The opening of the Paris Olympics, China's two gold medals on the first day sparked heated discussions
In the scorching summer, the world sports event is coming again! The Paris 2024 Olympic Games kick off on July 27, and the opening ceremony has been moved on the Seine for the first time.
The athletes appeared on a boat and felt like they were watching a travel show. But then again, the Chinese team won two gold medals on the first day, which is quite a good start! But don't be too happy, after all, this is just the beginning, and there are still a lot of games ahead.
An Olympic feast on the Seine
To be honest, this opening ceremony was really fresh. I used to do it in the stadium, but this time it's better to move it directly to the Seine. Can you believe it?
The athletes swim up and down the river in boats, like dragon boats. But if you think about it, it's quite France, romantic and chic.
At the opening ceremony, athletes from all over the world wore a variety of national costumes and waved on the boat, and the scene was quite spectacular. The red uniforms of the Chinese team are particularly eye-catching on the river, and I can't help but be enthusiastic when I see me, a Chinese.
But seriously, is it safe this way? What if someone gets seasick or accidentally falls into the water? I hope the organizing committee will consider it thoroughly.
The culmination of the opening ceremony was the ignition ceremony. The torchbearers paddled their boats slowly towards the Eiffel Tower. When the Olympic flame was lit, the whole of Paris was boiling. Fireworks burst into the night sky, illuminating the Seine and the Eiffel Tower, and the beauty is breathtaking. But I'm curious, will so many fireworks pollute the environment? After all, isn't everyone advocating environmental protection now?
The Chinese team's two golds on the first day, a good start or a flash in the pan?
On the first day of the Olympic Games, the Chinese team won two gold medals, which was a really good start. Shooting the 10m air rifle mixed team and the diving women's double 3m springboard, these two events we have always been good at. Huang Yuting and Sheng Lihao performed well in the shooting competition and won the gold medal steadily. In terms of diving, the cooperation between Chang Yani and Chen Yiwen is also quite tacit, and the splash is almost lost by them.
Don't get too excited, though. This is just the beginning, and there are still a lot of games ahead. And you look at the data of previous Olympic Games: in the 2008 Beijing Olympics, we won 48 gold medals, ranking first; London 2012 Olympic Games 39 gold medals, ranked second; Rio 2016 26 gold medals, ranked third; With 38 gold medals at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics, it is back in second place. This trend doesn't look good, why do you feel like you've been stumbling?
Besides, the United States media predicts that we can win less than 36 gold medals this time. Although the words of the United States media cannot be fully believed, but after all, people are professional, and there is still some basis, right? Whether we can exceed this number is really a question mark.
Accidents and controversies, the Olympic stadium is full of gunsmoke
Then again, how can there be no surprises in the Olympics? This year is no exception. Our Olympic champion Sun Yiwen stopped in the round of 32 in the women's epee competition, which is really a big surprise. I thought she could defend her title, but she was out so early. Some people say it's the penalty that's wrong, but who knows? Anyway, I can't understand the rules of epee.
Also, I heard that our team encountered some equipment testing and doping testing problems before the game. This incident made a big fuss, and it spread on the Internet. Although it turned out to be a false alarm in the end, this kind of thing always makes people feel unsure. Do you think someone wants to make a small move? But then again, it's good to be strict with this kind of inspection, at least to ensure the fairness of the game.
Beyond the Olympics, how far is the dream of a sports power?
To be honest, seeing the performance of the Chinese team in the Olympic Games, I was thinking, how far are we from a sports powerhouse? Although we are really good at some sports, such as table tennis, diving, weightlifting, etc., we still don't seem to be good at football and basketball, which everyone loves to watch.
If you look at the United States team, they are at the top level in basketball, swimming, and track and field. The Japan team has also made rapid progress in football over the years. On the other hand, we still seem to be those traditional advantage projects. I wondered, when will we be able to wrestle with others in sports such as football and basketball?
But then again, it's not just about the Olympic results that are a sports powerhouse. Mass sports are also important. In recent years, I've seen more and more people around me who like to exercise, which is a good sign. I hope that in the future, we will not only be enthusiastic when watching the Olympics, but also exercise more.
Conclusion: The Olympic spirit never stops
The Paris Olympics have just begun, and there are many exciting competitions ahead of us. Although some people say that the Olympics are too commercialized now, I think the Olympic spirit is still there. It's really touching to see the athletes fighting for their dreams.
No matter how many gold medals the Chinese team can win in the end, I think the important thing is our progress in sports. I hope that through this Olympic Games, more people can fall in love with sports and contribute to our sports career. After all, isn't the Olympic spirit about going faster, higher, and stronger? Let's work together to cheer for Chinese sports!
