Chapter 1173: The sports world's friendly attitude towards Zhang Ye!

Translator: Legge Editor: Legge

The Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games had made an earth-shattering move. A public statement issued by them pushed the entire Beijing Olympics into the public's consciousness. Going by the regulations of this world, the Olympic organizer had the authority to make certain changes to the rules or mete out punishments as they deemed fit. But no one could have expected that they would really enforce it. Even the Americans in their role as the world police had never changed the rules in any of their Olympic events like this. Moreover, this change was even made to the advantage of China itself. This was what made it even more shocking for everyone!

Zhang Yuanqi gave a Like!

Yao Jiancai gave a Like!

Zhang Xia gave a Like too!

There were only cheers throughout the country!

Everyone was overjoyed with this decision!

"This should have been how it was!"

"Yeah, it should have been this way at the beginning!"

"Well changed and well punished!"

"Hahaha, banned for life? Well done!"

"Let's see who still dares to deliberately target us during our Olympics!"

"This is such an important statement! I never expected that our country would do such a shocking thing! Even now, I can't believe this is happening!"

"It happened!"

"It really happened!"

Cheering?

Jumping in joy?

Just these words alone were unable to describe the current feelings of the Chinese people. After suppressing their pent-up anger for a day, they could finally vent it all. They were all flowing with happiness from head to toe! When they were faced with such incorrect calls and deliberate malicious decisions in the past, there was nothing they could do about it. Other than protesting, it was still only protesting. Then what? After that, everything would remain the same. The protests did not change anything. But this time, they were the organizers of the Olympics in Beijing. As the saying goes, every dog has its day. The wheel of fortune keeps on turning. Now that it was China's turn to hold the Olympics, the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games used a world-shocking public statement to inform everyone: This is our take on things!

They could feel a sense of pride!

But at the same time, the foreign media started criticizing the actions!

The English media: "What? What is happening?"

The American media: "The Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games has made a shocking and unacceptable decision!"

The South Korean media: "Strongly protesting the organizers for siding with their own people!"

The Japanese media: "Unbelievable! This is the darkest moment in the history of the Olympics!"

The Australian media: "Banned for life? Changing the medal results?"

People across the world also reacted fiercely!

Especially those in Australia, South Korea, and several other countries!

The Australians.

"Shit cunts!"

"The Chinese are too despicable!"

"How can they handle things this way!"

"Where's the sportsmanship? Where's the Olympic spirit?"

"Unilaterally changing the regulations, an action like this is just too despicable!"

The South Koreans.

"They skipped over the referees and changed the gold medal winner?"

"How could they suspend our weightlifting referee!"

"I'm so mad about this!"

"The Chinese decision has made us furious!"

"It's a conspiracy!"

The Canadians.

"They're abusing their authority to benefit themselves!"

"This decision has an even more negative impact than the referees getting beaten up!"

"What are the Olympics organizers doing!"

"I strongly object to this!"

"This decision is a joke!"

The foreign media and citizens were scolding as well! There was no longer much attention given to the referees being injured in the Olympic venue. The focus of the public's opinion had turned to the statement issued by the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games. Everyone was now discussing and questioning the action it took!

Many of the foreign Olympic delegations and athletes were having none of it as they protested to the International Olympic Committee. The athletes from the Australian delegation were the fiercest in leading the protest and even threatened to collectively withdraw from the Games. Perhaps due to pressure or some other motives, the International Olympic Committee also came forward to declare: "Regarding the organizer's unilateral decision, we hereby express our puzzledness and condemnation of their actions!

When many of the countries' delegations had this statement from the International Olympic Committee to back them up, their criticism became even louder!

However, the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games ignored them and did not withdraw their statement. They even held the make up medal ceremony for the Men's 62 kg weightlifting event the next day before the Olympic events began. In the presence of the media reporters from every country, the Chinese athlete, Li Jiaxi, was awarded the gold medal. Faced with all kinds of pressure from the public's opinion, the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Olympic Games still went about doing things their way. The officials from the Organizing Committee also clearly indicated to the media present that their decision would remain unchanged!

