Chapter 226: Expedition to London (3 in 1)

The punishment in eastern Zhejiang Province is, to some extent, a reluctant move under the pressure of public opinion, but the unprecedented practice of the national swimming team has told the world a message: Tang Hao, don’t mess with it, Wang Shun, etc. People don't know this, they provoke it, and this is the consequence.
After the announcement of the national swimming team, many senior sportsmen also gave their own judgments.
Yang Ying: Because others have the ability to win cards, they are going to wantonly slander? Instead of training hard to catch up? What a wrong value this is, but he exists among our excellent athletes! Applying a popular sentence on the Internet, I am terrified!
Liang Hongda: Competition is not just about sports. It exists in every corner of the society. How to properly handle this kind of competition is something that every athlete needs to look at and watch.
Yang Jian: We have been talking about education issues. In fact, our athletes are beyond the ability, and the cultivation of their qualities is relatively lacking, resulting in many distorted values. This is a status quo that needs to be valued. The good news is that whether it is Zhejiang The Eastern Provincial Team or the National Team have made a very good position in front of such things. Blessed by the disaster, I believe that the team that went to London this year will be more united than before.
...
The departure of Wang Shun and others did not bring a sprint to East Zhejiang Province, but instead further stimulated other players.
In the 4X100m medley competition on the last day, East Zhejiang Province played well under the leadership of Tang Hao, not only won the gold medal of the project, but also broke the national record of the project in one fell swoop. The performance of this championship ended with a happy ending.
In this championship, Tang Hao won 10 gold alone, and Sun Yang also performed well in freestyle. He won a total of 5 gold medals in all freestyle events except 50 meters and 100 meters. The performance of these two people is already amazing enough. In addition to other players, East Zhejiang Province won the first place in the competition team with an absolute advantage of 25 gold medals in this championship.
This competition also further consolidated the leadership of the Zhejiang Provincial Team in the national team.
Time is flying fast, and soon after the Shaoxing Championships are over, the schedule of the Olympic Games is also hot.
Tang Hao also completed his final preparations before the first Olympic Games.
In addition to archery and boxing, which are two must-have items for the 60 kg class, swimming events were also selected according to the schedule.
In the freestyle, Tang Hao gave up 1500m and 50m, and signed up for 4 items of 100m, 200m, 4X100 and 4X200 freestyle relays.
Breaststroke, butterfly stroke, 100m and 200m events are all registered.
Backstroke registered 100 meters.
In addition, he also signed up for the 200m medley and 4X100m medley relay.
In the championship game, he won 10 gold and got 10 Olympic tickets. However, for these projects, he only signed up for 7 of them. There are 3 projects because of his abandonment. At the same time, the third The name has also reached the Olympic A standard, and they automatically qualify for the Olympics.
Inside, there is Hao Yun in the 200-meter medley.
However, ironically, because of the permanent removal of the national team, Hao Yun is naturally impossible to get the opportunity to go to London.
The London Olympic Games is the 30th Olympic Games after the Kyoto Olympic Games. This is the third time that London has obtained the qualification to host the Olympic Games. The last time was in 1948. The Olympic flame was ignited in the city again after 63 years. .
On July 24th, Kyoto time, Tang Hao, as the first athlete in history to have three major events at the same time, was on a plane to London with his national teammates.
This is also the second time Tang Hao has stepped into the city after the last London commercial.
Compared with the excitement and expectation of other teammates, he seemed calm and calm.
After an 11-hour long-distance flight, a plane carrying Chinese athletes landed at Heathrow Airport in London, England.
Tang Hao was with his national swimming teammates. After getting off the plane, he chatted with Sun Yang and Xu Jia while walking.
Going out of the exit, they looked up and saw nearly a hundred Chinese Americans holding signs at the door to welcome them.
"Look, your fans are here to pick you up." Sun Yang saw Tang Hao at the door and turned to smile and said to Tang Hao.
"No, our fans." Tang Hao said with a smile.
After several people went out, cheers and screams soon came over there.
"Tang Hao! Tang Hao!" As we approached, fans shouted excitedly there.
"Little Aries! Little Aries!" A few fans were shouting Sun Yang's name.
Tang Hao nudged Sun Yang a little at this time, meaning I was right.
Sun Yang shook his head with a smile, and then went up with Tang Hao to greet and sign his fans.
After signing, Tang Hao and Sun Yang followed the others to the door.
But as soon as he walked in the door, he heard the noise outside.
"Boycott the Olympics! Refuse to waste!"
