As a post-95 generation, one of the phenomena that has had the biggest impact on me in the past two days is -
In this Paris Olympics, it is already the turn of the post-05 to take the lead!
News received throughout the day today includes, but is not limited to:
15-year-old surfer Yang Siqi advanced to the round of 16, setting a new Chinese record in this event;
Shooter Huang Yuting, 17, who had already won the gold medal in the mixed team competition, won the second place in the women's 10m air rifle this afternoon;
Sheng Lihao in 04 won the men's 10-meter air rifle gold medal again in the evening "just by doing dry rice".
16-year-old gymnast Zhang Yihan advanced to the women's team final with the team, and the children born in the 08 Olympic year are already competing in the new Olympics.
The signature move is a confident uphead and smile before the start of the game, and is praised by the audience as a proud and mischievous kitten.
Don't say it, it's exactly the same.
The most shocking thing is that the youngest athlete to compete in this year's Olympics, only 11 years old, is Zheng Haohao, an athlete from the Chinese skateboarding team.
I just graduated from elementary school in July this year, and I am not as big as a sports backpack, so I won the Olympic qualification in the qualifying round with my strength.
Mom proudly praised her for "our family tree starts with you", and when she was interviewed, she had a good attitude, she was not afraid at all, and said to the camera: "Little Olympics, easy to handle~"
There are even post-05 athletes who have "finished their work", and Cheng Yujie, a young swimmer in 05, is ready to pack up and return home after winning the bronze medal in the women's 4×100-meter freestyle relay on the first day of the Olympics.
Most of these post-05 athletes are still in school, and several of them still need to go to school to take cultural classes after the start of school.
Therefore, these young players are also called "the strongest summer workers in history" by netizens.
I still remember that during the Tokyo Olympics three years ago, Sun Yingsha, Wang Chuqin, Quan Hongchan and other post-00s and post-05s had just emerged and showed their style in the competition and entered the public eye.
At that time, many people's first impression of this group of young players was still a bit "young and old".
said that although they are still a little baby fat on their faces and look immature, their style, results, and performance have become quite mature and sophisticated, and they have a kind of stability as echelon successors.
When a large number of post-05 generations emerge in this year's Paris Olympics, everyone will focus on these young players, and they will find that they are not so "little adults", but more of a "child brother" and "child sister" temperament.
There is a sense of relaxation of a newborn calf, which is in stark contrast to the serious identity of the Olympic elite.
Let's take the highly discussed "Sister Atiao" Huang Yuting and "Brother Dry Rice" Sheng Lihao in the past two days, the two of them became famous because they won the first gold medal of the Paris Olympics and their amazing online names.
During the game, the two seemed to be indifferent by nature, highly calm, regardless of whether the results played in the process were good or bad, their expressions did not change, and the corners of their mouths did not move.
But as soon as he left the arena, the "childlike smell" on his body naturally came out.
In the post-match interview, a foreign reporter asked your team in English how long they had been preparing for the game, and the sentence was not complicated, and the two seemed to understand when the reporter asked the question, but they still waited for the translation.
Unexpectedly, the translation dropped the chain and translated the question into "how many people are in the team".
Sheng Lihao was shocked by this mistranslation and blurted out "What do you say".
In just three seconds, the expressions on his face rotated in surprise, doubt, thought, and disbelief, and the little brother couldn't hide anything on his face at all.
Huang Yuting also looked at Sheng Lihao with an embarrassed face, with "Brother, how should I go back?" written on her face.
But Sheng Lihao was still immersed in thinking about what the question just now was.
Funnily enough, in the end, they hesitated and answered the wrong question about the number of people in the group—31.
This time it was the foreign reporter's turn to be shocked, and he visibly showed his incredulity, asking a rhetorical question, "31?" ”
It is estimated that at this time, my inner thoughts are like: "I will be obedient, and I will become an Olympic champion in 30 days of training?" ”
In a previous interview, Sheng Lihao's coach commented that his mentality is still a bit like a child, but he also praised him in front of the camera for being "ruthless" and "focused" during the game.
