Chapter 257 Old Qiao in the Olympic Village(1/2)

As the Olympics approaches, more and more news about the Olympics are coming.

"This afternoon, our country's Olympic sports athletes took a charter flight to the Tokyo Olympic Village..."

On July 22, the news broadcast reported a news.

The Chinese National Olympic Team officially moved into the Olympic Village. The Chinese Team did not check into the Olympic Village early, and the Olympic Village was already open more than a week ago.

Many athletes who need to counter-difference come early, but the Chinese team does not need to do this. After all, the distance between the two countries is too close and there is no need to counter-difference, so there is no need to join the Olympic Village so early.

"I live in the Olympic Village for the first time, and the conditions are pretty good."

Qiao Zhiguo posted a news, which immediately attracted everyone's attention after the news was posted.

"Teacher Qiao has no regrets in his life. He lives in the Olympic Village at the age of 62, hahaha..."

"A 62-year-old villager in the Olympic Village, this is my grandfather's level."

"Hahaha, Teacher Qiao is definitely the oldest athlete and villager in the Olympic Village."

"Old man, are you here to give your son? Hahaha..."

Netizens became lively. They participated in the Olympics at the age of 62. There were not many Olympic athletes of this age.

But it is not without it. The oldest athlete in Olympic history is Oscar Swan, born in Tanum, Sweden on May 1, 1847. In 1908, when Swan won his first Olympic gold medal in the shooting competition in London Olympics in the UK, he was already 60 years old and became the oldest champion in Olympic history.

At the 7th Olympic Games in Antwerp in 1920, Swan was already in his seventies and was still not old at the age of 73. He not only became the oldest athlete in the history of the Olympics, but also became the oldest medalist in the history of the Olympics, winning a silver medal for Sweden.

This old man is also a legend. He participated in the Olympics at the age of 60 and participated in three consecutive Olympics. He won a total of three golds, one silver and two bronzes, and was definitely a legend.

However, compared with the projects that Qiao Zhiguo participated in, the projects that Swan participated in did not consume much physical strength, and the most important thing was experience.

Qiao Zhiguo is different. Qiao Zhiguo is competing with young people for physical strength. And it is the track and field event that competes with the most physical strength, so the competition between Qiao Zhiguo and Swan is completely different.

"Joe, can you sign me? I'm your fan..."

"Joe, can you teach me kung fu?"

"Joe, I'm your fan of book..."

After the Chinese team moved into the Olympic Village, Qiao Zhiguo was very popular. This popularity was unexpected by Qiao Zhiguo.

In the Olympic Village, many athletes are actually fans of Qiao Zhiguo.

Some people want to learn kung fu with Qiao Zhiguo, some want to learn delicious food with Qiao Zhiguo, some are book fans of Qiao Zhiguo, some are movie fans of Qiao Zhiguo, some are anime fans, and some are fallen in love with Qiao Zhiguo because of "Love Island".

The athlete group is also a group of young people. Many athletes are not old. Although Qiao Zhiguo is old, his fan group is all young. Athletes also have hobbies, entertainment, and favorite stars.

An old man like Qiao Zhiguo is very famous in the sports circle. Many athletes hope that they can still compete on the field as Qiao Zhiguo is 60 years old.

As athletes, they know more about how difficult it is for Qiao Zhiguo.

Athletes are just for youth. Injuries and age are fatal to athletes. This kind of thing cannot be compensated by your efforts to make up for it.

When you reach age, your physical functions will naturally degenerate. This is a natural law and cannot be compensated by your acquired efforts. Many athletes have very short sports careers. For athletes, being able to participate in the Olympics is the most glorious thing in their life.

It is very popular, and they have no conflict of interest with Old Man Qiao. After all, Qiao Zhiguo runs track and field, and most of the top athletes run track and field are black athletes, and most of them come from Africa.

The number of these people is very small, and most of the villagers in the Olympic Village have no interest in Qiao Zhiguo. So they get along with Qiao Zhiguo very easily.

As a hot commodity, Qiao Zhiguo has become a hot commodity in the Olympic Village.

After getting along, what surprised everyone the most was Qiao Zhiguo's learning ability.

Qiao Zhiguo can talk to others in a strange language without long learning. Many athletes can speak in two languages, and many athletes can speak English and other languages.

Qiao Zhiguo was also very curious about these languages, so he asked for advice in English and then learned other languages.

German, French, Italian, Arabic, Spanish, and more!

Many times, after a while, Qiao Zhiguo can learn a lot of words. There are many languages, and you can remember them once you say them. This memory ability makes everyone ashamed.

Most athletes are species with developed limbs and simple minds. Qiao Zhiguo has developed limbs and more developed minds. After some contact, everyone also understood why this old man is so powerful and has a strong learning ability.

Qiao Zhiguo also had a lot of fun in the Olympic Village. For Qiao Zhiguo, he only needed simple training to keep his condition in place every day.

The same is true for other athletes, and the Olympics are about to begin. Reserving physical strength is a very important thing, so many times athletes from all over the country have the opportunity to have more communication.

Qiao Zhiguo's communication skills are also very strong, as if he has a charm. After many people come into contact with Qiao Zhiguo, they will think that this old man is really good after a while.

He speaks funny and can talk together no matter what he talks.

