In the early morning of July 27, Beijing time, the opening ceremony of the 33rd Summer Olympic Games was held in Paris, and the four-year Olympic Games are coming. This is the first time in 100 years that Paris has hosted the Olympic Games. China sent a delegation of 716 athletes, including 405 athletes, which was the largest number of Olympic champions and the largest number of foreign athletes. At the opening ceremony, when the Chinese athletes wore Chinese red and held the national flag in their hands to parade on the Seine, the dazzling Chinese red was dazzling, inspiring and unforgettable. What was the status of the Chinese delegation? What are the highlights of the competition?
The cauldron of the Paris Olympic Games set up on a hot air balloon slowly rises into the sky, allowing the light of the Olympic flame to light up the night sky. The Paris Games have historically moved the Opening Ceremony to the Seine, the first time that the Opening Ceremony will not be held in a stadium. More than 200 delegations sailed about 6 kilometers from east to west along the Seine on more than 80 boats, arriving at the Place de la Trocadero on the other side of the Eiffel Tower.
The Chinese delegation came in 16th place at the entrance ceremony, and under the leadership of flag bearer table tennis player Ma Long and synchronized swimmer Feng Yu, they showcased the sassy and heroic posture and spirit of the Chinese athletes. The appearance of the Chinese delegation also ignited the enthusiasm of the Chinese overseas Chinese and the Chinese audience.
Under the influence of the atmosphere and the enthusiasm of the audience, the members of the Chinese delegation also had a strong sense of honor and pride in their hearts, and they collectively sang about the motherland and interacted with the Chinese audience. Chinese athletes will also carry these good wishes and strive for good results on the field.
During the Paris Olympics, Chinese elements can be seen in many places in Paris. Recently, a splendid drone and fireworks show was staged in Paris, with 1,100 drones forming a queue in the air, outlining the Olympic rings, Olympic torchbearers and other shapes, lighting up the night sky of Paris. These drones can present two performance forms at the same time: drone light show and drone mounted fireworks show. It was the enterprises from Shenzhen that participated in this performance. At the same time, this LED display application and service company from Shenzhen also appeared on both sides of the Seine River at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympic Games, providing ultra-high-definition display products and live broadcast support for the opening ceremony.
As soon as they stepped out of the aisle at Paris-Charles de Gaulle Airport, the enthusiastic staff greeted the reporters from China in Chinese. From the baggage claim signs to the airport, billboards about the city of Paris, about travel, and about food can be seen everywhere in Chinese. France was one of the first countries in Europe to incorporate Chinese into its national education system and the state set the curriculum, and Chinese was just the beginning of journalists' encounter with China at the Paris Olympics.
According to the statistics of the Paris Olympic Organizing Committee, 80% of the mascots of this Olympic Games are made in China. From the lazy sofa from Tongxiang enterprises, to the table tennis from Guangzhou enterprises, and then to the weightlifting equipment from Hebei enterprises, Made in China has once again been out of the circle in this Olympic Games with its advantages in technology, environmental protection and quality.
In addition to the above-mentioned equipment, there are many unique Chinese "intelligent" equipment. For example, the floor mats in the judo wrestling stadium have been basically laid. And these mats are from a company in Shandong, China. The surface of the mat looks ordinary, but it has actually been coated with a nano-scale anti-fouling and antibacterial coating, which not only allows the sweat dripping from the athlete to dry quickly, but also has an antibacterial effect, in addition, the inside of the mat is equipped with a pressure sensing device that the user can turn on according to the situation, providing data support for competition and training.
In the table tennis hall, table tennis tables manufactured by Shanghai enterprises are also being commissioned. One of the most striking features of the table is the variable lighting system with its own chip, which allows the staff to control the lights near the table through their mobile phones or remote controls, creating a unique atmosphere for the players on the field and after the game.
The surface process of the table has also been optimized with a special treatment of polymer, which makes the table bounce and friction better, and the staff told us that this is also the latest technology. A table allows "technology and romance" to meet.
It is not difficult to walk out of the arena and walk the streets of Paris to meet China. Open the food app, you can find everything from Shandong cuisine to Yanbang cuisine to Yunnan cuisine. Even if it's a mouthful of Sichuan's dandan noodles, you can reach the noodle restaurant within a three-minute walk from the landmark Arc de Triomphe. The Parisian guy making French pancakes by the Arc de Triomphe heard that the reporters were from China, and he spoke directly in Chinese.
As the hometown of Coubertin, the "father of the modern Olympic Games", Paris hosted two Olympic Games in the early 20th century, and when it returned to Paris after the 100th anniversary of the Olympic Games, China and France also ushered in the 60th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations. In the past few days, we have met China again and again inside and outside the Olympic stadium, allowing us to see not only the vitality of Sino-French exchanges, but also the charm of Chinese culture and development. It is this vitality and charm that has continuously watered the tree of friendship between China and France, and made the Olympic dream faster, higher, stronger and more united.
