The Su God of the Reopening of the Sports Arena

Chapter 1951: Leaving on the clouds at the peak! This is what a hero deserves

The conference site.

After everyone finished speaking.

The reporters thought they could leave.

The same is true if you follow the normal process. Most of the reporters are experienced and know when they have finished, just when they start to pack up their equipment and computers...

Sudden.

Feng Shuyong waved his hand.

Signaling everyone to stay a little longer.

The leader of the General Administration nodded.

It seemed that Feng Shuyong had already discussed this with him before the competition, but the other project leaders looked a little confused, and it was obvious that he had not told the others.

"Why did he ask us to stay?"

"Isn't the press conference over?"

"He's quite popular too."

But what they don’t know is…

Feng Shuyong is prepared to leave the biggest limelight and the final show to the athletes themselves.

Let the leaders line up behind the athletes.

This is what he has always wanted to do.

The old model of leaders in front and athletes behind is no longer suitable for the development of modern sports. The development of modern sports requires leaders to give up their original roles in front of the stage.

Each era has its own characteristics.

Athletes of this era also need a stage to show themselves.

As a leader, you just need to do what a leader should do.

  The reporters at the scene were also a little confused about what was going on. According to the rules, the event should have ended and the final closing remarks should have been announced, but they didn’t expect there would be something more to come... ?

There doesn't seem to be any such process.

Some people looked down at the press conference.

of course not.

Because this is also a temporary decision.

And under the examination of the team doctor.

Feng Shuyong was also certain that it was impossible to bring it back. Moreover, he had already fulfilled his wish and resolved his knot. Now it was time for him to leave at the top of the mountain...

Maybe it's the best choice.

After communicating with myself and the athlete's team.

Feng Shuyong decided to give today's finale to this man who has dedicated his entire youth to Chinese track and field.

Liu Xiang was pushed out by Su Shen and Zhao Haohuan.

The rest of the situation has been fixed.

But the best he can do is stand up and sit down, and if he wants to move around he has to use a wheelchair or crutches.

Two people volunteered to stand on Liu Xiang's left and right.

Liu Xiang saw these two familiar juniors.

He also smiled.

The decision to say goodbye in my heart.

A little more determined.

"Hello everyone, I am athlete Liu Xiang."

Liu Xiang?

Why did he finally speak out?

Didn’t the athlete recognition just now end?

Not only did the reporter not understand, the other project leaders didn't understand either.

Because of the documents they have.

There is no such process.

But the next second.

Everyone was inspired by Liu Xiang's voice.

Only six words were used.

I decided to retire.

Maybe it was quiet for half a second.

Then the whole audience suddenly felt like they were thrown into a frying pan by a drop of cold water.

Suddenly it exploded.

Then Feng Shuyong stood aside on behalf of the track and field team and began to read a thank you letter -

  Dear Liu Xiang:

Seeing the news that you were injured after winning the men's 110m at the London Olympics yesterday, all the comrades of the track and field team and colleagues in the national track and field community are very concerned about this, and are very distressed and concerned about your injury. You overcame unimaginable pain in the competition, and forced yourself to go on the field and win the championship despite being confined. You fully demonstrated the strong will and good mental outlook of Chinese track and field athletes, interpreted the Olympic spirit of faster, higher, stronger, and won the respect of your opponents, the respect of the audience, and the understanding of the people of the country. Here, on behalf of the Track and Field Center and the athletes and coaches of the national track and field community, I would like to express my highest respect and most sincere condolences to you.

[At this time, the electronic big screen prepared for the press conference also began to play the highlights of Liu Xiang's personal career. ]

【And it plays in reverse. 】

Over the past decade, you have fought for the honor of the country, marched forward for your dreams, and made unremitting efforts to promote the development of Chinese track and field. With your firm self-confidence, tenacious fighting spirit, and the courage to be the first, you have created one victory after another in the international arena, won glory for Chinese track and field, and brought us surprises and touching moments again and again, making the national track and field community excited, proud and proud. Your spirit and temperament have infected and inspired a generation of track and field people, and will continue to inspire more young people to participate in track and field sports.

【From London to the Bird's Nest in 08. 】

[Various real videos that had not been exposed before began to be broadcast, including the scene where Liu Xiang frantically proposed to kick the wall with his feet to relieve the pain. This time, there was no hiding it and it was broadcast in public.]

[This is also a kind of recognition given to him by the official. ]

The long road to becoming a champion is filled with glory and brilliance, as well as ups and downs and bitterness.

