The European Championship is in full swing, and the Paris Olympics have also come to a new node - the countdown to 30 days.

Compared to the 100-day countdown, it is clear that more has changed in the past 70 days. The Olympic trials have been held successively, and the Olympic participation lists for each event have also been determined.

Taking the Chinese delegation as an example, there is a list of table tennis, swimming and other events, and these athletes who are about to go to Paris will also train or compete to make final preparations for the Olympic Games. Among them, the Chinese table tennis team's preparation is even more amazing.

At the same time, when the countdown to the Olympics is no longer based on "months" but "days", the Paris Olympic Organizing Committee has also ushered in the busiest days.

The rising water levels of the Seine, potential security issues, and the predictable lack of air conditioning in the heat of the Olympic Village all seem to send a message that it will not be easy to make the Paris Olympics a success.

01 The "big devils" of the past dynasties came to help, and the national table tennis preparation was well-intentioned

As the Olympic Games are getting closer and closer, the list of participants of the Chinese Olympic delegation has also been released one by one.

Up to now, the events that have been announced are: table tennis, badminton, swimming, diving, weightlifting, gymnastics, shooting...... Famous players such as Ma Long, Fan Zhendong, Sun Yingsha, Zhang Yufei, Ye Shiwen, Quan Hongchan and other celebrities will appear in Paris, and now, they are all training in closed places to make the final sprint for the upcoming Paris Olympics.

It is worth mentioning that the Chinese table tennis team, which is training in Chengdu, has ushered in "mysterious" celebrities one after another.

Zhang Yining, Deng Yaping, Wang Nan...... The "big devils" of national table tennis in the past dynasties have been invited to visit, with theme preaching, experience teaching, and guidance. In addition to the guidance of techniques and tactics, what is more important is the injection of spirit. Zhang Yining said, every time I pick up a racket, my belief is to fight for the championship; Deng Yaping said that it is not only necessary to "seriously study the opponent", but also to have the courage to "defeat yourself"; Wang Nan said that the more critical the last moment, the more confident we must be......

The national table tennis generals have also gained a lot in such "senior guidance". It is reported that there will be more Olympic champions in the future, who will go to the base to help the national table tennis. In addition, for example, on the men's team, retired athletes including Chen Qi and Fang Bo participated in the training camp and served as coaches and sparring partners.

With such meticulous preparations, the strength of generations of national table tennis, in order to prepare for the competition and achieve better results, the Chinese table tennis team is really well-intentioned. And the "Big Devil" invitation system makes the opponent even more red - just ask, in addition to the national table tennis, who can have so many "Big Devils"?

After talking about the advantage items, let's look at the three balls. Due to the poor performance of the Chinese army, we can only see the women's volleyball team and women's basketball team at the Paris Olympics.

Not long ago, the women's volleyball team won the ticket to the Paris Olympics with its excellent performance in the World Women's Volleyball League (9 wins and 3 losses). At present, the women's volleyball team is training in Zhangzhou, and the 25-member roster has also been announced. The Olympic grouping has also been released, and the women's volleyball team will face a big challenge with the European powerhouse Serbia, the defending champion United States and the host France.

Zhu Ting and other veterans all returned, and the women's volleyball team also played satisfactory results in the late stage of the sub-station competition. Head coach Cai Bin will eventually send which players to Paris, and what results the women's volleyball team will achieve after the Tokyo Olympics suffered Waterloo, all of which are worth looking forward to.

Unlike the women's volleyball team, which chose to train in a closed camp in the last month, the women's basketball team chose to train by competition.

From the end of May to the beginning of June, the women's basketball team has played several warm-up games in China, against Australia and Japan, to find problems and summarize; Now the women's basketball team has gone abroad, and has successively competed with Spain, Australia, France and other world powerhouses to further run in the team lineup. It is worth mentioning that these opponents are all top 10 teams in the world, and these high-level competitions are of great significance to the women's basketball team.

At the Paris Olympics, the women's basketball team was in a group with Spain, Serbia and Puerto Rico, and it was no big problem to qualify from the group.

02 From Sun Yang to Qiu's mother, those figures that can't be seen in Paris

With the release of a series of Olympic lists, it also means that there are some people that we will not be able to see in the Paris Olympics.

The first thing to say is Sun Yang.

Because of the ban, Sun Yang has missed the Tokyo Olympics three years ago. On May 28, Sun Yang ended his 4-year and 3-month ban and officially returned.

