Xinhua News Agency, Tokyo, August 7 (Reporters Wang Qinou, Zhang Zewei, Zhou Wanpeng) This Olympic Games is about to end, and this Olympic spectator has made new discoveries: It seems that this athlete loves "Versailles"? Is it helplessness due to being too strong, or is it straightforwardness caused by nature? Is it the "scheming" deliberately showing off, or the sincerity expressed with emotion? Let us review the "Versailles" moment in Tokyo together, suffer "harm" again, and taste the flavors of life soaked in it again.
"Fat Pang Ball" style "Versailles": Invincible, so fearless
mixed doubles regretfully lost gold without affecting the momentum of the "Fat Pang Ball" group in Tokyo. First, the 20-year-old "Olympic recruit" Sun Yingsha defeated the new mixed doubles champion Ito Mima in the women's doubles semi-finals, and said with some remorse, "almost all the points lost are their own mistakes." Next is before the girls' team finals, Chen Meng was asked whether she dared to invite him to play against Mima Ito: "Actually, we can do whatever we can to her." The Dragon team met with "Little Fat" and laughed after the men's singles finals, saying, "It may be the most stress-free game in the world for Fan Zhendong ."

Objectively speaking, Chinese table tennis still occupies a leading position in the international table tennis world, which has also created a generous and tenacious mentality in the face of honor and disgrace. In Tokyo, the "Versailles" shown by countless young athletes also comes from this confidence with hard strength. Isn’t this mentality a surprise brought by the new generation of athletes to the Chinese people?
Fei-style "Versailles": A joke after breaking out of the cocoon and becoming a butterfly
At this Olympics, 23-year-old Zhang Yufei won 2 gold and 2 silvers, becoming the Chinese swimmer with the most medals in the single Olympics. She also rewrites the Olympic record in the 200m butterfly stroke , and worked with her teammates to break the world record in the 4x200m freestyle relay ...
Zhang Yufei claimed to be "very talkative". When she was a child, she could speak for half a day. She also contributed countless golden sentences at this Olympics, especially in the first two shots of the 200m butterfly stroke: preliminaries - "I also slowed down in the second half", and then won the first place; semi-finals - "I didn't use all my strength," and then set a new world's best result this year to win first; until the finals - "Nezha was in trouble five years ago, but it was not a big deal, and this year was successful!" This time, she showed her domineering spirit.

. Who would have thought that in Rio 5 years ago, the "Butterfly Queen" only won sixth place in this event, and even once had a fear of the 200-meter butterfly event. Behind the "Versailles" today is the confidence she has accumulated over the past five years of silent efforts, and the open-mindedness after seeing the scenery of the peaks and valleys. Looking back on the way you came when you break out of your cocoon and become a butterfly, there is naturally a reason to laugh at it.
12-year-old "Versailles": This is not Versailles, this is innocent
Japanese athletes won the gold and silver medal in the women's skateboard bowl pool competition. Sitting on the press conference stage, the 12-year-old runner-up was asked by reporters why Japan is so strong on skateboards? She looked confused: "I don't know..."

Also "Versailles" is the 14-year-old Chinese diving player Quan Hongchan. After setting the record for the highest diving score in the Olympic Games, the new women's 10-meter platform champion was a little at a loss when facing the reporter's question: "I'm not a genius, I'm very stupid, it's okay to just dive. The secret to pressing splashes? I don't know, I haven't seen the size of splashes I dive and dumplings."
In the world of adults, these answers are undoubtedly "Versailles", but in the world of children, these are just my words and my heart. The skateboard girl follows her personal wishes and plays daily games into an Olympic medal, while the full Hongchan is to have no distractions and do something to the extreme.But adults can hear the meaning of "Versailles" by the innocence of a boy. Is it heartbreaking?
"Versailles" that cannot be solved by the gold medal: This is not Versailles, this is sincere
In the women's weightlifting 59kg competition, Chinese Taipei team player Guo Yuchun won the championship with an absolute advantage, but he was "very upset because he did not break the record." At first glance, what is the difference between this and a good student who says he didn’t do well in the exam but ended up being the first? But when you think about it carefully, Guo Yuchun held three world records in this event, and won all the gold medals of the Asian Games , Asian Championships and World Championships. From her perspective, breaking records is a natural goal.

Therefore, some "Versailles" are not Versailles, but the sincere self-reflection of athletes. In this sense, Guo Fuchun, who was unhappy with the gold medal, was the same as Liao Qiuyun, a weightlifter who won the silver medal but lost convincingly, Feng Shanshan, a golf female player who won the eighth but said she had no regrets, and many athletes who had no regrets as long as they stood on the Olympic stage. They walked onto the arena to win, to challenge themselves and to overcome themselves. They are also willing to show their true thoughts to the audience, so that we can have a deeper understanding of the competitive world beyond victory or defeat.
Chinese audience style "Versailles": the troubles of happiness
"Please consider our feelings, I don't know which station is better to watch. Looking at this station, you won the championship on another station; cutting that station, you won the championship on this station again."
This is the ultimate "Versailles" from Chinese audiences. On August 2, the Chinese Legion won 5 gold medals a day, with the total number of gold medals reaching 29 on the same day, surpassing Rio in one fell swoop; Chinese athletes also broke two world records on the same day. The domestic social network comment section has set off a climax of "Versailles" literary creation. Of course, netizens' excitement may have come early, and China's gold-grabbing tide did not stop thereafter. Until August 7 before the closing, the Chinese delegation still topped the gold medal list. In this regard, netizens commented again: "Thanks to Chinese athletes for giving us the confidence of 'Versailles'!"
And netizens should also thank themselves. It is the rationality and relaxation of the public opinion environment that gives athletes room to express their personality. Tokyo Olympics can leave so much joy and insights for everyone.