Along the way, you have climbed to the top and fallen to the bottom. Since 08, you have had to face the troubles of injuries. But for the everlasting Olympic dream in your heart, you faced difficulties, overcame injuries, trained hard, and boldly innovated to return to the ranks of the world's top athletes. Let us see your perseverance, your persistence and your love for track and field. You have proved yourself again with your practical actions of never giving up and pursuing excellence, showing the true charm of the Olympics, and inspiring more Chinese track and field athletes to strive for self-improvement, overcome themselves, and climb to the top. As the pride of the yellow race, you will always be a banner of Chinese track and field and a role model for Chinese track and field athletes to learn from.

【Finally, time continues to rewind to the 04 Olympics. 】

"The long pass through Xiongguan is really like iron, but now we are crossing it from the beginning."

The road ahead is still long. We hope that you can let go of your burdens, recuperate with peace of mind, recover soon, embark on your journey again, bring surprises to all those who care about you, and continue to write brilliant stories on the road of life!

  My best wishes to you!

The miracle of Athens will always remain in the hearts of all of us Chinese!

All members of the Flower Planting Family Track and Field Team come on stage.

Feng Shuyong's voice was accompanied by the appearance of Liu Xiang crossing the finish line in 04.

Everything seemed to have returned to eight years ago.

He was only in his early 20s at that time.

Liu Xiang turned his head and looked.

Sometimes he almost can't remember what he looked like in 04.

After 08, he dared not watch this video again.

But it all came to an end in London.

Through what may be the strongest duo duel in the history of the 110m hurdles Olympic final.

Won the Olympic gold medal.

these 8 years.

Sometimes I really feel that.

It's really like a dream.

In 8 years, I am almost 30 years old.

The entire youth was spent on the runway.

Recall.

It seems like these eight years have been a constant chase, with no time to stop, not even time to reminisce.

And now it's finally time to rest.

I have dedicated all my youth to the Chinese track and field team.

Two Olympic gold medals, three World Championship gold medals, plus a gold medal at the World Indoor Championships.

Plus Olympic records, world records.

This time, Liu Xiang can be said to have truly retired with honor.

And with a gold medal at the London Olympics, the world's attitude towards him is much better than last time.

but.

This was too sudden.

A reporter immediately raised his hand and asked, "Why do you want to retire? Didn't you just win the London Olympics? Didn't you just break your own Olympic record in the 110-meter hurdles?"

"Why do you want to retire at this time?"

The reporter's question also expressed the thoughts of most people. God knows how many people were eating at this time, and they almost forgot to swallow the food in their mouths halfway through.

Because Liu Xiang is the first rising benchmark of the Chinese track and field team.

His national influence is terrifying.

Before this Olympic gold medal, if you only considered domestic influence, Su Shen was probably still a little behind Liu Xiang at his peak.

Liu Xiang has accumulated too many fans during this period.

If a clear answer is not given, fans will probably come and blow up the track and field team's gate tomorrow.

This time Liu Xiang spoke lightly and bluntly. He had even forgotten how long it had been since he could say whatever he wanted without having to think too much.

"Because I'm hurt."

“After the final race, I ruptured my Achilles tendon.” “So I decided to retire.”

"It's that simple."

Achilles tendon ruptured???

As soon as this word came out, not to mention sports journalists, even ordinary people would understand how fatal this injury is for athletes.

Not to mention that Liu Xiang had undergone Achilles tendon surgery before.

Do this again.

It’s hard to say whether it can be recovered.

"When were you injured?" Many people have not yet digested the news that Liu Xiang was injured. Some reporters felt confused and asked this question subconsciously.

“The direct injury happened during the final.”

"If injuries accumulate, they would have happened before the Olympics started."

Because Liu Xiang is the winner now.

Because he is now the world champion Olympic champion and the new Olympic record holder.

Then everyone will be very tolerant of him.

He is saying this now.

It even makes people feel that he was able to withstand injuries and win the championship. He is a real tough guy and a representative work of our flower growers' bravery.

Therefore, no one would stop him from saying anything now.

"Then...when will the surgery be performed?"

"It should be tonight." Liu Xiang said: "After the press conference, I should take the ambulance there. After all, you know my current condition. I can't walk on my own."

After laughing at himself, Sun Haiping also spoke up beside him: "The surgeon in charge is Nick Cullen, a famous sports medicine foot and ankle expert in Kitty Hawk Country."

"We have done the examination, and the MRI shows that Liu Xiang's right ankle ligament is torn and needs surgery. Liu Xiang's nursing team originally planned to perform surgery on Liu Xiang on the afternoon of the 8th local time in London, and even arranged the surgeon, but after consulting with experts, it was decided to postpone the surgery to this evening local time."

