When Cao Lei won the gold medal in the 75kg women's weightlifting class at the Beijing Olympics, she burst into tears for 4 or 5 minutes when she was supposed to be cheering. These were not tears of joy, but tears of real sadness. The reason was that before her last attempt, the coach

He told her that her mother had passed away, a news that her father and coach had kept from her for two months.

She failed in the last move and did not break the world record, although her usual results are much higher than this record.

Afterwards, she said: "I couldn't concentrate. I was thinking about my mother." Compared with the regret of not being able to see her mother for the last time, the regret of not breaking the world record is really insignificant.

We can only hope that hanging the "gold inlaid jade" to worship his mother will somewhat alleviate Cao Lei's regret and sadness.

Eric Shanty is an American swimmer. His performance in the American Swimming Corps led by Phelps is not dazzling, but he has gained the respect of the world.

He was diagnosed with testicular cancer two months ago, but he still chose to participate in the Olympics.

He failed to advance to the men's 200-meter breaststroke semifinals, and his Olympic journey ended.

Shanti had no regrets about this and told the media his thoughts on this trip to Beijing, "I am very happy. Although I did not win a medal, I came to Beijing and experienced the Olympics, which was enough.

” In addition, Shanti’s father is also a cancer patient and is currently undergoing treatment.

Shanti said that his illness this time made him better understand the pain his father went through.

At the same time, he also wants to thank everyone who cares about him and helps him.

"I will have a long talk with my father. We must face the disease with a more positive and optimistic attitude. There is no difficulty that we cannot overcome!" This reminds me of the popular video circulating on the Internet recently - Lan

Professor Di Bausch's speech "The Last Lesson", his words infected people all over the world, "We can't change the cards in our hands, but we can decide how to play them." The Olympic story of athlete Shanti also gave us

Such inspiration.

In the face of illness and even death, his calm attitude and upward spirit built up the height of his life and embodied the soul of the Olympic movement, adding a yearning and emotion to our lives as viewers. This

At the Olympic Games, Iraqi athletes did not have dazzling results, but they received media attention because of their unfortunate fate.

First, she was expelled from the International Olympic Committee and missed the Beijing Olympics. At that time, female athlete Dana Hussein moved countless viewers with her tears and appeals to the camera.

Later, their dream came true and they won the tickets for the Beijing Olympics at the last moment. The joy of regaining it made them cry again.

Now, their competition has begun, but the news of "Iraqi athletes wearing their own old T-shirts to compete", "Iraqi female athletes wearing second-hand running shoes to compete in the Olympics" and "Iraqi athletes renting rowing boats to compete" still aroused many viewers

of sympathy.

However, Dana Hussein is not as ashamed as we thought. "I definitely wish I could have a new pair of brand-name running shoes, but I have been lucky enough to get the opportunity to come to Beijing to participate in the Olympics." She continued, "From

Since the first day I practiced running, I have been eager to one day appear in the Olympic Games. Now my dream will come true on August 16. I am really excited. "I have dreamed of setting foot on the Olympic track since I was a child.

Athletes, when they are about to stand in the Bird's Nest Stadium to compete with the world's top players, will they still care about the condition of a pair of running shoes?

This is the power of dreams and the hope that dreams bring to mankind.

… Athletes have physical strength and athletic skills beyond our reach, but they also have the heartbreak, optimism, pursuits and dreams of ordinary people.

What they have to face may also be what we have to face, and their stories are also our stories.

"Wonder Boy" Zhu Qinan shed tears of regret, but the audience gave the young player endless applause.

Zhu Qinan regretted losing the gold medal, but besides the gold medal, he was also moved.

Zhu Qinan admitted that he was under tremendous pressure. When the host announced: "The silver medal winner is Zhu Qinan, China!" the audience stood up and gave the warmest applause. Zhu Qinan, who stood in the runner-up position, could no longer suppress his emotions.

He shed tears of gratitude desperately.

Behind Zhu Qinan is a difficult road that few people know.

He was born in a poor family. According to his father Zhu Yuan, studying is the only way to change his destiny.

So, when the boy reached the right age to go to school, he came to the "big city" Wenzhou with his parents, carrying a little borrowed money.

At that time, his father Zhu Yuanyou sold fruits and worked as a temporary worker, and his mother Xie Aifang helped others cook and lived in a rental house with extremely poor conditions.

In this environment, Zhu Qinan became extremely thin due to malnutrition.

He never asked for anything from adults. The only toy he had was the toy gun his father gave him when he was 5 years old.

"For 18 yuan, a gun has 8 different sounds. You press it and it will go off. Later, the gun was broken by my nephew. Zhu Qinan even cried sadly at that time." Xie Aifang said.

It was this toy gun that started to make Zhu Qinan interested in shooting.
