Chapter 1186 Olympic Countdown (rd update, please subscribe)
"bell……"

As soon as the alarm rang, Zhao Minghui poked her head out from under the towel, reached out to turn off the alarm, got up quickly, brushed her teeth while walking to her sister's room, and woke up her sister Zhao Mingzhen.

"Mingzhen, Mingzhen, hurry up, get up."

After washing up, I turned on the radio and listened to the morning English news on the radio station. While listening to the news, I went to the kitchen, where my mother had already prepared breakfast.

As for my father, although he is the boss of the business, he went out early in the morning. As a boss, he also does many things personally.

As for my eldest brother, there is no need to call him. He must be in the school library now, preparing for the joint entrance examination. For him, who is determined to get into Nanyang Daan Business School, nothing is more important than reading and studying.

Soon, the younger sisters and brothers came out of the room and saw breakfast on the table. Since the eldest brother was not there, Zhao Minghui, as the eldest sister, immediately prepared breakfast for them. Each of them had a cup of milk, an egg, and there were also meat buns and spicy soup on the table. They were from Kaifeng, Henan Province, so they were naturally used to such breakfast.

After her younger brothers and sisters sat down, Zhao Minghui smiled with satisfaction.

Zhao Minghui ate while listening to the radio and finished quickly, while her little sister was still eating eggs slowly beside her.

"Mingzhen, you are already seven years old. The school bus will be here soon. Eat quickly so you don't get late again."

"I understand, sister."

Under the urging of her elder sister, Zhao Mingzhen ate faster. After finishing her meal, she simply washed up before putting on her school uniform and walking to the school bus stop with her elder sister. On the way, Zhao Mingzhen, who was following her elder sister, looked at her and said:

"Big sister, I heard that Sister Roland is going to participate in the Olympics as a placard bearer. She has been training recently, right?"

"right,"

Zhao Minghui looked towards another house not far away.

"Really? Hold up that country's sign."

"Rhodesia."

"Rhodesia? What country is that?"

"It's a country in Africa. By the way, I've also signed up to be a volunteer at the Olympics."

"Be a volunteer? Sister, weren't you chosen as the sign-bearing lady?"

"That's because I'm only thirteen, and the sign girls have to be over sixteen."

Zhao Mingzhen asked again:
“Then why can you volunteer?”

Faced with her sister's question, Zhao Minghui did not answer, but said directly:
"Anyway, I'm just a volunteer. As long as I'm over 12 years old, I'll have to go for training in the next few days!"

While the two sisters were chatting, they had already arrived at the school bus stop. Before they arrived, the boys waiting for the bus became nervous and many of them even forgot to speak. After all, the Zhao sisters were not only famous beauties in the community, but also school beauties who looked like twins.

I don’t know how many teenage boys’ hearts were stirred by this. They straightened their chests and even stroked their hair with their hands, as if they could come up with some kind of hairstyle.

When the two sisters came over, they would always look at the elder sister quietly. The youngsters' eyes were filled with a kind of ignorant youthful vitality, but that was all.

However, Zhao Minghui, who was wearing headphones, did not notice these things. She was originally listening to the English news, and then she sang the Olympic theme song along with the radio. Of course, she sang in Mandarin.

There are two versions of the Olympic theme song, Mandarin and English. The latter is more effective in international promotion.

For her, nothing was more important than the Olympics, and as for the boys' looks...she simply ignored them.

Soon, the school bus arrived. Although it was a school bus, the five Olympic rings were also printed on its yellow body.

This was the case in Nanyang in the 1960s. The colors of the Olympics were everywhere. Every place and every corner, for this country, the Olympics had a different meaning. After the Soviet delegation arrived, delegations from various countries also arrived in Chang'an one after another. And the news broadcast on TV was basically all about the Olympics. As time entered the countdown, all the people participating in the Olympics were making final preparations for the Olympics.

On the fourth day before the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, several latest F-2 fighters were lined up at the Taiping Air Force Base. Unlike ordinary fighters, the emblem of these fighters is "Suzaku". This is the famous "Suzaku" flight demonstration team.

Six years ago, in order to show its presence to the world and of course to show off its military power, and to showcase the advanced performance of the F-1B jet fighter and the flight training level of its pilots, the Air Force decided to establish an Air Force flight demonstration team and officially named it "Suzaku". In the past six years, the "Suzaku" flight demonstration team has not only performed flight demonstrations at defense equipment exhibitions many times, but also performed abroad many times. The gorgeous flight performances have made the "Suzaku" flight demonstration team famous all over the world.

The F2 fighter is the most advanced twice the speed of sound fighter in Southeast Asia. Although it was just put into service at the beginning of the year, the military still provided 2 F6 fighters to the "Suzaku" flight demonstration team for flight performances - flight performances at the Olympics.

The Air Force is not only doing this to cooperate with the Olympics, but also to show off its strength and show the world this new fighter. After all, this is the third fighter in the world to be officially put into service after the MiG-21 and F104 fighters. Although it was publicly unveiled at the Changan Defense Equipment Exhibition last year, this time it is the Olympics and they will perform in front of the whole world.