Under normal circumstances, players are likely to politely express their gratitude and continue to work hard when they hear this kind of evaluation from the coach.
But "Brother Ganfan" happily commented on the professor: "I feel that the coach is more anxious".
Interview with him if he had any dreams, he said he forgot.
When asked what blessings he wanted to send to everyone, he said to live a good life.
Netizens also picked up his previous Weibo avatar today as a funny gun emoji, and there is a sense of beauty that his mental state is no longer in the mortal world.
makes people have to wonder if this kid's screen name of "just relying on dry food" will not be up early, just waiting for the day when he wins the gold medal.
Many athletes have been studying in sports schools since childhood, and their schedules are different from those of ordinary students, and there is sometimes a natural sense of distance between the two.
But a child like Huang Yuting, who is studying in a regular middle school, looks like an ordinary high school student when she is not training.
Looking at the daily life of her teachers and classmates, you will deeply feel that the young athletes who are burdened with the pressure of competition are still children in private.
After Huang Yuting won the championship, many classmates and friends sent photos with her, saying that after Huang Yuting won the Asian Championships last year, everyone asked her for autographs.
The signature posted is written in a horizontal notebook with a marker, and the handwriting is still a "primary school student font" stroke by stroke.
This time, Huang Yuting went to Paris to compete, and the school beat gongs and drums to organize the competition, and the audience was directly boiling at the moment of winning the gold, and a banner was hung up overnight to announce the surroundings.
I'm afraid that if it weren't for the start of school a month later, the first thing the principals and teachers would say when they saw people would be "How do you know that our school's Huang Yuting is an Olympic champion".
In this year's Olympic events, in addition to gymnastics and diving, which is a relative test of "children's skills", fourteen or fifteen years old is the dominant age of the event, many post-05s have gathered.
In addition, in recent years, such as break dancing, surfing, skateboarding, rock climbing, and other new sports, many children and sisters have emerged.
The reason behind it is also very easy to understand, the new project has not been developed in China for a long time, the participating members are relatively young, and the national team was only formed around 17 or 18 years.
Like the skateboarding mentioned above, in addition to 11-year-old Zheng Haohao this year, there is also a 14-year-old Cui Chenxi.
Having just won the fourth place in the women's street style, the medal is close at hand, which is the best result of Chinese skateboarding in the Olympics so far.
She is the little girl who shouted "Glory for the motherland, friends" in the video when she was a child, and she really did it this time.
After the game, the reporter asked Cui Chenxi if he liked the title of "child sister", and Cui Chenxi was shy for a while and then replied.
Vista sees the world
, like 570
Some of these new events are our first time competing at the Olympics, but the young players have already shown great potential.
Wu Peng, born in 02, has won many championships in Asian and world competitions in rock climbing.
His climbing speed made netizens scared, and he walked on the wall like a flat ground, no, to be precise, I couldn't walk as fast as him on flat ground.
was rated by netizens as "the person who needs to protect himself the most if the zombie breaks out".
Because I can't imagine how many safe houses he can climb with his bare hands to avoid humans if he becomes a zombie in a post-apocalyptic movie.
The break dancing event has not yet started, but Liu Qingyi, a contestant born in 05, has been identified as a favorite to watch in advance.
Because in 2022, she won the women's championship of the Outbreak 2022 Street Dance Competition, and she is the first world break dance championship won by a Chinese athlete.
And won the championship again in the women's break dancing competition of the Hangzhou Asian Games last year, blowing up the field with a flip that everyone expected, and the audience cheered.
Should I say it or not, this landing position is also a bit like a kitten emoji.
There are also sports that are not strong for the time being, but have already achieved very good and noteworthy results, such as surfing.
This is the first time that the Chinese team has qualified for the surfing competition, and the 15-year-old Yang Siqi went to Tahiti alone to compete, and today has already reached the round of 16.
The mainland is at a disadvantage in surfing, firstly because of the late participation in the sport in China, and secondly, because of the lack of top-level training conditions in the country.