Although you are the first gold medalist of the Chinese men's swimming Olympics, Sun Yang, who failed to catch up with the domestic trials of the Paris Olympics, still failed to qualify for the Paris Olympics - on June 18, Sun Yang was not included in the list announced by the Aquatics Center of the General Administration of Sports of China, which also means that he has not participated in the two consecutive Olympic Games.

Sun Yang's studio then released a message, saying, "Persistence and love are Sun Yang's unchanging pursuits, and we will see you in the future." But considering Sun Yang will be 36 years old in four years, the chances of him making an appearance on the Olympic stage in the future are slim.

The other, a regrettable veteran, is Chusovitina.

She missed the Asian Gymnastics Championships due to an injury sustained while practicing floor exercise, and was unable to qualify for the Paris Olympics. Originally, she still had the opportunity to get a wild card, but in the end, the International Gymnastics Federation did not issue a wild card to her.

This also means that Chusovitina, a "living fossil of gymnastics" who has participated in eight Olympic Games, will not appear in the gymnastics arena of the Paris Olympics.

In addition, Yang Qian, the first gold medalist of the Chinese delegation at the Tokyo Olympics, fell early in the Paris Olympic cycle and finally missed the list; Misei Ito, who once won the mixed doubles championship at the Tokyo Olympics, also failed to get the Olympic quota for Japanese table tennis; and the Japanese star Kento Momota, who has long occupied the world No. 1 in badminton men's singles in the Tokyo cycle, announced his retirement after missing the Olympics......

In football, there are also superstars such as Messi and Mbappe, who will be absent from the Paris Olympics. Of course, given the place of the Olympics in the world of football, this is perfectly normal.

03 The Olympic Village without air conditioning, and delegations that need to bring their own air conditioning

The flame of the Paris Olympics arrived in Marseille, a port city in southern France, as early as May 8, and then began the relay of mainland France and overseas territories. At the moment, the relay continues until July 14, the day of the French National Day, when it arrives in the capital Paris and passes in and around Paris.

The torch has been passed on, but there are still many problems with the Paris Olympics.

The rehearsals for the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics were postponed due to the high water level of the Seine, which caused the water level to be too high due to continuous rainfall, and the latest test results also showed that the water quality of the Seine was not suitable for triathlon and open water swimming competitions. There are also possible security issues, with reports analyzing that the Paris Olympics are the most challenging physical security threats since the 2012 London Olympics.

The biggest problem is that the Paris Organising Committee did not have any plans to install air conditioning in the athletes' area when it designed the Olympic Village, with the aim of hosting the most environmentally friendly Games possible.

The French, who are naturally romantic, want to use natural resources and underground cooling systems to cool down and mitigate the effects of the scorching heat of July and August, just like the Louvre Museum. The water cooling system of the Olympic Village is designed to take water from the Seine to cool the air and circulate it through pipes, which can greatly reduce the overall temperature of the building.

Take a look, Laurent Michaud, the head of the Paris Olympic Village, gave a series of cooling measures:

1. Light-colored floor tiles laid indoors can enhance the reflection of light and avoid the heat island effect;

2. The underground cooling system pumps cold water into the apartment to achieve a temperature difference of "6-10 degrees";

3. Close the curtains during the day to keep the room cool;

4. The geographical location adjacent to the Seine River can enhance air circulation.

And in the eyes of most people, especially the athletes who will be staying in the Olympic Village, it is not the tenderness and romance of the Seine, but the arrogance and innocence of the French - we need to rest well in order to play well. You are low-carbon and environmentally friendly, and we are not far from being faster, higher, stronger, and farther.

By the way, historically, Paris will have 7-10 days between the end of July and August when the temperature exceeds 35 degrees, and it is even expected that this year will be hotter than last year, with extreme heat possibly above 40 degrees.

It's 40 degrees outside, and the water of the Seine can make the athletes feel cold?

As a result, the Olympic delegations of all countries have a solution - it doesn't matter if you don't provide low-carbon, we will bring it at our own expense. Considering the low cost of portable air conditioners and the ease of transportation and installation, delegations from the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Australia and Italy were ready to implement the Air Conditioning Program. If there is no accident, after the opening of the Olympic Village, there will be a vigorous installation of air conditioning.

But once this happens, won't the so-called low-carbon environmental protection become a slogan on the surface?