To this end, the five pilots of the "Suzaku" flight demonstration team have performed many performances. They fly for several hours every day to ensure the smooth progress of the flight show.

“First, when we enter the venue…”

Before the training began, captain Xu Tianlin once again emphasized the key points of their approach. As a pilot with 6000 hours of flying experience, he had extremely high requirements for every detail of the performance. After repeatedly emphasizing the key points, the pilots boarded the planes, and five F2 fighters roared into the sky one after another.

The members of the performance team on the ground looked at the fighter jets in the sky, their eyes full of anticipation, looking forward to their performance at the opening ceremony.

Every minute, every moment, all participants are preparing.

Even Li Yixuan, the eldest son, was preparing... No, he no longer needed to prepare. On the fourth to last day, as an Olympic volunteer, he stood on the street wearing a volunteer uniform, providing help to those in need.

In Chang'an, not many people knew that he was the eldest son of His Excellency. The photos of him that were released to the public were when he was 2 years old, and no more photos were released since then. In the past few years, he had been educated in ordinary schools, just like ordinary children.

He attends classes five days a week, joins the Boy Scouts, attends Boy Scout training during holidays, participates in charity events, and so on. Now, like many people, he has stepped out to serve as a volunteer. In Chang'an, there are many such volunteers. They are of different ages and identities, and everyone is making their own efforts to experience this grand event.

On the morning of October 10, all the athletes, coaches and related staff of the Nanyang delegation, totaling more than 14 people, left the Army Kinabalu Training Base. This plateau training base has long become a secret weapon in the Nanyang sports community. Athletes, especially track and field athletes, conduct plateau training here to achieve better results.

These athletes came from all over Southeast Asia and had different occupations. Among them were students, teachers, doctors, soldiers, company employees, and workers, but there were no professional athletes - this was because according to the requirements of the Olympics, only non-professional athletes could participate in the Olympic Games.

According to the definition of "amateur principle" by Pierre de Coubertin, the father of Olympics, "amateur principle" is: "A person devotes everything to a competitive sport, gets rich by doing this sport, thus destroying the nobility of competitive sports, making muscles override spirit, and completely destroying human balance."

The "amateur principle" became an insurmountable bottom line. Some people were even stripped of their gold medals because of it, such as Thorpe, who won the gold medals in the men's pentathlon and decathlon at the 12th Olympics and was even called the greatest track and field athlete in the world at the time. But he was stripped of his championship the following year, as the US Olympic Committee accused him of charging $15 to play for an Indian school baseball team, which violated the amateur athlete rules.

The world was shocked and public opinion was in uproar. Thorpe ran around everywhere but had no place to complain. At the end of his life, he left a message to the world: "Give me back my gold medal!"
This is the characteristic of this era.

Therefore, there is no staff athlete in the Nanyang Olympic delegation who makes a living from sports, including Nanyang’s first Olympic champion, the 27-year-old Yang Wu, who is a high school physical education teacher and uses his spare time to train. The same is true for most other athletes.

In the past, they all went abroad to participate in the Olympic Games, but now, they are competing in their own country's Olympic Games. Everyone is looking forward to the upcoming games. They are eager to achieve better results and win glory for the country and themselves.

These athletes, whether they are of Chinese or European descent, generally share this idea.

As a veteran who had participated in two Games, Yang Wu seemed very calm. He would occasionally look out the car window. At this time, there were only four days left before the opening of the Olympics. Sports fans from all over the country and overseas countries and regions had gathered in Chang'an. On both sides of the streets of Chang'an, one could see Olympic flags and posters, as well as many foreigners of different skin colors, including even black people who were rarely seen in Southeast Asia.

“Finally, I get to compete in my own country!”

Yang Wu thought silently in his heart, he signed up for a marathon this year, can he win the gold medal?
The result is still unknown, but as long as we try our best, just like the song goes - I will work harder and touch the glory of the sky!

I want to become stronger. Isn't that what the Olympics are about?

Among the thousands of sports fans gathered outside the Olympic Village, many held up posters of Nanyang athletes, including Yang Wu. After he won the Olympic gold medal in Helsinki, he became famous overnight and became the most famous athlete in Nanyang, gaining many supporters. Of course, the championship also changed his life. For example, as the spokesperson of 361, he can get a lot of money every time, which is also the reason why he can train.

The athletes greeted the fans through the car windows, and the convoy slowly drove into the Olympic Village. At this time, more than 5,000 athletes had already moved into the Olympic Village, but representatives of some countries were unable to send delegations, such as Ethiopia, which was in turmoil, and Hyderabad and Kashmir, which had lost their country.

Of course, some national delegations were denied entry, such as the Iraqi delegation. Because Nanyang did not recognize the new Iraqi government, it refused to issue visas to them, which directly led to the delegation being unable to enter. Of course, there was also India, which was also denied entry because of its invasion of the princely state.

Olympics, some people say sports are not politics, but in fact they are politics!