"All the track and field fans who care about Liu Xiang, please rest assured that although Wellington Hospital is a "young" hospital with only 2005 years of history, after just 8 years of development, it has grown into the largest sports medicine hospital in the UK and the largest private hospital in Europe. Its midfoot and ankle department has become a key specialty department of Wellington Hospital with its MRI detection technology and minimally invasive surgery technology. In addition to being an expert of the hospital, Nick Cullen was also named a consultant by the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in August . Because it is a private hospital, the hospital has not disclosed to the outside world the names of any sports stars or patients who have come for treatment, which is why Liu Xiang finally chose this place."

After saying that.

Everyone understands.

Liu Xiang, who just won the 110m hurdles championship in London, was really seriously injured and really ready to retire. So many people are still looking forward to Liu Xiang's World Championships in Moscow next year, and they all feel like a heavy blow to their heads.

Just won the Olympic championship.

That's it.

  Have you retired?

"Well, may I ask, you won't be participating in the 2015 Beijing World Championships at the Bird's Nest?"

Liu Xiang smiled and said: "I originally planned to participate. My original plan was to run until I was 30 or 35 years old. If I can't get into the top three in Asia, I will choose to retire."

"But I didn't expect my Achilles tendon to be so weak."

Liu Xiang didn't know whether he was laughing at himself or was really smiling bitterly: "After the second follow-up of the injury, our consulting expert told me that it is almost impossible for me to recover to my peak. If I want to have normal activities in the future, I may not be able to do hurdles anymore."

“So sometimes plans can’t keep up with changes.”

"So I can only say sorry to everyone here. I may not be able to go to the Bird's Nest in 2015."

Liu Xiang used all his strength in the London arena.

Now he looks more like a neighbor's brother.

All the anger disappeared without a trace along with this hard-earned gold medal.

He wasn't even as reluctant and emotional as he was the last time he retired.

Because of all he had to do.

All of this has been done at the London Olympics.

Since you have already got what you wanted.

Naturally, you will feel more peaceful inside.

"Do you have any regrets?" a reporter asked.

"Pity?"

Liu Xiang smiled and took out the London Olympic gold medal hanging around his neck and said: "I have no regrets."

“Maybe before the game.”

“But now, there is none.”

"I have given the best of myself to everyone. You have all seen the ups and downs of my life."

"Hurdles are what I love, hurdles are what I love, every time I walk onto the track I feel like I'm still burning with passion, but injuries have already told me..."

"It's time for me to leave."

“And I have no regrets.”

"Just now this reporter asked me if I had any regrets. I really don't have any regrets."

“I even feel like I’m lucky.”

"I've been running these ten hurdles for so many years, it's time to take a break."

“My life wouldn’t be this wonderful without hurdles.”

“But track and field competitions go on.”

"The Chinese track and field team is still going on."

"After I leave, there is a new generation coming. New talents keep emerging. This is what I want to see in Chinese athletics."

"And they made me feel comfortable enough to leave."

As he spoke, Liu Xiang looked behind him.

The heavy atmosphere also eased a little.

"Finally, I just want to say that although I have retired, my heart is still with Chinese track and field."

"Bless our Chinese athletics."

"Tomorrow will be better."

"thank you all."

Su Shen was listening behind him.

He had heard Liu Xiang's retirement speech countless times.

This time there are some things I have heard before and some things I have not heard before.

But you can tell by looking at Liu Xiang's expression, smile and eyes.

He really felt that he had no regrets.

Yourself.

Or it could be said that this was the biggest regret in the history of the Chinese track and field team, and it was made up by themselves.

Hero of China.

I should have been walking on colorful clouds.

Retreat with honor.

Instead of leaving with regret amid abuse and questioning.

This is the scene that should have happened.

  No?

As reporters were still trying to ask further questions, Feng Shuyong indicated that the press conference was completely over.

Give the hero the final show and final curtain call performance.

This scene.

Feng Shuyong feels.

This is the Chinese track and field that I want.

Of course, what blinded all the reporters and him was...

The next second after the press conference was announced to be over.

Su Shen took out a bag of potato chips from behind him.

  He opened his mouth and said:

"Brother Xiang."

“Spicy crawfish chips.”

“A new flavor.”

"How about giving it a try?"

Liu Xiang took a look.

I was stunned for half a second.

He also laughed and took the chips.

In full view.

Tear apart with both hands.

Then he took out a piece and put it in his mouth.

I chewed it with a crunchy sound.

ps: I hope that Brother Xiang’s farewell here can make everyone feel a little relieved.

The rest of the way.

It was Su Shen who left on his own!

  What height will it reach?

What's the new spark?

Please see the sequel...
