Chapter 897 Protest Wave (Fourth Update)

In front of the office of the London Olympic Organizing Committee, more and more people gathered. At first, those who came out of the Olympic Velodrome, and then those who were watching TV at home, and those who had just got off work, gradually gathered here.

As night fell, more and more people gathered here. Many people gave up watching the live broadcast of the Olympic Games tonight and came here.

The media reporters have already heard the news. Not only did they bring all kinds of long guns and short guns, they even drove over with the OB van.

Not only local journalists from the UK, but journalists from all over the world showed up here to dig out the big news, they went deep into the crowd and started interviewing.

"We lost seven gold medals before, and just now, we lost our eighth gold medal. All of this was caused by Sebastian, and he needs to be responsible for it!" A middle-aged man said to the camera .

"Wiggins lost, Kenny lost, Brownlee lost, and now even Sir Hoy lost. This should have been the British gold medal. This is a completely unnecessary loss for the British team! It's because of Sebastian, his personal grievances with Zhang Guan have harmed the interests of our UK! He is no longer qualified to be the chairman of the London Olympic Organizing Committee!" A man who looked less than twenty The year-old youth spoke.

"Sebastian is the sinner of Britain. London waited 64 years for another Olympic Games, but Sebastian Ai messed up this Olympic Games. He must step down immediately! "It was a woman who spoke.

"Look at the results we have achieved in this Olympic Games. It is not as good as the previous one. This is our home field! The performance of the host athletes in the Olympic Games hosted by ourselves is getting worse and worse. The culprit of all this It's Sebastian! I really don't understand how he still has the face to stay as the chairman of the London Olympic Organizing Committee, he should have resigned long ago!"

Many British people have been dissatisfied with Sebastian for a long time, but they have been holding it in their hearts and have not vented it. Hoy's loss of the game has obviously become a fuse, igniting the emotions of the whole of Britain.

Until late at night, the protesting crowd had not dispersed. The nightlife of Londoners is relatively rich, especially in summer. It is normal for many young people to play until two or three o'clock in the morning, so these protesting people persisted until after two o'clock in the morning before gradually dispersing.

But early the next morning, they showed up again at the office of the London Olympic Organizing Committee.

...

The large-scale protests of London citizens appeared in the media all over the world the next day.

The most exciting thing is the French media. Reuters directly moved this protest incident to the front page headlines. They are trying their best to tell the world how failed the London Olympic Games are. The French felt that the British used improper means to hack two gold medals in the cycling and rowing events. Now that there is such a good opportunity for revenge, how can they not make good use of it.

In addition to the French media, the media in Germany, Spain, Italy and other countries did not give positive reports. Several major sports powers in Europe have competed with each other in the previous Olympic Games, and they are happy to see the British deflated.

The American media should be relatively friendly, anyway, the United Kingdom and the United States have always worn the same pair of pants.

And Sebastian is under increasing pressure. Now Sebastian is like a frightened bird every moment.

On August 9, the second day after the cycling competition, Chris Hoy officially announced his retirement!

In fact, Hoy is 36 years old this year, and he should have reached the age of retirement, but at this time, Hoy's retirement has given many media different interpretations.

"Sir Hoy must have lost the game, and he chose to retire out of frustration!"

"It's a pity. I won't be able to see Sir Hoy on the field again in the future."

"It's too sudden! I didn't expect that yesterday afternoon's game would be Sir Hoy's last swan song on the field, and it would be Sir Hoy's curtain call!"

"I think Sir Howy must be full of regrets! Yesterday afternoon, he could have won a gold medal, but now, he can only leave the arena with a silver medal. This will definitely be a lifetime of regret!"

"It's Sebastian who ruined the flag of our British athletes!"

Hoy has accumulated countless loyal fans in the UK for more than ten years, and now, because of Hoy's sudden retirement, those loyal fans have also joined the protest army.

...

On the evening of August 10, Zhang Guan ushered in the semi-finals of the boxing event.

Zhang Guan's opponent is the gold medalist of the last event, Italian star Roberto Camarele.