At the door, there were more than a hundred people surrounding it, holding a sign high, and constantly shouting protest slogans in his mouth.
Opposite them, the riot police held up their shields and confronted them.
Both Xu Jiayu and Sun Yang froze for a moment. Obviously, they did not expect to encounter this scene.
Although there was news before that London was not fully prepared for the Olympics, the scene of direct boycott in front of them undoubtedly gave them a head start.
Tang Hao didn't change his expression much. In the memory of the previous life, there were many criticisms in the London Olympics. Although the scene before him was a little unexpected, it was not impossible.
The taxi also seemed to be on strike, but this did not affect them much. The Olympic Committee had a special bus to pick them up and they were quickly picked up.
"Look, Buckingham Palace!" Fu Yuanhui yelled outside the car not long after the car drove.
This shout quickly attracted the attention of some people in the car and turned around to discuss it.
For most athletes, this is the first time they have visited the United Kingdom and the first time they have seen Buckingham Palace. They were quickly shocked by the majestic appearance of the building.
"I heard that this is the palace of the Queen of England. I don't know if the Queen of England will go to the scene during the opening ceremony." Tang Yi turned back and said.
"You think too much. The Queen is so old, how could it be possible to go to the scene, but Prince William is possible!" Zhao Jing said.
"The prince is very handsome. If I can see Prince William at the opening ceremony, there will be no regrets!" Lu Ying in the back row said with an idiot.
"Cut, what is good about the prince, it's not as good as our Tang Hao." Fu Yuanhui snorted.
"Yuanhui, when did Tang become your family?" Xu Jiayu said with a smile.
"Huh~ It seems that our Yuanhui is secretly in love with Tang Hao~" Zhao Jing coaxed beside him.
"Our family, our family, aren't we all a family?" Fu Yuanhui followed.
"Look, look, blush!" Zhao Jing continued to coax.
Tang Hao smiled and shook his head bitterly. This group of people seemed really excited when they arrived in London.
At this moment, the bus suddenly slowed down and then stopped.
Tang Hao turned his head and looked out the window. On the road in front, a group of people came and walked with mighty people. They held a sign high and opposed the Olympics. The battle was much larger than the plane exit.
"It seems that the situation is worse than expected." Wu Peng, sitting on the right side of Tang Hao, said.
"British people have a different understanding of the Olympics." Tang Hao nodded.
Britain is hosting the Olympic Games for the third time. For them, the Olympic Games are not so new. This is the biggest difference from the Kyoto Olympic Games. For most British people, they are not like sports like their Prince William. They just want to get better treatment and income. As for the Olympics, this kind of thing that they think is a waste of money and hard work, they naturally want to oppose it.
The parade passed quickly, and riot police followed them all the way, and they didn't seem to dare to do excessive actions.
The bus restarted again, and after more than half an hour's drive, after passing Big Ben, they finally arrived at the Olympic Village.
Safely resisted, most athletes were relieved. In this battle outside, I was really afraid of something going wrong halfway.
Under the coach, they entered the Olympic Village under the leadership of the team leader.
At this time, there are only two days left before the opening of the Olympic Games. People from more than half of the countries have already come to London. After entering the Olympic Village, they can see all kinds of people.
This is the charm of the Olympic Village.
Although there are other global international events, the only thing that really builds a place for a competition is the Olympics.
In this "village", athletes from all countries can communicate with each other and know each other, reflecting the spirit of unity in the Olympics.
Along the way, Tang Hao also met several acquaintances.
"Hi, Don!"
The first person I met was Ukrainian Eschenko, who was "taken into" the Olympics by Tang Hao. Seeing Tang Hao is like seeing an old friend who hasn't seen him for many years. The group photo was very exciting.
In addition to Estchenko, Tang Hao also saw Phelps and Rochet.
"Phelps!" Many players looked very excited when they saw Flying Fish walking towards them with a smile.
"Hi, Tang, see you again." Since Shanghai World Championships, Phelps was very impressed with Tang Hao, when he saw him, he came over and greeted him.
"Hey, Michael." Tang Hao also greeted with a smile.
Phelps came up and gave him a hug and said, "I heard that you signed up for the full swimming pose, which is really incredible!"
"Fortunately, I have all qualified for the competition." Tang Hao said with a smile.
"Yes, you are great, but at the Olympics, this is my home." Phelps seemed confident, and he fancied the 14th Olympic gold. When he met Tang Hao, an Olympic rookie, he did have enough confidence.
"Look at it." Tang Hao didn't say much.
