahead of the opponent.For some time to come, this big black man is bound to be the strongest opponent.

"I still lost to you!"

Bolt's smile did not change, but there was inevitably a bit of regret on his face, but it was only a little, and he took it back in an instant, and then said: "Unfortunately, you don't run 200 meters, otherwise I will win back! "

"Haha, Bolt, it's not easy to win the 200 meters. We in Huaxia have people who are much better than me waiting for you!"

"Is it Yang? I competed with him last year, and he is very strong!"

Bolt became a little more serious, Huaxia's players are indeed strong, and that Yang is also an opponent he attaches great importance to this time.He only took third place in last year's competition, and this year he planned to come to revenge.

"Zhao..."

They are all top athletes of the same age and level, although the three of them didn't talk about too in-depth topics when they were together.But after a few words, it seemed quite harmonious.

"Three gentlemen, the award ceremony is about to begin, please, this way!"

While the three were chatting and laughing, the female volunteer who led the athletes into the arena gave a crisp and pleasant reminder.

They kept smiling, elegant yet polite.But when he looked at the three of them, there was some sparkle in his eyes.

Most of the etiquette volunteers this time are carefully selected from domestic colleges and universities, and they have received strict etiquette training.But who doesn't have the heart of a girl to worship a hero?

These track and field stars not only have great honors, but also look more beautiful than those in other sports.It fully meets the beautiful standards of most young girls.

Facing the biggest sports stars in the country, their hearts were already beating fast.

At the same time, when these young and beautiful girls guided the three of them into the arena, the broadcast sounded in the Bird's Nest Stadium.

"...Welcome the men's 100m final winners!"

In an instant, cheers and applause sounded like thunder, and the accumulated enthusiasm exploded in an instant in the originally seemingly indifferent stadium.

"Huaxia!"

"Clap clap~"

"Huaxia!"

"Clap clap~"

……

Amidst the rhythmic beat and thunderous cheers, Zhao Lin, Bolt, and Shen Huan walked into the stadium led by Miss Etiquette.

In front of the podium, the three people lined up correspondingly, and settled in front of the podium with different heights.

The on-site host of the conference broadcast to the audience in passionate Chinese and English:

"...The sprinter from China, Shen Huan, who won the men's 100-meter bronze medal in this Olympic Games, please invite him to stand on the podium..."

Shen Huan's usual silence disappeared, and with a smile on his face, he stepped onto the podium, smiled with tears in his eyes, raised his hands high, and saluted the surrounding stands.

Amid the applause, cheers, cheers, and passionate slogans of cheers, the atmosphere reached a new climax.

No.3, bronze medal, a dreamlike fact.

I have talent, and I have more flaws, but I finally became one of the top sprinters in the world. I am Shen Huan, a Chinese athlete.

"...The men's 100-meter silver medal in this Olympic Games is from Jamaica, Usain Bolt, let him stand on the podium..."

With a smile, Bolt stepped onto the podium.

Following the guidance of agents, coaches, and assistants, he poses in various looks that attract people's attention.Bolt showed his personality in front of the whole world.

After Bolt stood on the runner-up podium, in an instant, the clamor in the stadium set off a heat wave, and it went straight to the ceiling, and the atmosphere on the scene reached a climax.

Whether it's on or off the field, every Chinese person with a fiery red heart can feel a hot current flowing through his body at this moment.The passion is surging, the blood is boiling, and a strong feeling of national honor and pride arises spontaneously.

"The men's 100-meter gold medalist in this Olympic Games is the Huaxia athlete, Zhao Lin!"

When Zhao Lin heard his name being broadcast on the live conference broadcast, he stood in awe, gently pulled the corner of his clothes, smoothed his national team sportswear, and stepped steadily on the podium.

Pressing his left hand on his chest, he raised his right hand high and waved to everyone in the stadium.

Familiar Chinese slogans were floating everywhere in the audience, and a wave of emotion rushed into my heart.This is a responsibility, but also a mission!

"Ladies and gentlemen, please stand up and play the National Anthem of the People's Republic of China!"

The dignified and high-spirited voice of the broadcast host of the conference came from the loudspeaker equipment in every corner of the venue.

Almost thunderous cheers broke out suddenly.

When the sonorous and passionate prelude sounded leisurely, the scene was silent.

At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on the center of the stadium. Under the tall flagpole, two five-star red flags were slowly rising.

"Arise! People who will not be slaves!"

"Build our flesh and blood into our new Great Wall!"

"The Chinese nation has reached the most dangerous time;"

"Everyone is forced to let out a final roar..."

The national chorus of tens of thousands of people resounded in the stadium, and the solemn melody floated outside the stadium, out of Yanjing, and across the country, echoing on the magnificent land of China.

……

"Go forward, enter..."

The music of the national anthem came to an end, but the boiling sound of the entire stadium continued.

Every time the five-star red flag is raised, every time the music of the March of the Volunteers is heard, every Chinese who loves the country is excited from the bottom of his heart.

The sports people who have worked hard for all these are particularly excited, with a sense of satisfaction, honor, pride, and pride in their hearts.

"...Okay, audience friends, after the men's 100-meter award ceremony, the women's 100-meter final will be held soon..."

On the sidelines, the group of Huaxia Athletics, who still had some aftertaste, were pulled back to their senses by the live broadcast.

Looking at each other and smiling, under the tearful eyes, no one would laugh at the other.

"very nice!"

After Luo Yi wiped his face with his hands, he was full of smiles.

"Xiao Lin, Lao Feng, Lao Yu..."

