At the beginning of the game, the players followed closely, and the referee's eyes were closely watching every athlete who entered the second half of the game. When only 4 kilometers away from the finish line, China's Liu Hongyu took the lead, but she has been booked twice. She accelerated at the risk of being sent off, hoping to cause her opponent to follow suit and foul. Sure enough, the Mexican player behind her trotted all the way and was sent off by the referee, followed by three Russian seed players.
Seeing his teammate sent off, Wang Liping knew that he had to win the championship on his own. She quickened her pace and soon came to the third place. Wang Liping's acceleration caused the second Italian player to be forced to accelerate and was sent off for a foul. Wang Liping succeeded in becoming the second place. When it was less than 500 meters from the finish line, a dramatic scene happened. At this time, the first place was a local Sydney player, and all the pictures of Sydney players were played on the big screen of the main stadium. The audience thought that the Sydney player was about to become the champion, but when he was about to enter the main stadium, the Sydney player was sent off by the referee for showing the third yellow card because of ecstasy, and Wang Liping ran into the main stadium smoothly.
And won the championship through the finish line, but at this moment, the audience was silent. Everyone doesn't know what happened, and they are still expecting Sydney athletes to enter. All eyes and cameras are still at the entrance. As a champion, Wang Liping was not questioned by reporters and cheered by the audience. As can be seen from her expression, her happiness is mixed with bitterness, and her eyes also reveal a little loneliness, because even the coach and staff are outside the stadium at this time, and even no one is there. A national flag representing honor is ready for her, and she can only slowly celebrate around the field with her bare hands. You know, a champion wears a national flag to celebrate around the field.
What a magnificent picture! In the track and field events of Sydney Olympic Games, more than 20 gold medals have been decided. Wang Liping is the only China athlete who won the gold medal in track and field, but also the only champion who has no national flag after winning the championship. Perhaps no one expected that the champion would be this little-known China athlete, but Wang Liping won the championship with his perseverance and strength. Finally, let's praise the lonely champion.
