The Strongest Chinese Legion Swears Athletes 639

On July 25th, members of the Chinese sports delegation took an oath at the oath mobilization meeting.

The Chinese delegation set up yesterday: "to add glory to life, to add glory to the Olympic Games, to win for the nation and to win glory for the motherland". Netizens wrote a poem for the athletes: "the gold medal is valuable, the silver price is also high." after the national lottery, no card is also a hero. "For the honor of the motherland, I will fight hard in the Beijing Olympic Games and strive for the first place."

Before the bright five-star red flag, in the solemn oath, the Chinese sports delegation who participated in the Beijing Olympic Games was set up in Beijing at 9 yesterday. There were 639 contestants. It not only created the largest number of Chinese Olympic Games, but also the largest delegation in the Olympic Games.

Besides Olympic athletes, the Chinese delegation also includes officials, coaches, doctors and so on. The total number is 1099, and the head of the delegation is Liu Peng, director general of the State Sports General Administration.

Tomorrow, the Chinese delegation will enter the Olympic Village and hold the flag raising ceremony.

The Chinese Olympic athletes from 31 provinces, municipalities and sports associations in the country will participate in all 28 major events, 38 sub items and 262 minor items in the Beijing Olympic Games, with an average age of 24.4 years.

Among them, 37 players participated in the Sydney Olympic Games. 165 athletes participated in the 2004 Athens Olympic Games. Diving athletes Guo Jingjing, shooter Tan Zongliang and basketball player Li Nan were already "three generations of senior officials" who participated in the Olympic Games consecutively.

The Chinese delegation has 28 foreign coaches from 16 countries and regions, covering 17 major items.

The number of athletes of the Chinese Olympic Legion exceeds that of the US delegation (596 people) and the Russian delegation (around 500 people). It is not only unprecedented in scale, but also more than twice the number of athletes who participated in the Olympic games than four years ago.

At the Athens Olympic Games four years ago, the Chinese delegation participated in 407 competitions. They competed in 26 major events and 203 minor events. The average age was 23.3 years old. Only 87 people participated in the Olympic Games.

By contrast, the number of Chinese Olympic athletes is 1/3 more than that of the previous Olympic Games.

The establishment of the Chinese Olympic Legion is obviously different from that of the past.

Athletes including Liu Xiang, Yao Ming and many Olympic champions, dressed in the Olympic Games opening ceremony with the national emblem, dressed in a huge national flag and sang the national anthem. Then, under the guidance of Liu Peng, they solemnly swear to the motherland and the people:

Unity and fraternity, fair competition, competition style, level of competition, respect for opponents, respect for referees, respect for audience, resolute opposition to doping, clean participation in the Olympic Games, sports achievement and spiritual civilization double harvest, to add glory to life, to add glory to the Olympic Games!

Win for the nation and glory for the motherland! "

In the past, the day of the founding of the Chinese Olympic Legion was also revealed at the time of the Chinese Olympic Legion.

But in the face of the media yesterday, the Chinese delegation was very low - tuning. It did not reveal any information about how many gold medals and final number of Chinese players could take, and the team's head coach did not make any predictions about the gold medal.

At the last Olympic Games in Athens, the Chinese Olympians won 32 gold medals, second in the gold medal list and third in the medal list.

Liu Xiang took the first row of the three rows of words, "better, better, I haven't hurt." in recent days, because the media could not find out, the news about Liu Xiang was almost "extinct".

How is the flying man?

What about state recovery?

Everybody is in a fog.

Yesterday, with the help of the founding of the Chinese Olympic delegation, the reporter had the chance to approach Liu Xiang and the people close to him and get some latest information about Liu Xiang.

Liu Xiang, dressed in a red suit, white trousers and white shoes, was seated in the first row with several Olympic champions, such as Yang Wei, Zhang Ning, Gao Gao and Zhu Qinan.

Using the rest time, the reporter greeted Liu Xiang.

Liu Xiang, Hello, how is your recovery recently?