For example, Tahiti, where the surfing competition is held, has one of the most dangerous waves in the world, but the wave conditions in China are not good.
"What kind of waves, what kind of waves of athletes are cultivated."
Under this premise, the newly established Chinese surfing team did not have great expectations for the Olympic qualification.
However, unexpectedly, Yang Siqi performed well and won the qualification.
Hailing from Liangshan, Sichuan, she had never seen the sea before being excavated for sailing training.
Yang Siqi's performance in the Olympic arena in the past few days has attracted the attention of many foreign media, not only because of her young age, but also because of her admirable bravery.
Surfing is highly affected by weather and sea conditions.
It is not a unified start by the referee blowing the whistle like swimming and running, but stipulates that within a certain period of time, the athlete's completion level, technical difficulty and other parameters are calculated.
This requires athletes to float on the surface of the sea with their surfboards in their hands, and then look for opportunities to rush to the waves again and again.
Yang Siqi caught almost every wave point she had time to rush up in the competition, even if it was a big wave with a high risk factor.
Don't think it's easy.
From the first point of view, some large pipe waves can be several stories high, so it takes guts and strategy to figure out what kind of scoring moves you want to make.
The height of the big pipe wave is terrifying, the red box is the size of a lifeboat, the yellow box is the size of a surfer, and the green box is the height of the wave
In the second round of qualifying, Yang Siqi still rushed forward to grab points in the last minutes of the game, and was praised by foreign commentators as "absolute warrior".
且因进步明显被评价为“ has been one of the quickest studies ever seen in the sport of surfing”。
Today, the official website of the Paris Olympics put her photo on the front page.
It is very gratifying that this year's "children's brothers and sisters" can see their pure enjoyment of sports.
Maybe it's because there's no trouble at a young age, or maybe it's because of the young age, the new project, and the overall public opinion atmosphere is more inclusive.
The new generation of athletes overall looks more lively and relaxed.
11-year-old skateboarder Zheng Haohao, CCTV went to interview her to film her training, during which she accidentally made a mistake in wrestling, she directly and smoothly where to wrestle, where to lie down and pose.
Wu Peng, a rock climber, smiled happily every time he was slowly lowered by the safety rope after the summit competition, as if he was sitting on a swing.
Gymnast Zhang Yihan went to Paris to compete, and by the way, he chased the star of United States gymnast Biles.
When her teammates said she could wear a jacket after the game, she stomped her feet on the spot and regretted that "I haven't taken a photo with Biles yet", probably wanting to wear a beautiful match suit to take a picture.
During the game, Zhang Yihan on the sidelines directly incarnated as a reaction on the spot.
Biles jumped out of the difficult moves, and she exclaimed "Wow" after taking a closer look at the movements.
Biles's mistake made her mouth twice as large as usual in shock, and she immediately applauded with excitement when she saw that the other party made up for it.
I can't imagine how big her applause can be at the scene, and she grinned hard for the child.
In fact, needless to say, we can also guess that no matter how lively these children and sisters are on the sidelines, no matter how they are named "geniuses", behind them will always be the pain of training that is difficult for outsiders.
And even if they are young, their own initiative and sense of honor to represent their country will put them under pressure to a greater or lesser extent.
Even if you can shield yourself from external influences, the pain of dealing with yourself will be a long-term proposition for every athlete.
Some time ago, I swiped a very distressing interview, Quan Hongchan, who is only 17 years old this year, has already said, "I was also young, but I can't get back to the feeling of being young."
I am worried that when I grow taller, I will not perform as well as my 13 or 14-year-old self.
These athletes must go through the pressure and labor pain, and it is difficult for us as onlookers to really help much.
Perhaps maintaining, accommodating, and praising their "childishness" is one of the few things that the outside world can do.
The praise of "child brother" and "child sister" is not to urge them to become older brothers and sisters and pick up heavy burdens, but to focus on "children".
It means bravery, trial and error, hesitation and recklessness, childlike innocence and immaturity.
It means infinite possibilities, and it means that the future is long.
