Olympic stars re-employed
They are Olympic stars, and this was the battlefield they were most familiar with. If they change their identity and set off again, will their hearts be filled with emotion?
Tonight, the Tokyo Olympics will begin. Entering the stadium, counting the familiar faces in the audience and referee stands, the reemployment of Olympic stars is equally exciting.
Diving Double Shu Shine
Yesterday, the former diving queen Guo Jingjing updated her personal social media dynamics and said, “Starting for the Tokyo Olympics! This time I will go to the Tokyo Olympics as a judge, but due to the epidemic, I can only go alone. I wish the Tokyo Olympics a complete success! Cheer for the Chinese diving team. Cheer for the Chinese Olympic athletes!”
During his 22-year diving career, he participated in the Olympic Games as a diving athlete many times. This year, he participated in the Olympic Games in a different capacity. Guo Jingjing said frankly that she is looking forward to seeing the charm of the sport from another angle as a member (as a member of the Technical Diving Committee) and rekindling the Olympic passion.
As a mother of three children, making this decision is not easy. Guo Jingjing said: “I have been thinking about whether to go or not. If I go, what will the child do? Later, I think about it, when the child is older, I have to work, and finally decided to participate.” For Guo Jingjing’s decision, husband Huo Qigang was very supportive and laughed at himself It is the “driver Ahuo”. When Guo Jingjing is working in Japan, he will shoulder the important task of raising children at home.
The reporter learned that after Guo Jingjing served as the Tokyo Olympic diving referee, “Olympic hardware king” Chen Ruolin will also participate in the Tokyo Olympic diving competition. So which is more difficult to be an athlete to compete or to be a referee? Chen Ruolin said, “It’s still more difficult to be a referee. When you are an athlete, you can manage yourself well. But when you are a referee, you must be familiar with the rules of the game and be prepared for various situations that may occur on the court.” Chen Ruolin had Won the women’s singles and doubles gold medals in the 10-meter platform at the Beijing and London Olympics, and partnered with Liu Huixian at the Rio Olympics to defend the Chinese team in the women’s doubles 10-meter platform. After retiring in October 2016, Chen Ruolin began her career as a diving referee.
Eight gold kings show eloquence
Phelps, the eight gold king of the Olympics, will return to the Olympics, but this time he is not as an athlete. NBC announced on Monday that swimmer Michael Phelps will serve as a reporter and swim commentator. Participate in NBC’s Tokyo Olympics coverage.
As we all know, Phelps is the greatest superstar in the entire Olympic history. He has participated in five Olympic Games since the 2000 Sydney Olympics, won a record of 23 gold medals, and the total number of personal Olympic medals reached 28. At the Beijing Olympics, he even staged a great miracle of one person winning 8 gold. On December 2, 2016, Phelps officially announced his retirement.
It is reported that in Tokyo, Phelps will serve as the prime time reporter of the NBC swimming game live broadcast, and will also comment on each swimming game with other guests. NBC Olympic production executive producer said that Phelps’ analysis and professional comments will bring you some interesting stories. “We are very happy to have him join us in Tokyo, and believe that our audience will benefit from the views of this high-profile Olympian.”
In fact, it is not just the Feiyu family who work as reporters with the team. In fact, in the past athletes’ careers, they have trained better eloquence, and many athletes choose news as their new journey after retiring. Shanghai Olympic champion Xu Lijia also came to Tokyo this time. As a special correspondent for China Sports, she recorded the entire Tokyo Olympic Games with a photography certificate.
Controversial porcelain doll
The porcelain doll Ai Fukuhara is also back! As the number one star of Japanese sports in the past, she may also appear in the Tokyo Olympic Games as a commentator.
It is said that Ai Fukuhara performed very well in commenting on the Japanese table tennis game in January this year. Not only did he use a rich vocabulary, but he also knew the mood and skills of the first-line players very well, which was well received. After the news came out, Ai Fukuhara once again appeared on the hot search list. It seems that whether it is right or wrong, Ai Fukuhara is indeed born with the attribute of “self-contained traffic”. The choice of the Japanese TV station is a good move.
However, Ai Fukuhara’s tour of commentary may not be smooth. After divorcing Jiang Hongjie, a former table tennis player from Taiwan, China this month, Ai Fukuhara’s image in the hearts of Japanese housewives has fallen to the bottom. A staff member of the Japanese TV station revealed that even if Ai Fukuhara is divorced, there are still many housewife viewers rejecting her. In addition, the Tokyo Olympics is a commercial broadcast and sponsors have concerns. Therefore, they think that there will not be many variety shows or TV stations looking for Fukuhara. Ai, even thinks that there are many athletes who can replace Ai Fukuhara to explain in the Olympic special program.
The staff also suggested that if Ai Fukuhara wants to return to TV, she can choose to switch to funny shows, such as TV Asahi “Fantasy Showdown I am the King of Sports.” Ai Fukuhara has participated in the show many times, and the relationship with the show team is still good after retiring. If she thinks that she can start again through there, it is one of the few who can achieve a win-win situation.
In fact, whether Ai Fukuhara participates or not, the table tennis competitions at the Tokyo Olympics are destined to be popular. As the host, Japan has made remarkable progress in table tennis in recent years. The woman Mima Ito and the man Tomokazu Zhang are both good. The direct PK between Chinese and Japanese table tennis players in the Olympic arena is likely to have a significant impact on the trend of the Sino-Japanese Olympic gold medal match.