"It's much better," Liu Xiang said with a smile.

"What's the matter with your leg injury?"

Is it really hurt, or does it hurt or hurt?

The reporter asked.

Liu Xiang answered very simply, "I am not hurt!"

It's time for the meeting to be held. The short interview with Liu Xiang ended here.

Liu Xiang's reply was simply surprising.

It was widely rumored that his muscles were hidden behind his thigh, which made Sun Haiping coach and Chinese track and field officials nervous.

Liu Xiang said he didn't tell the truth, sometimes he would "fudge" the media, so he knew the truth and interviewed other people.

Very clever, the reporter also caught Liu Xiang's teammate Shi Dongpeng.

"Big history, is Liu Xiang hurt?"

The reporter asked Shi Dongpeng.

"No, he is fine now."

Shi Dongpeng's answer is very simple.

How does he compare with the preceding stage?

Reporters pressed on to keep asking questions.

Sure, much better.

His training is normal.

We plan to conduct two tests internally before the Olympic Games. "

Shi Dongpeng is very real. Without asking, he said, "of course Liu Xiang is training with us, and the internal game is between us."

Shi Dongpeng learned from Liu Xiang that the state of Liu Xiang is much better than that of the preceding paragraph, which means Liu Xiang's current performance should be much better than that of the "good luck Beijing" test match of 13 seconds 18.

I don't want to be reconciled. I keep asking you to find Feng Shuyong, the head coach of the Chinese track and field team.

Without asking, the other side said, "as Robles continues to run out of good grades, Liu Xiang's burden is totally thrown to him."

How about Liu Xiang's leg injury?

Feng Shuyong said, "Liu Xiang is training very well now. He will go all out in the Olympic Games.

A few days ago, some German media said that if Liu Xiang failed, it would be China's failure. I strongly disagree with this statement.

The domestic media and the public should not give Liu Xiang too much pressure.

Liu Xiang is mentally normal now, but Liu Xiang is also a human being. It can't be without pressure.

Yao Ming, the second row in the seat, has been counted as "dead and bold, starving and cowardly". Can Chinese men's basketball team defeat Nowitzki's German team in the crucial battle of the Beijing Olympic group games?

Yao Ming's answer is: "everything is human."

Then he added, "die hard and starve to death."

At the founding meeting of the Chinese Olympic delegation yesterday, all members of the Chinese men's basketball team, including Yao Ming, also came to the scene.

Perhaps because of the slim hope of winning medals, most of the Chinese men's basketball team can only sit in a relatively backward position. Only Yao Ming has been in the second row, and next to him is the Olympic champion defending Chinese women's volleyball team.

When the Chinese delegation's athletes and officials rose to sing the national anthem and took the oath, Yao Ming's tall figure was particularly conspicuous.

During the meeting, Yao Ming and Feng Kun relaxed chatting.

During the Olympic Games, the Chinese women's volleyball team will be admitted to the Olympic village while the Chinese men's basketball team still lives in the State Sports General Administration Training Bureau, because it is close to the Wukesong Gymnasium in the basketball match venue.

This will be the third time that Yao Ming has been competing in the Olympic Games. His number of games is second only to his team-mates Li Nan.

"The first time I saw such a big flag, I really felt a shock."

The flag gave Yao Ming no glory, and there was pressure. "There are only two weeks left. The time is too tight."

Only concentrate on preparing for war, and strive for a match.

The list of Chinese men's basketball teams for the Beijing Olympic Games has also been officially announced. Zhang Kai and Ding Jinhui were "cut off" the final list of the 12 men.

Hu Jiah, deputy director of the basketball center, explained: Zhang Kai and Ding Jinhui were very serious in training and competition during the national team. After the Beijing Olympic Games, they will definitely return to the national team. This time they can not participate in the Olympic Games mainly because of the position considerations. After all, the national team's outside line is even less than the inside line, so they left Wang Lei and Zhang Qingpeng finally.