"Look forward to playing against you." Phelps said with a smile at last, and left with Rochet.
Although Phelps has a good attitude towards Tang Hao, but it is limited to this. It really came to the field. For the national and personal honor, no one will be soft-hearted.
The division of residence in the Olympic Village is also based on the country. The Chinese team members all live on one floor.
The residence of the South Korean team happens to be near the Chinese team.
Coincidentally, when Tang Hao and the swim team players walked in, the Korean archery team players came right here.
Unlike the Youth Olympic Games and the Asian Games, the Korean archery team excludes their top players this time.
Wu Zhenxuan, Lin Dongxian, and Jin Jinmin are the three strongest shooters in Korea. Their only goal in participating in this tournament is to continue to win the team and individual championships.
In particular, Lin Dongxian, in the past two years after the Asian Games, furiously attracted gold in large and small events, and his strength reached a new peak.
This time at the Olympic Games, he will definitely revenge on the defeat of the Asian Games.
As the two teams passed by, Lin Dongxian and Wu Zhenxu around him were constantly talking about something, obviously noticing Tang Hao.
On the floor, after the leaders of the teams explained the players' precautions, they assigned their own rooms.
Tang Hao got the room number and went up with a backpack on his back.
Xu Jiayu and Shi Yang were very powerful. They dragged their suitcases. They came over to help him get his luggage.
After experiencing the document incident, Tang Hao's status as the "big brother" of the national swimming team has become unshakable.
Entering the room, Xu Jiayu and Shi Yang couldn't help but slurred before putting down their luggage.
"What a university dormitory!"
A room of less than ten square meters, a white wall, a bed, a wardrobe, a bedside table and a small square table are all the configurations in the room.
It is better to say that it is a university dormitory, which is basically a small compartment in the fourth ring of Beijing!
And the bed, looking at only about one meter seven, even Tang Hao, lying on the whole foot is outside the bed.
"Wouldn't it be so miserable? Will there be a problem with this room?" Xu Jiayu said bitterly. His height was 1.84 meters. He was lying on the bed, not only his feet, but even his calves. outside.
"It should be the same." Tang Hao frowned and said that although he was prepared in his heart, he was still somewhat surprised to see such a bed.
"Yes, I have to take a look, and leave, Shi Yang." Xu Jiayu said and then left Shi Yang.
After a while, there was a painful cry in the passage.
Needless to say, this must have been Xu Jiayu's.
Throwing the bag on the bed, Tang Hao turned and left the room.
Every building has an administrator. When they came in, they asked the administrator for the key. At that time, there were already several leaders of the national team there, and Song Xiaocheng, the head coach of the national swimming team, was also there. inside.
Everyone on the swimming team is very big, and indeed, few people can sleep in this bed.
Tang Hao was originally prepared to negotiate. After seeing this, he didn't think much about it. He turned to go outside and went shopping first.
The Olympic Village is mainly provided for athletes, but in fact, in addition to the residence, there are other supporting facilities.
Tang Hao saw a shopping street within two steps, with a distinctive name, called Coubertin Street.
Coubertin was the "father of the Olympics". The modern Olympics was proudly redeveloped under his impetus. The name of the street is to create an Olympic atmosphere.
When Tang Hao moved forward, he just met Zou Shiming.
"You also come to buy things?" Zou Shiming walked over and said with a smile.
"Turn around, the bed can't sleep." Tang Hao nodded.
"The environment this time is really a bit worse." Zou Shiming has experienced three Olympics, and the experience should be the deepest.
"It should be an extra bed." Tang Hao nodded and said.
"Well, leave this alone. I heard that there is a pool table on the other side of the theater, which is also idle. Let's play with that." Zou Shiming suggested.
Tang Hao nodded, because of the diet control of athletes, most of the items sold on this street are daily necessities, and there is nothing to shop around.
Following Zou Shiming, they passed through Victory Park and Ulysses Square and finally reached the place.
The Shakespeare International Theatre, a place for the athletes to entertain in the Olympic Village.
They walked in through the gate and entered a small movie theater. There were many athletes wandering among them. There were many men and women who were chatting. Many men and women were dressed in different skin colors and different colors. They could be seen as athletes from different countries.
Passing through the cinema, around the corner, Tang Hao noticed that a Vending Machine was hanging on the wall with the words "Free" written on it.
Going further, it turned out to be a computer gaming area similar to an internet cafe.
Compared to movie theaters, there are fewer people here.
