One of the charms of sports was that it was full of possibilities. When the Chinese team defeated the normally invincible South Korean team, it was like breaking a barrier over their heads. Breaking the stigma and cracking the reputation of the South Korean team as undefeated champions of archery.For the Chinese team members who broke this haze, they had experienced a metamorphosis, and both their spirit and strength had qualitatively improved.
The strength of the South Korean team was undoubtedly the strongest in this Youth Olympic Games. Others, whether it was the US team, the German team, the Italian team or the Russian team, they were inferior in terms of strength to the South Korean team.
After defeating the South Korean team, the Chinese team"s morale was high. They carried on that energy and eliminated the German team. They successfully reached the finals which was against the US team.
After Tang Yan"s 120-points in the game against South Korea, in the final match against the US team, he shot again in full points and led the team to sweep up their opponent with a score of 6-0. Winning all six rounds.
He successfully won the Youth Olympic Games. The champions of the team compet.i.tion, they created a new milestone for Chinese Men"s archery.
After the Chinese team won the champions.h.i.+p, the entire stadium was at boiling point.
Finally, it was no longer the South Korean"s adding another trophy to the cabinet. Such a scene had already made people feel a little numb.
At the same time, domestic archery enthusiasts were also caught in a whirlwind of emotions.
After the Chinese team defeated the South Korean team, almost all the people involved in Chinese archery put their attention on this young team. When the champions.h.i.+p was really won by the Chinese team, they could no longer control their excitement.
Li Lao was overjoyed watching in front of the TV, and tears fell from his wizened face.
He didn"t look away, even he had "underestimated" Tang Yan.
Tang Yan not only helped Lotus City, Zhejiang Province, but this time he also helped revitalize the national team.
The award ceremony was held after the end of the finals.
Tang Yan and his teammates changed out of their compet.i.tion gear in the locker room.
Because the men"s team finals were followed by the women"s team finals, the audiences at the scene wasn"t reduced at this time, and the entire stadium could be said to be overcrowded.
The audience was full of expectations and looked at the stadium, waiting to welcome the birth of a new champion.
The second and third runners-up of the Youth Olympic Games were announced on the spot. They were the American team and the German team. The two teams got on the podium.
"The winners of the Men"s Archery Team compet.i.tion for the Singapore Youth Olympic Games 2010, are….. China!" The live host announced aloud.
As the voice of the host fell, Tang Yan holding the hands of Li Haoze and Zheng Zhun, jumped from the backstage onto the podium, and held up their hands together.
The scene was followed by a burst of crazy cheers.
The guest who presented the gold medal for this Youth Olympic Games was O. Vazquez, the current chairman of the International Archery Federation, he was more than 70 years old with light gray hair.
"Congratulations to you, young people, your performance is something to be proud off." Vazquez said to them, they smiled and shook hands. After which he went down the line hanging the gold medals around their necks.
The cheers on the scene went up again.
The new Youth Olympic champions were born at this moment.
At this time, the most unsettled ones belonged to the South Korean team. They really did, as Tang Yan said before, watch on as spectators as the Chinese Team won and enjoyed the victory.
After taking a photo with the Chinese team members, Vazquez left the podium.
At this time, the host"s voice came again.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please quieten as we play the national anthem of The People"s Republic of China."
The Flag of China flew up high and with the voice of the host, audiences from all over the world stood up from their seats.
Tang Yan also put down the gold medal in his hand, turned to look at the direction of the waving flag, looked serious and unconsciously straightened his back.
All the athletes in the world were working hard to do their best to gain honor and money for themselves. However, compared with this, it was more important to get your national anthem played in the stadium. The glory of the country. The original motivation for the Olympics.
When the audience all became silent, the familiar prelude sounded.
"March on, heroic peoples of all ethnicities!
The great Communist Party, lead us to continue the Long March!
Millions of but one heart we run towards the Communist tomorrow!
Build our homeland, guard our homeland, and fight gallantly.
March on! March on! March on!..."
As the national anthem sounded in the Singapore Capital Stadium, Tang Yan felt that his emotions could not be completely controlled, and tears of excitement rushed out.
Not only him, Li Haoze and Zheng Zhun beside him, Tian Zhenzhe in the distance, and even many people who loved archery couldn"t control their tears.
This was a moment in history.
After the award ceremony, Tang Yan and his teammates held the medals in their hands and went back to share with Tian Zhenzhe.
.....
"If you don"t want to be known as sinners when we go back, the individual compet.i.tion tomorrow is your last chance to redeem yourselves." In the corner of the audience area, Wu Quantai, who forced the archers to watch the awards ceremony, turned back and said to his team.
Failure was not something that the Korean team had experienced, but since they failed, he hoped his players could grow from this failure, which is why he made them stay.

The South Korean team members, including Park Tae-an, slowly walked out of the stadium after watching the medal ceremony. After listening to Wu Quantai"s words, they all nodded hard.
At this time, Park Tae-an was looking at the direction of the Chinese team. He whispered to himself, "Tang Yan, just wait I will get my revenge in the individual compet.i.tion!"
....
Tang Yan and his teammates celebrated, they were preparing to go back.
But just as he had just turned back, he felt himself being warped.
"What the…."
He instinctively cursed, and when he looked up again, he once again found himself in the heterogeneous s.p.a.ce of the system.
Celia stood right in front of him, almost scaring him.
"d.a.m.n... can"t you warn me before you pull me in next time?" Tang Yan said, calming his heart.
"There is no other way, the system is set up like this." Celia said sticking out her tongue at him.
