Because her feet were cramped, you said it was not unlucky.
Finally, I handed over the gold medal I got.
You can imagine that as the super overlord of track and field since previous Olympic Games, Amei Camilligian Track and Field Team actually started the track and field competition for several days, and did not get a gold medal from this major event.
This was absolutely impossible before.
But unfortunately, this year, that's the case.
The United States has a lot of opinions on this matter. As a gold medalist in track and field, the United States has not had a single gold medal in track and field competition this time, which almost caused the American track and field team to be angry with the American people.
Look at the American newspapers these days, it says - day one, day two, day three, day four... When will we win a gold medal in track and field events?
There are also sharp words, and they start with it. This is definitely the worst Amika track and field team I have ever seen!
What made the American team feel that they were waiting hard and finally being lucky by the goddess of luck was that the female discus.
Yes, this women's discus, which has always been dominated by Eastern European players, finally broke the embarrassment of 0 gold medals for the American track and field team. This gold medal no one was optimistic about before the game also made the arrogant Americans suddenly ecstatic.
Even directly promoted Trafton's "Dream of American Heroes".
The Washington Post said———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Los Angeles Times ———In the end, it was this surprising miracle that saved the American track and field team from the dilemma of nowhere to retreat. Trafton used a long-lost women's discus gold medal to help American track and field get out of the bottleneck of gold grabbing, dispelling the suffocating doubts.
These titles are enough to show that the US team may not have thought about this gold medal. After all, since 1936, the Americans have never touched the gold medal again. This time, it was definitely an unexpected surprise.
But you have to think about it. If it weren't for the North Olympics, the US track and field team, even if Trafton won the gold medal, it wouldn't have been so popular with the whole nation.
This can only be said to be entirely dependent on "people who work together".
Trafton enjoyed the treatment that the whole people praised for in vain.
The Associated Press even posted that many people previously believed that after entering the track and field competition, the powerful American track and field team would surpass the host in gold medals. But the fact is just the opposite. After the last week of the Olympics, the US delegation was struggling.

Reuters -- "The Americans have always been like fishing with nets when winning gold medals on track and field, but this time in Beijing, they found that their men's catches have become whales."
The country has also begun to peel off the cocoons and sort out the rise of Jamaica's Fiery Man. The person interviewed is not someone else, but is a member of the "Su Shen Group", Liu Yang.
Liu Yang is now the first group of people who have begun to take the initiative to go to the grassroots level to promote advanced track and field theories in addition to studying on Ersha Island.
With some knowledge from Su Shen, he now knows more about these history than most traditional coaches in China. Su Shen told him that relying on experience and technology alone to do a good job in a country's sports is not enough.
The policies of the entire country are also very important.
He gave an example of Jamaica, which made Liu Yang feel bright.
Now he is taking advantage of the Olympics, and everyone is paying attention to the opportunities in track and field and starting to instill these things into the public.
"Why is Jamaica rich in flying people? In fact, whether it is technology or experience, their policies have also played a big role."
"Jamaican athletes who have made achievements in sports will have good returns. In 1911, Norman Manley was selected to participate in the 1912 Olympics. Although he failed to set the first 100-meter world record, he was the first Jamaican sports expert to receive a scholarship to study at Oxford University. The Norman Manley International Airport in Jamaica was named after him."
"Ome countries began to poach the sprinters of Jamaica, using generous scholarships to attract the best into universities, or engage in 'track and field immigration'. Jamaica adopted the same policy countermeasures. In the 1970s, Jamaica's knowledgeable people decided that for the sake of their country's sports traditions and the growth of talents, all athletes who stayed in Jamaica to train would receive the same treatment as those who immigrated to Ome, ensuring the scholarships to go to college and exchange opportunities to European and American countries, and receiving unexpected national honors. After this policy of cherishing talents lasted for 30 years, the world's sprinters slowly entered the current Jamaica era."
"My country is now beginning to slowly keep up with the construction in this area, and the protection of athletes is getting better and better. I hope that our track and field team can make new breakthroughs in the future."
Ome's track and field culture is "track and field immigration culture", but Jamaica happens to be the same as in China, "track and field local culture".
Which of these two is better or worse, is different from the perspective of the person.
Anyway, Su Shen himself seems to us that we still hope that our compatriots and our Chinese will overcome difficulties, make progress step by step, and finally break the limit and stand on the podium. Instead of simply doing some "track and field immigration", such a naturalization policy will be tried in some countries in the future, but unfortunately... it is useless.
Coupled with such "localized cultivation", it can also improve the overall national confidence and self-esteem.
This additional added value is definitely not comparable to a simple "naturalized gold medal".
Sports is an evolutionary form of national war in the era of peace.
Especially for the Olympics, which does not become a commercial alliance, which does not completely become a competitive and commercial model, it is even more necessary to consider the final gains and losses of the country and nation.
For example, Su Shen’s 100-meter breakthrough is definitely not as simple as a medal.
What he brought was definitely something deeper.
A 9.83s, from then on, many young people and many Chinese people dared to pat their chests and say, we can run away.
We are no worse than anyone else.
Even outside of non-Western African descent, we are the fastest races.
Do you think a planning medal can bring these things to people?
Seeing this, Su Shen knew that this Olympics had already begun to completely explode in his five-year layout.
In the next ten years, it is really worth looking forward to.
Worth looking forward to it.