Athletes are usually tired enough for training. It is reasonable to watch a movie and relax. Most people do not have the energy to play games.
Going further, I saw the same vending machine around the corner.
Thinking of the male and female athletes outside the cinema, he seemed to understand something.
Athletes spend most of their time in training and competitions, and rarely have the opportunity to encounter the opposite sex. In the Olympics, under the loneliness of each other, it seems normal to play a free cannon. The Olympic Committee seems to have considered this long ago, so it was set. These vending machines.
After passing through this aisle, they finally reached the place where the pool table was.
But when they entered, they were stunned.
There is indeed a pool table, but at a glance, you can count the number of pool tables with your fingers.
No more, no less than 10 pool tables.
Except for the few local men’s national teams in the American men’s basketball team who live in hotels outside, most of the national teams are in the Olympic Village. There are only 10 billiard tables.
This quantity configuration really matches the bed of the residence, and some of them match.
But after watching them for a while, they found out that there were two people in the archery team, Ning Ze and Qiu Tian.
"Let's go and fight the table." Tang Hao walked over as he said.
"Brother Tang!" Qiu Tian shouted excitedly when he saw Tang Hao coming and stood beside him.
"Have you come early?" Tang Hao said with a smile.
"You should come with us. We arrived yesterday. Knowing that it was crowded, we came early." Ning Ze put down the pole at this time and stood up.
"Then we did not come late, did you not occupy the table." Tang Hao said with a smile.
"Hey, Brother Tang, you've played for a long time." Qiu Tian handed the pole at this time.
"No, you play two games first. I and Old Zou will sit together for a while. It didn't take long before we got off the plane." Tang Hao said and Zou Shiming walked to the side stool and sat down.
After sitting down, he looked around for a while, and he suddenly noticed that the people playing here, except for their table, were all European faces.
At this moment, a few of the people at the next table stopped playing, and went out laughing and talking.
Surprisingly, as soon as they left, the staff came over and put up a "failure repair" sign on the pool table.
"Brother Tang, come, it's your turn to play." Qiu Tian said to put down the pole at this time.
Zou Shiming looked at Tang Hao.
"You go to play for a while, I will wait for a while." Tang Hao said.
Zou Shiming nodded, followed up and replaced Qiu Tian, ​​and the two old guys played together with their opponents.
"Curved." Qiu Tian said at this moment.
Tang Hao looked up and saw that there were many athletes coming in at the door. There were table bends, as well as those from South Korea and island countries.
They talk and laugh, they should know each other.
They looked around for a while and soon noticed the empty pool table, then came straight.
They approached and saw the "Fault Repair" sign. After a while, some people noticed Tang Hao and they did not dare to come and ask. Some people went to the staff. After some communication, they walked away with disappointment. .
After a while, a group of French people came in. They were very happy to see the empty pool table. After coming over, without asking, they put the repaired sign on the ground and started to play.
The staff there noticed, still talking and laughing, and nothing happened.
He smiled and seemed to guess what.
"Brother Tang, these people are disgusting." Qiu Tian whispered at this time.
Tang Hao turned his head.
"There is nothing wrong with the table, but it is not for the people of Asia and Africa." Qiu Tian said in a low voice.
Tang Hao nodded.
Eighteen out of ten people who play billiards here are Europeans, which is strange. Now, after seeing such a show, it is obviously the intention of the organizer.
"I hope there is no such kind of game." Tang Hao said meaningfully.
After coming out of the Shakespeare International Theatre, they went to the Olympic restaurant together.
Like other things they have seen in the Olympic Village, the diet is quite simple.
After eating hastily, they went back to their rooms.
When I went back, I just came across Xu Jiayu and Shi Yang and chatted a few words to know that the bed thing has been solved, and lengthened the needy ones. Although he was not there, the team had already solved it for him.
The problem with the bed was resolved. This was the best news. He went back to the room and took a shower~EbookFREE.me~ He just lay down and went to bed.
The next day, the other athletes were preparing for the game, but Tang Hao, Qiu Tian, ​​and Ning Ze set foot on the field the day before.
Shooting and archery are the earliest items to determine the gold medal in the past, and this one is also an exception. Although the finals are after the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the qualifying matches are all held on the first day.
This is also a typical Olympic characteristic.
Perhaps with the lessons of the Asian Games, the Koreans were surprisingly low-key in this competition.
But such a low profile has brought another kind of silent pressure.
In the personal qualifying match held in the morning, the performance of South Korean Lin Dongxian shocked everyone present, 72 arrows, he even shot a world record of 699!