In this Paris Olympic Games, the Chinese delegation still has a lot to look forward to: first of all, from the perspective of the participating teams, the Chinese delegation sent a total of 405 athletes to this Olympic Games, including 42 Olympic champions, which is also the largest number of Olympic champions in the history of the Chinese delegation. The average age of the athletes is 25, with the oldest being 37-year-old race walking veteran Liu Hong, who is competing in her fifth Olympics. The youngest is 11-year-old skateboarder Zheng Haohao, who recently graduated from elementary school.
There are 32 major events and 329 minor events in this Olympic Games. The Chinese delegation will participate in 30 major events and 236 small events, which is also the largest number of overseas events for the Chinese delegation. China's participation in sports includes traditional Chinese sports such as diving, table tennis and weightlifting, as well as first-time sports such as break dancing and BMX. After arriving in Paris, all teams of the Chinese delegation began to adapt to the venue as soon as possible and tried to adjust to the best condition.
In terms of traditional advantageous projects, China will continue to challenge the limits and strive for perfection. However, there is also suspense in it, such as:
whether Ma Long, the flag bearer of the opening ceremony, can become the player with the most gold medals in China's Olympic history;
Can Wang Chuqin and Sun Yingsha win the Olympic mixed doubles championship for the Chinese team;
whether the diving "dream team" can win gold medals in 8 events for the first time.
These suspense will be revealed little by little. In addition, in the past three years of the Paris Olympic cycle, the Chinese army has added a lot of potential advantage events, such as the Paris Olympics new small event speed climbing, and then such as freestyle BMX, break dancing, etc., these in the Tokyo cycle, we do not even have the national team system of emerging sports, now Chinese athletes have a world-class level, in the Olympic Games in the trend of younger settings, China's competitive sports young talents are still at the forefront.
In the basic Olympic sports such as swimming and track and field, the Chinese team has made great progress in recent years and has gradually caught up with the pace of the world, and they are also looking forward to achieving new breakthroughs in the Paris Olympics. At the Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese swimmers won three gold medals, one for men, one for women, and one for relay. By the time of the Paris cycle, we had a lot of talent in the four projects of Butterfly, Frog, Frog and Self, but we also faced strong competition.
From the perspective of the schedule, in the past, many viewers would feel that the Chinese delegation was good at sports, such as shooting, gymnastics, table tennis, weightlifting, diving and other events, were arranged relatively high. Later in the Olympic calendar, there are fewer things to see for Chinese audiences. But in fact, since the last Tokyo Olympics, the schedule of the traditional competitive events of the Chinese delegation has been relatively scattered. This also allows Chinese audiences to have more flexible choices and a more relaxed time arrangement.
In terms of time difference, the time difference between Paris and Beijing is 6 hours. However, many of the finals of table tennis, badminton, shooting, diving, and weightlifting were scheduled to be held during prime times that were quite friendly to Chinese audiences. The Paris Olympics will not stay up late every day, but there may be surprises every day.
In this year's Paris Olympic Games, China Central Radio and Television, as the main broadcaster, will make full use of new technologies such as ultra-high definition, artificial intelligence, 5G and cloud platforms to carry out all-round coverage of the Olympic Games. At the same time, the main station will also undertake the production of international public signals for the four major events of badminton, table tennis, rock climbing and gymnastics for the Olympic Games, and 8K international public signal production for track and field competitions and the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games.
The 4K/8K ultra-high-definition OB truck that landed in the Olympic Games was independently developed and designed by the main station, and is currently the most powerful and flexible field OB truck system in the world. This touch of Chinese red has also become a beautiful scenery on the streets of Paris.
IOC President Thomas Bach thanked China Media Group for its meticulous preparations for the broadcast of the Olympic Games, especially in the application of 8K ultra-high definition and artificial intelligence empowerment, which opened up a new stage in the broadcast of the Olympic Games. President Bach wished the broadcast of the Paris Olympic Games a complete success, and said that the IOC will deepen comprehensive cooperation with China Media Group and continue to achieve a win-win situation.
Starting today and running until August 11, the Paris Olympics will last for 16 days, with the closing ceremony taking place in the early hours of August 12, Beijing time. China Central Radio and Television will also bring more than 7,000 games, more than 3,800 hours of game broadcasting, and more than 1,500 hours of professional commentary through the linkage of large and small screens, bringing vivid, authoritative and professional Olympic reports to hundreds of millions of viewers. Let us appreciate the demeanor of the Olympic athletes, feel the Olympic atmosphere of hard work and enterprising, friendly exchanges, and wish the Chinese delegation good results, and cheers for the Chinese team!
