Eric Shanti, a U.S. swimmer, was born in the United States. Shanti, American swimmers, in order to Phelps led by the U.S. swimming army, his results are not dazzling, but he has gained the respect of the world. Two months ago was found to be suffering from testicular cancer, he still chose to participate in the Olympic Games. In the men's 200-meter breaststroke semifinals he failed to advance, and his Olympic journey ended. Shanti is not remorseful about this and spoke to the media about his thoughts on his trip to Beijing, "I am very happy, even though I didn't win a medal, I came to Beijing and experienced the Olympics and that's enough."
Also, Shanti's father is a cancer patient and is currently undergoing treatment. Shanti said that being sick himself this time has made him better appreciate the pain his father is going through. At the same time, he would like to thank all those who cared for him and helped him. "I will have a long talk with my father and we will have to face the disease with a more positive and optimistic mindset, there is no difficulty that can't be overcome!"
This reminds me, of all things, of the popular video that has been circulating online recently -- Randy? Prof. Bausch's speech, "The Last Lesson," whose words have infected people around the world, "We can't change the cards in our hands, but we can decide how to play them." The Olympic story of athlete Shanti gives us that same inspiration. In the face of illness, and even death, his calm attitude and upward spirit built up the height of his life, and embodied the soul of the Olympic movement, giving us, the viewers, "an added aspiration and emotion in life."
The Iraqi athletes did not have spectacular results in this Olympics, but they got media attention because of their ill-fated fate. First, they were removed from the Beijing Olympics by the International Olympic Committee, when female athlete Dana Hussein moved countless viewers with her tears and pleas to the camera. Later, their dream came true when they secured a last-minute entry ticket to the Beijing Olympics, and the joy of losing and regaining it brought them back to tears. Now, their competition has begun, but the news of "Iraqi athletes competing in their own old T-shirts", "Iraqi female athletes wearing second-hand running shoes for the Olympics" and "Iraqi athletes renting rowing boats for the competition " stories still stirred up a lot of sympathy among viewers.
But Dana Hussein is less ashamed of herself than we might think, "I definitely wish I could have a new pair of designer running shoes, but I've been lucky to get the opportunity to come to Beijing for the Olympics." She went on to say, "From the first day I practiced running, I've aspired to be in the Olympics one day. Now that my dream will come true on August 16, I'm really excited."
Will an athlete who has dreamed of stepping onto the Olympic track since he was a child care about a pair of old or new running shoes when he is about to stand in the Bird's Nest Stadium to compete with the world's best? This is the power of dreams and the hope they bring to mankind.
......
Athletes have physical strength and athletic skills beyond our reach, but they also have the heartbreak, optimism, pursuit and dreams of ordinary people.
What they have to deal with may be what we have to deal with, and their stories are ours.

Zhu Qinan confessed that he was carrying a lot of pressure when the host announced, "The silver medalist is Zhu Qinan, China!" The whole audience stood up and gave the warmest applause. Zhu Qinan, who stood in the runner-up position, could no longer restrain his emotion, and he waved tears of gratitude despite everything.
Behind Zhu Qinan is a little-known road of hardship. He was born into a poor family, and in the view of his father, Zhu Yuan, studying was the only way to change his fate. So, when the boy reached school age, he came with his parents to the "big city" of Wenzhou, with a little money borrowed. At that time, his father, Zhu Yuanyou, sold fruits and worked as a laborer, and his mother, Xie Aifang, cooked for other people and lived in a rented room with very poor conditions. In this environment, Zhu Qinan was particularly thin due to malnutrition. He never asked adults for anything, and his only toy was a toy gun given to him by his father when he was 5 years old. "It cost 18 dollars, and there were eight different sounds in one ****, and it would go off when you pressed it. Later that gun was broken by my little nephew, and Zhu Qinan even cried sadly once at that time." Xie Aifang said so.
It was this toy gun that started Zhu Qinan's interest in shooting. By the second half of the first semester, the coach of the Wenzhou City Amateur Sports School took a liking to the hyperactive Zhu Qinan. The end of the gun, aiming, pulling the trigger ...... such action makes Zhu Qinan obsessed. In Wenzhou City, a competition Zhu Qinan won the championship, which allowed him to enter the provincial team. 2003, for the first time to participate in the National City Games Zhu Qinan showed a strong psychological quality and stable technical level, successfully won the championship. With the increase of the number of participation and the number of gold medals, Zhu Qinan entered the national team. But no one thought that Zhu Qinan would be selected to represent China to participate in the Olympic Games, and what is more amazing is that he really stood on the Olympic podium. Four years after Athens, Zhu Qinan continued to train hard to achieve his goal of defending his title at the Beijing Olympics. Zhu Qinan is usually "sitting and leaving" every time he comes home.
After losing his gold medal, Zhu confessed: "I've been in a state of anxiety and confusion since I started living in the Olympic village. Wanted to go and win too much, and I understand that I can't hit this gold medal as the defending champion, but it's really not easy to really leave it all behind."

Xu Sowetina's eldest son, Alyosha, was diagnosed with leukemia in 2002, and because of the high cost of treatment, Xu Sowetina's family, which is not well off, could not afford to pay, so she chose to come back to the competition because "a gold medal at the World Championships is equal to 3,000 euros in prizes, and this is the only way I can do it," Xu Sowetina said. That was the only way I could do it," said Hsu. In order to compete in as many events as possible and to have a chance at the prize money, Hsu Sowetina would enter all four gymnastics events each time. For the sake of her son, she has been working on her all-around game since she was 26 years old. The old Chinese saying "A mother's love is better than heaven's" suits Xu Sowetina very well. At present, her son's condition has improved and he only needs to undergo regular checkups, so Xu Sowetina finally breathes a sigh of relief, she said, "I compete, no longer for the prize money, but I really love this sport. There is nothing more lovely in this world."
