Chapter 752 The former legend!

"I am Lin Fan, the director in charge of the opening ceremony of the Kyoto Olympics. This time I will select two sports to be the last torchbearer."

As soon as the words came to an end, the audience became noisy.

Although they had long learned from Director Zhang that an Olympic director would come to choose a torchbearer, they were still shocked when they really said it from Lin Fan.

"What Director Zhang said is true!"

"The last torchbearer in the Olympics igniting the torch!"

"I want to be, but I don't know if I can choose me."

".

The athletes in the audience looked at Lin Fan with bright eyes.

Lin Fan smiled and continued: "The two athletes have two selection requirements: one is to run fast and the other is to shoot archery accurately."

There were whispers below, and many athletes looked regretful.

Obviously, they did not meet Lin Fan’s requirements.

Zhang Linfan's eyes lit up, "Run fast?"

Director Lin, I have a recommended candidate.”

Lin Fan became interested, "Who is it?"

"Liu Yixiang."

Lin Fan was stunned, "Liu Yixiang?"

Even the athletes sitting below were stunned.

It seems that I didn't expect Zhang Linfan to say this name.

On Blue Star, if there are athletes that the whole people of China can remember.

Then it must be Liu Yixiang.

In the era when Liu Yixiang fought for the Olympics, flowers and applause were everywhere no matter where he was.

Not only have he won countless Olympic championships, but he has also broken countless world records.

He is even the holder of the world's 110-meter hurdles now!

At the moment he won the championship, the whole Chinese nation was in full swing.

You will become famous in one fell swoop, and everyone knows it.

Liu Yixiang won the battle of the gods in the Olympic finals, and everyone remembered him from now on!

It has painted a thick and light stroke of Chinese track and field history, which is also a myth of the yellow race.

But the good times didn't last long. Liu Yixiang announced his retirement due to his own injury.

In the end, I missed the next Olympics.

From then on, no Chinese won the championship in the 110-meter hurdles.

Lin Fan asked, "Where is Liu Yixiang now?"

Zhang Linfan said excitedly: "Since he retired, Liu Yixiang has been at home. If he could be the last torchbearer in the Olympics, the traffic would definitely explode!"

He knew that for the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, the most important thing is to give a good review of traffic.

So it directly explains the attention Liu Yixiang has brought.

As a track and field myth, Liu Yixiang's influence is absolutely explosive!

Moreover, after Liu Yixiang withdrew from the game due to injury, he suffered endless abuse.

Such a controversial Olympic hero will definitely shock China and the whole world once he stands at the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games!

Lin Fan nodded, "Then we will visit Liu Yixiang after we have finished our choice!"

Lin Fan was moved by the athlete candidate recommended by Zhang Linfan.

And letting Liu Yixiang ignite the arrow more symbolize a kind of inheritance!

After choosing an archer, I went to discuss with Liu Yixiang.

Next, we will choose the last torchbearer through the archery competition.

Soon, the archers began to compete in an orderly manner.

According to accuracy and error rate, Lin Fan found the candidate he wanted.

He is the Paralympic archery champion Zhang Chenggang.

Looking at Zhang Chenggang with almost 100% accuracy, Lin Fan was extremely satisfied.

Then he told Zhang Chenggang, "Practice well."

Zhang Chenggang was also excited after being selected.

I will definitely not lose my chain when I pat my chest!

After choosing the archer, Lin Fan and Zhang Linfan went to find Liu Yixiang.

Liu Yixiang's residence is in a house allocated by the country.

The community environment is simple and quiet.

It is a community specially arranged for these Olympic champions.

His house is on the third floor, and he will arrive by taking the stairs.

After knocking on the door, Liu Yixiang was a little surprised to see Lin Fan and Zhang Linfan.

Especially when he saw Zhang Linfan, he looked puzzled: "Director Zhang?"

Zhang Linfan excitedly told them their purpose.

After listening, Liu Yixiang was silent for a while, and finally let them walk into the house.

Lin Fan looked up and saw that Liu Yixiang’s home was decorated in a simple manner. In addition to the sofa and coffee table, there was a TV in front of the large living room.

The two sat on the sofa, facing Liu Yixiang.

Liu Yixiang thought for a while and shook his head, "Director Zhang, Director Lin, I know your purpose, but I still think it's inappropriate."

Liu Yixiang refused.

But this was also expected by Lin Fan.

If Liu Yixiang agreed instantly, that would be unexpected.

After hearing Liu Yixiang's rejection, Zhang Linfan quickly advised: "Yiguang, don't be too busy refusing. This is a good thing for you to the Kyoto Olympics!"

Liu Yixiang was silent, but still shook his head.

Zhang Linfan slapped his thigh hard, "No, think about it again!"

Liu Yixiang will not say anything now.

When Lin Fan saw Zhang Linfan who was flushed with anxiety, he understood Liu Yixiang's rejection.

Since Liu Yixiang withdrew from the Olympics due to injury, he has suffered a lot of unreasonable accusations, and most people even think he is escaping.

From a great sportsman to a thousand men's fingers, the Internet is full of belittlement and disdain for him.

Subconscious rejection is also normal.

"Liu Yixiang, you are a respectable sports athlete. You have won countless gold medals for the Chinese Olympic Games. Even athletes from other countries, your competitors admire you very much."

Lin Fan looked at Liu Yixiang who lowered his head and was silent and said, "You have never fallen from the altar. Chinese people know that there is an athlete named Liu Yixiang who turned the impossible into a possibility in the track and field event where black people dominate."

"You participated in the forty-eight World Series, won thirty-six championships, six runner-ups, and three thirds, leaving the world with the myth of Asian Flying Man."

"Breaking the world record once, breaking the Asian record five times, and breaking the Asian Games record three times, but everyone only remembers that you have withdrawn from the competition twice."

Lin Fan's voice was low: "In the Tokyo Olympics, another track and field athlete in China broke the Asian record. Thirteen years later, everyone realized that there was no next Liu Yixiang."

"It was only then that they rehabilitated you. The people who once scolded you now apologize to you."

"Your retirement is the end of a hero, ignite the sacred fire and inherit your sports spirit, which is what you deserve."

After Lin Fan finished speaking, the room became quiet.

Even Zhang Linfan held his breath, and the two of them were quietly waiting for Liu Yixiang's answer.

Time passes minute by minute.

It took a long time before Liu Yixiang's dull voice came.

"I want to stay at twenty-one forever, do it again."

After pausing, Liu Yixiang said, "But I am thirty-eight years old and I can never go back."

He looked up at Lin Fan, "I promised you the invitation just now."

Hearing Liu Yixiang agreeing, Zhang Linfan jumped up excitedly.
