奥运110米跨栏赛观后感


中国是北京奥运会的大赢家,但田径巨星刘翔却是赛会最失意的选手。

818日我恰好休假,所以有机会观看到在早上举行的110米跨栏赛预赛。刘翔一下场,我就觉得他有点不妥。他一拐一拐的,并不时抚摸大腿。比赛开始时,另一位选手起跑犯规,刘翔只跑出几步,就因伤痛退出。看到他一人走出体育场,我为他感到难受。

很明显的,刘翔在赛前就已经受伤,或许他根本不应该下场。但是,当中国十三亿人都期待这位田径巨星摘金时,刘翔又怎能令他们失望呢?

中国奥运选手,名气最大非刘翔和姚明莫属。但篮球是团体赛,中国人原本就不预算姚明能带领篮球队赢取金牌。相比之下,他们对刘翔的期待和要求就大得多。

与此同时,中国人也念念不忘新仇旧恨,他们忘不了“百年屈辱”和几个月前奥运圣火在巴黎传送时被阻挠之耻。刘翔参加奥运,不仅是“为国争光”,还是“为国雪耻”,以让中国人能够“站起来”。他所承受的压力,我只能用“恐怖”二字来形容。

无论如何,刘翔还年轻,他还有机会亮相2012年伦敦奥运会。到那时,希望他能够为自己而跑。

  5. Maybe Liu Xiang did feel a lot of pressure. But then this pressure is not intentionally placed on him.

    Yes, Chinese netizens are sometimes very bad. A few months ago when Yao Ming donated money for the earthquake victims, he was still criticized for being 'stingy'.

    Intentional or not, the impact was there. Given that China has won so many gold medals in the past Olympics, this should not have happened.
