Translator: Legge Editor: Legge
The next day .
Noon .
The Chinese delegation had won 13 gold medals so far . In the finals of the various events held yesterday night and this morning, the Chinese athletes had performed astonishingly well . Several of the gold medals were expected while a few had come as surprises . The dominance of the Olympic host was finally starting to show . The good results that suddenly started coming over the past two days also stirred up the excitement of the people around the country . Their passion and interest in following the Olympics were now becoming stronger and stronger .
At Zhang Ye's maternal grandma's house .
His grandmother said loudly, "Hurry up and switch on the television . "
His grandfather said in annoyance, "It hasn't even started yet . "
"It will soon, so just switch it on first . We don't want to miss anything," his grandmother said anxiously .
His mother laughed as she went over to turn the television on and switch it to the Central TV Sports Channel .
His three sisters also gathered around .
"Mengmeng, don't squeeze in here!"
"I wanna sit in front!"
"Aiya, you little rascal . "
"It's time for Brother's commentary! I've been waiting a whole day for this!"
"Where are the melon seeds? I want to much on them as I watch . "
It was the weekend today and a rare get-together for the family, but everyone was only interested in watching the Olympics .
At Old Yao's house .
Yao Mi got a bunch of her schoolmates from Peking University's Chinese Department to gather at her place .
"It's about to begin . "
"Mimi, where's your dad? I want to get his autograph . "
"He went out for a commercial appearance . Why would you want his autograph? Let's watch Teacher Zhang's commentary . Did you guys watch his commentary yesterday? Hahahaha, it was really funny!"
"I did, I did!"
"How could we have not watched it? Heehee!"
"Teacher Zhang is really awesome!"
"True, he's our teacher after all!"
"I wonder how Teacher Zhang will commentate today . "
All over the country, similar scenes were playing out .
Countless Chinese citizens were waiting in full anticipation for today's events . First, because the events held were the more popular ones, and second, because of Zhang Ye's interesting commentary!
…
The live broadcast began!
The Olympic live coverage started!
It was the finals of the Men's 10m Platform Diving!
Yu Yingyi smiled and said, "Hello, everyone . The competition will be starting soon . Let us first introduce today's guest commentator, my old classmate, Zhang Ye . We also have with us former world champion, Li Yang, who was on the Chinese diving team . "
Zhang Ye said, "Hello, everyone . "
Li Yang spoke with some stiffness in his voice, "Hello, viewers and friends . "
Yu Yingyi said, "In today's competition, a highlight we'll be looking forward to seeing is whether Chen Xing can defend his title . If Chen Xing can win the gold medal, he would achieve the triple crown in this event at the Olympics . "
Zhang Ye said rationally, "Actually, everyone has always been too focused on the gold medals . Back when the interest in the Olympics fell, it was due to a lack of gold medal performances by our athletes . However, I feel that it shouldn't be that way . Every one of the athletes present has put in a lot of sweat, blood, and tears to get here . Every medal, every result, every wonderful moment should deserve our applause as well . This is what makes sports so beautiful in the first place . "
Li Yang immediately followed with, "That's right . I feel that Professor Zhang's words were well said . "
The event began .
The athletes from the various countries gradually arrived to compete for the gold medal in this event!
The Australian athlete committed a huge mistake the moment he came up . After the run-up, he didn't manage to push off the platform properly, which led to him not having enough time to execute his movements . It ended up with him belly flopping!
Sploosh!
The sound of a loud splash!
The water sprayed upwards!
Yu Yingyi said, "Oh, the Australian athlete has made a mistake!"
Li Yang frowned and said, "That shouldn't have happened . It's very rare to make such a rookie mistake in the finals of an event . The Australian athlete does not look like he's in a good form today . "
The American athlete was the next to go . Incredibly, he also screwed up his dive!
At the moment of entry into the water, he got careless and sent the water splashing two meters high!
