Wang Ai and Turin are stories of fate. Although Wang Ai has never played for any professional team in Turin, he rarely even comes. However, the city still gave Wang Ai a great love, not only made him a three-time European Golden Boy Award winner, but also invited him to the host city of the Winter Olympics in early 2006 to participate Torch Relay.

The Chinese who came to Italy to participate in the torch relay this time are not few, most of them are athletes related to the ice and snow events, as well as well-known athletes of the Summer Olympics, such as Liu Xiang. But there are also a handful of celebrity stars, such as Li Lihua, the representative of the Thousand Hands Guanyin, who performed the amazing world at the closing ceremony of the Paralympic Games in Athens two years ago.

Wang Ai was selected. First, at the Athens Olympics, he created the highest number of goals in a single Olympic Games. Even if it did not give him a gold medal, it is still a sensational Olympic record. In addition, it is his fate with Turin.

In short, Wang Ai's selection was between professional athlete Liu Xiang and Olympic celebrity Bian Lihua, with the roles of sports stars and famous figures. Liu Xiang completed the torch relay in Venice a few days ago, and Wang Ai was directly assigned to the final stage of the torch relay: Turin.

The opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics will be held on February 10th, and will be passed on February 9th and 10th in Turin. Wang Ai's delivery route just passed the door of the "Turin Sports" newspaper. His former club was Juventus's goalkeeper Buffon, and the latter club was the editor-in-chief of the Turin Sport newspaper.

The reason why the Turin Winter Olympics invites so many foreigners is because the Italian population is relatively small, only 60 million people. It is necessary to arrange 10,000 torchbearers. Obviously, the selection criteria of "World Famous" and "World Famous" Since there are not so many people to choose from, they simply invite celebrities from all over the world.

After Wang Ai arrived in Turin a day earlier, he conducted a "rehearsal" in accordance with the relevant arrangements, that is, he went to the section he was responsible for, and then Wang Ai rushed to the Chinese Winter Olympics delegation.

His visit made the accompanying reporter of the Winter Olympic Games Chinese delegation very excited. After all, Wang Ai's fame was so great that he could see the best news of the Premier League in January by buying a newspaper in Italy. Even if the Turin Winter Olympics is so lively, it cannot be hidden, after all, Italy is a football kingdom.

It ’s just that the wording is not easy to describe. It ’s a sympathy. It ’s a bit bigger. After all, Wang Ai ’s age is here, his status is just an ordinary athlete, and he has n’t even won an Olympic gold medal. It ’s a bit too bland, because everyone knows Wang Ai ’s public support for the Winter Olympics at the General Administration of Sports ’conference at the end of 2002.

The senior reporter is more clear that the Wang Ai family business is one of the sponsors of the Chinese delegation for the Winter Olympics.

Finally, the reporter was inspired by the dialogue between Yang Yang and Wang Ai.

The conversation after the two met was like this.

"It's been a long time, Sister Yang Yang, how is it? I fulfilled my promise to cheer you."

"Well, not bad, but this is my last Winter Olympics."

"Why? Are you going to play football instead?"

"Oh, my sister is 31, and I ’m not retiring? Generally, girls get married in their 20s. What is it like our female athletes, especially the disadvantaged items? I went to school at Tsinghua University last year, and the leader found me and let me come back. The short-track project is not working yet. I need to fight for my country. I will not be able to finish my studies, let alone get married. Fortunately, this is the last term. "

"... are you so old?"

"... Sister said to you, I have had an idea with you since I first met you. You see, I am going to retire today. Can you help me realize it?"

"What? Nothing!"

"I want to kick you fiercely!"

"Damn!"

The accompanying reporter felt that it was better to use "visit" between friends. Also meeting with Wang Ai was Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo. Zhao Hongbo last year ’s achilles tendon rupture during training, and the whole year was completely immersed. Even now, his condition is not very good.

This point is the cruelty of the two-person project. He is already 32 this year and has suffered such a serious injury. Seeing that even if he can persist, it will probably be worse every day. In other words, the whole career may stop at the World Championship in the 02 World Championships. In this case, if it is a single-person project, I'm afraid it will be self-pity, but he is a two-person project. His partner Shen Xue is also 27 years old, and all aspects have entered the period of decline of the athletes. At least in terms of the physical fitness of the Chinese athletes of this era, they can only follow him step by step and cannot change partners. Because no one is more tacit than them.

Therefore, it is more difficult to achieve results in the double event. Anyone has a problem, the entire combination is over.

In view of the fact that it was too early to retire and still seriously injured, if the Chinese Winter Olympics program is too weak and there are too few talents, I am afraid they will not be able to come to Turin. But even when they came, almost no one was optimistic about them, and now they are left with the idea that they can "rescue a little bit more".

It was in this situation that Wang Ai met them, or Zhao Hongbo said that Shen Xue was smiling beside him. Judging from the expression, Zhao Hongbo could not see any sadness, kind of humorous, holding Wang Ai's shoulder to show him the newly-purchased newspaper, there was a photo of Wang Ai holding the best trophy of the month, Zhao Hongbo asked Wang Ai Read him the newspaper.

Wang Ai didn't understand Italian, so she simply babbled in English, German, and Spanish. Zhao Hongbo didn't understand anyway.

Most of the people who train in the Winter Olympics are from the Northeast. This is a unique advantage for the northerners. In this era of poverty, natural conditions determine everything, just as Zhejiang's swimming programs are more developed than in the north. When did affluence reach the southern cities, they didn't care about an air-conditioned ice stadium, and they didn't care about building an indoor freestyle ski stadium. The gap in this regard could be narrowed. In other words, when the Southern Winter Olympics team has enough financial resources to run the winter in pursuit of the earth, it is OK.

Anyway, it can't be done now.

Therefore, Wang Ai went to the delegation of the Winter Olympics and ate a very rich Northeast cuisine!

I made money this time in Italy. I didn't spend a penny, and I ate for nothing. I cheered for them a few years ago.

As the competition was approaching, everyone was preparing for the fight, and Wang Ai didn't bother much. He met with you, mixed a meal, and said goodbye. He also returned to England to participate in tomorrow's league. After the league, Wang Ai intends to invite Xu Qinglian, who is also from the Northeast, to come to Turin again, for nothing else, just to open the eyes: we have all grown up on the ice and snow since you were young, but you can see others playing How good!