After beckoning, Luo Yi called out to several leaders of the track and field team.

"Xiao Lin, I, Lao Luo, want to thank you..."

A few people walked back and forth, Luo Yi's excitement had not completely calmed down, his life and career were more exciting and brilliant than he had expected.Under his leadership, the track and field has taken a small step every year and a big step in a few years. Now at the door of their home, they have reached the pinnacle.

His rank has been raised, and the future is uncertain, but it will not be too bad. The bureau has paid more attention to it, and he was lucky to sit next to the big leader that day.Once upon a time, how could I have imagined such a situation.

It is true that all this is due to his leadership, but it is also due to the hard work of his subordinates, especially this Lin Mu.

"Don't, director, don't put me on the shelf, I feel a little uneasy, it seems that some trouble is coming to me again!"

Lin Mu hurriedly declined with a smile, saying that it's okay to let the leader praise, but it's not necessarily a good thing to let the leader thank you.

"Haha~"

Feng Yong and Yu Weili laughed together, and Luo Yi also had a helpless expression on his face just right.

Talking and laughing, they seem to be in a good mood.It should indeed be good, a good start, and it is still the top one.The attention of the leaders was not disappointing, the hard work was rewarded, the country, the people, the coaches, the athletes, everything was perfect.

"Director, I still have to say something unpleasant!"

At the intersection of the stands, Feng Yong finally spoke after deliberating.

"Ah~"

Luo Yi touched his forehead, and finally brought out his troubles.

Liu Xiang's matter, Xing Na's matter, the two gold medal winners last year.Xing Na is better. After all, the last Olympic Games did not attract much attention. Even if expectations were raised before this competition, it is not a big problem if she didn't run in the end.But Liu Xiang is completely different!
From the perspective of the entire track and field event, winning the [-]-meter championship has actually achieved at least half of the expectations of the leaders and Chinese people.It can be said that the pressure on Liu Xiang will be much less.But the real result has not reached a certain moment, who can be sure.

After so many years of training, the last Olympic Games reached its pinnacle, broke the world record, and won the Grand Slam of the event.He has won dozens of champions, big and small, which is considered to be the right training.Liu Xiang's performance all the time is also worthy of the attention and love given by the broad masses of the people.

But it is precisely this series of honors, attention, and love that are inevitably placed with infinite hopes by people.This hope is more and more important than Xing Na or even Zhao Lin and Yang Zuyao.

Gold medal points, Huaxia's hope of winning the championship, it's nothing to lose, I believe everyone can understand, Zhao Lin has lost for many years, and no one really said anything.But now, it's not as simple as losing.

"What does the old grandson say?"

Luo Yi asked.

Feng Yong looked at Yu Weili, who shook his head. Obviously, Sun Ping is also a little bit blind now, and doesn't know how to deal with it.

"Let's announce it, but don't let Lao Sun and Liu Xiang talk about it. There will be a pre-match press conference tomorrow morning to introduce the competition after the sprint. Find an opportunity to mention it, it can be regarded as a vaccination first!"

Luo Yi thought for a while and decided.

"Don't!"

Lin Mu looked at the eyes of the three leaders staring at him, and he knew that nothing was going to happen. He was not afraid of facing anyone.But he always felt that this was not the case, and he was a bit overstepping, and he was not sure what Sun Ping and Liu Xiang were thinking.

"Xiao Lin, you are the deputy head coach and the leader. Now you are responsible for the sprint of the track and field team. I just mentioned it while the [-] meters is hot. The explanation is easier to accept, not to say that there are achievements. Are people always right? The public will be more inclusive!"

"And, yesterday at the big leader's side, your name was registered..."

Facing Lin Mu's embarrassment and reluctance, Luo Yi discussed it kindly.

There is no other way. As a leader, he can come forward to say something, or even not to say it. At that time, no matter what, it will be all about the athletes and the head coach.I believe that no one will find any excuses to blame him.But he still wants to reduce the pressure on coaches and athletes as much as possible.

Lin Mu was obviously the right candidate, with a suitable reputation, honor, and status. As long as he didn't say anything reactionary or rebellious at this time, no one would target him with a few explanations.

"Little Lin~"

"Xiao Lin!"

Almost at the same time, Feng Yong and Yu Weili also shouted.

"Okay, the three emotional leaders have made a big circle!"

Lin Mu was a little annoyed, "OK, I'm afraid of you, I'll mention it. If that's the case, then I'll go first. I'll be here waiting for me for a long time!"

"Old Feng, Xiao Lin?"

Lin Mu left, looking very "serious", which made Luo Yi feel a little unsure, don't really create any barriers between them because of such a small matter.Lin Mu's team, as well as the attention from above, he is not just a subordinate.

"Director, it's all right. Kobayashi was joking. He probably meant to try to minimize such things that have nothing to do with his scope of management in the future. In fact, he has always been concerned about other projects."

Yu Weili has dealt with Lin Mu the most, and knows Lin Mu very well, "It's just that he doesn't care after all, and he is young. Many times I can see that he is hesitant to speak, and he is also afraid of affecting the track and field team. atmosphere."

"Not in his position, not looking for his own government, it is indeed a bit out of bounds, but it's okay!"

Feng Yong also nodded, and then asked, "Director, the burden should be increased, right?!"

"It's about the same, the director's side, and above..."

When Feng Yong asked, Luo Yi just nodded and said a few words, but thinking about the development of the past few years, there may be a group of people who have to move their butts in this Olympic Games.

According to Lin Mu's current situation, he is no longer a person without roots. Changes are impossible, and things will happen naturally.
