Chapter 1326 - Olympic Games

George Walton's face was changing from dark to bright.

This was not because of his personal interests. His family business has been booming in recent years, and his assets have increased by more than ten times.

He has considerable industries in China and Southeast Asia.

Even this crisis did not affect his family business. In addition to the full order schedule, a very important reason was that a considerable part of the rescue funds flowed to his family business.

Even if it was only 1% or 2%, it would be enough to make a living.

He was more concerned about the national interests of the United States. After all, as the helmsman, George Walton had to consider his reputation after his death.

Back then, after 9/11, his poll approval rate hit a new high, and the public approval rate soared to more than 90%. He quickly stabilized the situation after the incident and successfully mobilized the people across the country in his subsequent speeches.

However, as time went on, his approval rate gradually declined due to the delay in the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq.

Now, his poll approval rate is less than 40%!

But as Liu Tao said, since there is no progress, why not take advantage of the last days to make a fortune.

After all, he only has a few months left in this position.

After struggling for a while, George Walton smiled as if he had figured it out, and his mood suddenly became very good.

The atmosphere became much more relaxed during the exchange between the two.

The two talked and laughed while eating and watching the Olympic Games.

In the next few days, Liu Tao mainly received envoys or heads of state from various countries.

Although he was very dissatisfied with the small actions of Saudi Arabia and other countries last year, Liu Tao was still very satisfied with some of their performance and sincerity this year. Whether it was the amount of donations or the dispatch of rescue teams, Liu Tao still received these sincerity.

Moreover, for the Arab world, the general strategy is to appease and support, even if the Arab world really achieves integration and becomes a pole of the world, it is not unacceptable.

As for Persia, it also appeased and even agreed to increase the import of oil and natural gas from Persia.

Last year, when oil prices rose, China National Petroleum Corporation released a large amount of strategic reserve oil to suppress oil prices. Now that oil prices are low, it is natural to import oil to fill the reserve oil depot.

His interview at the beginning of the year was just a fire. If you want to increase the production of shale oil, it will not happen overnight, but it will take time.

However, for some countries, they will naturally not import so much oil and natural gas.

In addition to receiving guests, Liu Tao also took his wife and children to watch the Olympic Games on site.

For example, men's basketball games, women's volleyball games, women's diving games, women's swimming games, and tennis games.

In the past, because it was not suitable to go abroad to watch the Olympic Games, I missed it regretfully, but this time it was held at home, so there was naturally no problem.

He personally saw Liu Yingqing win five golds and one silver in one fell swoop, shining in the Beijing Olympics. He also saw the bloody battle between the Chinese men's basketball team and the American men's basketball team. When the leaders of the two countries watched the game on site, they presented a peak duel to the world. In the end, they won the gold medal with Liu Jingming's buzzer-beater, but the price was heavy. Yao Ming's huge body crashed to the ground while trying to save the ball, injuring his foot.

He saw the tennis star Liu Qing'an and Liu Manhua, who won three gold medals in singles and mixed doubles, and set a new record for Chinese tennis in the Olympics. Their struggles and honors in the tennis court over the years have played a vital role in the promotion of tennis in China. Now at the age of 25, they can fight for another Olympic cycle.

He attended the women's table tennis singles final, the peak duel between Wang Nan and Zhang Yining, two great women's table tennis demons. This duel can be called the highest level of the women's table tennis singles final in the Olympic Games.

After the first generation of the big devil, the ‘table tennis queen’ Deng Yaping, was injured and other reasons, Wang Nan rose rapidly and took over Deng Yaping’s class and became the second generation of the big devil. She also defeated Zhang Yining in major competitions several times. Zhang Yining won the gold medal in the 2004 Athens Olympics and became the new big devil, but she still lost to Wang Nan in the competition. This time will be the peak showdown between the two, because they will retire after the Olympics.

Liu Tao is a fan of both of them and has been watching their games. In terms of talent, Wang Nan is naturally better. But in terms of being ruthless to herself, Zhang Yining is more ruthless to herself, with both offense and defense, and both offense and defense are extremely outstanding.

In this women's table tennis singles, both defeated their opponents and met in the finals.

Before the Beijing Olympics began, Wang Nan was full of infinite desire. She was particularly eager to participate in the Beijing Olympics and stand on the highest podium of the women's singles competition. Before the game, Wang Nan worked hard enough, although she was at the end of her career at that time and her competitive state was no longer as good as before. However, in order to realize her dream, she tried her best, trained hard, and continued to improve, determined to do her best.

In an interview before the game, she told the media that this was her last Olympics and the last time she would participate in the competition. She would retire after the Olympics, thus blocking all her retreat routes.

Zhang Yining, the world's No. 1 female table tennis player, is truly at the peak of her powers. She is eager to stand on the highest podium of the women's singles competition at the Beijing Olympics, because this is at home and she is a Beijing native. Even though she joined the Panshan Sports Team very early, she still longs for this gold medal. And she is also eager to defeat her biggest competitor, Wang Nan, so that her career will have no regrets and a perfect end.

So in an interview before the game, Zhang Yining also announced that this was her last Olympics and she would retire after the Beijing Olympics. She also did not leave herself any way out.

In the 16-9-1 book-1 bar, there is no wrong version!

In the game, Wang Nan played well enough and defeated one powerful competitor after another. In the semi-finals, facing the impactful junior Guo Yue, Wang Nan turned the tide and successfully defeated Guo Yue and bravely entered the women's singles final. Zhang Yining was also in very good shape, showing her strength and dominance as the world's No. 1 female table tennis player, defeating powerful opponents one by one without any suspense. Even the Japanese genius girl Ai Fukuhara was defeated and cried non-stop, which made people feel pity.

In the women's singles final, Wang Nan played very sharply at the beginning. In Zhang Yining's words, at the beginning, Wang Nan's ball was as powerful as a boy, which caught Zhang Yining off guard. However, as the game progressed, Wang Nan failed to continue the domineering performance in the first game, and Zhang Yining won 4 games in a row and successfully reversed.

As Zhang Yining said, "Unless Wang Nan wins 4 games in a row, otherwise, let me win 1 game, I will have the confidence to reverse.", and she did it.

After Wang Nan lost, she was sad and cried alone, crying with tears in her eyes, and her tears were full of many reluctances and regrets.

But she knew that losing is losing!

And Zhang Yining, who won the championship after defeating Wang Nan, also cried. When she ran over to hug her parents, they were all tears of happiness. She also bid farewell to the audience with tears in her eyes, and she was no longer seen in the women's singles competition.

In the subsequent women's team, they successfully defended their titles!

Zhang Yining won the Olympic singles championship again, and became the Olympic double champion again, becoming the athlete with the most table tennis gold medals in the history of the Olympics.

Zhang Yining won a total of 19 world championships in the three major competitions, surpassing Deng Yaping. For her, her athletic career is perfect.

Wang Nan and Zhang Yining, the only two Grand Slam winners in the current women's table tennis world, met again in the Olympic women's singles final after years of competition in the table tennis world. This is also the ultimate battle for hegemony between the two generations of "table tennis queens" after years of competition. They contributed a peak duel to the audience, which made people scream and left countless memories.

The two people's ten-year competition for hegemony wrote the history of women's table tennis domination. The two big demons are legendary enough! (End of this chapter)