Their decision was set in stone!

Everyone was left helpless by the Beijing Organizing Committee's forceful stance. As they were not the organizers, it did not matter how much they protested or cursed. The final decision on this issue was still up to the organizer at the end!

The Olympics would still continue!

The competition would still go on!

And the Australian delegation was definitely not going to back out from the Games either!

…

That afternoon.

Zhang Ye was humming the song "Beijing Welcomes You" as he walked into the Olympic venue. He was here to return the work pass that he was given previously and to settle the issue of the "accident" involving the referees.

The events held in the morning had already ended while the events scheduled for the afternoon had not begun yet.

Some of the foreign athletes were warming up and practicing. When they saw Zhang Ye, many of them could recognize him!

"Look!"

"It's him!"

"Goddammit!"

"I really want to teach him a lesson!"

A large, muscular Australian swimmer angrily at Zhang Ye. He looked like he wanted to charge at him but was stopped by his teammates!

A group of foreign referees were also glowering at Zhang Ye!

It looked like they were trying to put on a show of force against Zhang Ye?

Zhang Ye ignored them as he slowly walked over.

The Australian and South Korean swim referees continued to stare at him!

Zhang Ye glanced at them and was kind of irritated by their stares. When he walked past them, he suddenly stopped in his tracks and stretched out his leg!

The foreign referees were given a huge scare as they jumped away in fright as though they had gotten their tails stepped on. Everyone saw the video yesterday and had a deep impression of Zhang Ye's "Leg of God." When they saw him stretching out his leg again, they were just like birds getting startled by the mere twang of a bow 1 ! One of the Australian swim referees even tripped over his own feet and fell to the floor!

"What are you doing?"

The referees all looked infuriated!

However, Zhang Ye lowered his head and knelt down to adjust his shoelaces before getting up to walk away.

Tying his shoelaces?

The foreign referees nearly vomited blood. They knew that he did this on purpose and were furious. At the same time, they felt a little embarrassed. He was only tying his shoelaces and did not do anything to them, but they were so scared they nearly shat their pants, with one person even falling to the ground!

Fuck!

This person was too wicked!

Many athletes and referees looked at Zhang Ye and gnashed their teeth in hatred!

How could Lillian, the most beautiful woman in Britain, have performed on the same stage with such a hooligan!

Not far away off in front of him, many Chinese athletes and coaches came face to face with him. When they saw Zhang Ye, they were a little stunned!

Zhang Ye noticed them as well.

Some of them were from the swim team?

Some of them were from the diving team?

Zhang Ye did not say anything and just walked over. He had been locked in a fierce struggle with the sports world during the scolding battle back then. As so many of the athletes and coaches were scolded by him at that time, the relationship between the two sides has always been poor. When Zhang Ye was appointed to perform in the Olympics opening ceremony, many of those from the sports world had protested against it. That was why Zhang Ye did not plan on greeting them. He just pretended not see them as he walked past.

But even though he ignored them, they said something!

A female swimmer smiled as she waved to him. "Professor Zhang."

Zhang Ye was stunned and instinctively replied, "Hey."

Beside her, a diving coach warmly nodded his head at him. "Good afternoon, Teacher Zhang."

"Ah, good afternoon," Zhang Ye said dumbfounded.

"Where are you heading?"

"The police asked me to come and settle yesterday's matter."

"Will you be alright?"

"Hur hur, I'll be fine."

Along the way, as long as a Chinese athlete or coach encountered Zhang Ye, they would greet and acknowledge him. There were even some very enthusiastic athletes who came over to make small talk with him.

Zhang Ye was really unprepared for this.

It seemed like the domestic sports world had suddenly changed their attitude towards him overnight!
