Chapter 865 The first gold (make up the debt 6)

Sebastian sat in front of the computer, looking up the comments of the media from all over the world on the opening ceremony of the London Olympics.

Of course, the UK's own media said it was good. The "Times" directly gave the title "Best Performance" and praised Boyle, the director of the opening ceremony of the London Olympics.

Other major British media, such as "The Sun", "The Independent", "The British Guardian", Sky TV, etc., have also used "an extremely novel Olympic opening ceremony" and "all British people have found the same spiritual destination". " and other words, praised the opening ceremony of the London Olympic Games.

Foreigners, however, are not as self-proclaimed as the British.

The Associated Press put it this way: Music is the biggest feature of the opening ceremony. In the opening ceremony with the theme of "Wonderful Island", the musical elements run through like a river. The opening is more like a music jukebox.

Compared with the Associated Press, the "New York Times" directly gave a headline "Tacky History Lesson, Brits Crossed", and they called the British "Neverland" opening scene full of eccentric features.

Germany's ZDF TV station criticized that: In order to ensure the effect of the opening ceremony, the director did not hesitate to make the queen an actor, and also moved out the old-fashioned James Bond and the Beatles.

"Some guys who can't eat grapes and say grapes are sour." Sebastian looked at these critical voices and curled his lips in disdain.

Then Sebastian opened the latest gold medal list, only to see that the first place has been occupied by the Chinese flag.

"Has the Chinese team won the first gold medal?" Sebastian looked at his watch. It was not yet 11 o'clock in the morning, and the first gold medal in the London Olympics was won by the Chinese team.

"It should be women's air rifle. The Chinese team has always been very strong in this event. But it doesn't matter. The road cycling has already started. If we can win the top three, our British team can rely on the advantages of gold and silver medals to stand on the stage. The number one position on the ranking list!" Sebastian thought silently.

At this moment, the phone rang, and Sebastian's expression suddenly became panicked after he answered the phone.

The call came from Buckingham Palace, and the caller was Her Majesty's attendant, who was asking when Britain's first gold medal would be born. Obviously, it was not the attendant who wanted to know about this matter, but His Majesty wanted to know about it.

"Six gold medals will be determined in today's Olympic Games. Among them, in the road cycling event, we have great hope of winning the championship, and we may even win the top three! Our players include this year's Tour de France champion Wiggins, Tour de France Fromm, the runner-up, and Cavendish, the Tour de France sprinter, can be said to be the top lineup in the world." Sebastian continued: "But the game has just started for an hour, and the whole game will last until four in the afternoon. There will be results after a while.”

"Buckingham Palace is looking forward to your good news." The other party responded politely.

After hanging up the phone, Sebastian himself felt a little nervous.

"Our lineup is so strong, we should be able to win the road cycling championship! Wiggins has just won the Tour de France championship and is in good condition, and Fromm is also on the rise. Both of them are drivers of the Sky team. Since They are teammates, and the cooperation between them must be very tacit, even if they can’t win the top three, it’s good to win the top two, at least we can make our British team number one in the gold medal list!” Sebastian thought of this , suddenly felt a little excited.

"Our host, if we can get the first place in the gold medal list on the first day of the Olympic Games, that would be great!"

Sebastian thought of this, picked up the phone, and called the supervisor of the boulevard work area.

"I'm Sebastian, tell me the result as soon as the road bike race is over!"

...

Not far from Buckingham Palace, there is Clarence House, where His Royal Highness the Crown Prince lives.

At this time, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was looking at the mirror and arranging his clothes.

"Your Highness, are you really going to the boulevard?" the attendant next to him asked.

"Yes, Buckingham Palace has already communicated with Chairman Sebastian. The first gold medal of our British team will be born there. Of course, I want to congratulate our athletes." His Royal Highness said .

"I think our contestants will be very touched when they see you coming." The attendant said with a smile on his face.

"Hehe, Wiggins won the Tour de France this year. He is the first British cyclist to win the Tour de France. He is the pride of our Brits! I also hope to see him continue to serve the country. Win glory and win Britain's first gold medal in the London Olympics!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince said.

...

Olympic road bikes generally take a circular route or a round-trip route, so the boulevard at the starting point is also the end of the race.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the 6,000 spectator seats on the boulevard were already full, and as long as there were places where people could stand, they were full of people. The press area was overcrowded, and ninety percent of them were British.

Cycling is a strong event in Britain, and the men's road cycling competition is likely to give birth to the host country's first gold medal in this Olympic Games, so many British spectators came to the boulevard to witness the first gold medal of the British team gold medal.

In the distance, there was a burst of cheers, which made the audience at the finish line realize that the contestants had arrived.

"It's coming! It's coming!" The audience stretched their necks and looked into the distance.

"Who? Who could it be!"

"Wiggins, it must be Wiggins!"

"Fromm can do it too!"

"Maybe it's Cavendish!"

"It's best to be Wiggins, Fromm and Cavendish, they take the top three!"

"The contestant is here! Who is it? Who is number one?"

"I can't see clearly, is it a blue and white competition uniform?"

The British team's game uniform is mainly white, the trousers and sleeves are dark blue, and the neckline is red, which happens to be the three colors of the Union Jack. All the spectators will call it the blue and white uniform.

"The person with the binoculars, take a quick look, is it our contestant!" The surrounding audience suddenly looked expectantly at a spectator with a binoculars hanging around his neck.

At this time, the audience is also pointing the telescope into the distance.

"How is it? Is it a blue and white competition uniform?"

"Is it our player?"

"It's not the blue and white competition uniform." The spectator continued: "It's red! The first place's uniform is red!"

"Red? Which country's players wear red uniforms?"

"Spain! I remember that the Spanish uniforms are red!"

Spain is also a strong country in road cycling, and they are also eligible to send five players to participate. The Spanish game uniform is mainly red with yellow sleeves, which is also the main color of the Spanish flag.

"Spanish players? The Spaniards are in the lead!" The surrounding audience suddenly looked disappointed.

"No, not Spaniards, that man is not wearing a Spanish flag! A red flag with yellow stars on it!"

"Red flag, yellow star, it's the Chinese flag! That's Chinese!"

"Chinese? Is anyone in China participating in road cycling?"

"I remembered, it's Zhang Guan! How could I have forgotten him! He was the champion of last year's Tour de France!"