Camarele's skills are very good. He is definitely one of the best players in the world in amateur competitions. He has also won gold or silver medals many times in important competitions such as the World Championships and European Championships.

It's just that Camarele has never entered the professional boxing world. Moreover, he is 32 years old this year. For a heavyweight boxer, it is unlikely that he will switch to professional boxing again.

It is difficult for people who have never played professional boxing to appreciate the cruelty of professional boxing. Perhaps in terms of technique, the top players in amateur boxing do not look much worse than professional boxers, but in terms of the lethality of their fists, they are far from the same.

Amateur boxing has protective gear, so it is difficult to knock down opponents, and amateur boxers also pursue effective hits, because each effective hit can get one point.

What professional boxing pursues is lethality. Those who can knock out their opponents in one round will definitely not delay until the second round.

This difference in the lethality of fists was also brought into the game by the two players.

In the first round of the contest, although the score of the two sides was 3 to 3, the feelings of the two are completely different now. Camarele's three effective hits did not cause too much damage to Zhang Guan, but Zhang Guan's three effective hits made Camarele's whole heart tremble. Camarele was even worried that he would spit out a mouthful of old blood.

At this time, Camarele already felt that this match could not go on any longer. If he received two more punches, he would definitely be carried away on a stretcher.

The boxer is not a character we control in games. If you play games, you can continue to fight alive and kicking if you lose half of your blood in one move. But in reality, after receiving a heavy punch from a professional boxer, let alone jumping around, it is good not to hit 120, let alone continue to fight.

What's more, Zhang Guan's fists are still Tyson's level of heavy punches. An amateur player like Camarele, after receiving three punches, his whole body feels like he is about to fall apart. Down 50% of the usual combat power.

"I admit defeat!" The champion of the last Olympic Games announced his surrender at the beginning of the second round.

Zhang Guan also successfully advanced to the boxing final.

...

At the prime minister's residence in Downing Street, several politicians were gathering to discuss this matter.

"Buckingham Palace called this morning to pay attention to this matter. Your Majesty hopes to get a satisfactory result." The Prime Minister looked at the people around the long table, and then said: "This Olympic Games, we have done very well. It didn’t go well. As you all know, the French took us to the international court for the scandal a few days ago. This has greatly affected the relationship between us and France, and it is even about to turn into a diplomatic incident! Now, even the people are venting their grievances."

An old man snorted coldly: "It's not just that it's not going well. Now other countries are saying that the London Olympics is the most failed Olympic Games in history! The Olympic Games was originally held to challenge the strength of our British Empire to the world, but now? The face of our British Empire is about to be lost!"

"Someone needs to stand up and take responsibility for this!" A short-haired woman next to her said, "The chairman of the London Olympic Committee should take the blame and resign!"

"Sebastian is, after all, the biggest contributor to London's Olympic bid. Would it be too cruel to ask him to resign before the London Olympics is over?" a man wearing glasses asked.

"Sebastian is responsible for the success of London's Olympic bid, but we have made him the chairman of the London Olympic Committee." Ann has done a lot of work, but everything he does should be to make the London Olympics better, not what it is now, and I hear new scandals almost every day!"

"And we must respect public opinion. Just look at those protesting people on the street. They only stood there for two days, and it has spread all over the world. Some people think that we have failed to host an Olympic Games in the UK! If If they continue to stay, the whole world will continue to see the jokes of the British Empire! Everyone, for the benefit of the British Empire, Sebastian should resign as soon as possible!" The short-haired woman spoke decisively, quite like the "Iron Lady" Margaret Thatcher style.

The woman's words attracted the approval of many people.

"Can't we wait any longer? The London Olympics still has two days left!" The man wearing glasses wanted to intercede for Sebastian again.

"Wait another two days? Do you wish that when we hold the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, the scene will be full of protest slogans?" the short-haired woman asked back.

The man wearing glasses suddenly fell into silence.

If there was a protest at the closing ceremony, it should be really embarrassing!

Therefore, Sebastian must resign as soon as possible!
