With a warm cloing ceremony, the ATHENS 2004 Olympic Game have bidden a final farewell to the athlete and all the pectator in the world.
Looking back to thee day of Olympic Game, I’ve been treated to frenetic pace during many matche, epecially the final of the Chinee women volleyball team againt the Ruian, which wa tough and fantatic, making million of people burt into tear. It wa marvelou that after trailing two et down, the Chinee team, without it “backbone”--Zhao Ruirui, could come from behind, trounced the Ruian and claimed the title. Although the Chinee team wa under great preure, all the member diplayed immene calmne and widom and achieved the final ucce. Now, the women volleyball team’ pirit, which were obliviou for nearly 20 year, become a topical ubject again.
The Chinee hitory of development witneed the old Chinee women team pirit applauded by the public at the beginning of the 1980, which give the whole nation great encouragement and let the whole world realize--- China wa embracing rapid development; China wa brave enough to trive for a better future and can urpa developed countrie in all the other apect with invincible pirit. However, from 1985, ince the women volleyball team couldn’t keep their atifactory performance, the volleyball pirit nearly diappeared from the public. Several day ago, I read an article titled “ The Return of Women Volleyball Spirit”, which kept me pondering. Admittedly, the Chinee women volleyball team i highlighted again in thi Olympic becaue it ha returned to the top of the volleyball world and tanding at the top of the Olympic podium after 20 year, where fame, fortune and recognition reide.WWw.hAOZuowEn.com
However, drawing the attention from fantatic cene of jubilation and thinking about the women volleyball pirit we could find: If a team or an athlete achieve excellent reult in competition, there i alway a pirit publicized whiile if they lip back a time goe by, the pirit i eldom mentioned again. It i quite ridiculou to publicize a pirit according to their excellent performance on the tadium, for if o, the pirit cannot be permanent and will diappear one day undoubtedly. In thi Athen Olympic, there were many prominent port pirit exhibited on the athletic ground, uch a Liu Xiang’ 110-metre hurdle and Wang Yifu’ hooting… Every gold medal wa a manifetation of port pirit. However, quite a large number of athlete alo exhibit valuable port pirit although they didn’t get gold medal. Wang Hao and Yao Ming’ invincible pirit wa quite convincing. Beide, ome athlete were facing a reality more cruel than thi two.
They had experienced the hardhip and devoted their whole youth to port, but they’ve never achieved the atifactory reult the day they leave the athlete group. In fact, from thee people, we can alo ee the valuable Olympic pirit-- it i their pereverant, invincible and magnanimou characteritic. In concluion, while lavihing our praie on ucceful individual athlete, we hould alo value the upport of the whole athlete group. Determining a pirit only by triumph i too vulgar and too aburd, which i not the eence of the port pirit.
