Chapter 1181 Athens Olympics
At the end of July.
Just when Panshan Group held its year-end party group meeting, the United States finally stopped putting pressure on the Athens Olympic Committee and stopped setting obstacles and making things difficult for the Iraqi delegation to participate in the Olympics.
The Athens Olympic Committee held a press conference and officially confirmed that the Iraqi delegation would participate in this Olympics.
Naturally, major media outlets around the world reported on this news and praised the United States.
After all, Americans have always been domineering, and it is not easy to take a step back.
Just a week before the Athens Olympics, both the Afghan battlefield and the Iraqi battlefield announced that in order to ensure the smooth holding of the Athens Olympics, there would be no more exchanges of fire between the two sides until the end of the Athens Olympics.
This statement from both sides was highly praised by the Athens Olympic Committee, the International Olympic Committee and all parties. After all, this can be said to be a full face!
Athens, the Chinese delegation, which had already arrived in Athens for training and was familiar with the weather and climate of Athens, was the first delegation to arrive in Athens. Even the American delegation arrived later than the Chinese delegation.
This time, the Chinese delegation had a large lineup, setting a new record and surpassing the previous Olympics.
China will participate in all the Olympic Games. In addition to a larger number of athletes, the coaching, medical and chef forces have been greatly improved compared to the previous session.
And the whole of Athens is full of Chinese elements.
On July 25, two subways in Athens were opened. The subways were built by Huaxia Construction Group and the trains were manufactured by Huaxia High-speed Railway EMU Production Group.
The mascot of the Athens Olympic Games was also made by China.
The power supply safety of the entire Olympics is also guaranteed by the Southern Power Grid.
The 22 stadiums built by Athens for the Olympics were all built by Chinese companies, and the Olympic Village was also built by Chinese companies.
The clothes of the volunteers were produced by China. The shoes, bulletproof vests and bulletproof helmets worn by the security forces were all produced by China.
The security inspection equipment and competition equipment were all made by China.
Even those outdoor advertising screens were also manufactured by China.
In addition, sponsors and small companies that play "edge ball" on the periphery, Chinese companies are showing their influence through the Olympics, not afraid of dangers and dare to challenge.
It can be said that the Chinese factor is "everywhere" in the Athens Olympics. Chinese enterprises and Chinese manufacturing have begun to show a posture of participating in the Olympic economy in all aspects.
In the Athens Olympics, Chinese enterprises are also the largest Olympic sponsors.
Gree Electric Appliances has become the official supplier of this Olympics. Gree air-conditioning products will cover the competition venues, Olympic Village, Media Village, supporting hotels and airports.
As for the Olympic vehicles, Huaxia Automobile failed to compete with European car companies and failed to become the official supplier of this Olympics.
This time, the most watched is not the national ball "table tennis", there is no suspense about this, but the Chinese men's basketball team!
This time, the US men's basketball team, those superstars are afraid of terrorist explosions and shootings threatening their own safety, and they have refused to participate. This time, the US men's basketball team is led by Duncan and Iverson, and the others are Marbury, Boozer, Marion, Odom, Martin, Jermaine O'Neal, and Wade, James, who just finished his rookie season, and this year's rookie Aimee Okafor. It is the most shabby lineup after the Dream Team!
This gives other competitors a chance to win the gold medal!
Even many Chinese basketball fans see this as a godsend.
After winning the gold medal in the Men's Basketball World Cup, Chinese fans have a greater ambition, which is to win the gold medal in the Men's Basketball Olympics!
In addition, Liu Qing'an and Liu Manhua, two professional tennis players, have also attracted much attention. They are both very popular and are world sports stars. Liu Qing'an is handsome, has comprehensive and stable skills, a gorgeous and positive style of play, and a gentlemanly and elegant image. He has a large number of fans in the world, and Liu Qing'an is active in the field of charity and is well received.
Liu Manhua has exquisite facial features and can be said to be stunningly beautiful. She is known as the first beauty in the sports world. Moreover, Liu Manhua is now full of honors. Although she is only 21 years old, she has already won more than a dozen championships.
Liu Qing'an and Liu Manhua have never lost gold medals in the national team's tennis mixed doubles competition. The gold medal in the tennis mixed doubles competition at the Athens Olympics is also relatively stable.
In this Athens Olympics, many Chinese people went to Athens, traveled to Athens, and watched the Olympics in Athens.
The opening ceremony of the Athens Olympic Games was held with the theme of "After 108 years, the Olympics return to their hometown". Delegations from more than 200 countries and regions around the world, nearly 10,000 performers and staff, and more than 50,000 spectators gathered together to witness this sports event with 4 billion TV viewers around the world.
At this opening ceremony, Athens showed its noble and elegant scene, allowing the world to feel the culture of Athens and see the heritage and charm of Athens culture.
Liu Tao was alone at home, watching the opening ceremony of the Athens Olympic Games.
As for his wife and children, they all went to Athens and watched the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in person.
Watching the opening ceremony, Liu Tao nodded slightly. The opening ceremony of the Athens Olympic Games was a performance with real historical heritage.
The entire opening ceremony was beautiful and shocking. Whether it was drumming or lute, it was shocking. This kind of cultural heritage of an ancient civilization cannot be imitated by other countries.
And the drumming, representing the dialogue between the ancient Greeks and modern people, is very creative.
Greece is the birthplace of Western civilization and represents the early civilization of the entire West. It must be said that the Athenians put a lot of thought into this Olympics.
The five rings of fire in water are very beautiful. Not only are they the Olympic rings, but they also remind people of Prometheus stealing fire in Greek mythology.
This kind of creativity and cultural connotation is indeed commendable.
The geometric paper boat that followed was a display of Greek navigation technology and mathematics. This scene was also very beautiful.
Liu Tao watched the opening ceremony with an appreciative attitude for more than 40 minutes of performance.
When the delegations of various countries came on stage, there were more or less, some reminded of their national characteristics, and some pursued individuality.
About 1 hour and 40 minutes later, it was finally the turn of the Chinese delegation.
This was definitely the most exciting thing for the Chinese people when the delegations of various countries came on stage.
China is constantly becoming stronger, and it has also been continuously reflected in the opening ceremonies of the Olympic Games.
Whether it is the size of the delegation, the number of participating competitions, the number of gold medals won, the mental outlook of the athletes, etc., these are all manifestations.
In this Athens Olympics, the athletes of the Chinese delegation held their heads high, full of vigor and confidence that they did not have when they participated in the Los Angeles Olympics!
When the Chinese delegation participated in the Los Angeles Olympics, even the athletes were not allowed to leave at will, because they were worried that some athletes would be greatly shocked by the prosperity of Los Angeles and lose themselves.
But now it is different, the Chinese athletes are full of confidence. (End of this chapter)