Qiao Zhiguo has gained a lot, and has met so many top athletes. Maybe everyone will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. For Qiao Zhiguo, these people may become their own network resources in the future. Although most of these foreigners are very snobbish, it is better to have them than not.

As for domestic athletes, let alone. They admire Qiao Zhiguo and others very much, and Qiao Zhiguo treats them very well. And many athletes want to establish good relationships with Qiao Zhiguo.

In China, although not many athletes are involved in the entertainment industry after retirement, there are also such examples, and more and more athletes want to enter the entertainment industry to make money after retirement.

It goes without saying that Qiao Zhiguo's influence in the Chinese entertainment industry, so few athletes dare to provoke Qiao Zhiguo.

"What's wrong with Coach Ma?"

At the training ground, Qiao Zhiguo came to Ma Yong's side. Seeing Ma Yong's mood a little depressed, Qiao Zhiguo couldn't help asking.

"After this Olympics, many athletes are about to retire. I also have to go to the General Administration to retire. Alas, many of them have been doing sports for the years, and their lives may not be easy after retirement."

Ma Yong couldn't help but say.

Athletes are only those on the top of the pyramid, and they are not easy to live after retirement. Especially in some events, some of the athletes' lives after retirement are really miserable.

Some Olympic champions are setting up street stalls, and some even go to the subway to beg for begging. This situation not only exists in China, but also in various countries around the world. Many athletes do not make much money in their careers.

After retiring, it is difficult for them to integrate into this society. It is not even a survival skill, and it is good to be a physical education teacher.

Looking at Ma Yong and then looking at the athletes who were training hard in the training ground, Qiao Zhiguo was also deeply touched.

The more time they have to contact these athletes, the deeper the feelings Qiao Zhiguo will be. They dedicated their best years to the country. However, after retirement, many people have not lived well.

"Coach Ma, if I get a training school and let them learn living skills for free, would they be willing to go?"

Qiao Zhiguo's words stunned Ma Yong, and he turned his head to look at Qiao Zhiguo with curiosity.

"I just want to give them a chance. Although they are a little older, I think if they are willing, they can still find a good job in this society again. After they receive training, if their grades are qualified, my company is willing to give them a chance."

Qiao Zhiguo said with a smile, and these words made Ma Yong excited.

"Teacher Qiao, are you really willing to set up a training school like this? Can retired athletes participate?"

Ma Yong asked with concern that Ma Yong has seen too many retired athletes in the track and field team for so many years. There are a lot of unsatisfactory life.

For example, those who practice weightlifting, discus, javelin, and shot put are all kinds of events. It is really a good benefit for these athletes to be a physical education teacher after retirement. Most athletes cannot be placed after retirement and can only find a life for others.

Compared with ordinary people, their lives are more difficult. Because when others learn life skills and accumulate work experience, they are training hard and competing hard.

When they retired, they did not have many survival skills. Many people were injured and their lives were even more difficult after returning to society.

The lives of retired athletes are polarized.

Those athletes with good grades and high reputation make a lot of money one by one, and naturally live a leisurely life after retirement. They are like celebrities in the entertainment industry.

Those athletes with little fame, unpopular championships, or poor grades are like supporting roles in the entertainment industry, many people have been supporting roles all their lives.

"Of course you can participate. However, how to operate this matter must be planned well. And you have to find someone in charge to take charge of this matter."

Qiao Zhiguo said seriously that Qian Qiao Zhiguo doesn’t have to worry too much now.

But this matter is not that easy. If the entire training center is operated, how to help those athletes and how to re-employ these athletes after training needs to be seriously considered.

"I'll go, how about I'll be the person in charge for you?"

Ma Yong said quickly.

"You? Aren't you going to the General Administration?"

Qiao Zhiguo couldn't help asking.

"What a fool to go. Going to the General Administration is also a free job, it's boring. If I can do something for these retired athletes, I will be considering to be making use of my remaining energy."

Ma Yong said with a smile.

After the Olympics, Ma Yong is about to go to the General Administration. For Ma Yong, he is also a high promotion.

Going to the General Administration for retirement is indeed a good choice for a coach like Ma Yong. He has a high position, high salary, and free work. His daily work is probably just reading newspapers and drinking tea.

However, Ma Yong didn't like this job from the bottom of his heart.

After working as a coach for so many years, I have been used to being busy. I feel so uncomfortable when I suddenly feel idle. But it’s not okay to leave. A new generation of people always have to leave.

Ma Yong really relied on Qiao Zhiguo's blessing after participating in this Olympics. If Qiao Zhiguo had not achieved good results in the World Championships, I'm afraid Ma Yong would have gone to retire before the Olympics.

"You have thought about it. This job is not easy. If you don't do it well, it will be thankless and offend people."

Qiao Zhiguo looked at Ma Yong and said.

"It's okay, I offended a lot of people anyway."

Ma Yong's words made Qiao Zhiguo laugh.

The two of them were not in the mood to watch the training and began to discuss the matters of this training center.

The goal of this training center is to train retired athletes to learn new survival skills and re-employment.

This is not a simple job. Everyone’s situation is different. It is crucial to tailor-made training content for these people as much as possible so that they can learn new survival skills faster.

After learning these survival skills, they have to consider their employment issues. Although it is public welfare, because the training group is quite special, there are even some Olympic champions and world champions in it.
