Chapter 214 The Embarrassing and Deserted Opening Ceremony
It is conceivable that an elite sportsman like Neelkin will face overwhelming honors after his success. Naturally, she would not take these small compliments from Tang Huan to heart, and she just said them very politely. A word of thanks.

Nelkin's father is Korean and her mother is Tatar, so compared to her teammates next to her, she has an oriental face.

In addition, Nelkin's road to success is quite inspirational. Her gymnastics talent is not very good, and she didn't even have enough flexibility at first. On the contrary, her younger sister who participated in the training together looks even better.

However, with hard work, Nelligin soon became the best gymnast in Kazakhstan at that time.

In the last Montreal Olympics, Nelligin and Nadia Comaneci, who was only 14 years old at the time, both scored 10 points and almost shared all the gold medals, becoming the two most dazzling stars.

After getting married in 1977, Nelikin moved from Kazakhstan to Belarus. She should be 23 years old this year and has passed her peak stage as an athlete. This will be the last Olympic Games she can participate in as an athlete.

Feeling that Nelkin was a little older, it should be more convenient to speak, so Tang Huan chatted with the other party a few more words.

In fact, this was also the case. Compared with her companions who were several years younger, Nelikin behaved more quietly. While others rushed to operate the game console, she just admired it.

After a while, the team leader called away these athletes who were going crazy.Tang Huan checked the time, and he was about to attend the opening ceremony of the upcoming Olympic Games.

After having lunch and taking a short rest, Tang Huan entered the Lenin Central Stadium, which can accommodate more than 10 spectators, through a special passage with other invited people according to the arrangement of the Soviet Union.

The weather was not so good today, and the Soviet Union had to dispatch 6 planes to spray chemicals in the clouds to disperse the dark clouds floating over the stadium.

Because he had a deep impression of the 2008 BJ Olympics in his previous life, Tang Huan had a good idea of ​​the various activities at the opening ceremony of this Olympics. These processes are basically passed down in one continuous line, and now they can be reversed. .

对于这一届奥运会举行时间的安排，苏联方面煞费苦心地定为7月19日至8月3日，恰好与1952年赫尔辛基奥运会会期相吻合。

The month and day of the two sessions are exactly the same, which is the only time in the history of the Olympic Games.

The 15th Helsinki Olympic Games was the first time for the Soviet Union to participate in the Olympic Games. It is self-evident that the coincidence of the two sessions is not a historical coincidence, but a careful arrangement by the organizing committee, which symbolizes that the development of the Soviet Olympic Movement has entered a new period.

The time soon reached two o'clock in the afternoon, and the party and government leaders of the Soviet Union, as well as the main officials of the Olympic Committee, were all in place one after another, and the opening ceremony was about to begin officially.

Tang Huan glanced at Brezhnev in the distance, and suddenly felt emotional.

Yugoslavia's Tito just passed away in May, ending his 5-year rule.

According to the historical development, Brezhnev, who put his predecessor Khrushchev under house arrest, would also die in 1982.

This is an era of great change.

Although the organizers of the last 1976 Montreal Olympics used modern science and technology ingeniously to transmit the Olympic spark by satellite, which was amazing for a while, but this approach was later criticized.

Because the original purpose of passing the torch in the traditional way is to spread the Olympic ideals and spirit around the world, but the Canadian practice has lost its original meaning.

Therefore, according to the decision of the International Olympic Committee, the traditional way was restored this time, and the torch relay was carried out.

It was Viktor Saneyev, the three-time Olympic triple jump champion of the Soviet Union who carried the torch into the Central Stadium. After running around the field for a week, he handed over the torch to Sergey Belov, a famous Soviet basketball player. The mission to light the flame on the tower.

Brezhnev, the head of the Soviet Union, announced the opening of the Olympic Games. On behalf of the athletes, Vladimir Andrianov, the former Soviet gymnastics star, took the oath. On behalf of the referees and officials, the famous Soviet athlete and three-time Olympic wrestling champion took the oath. Alexander Medved.

Tang Huan secretly yawned and cast his eyes on the mascot of the Moscow Olympic Games, a bear named Misha. solitary.

I remember that at the closing ceremony of the current Olympic Games in a previous life, the organizers would make Misha look like he had a tear in his eye, which was extremely sensational.

History always likes to repeat. In the future, Putin will make the Sochi Winter Olympics, and the scene will be similar to the embarrassment like this one, but the degree will not be so serious.
As the planner and organizer of this joint boycott of the Moscow Olympics, U.S. President Carter has been very busy and has done a lot of work.

In line with official U.S. policy, the U.S. Olympic Committee voted to forego participation in the Moscow Olympics.

In order to appease the protests and tears of the American Olympic athletes, the US Olympic Committee awarded each athlete a commemorative gold medal. Carter also specially invited all members of the Olympic delegation to the White House.

However, some countries that also support the boycott movement, such as France, allow athletes to decide whether to participate in the Moscow Olympics.

When the athletes entered the arena, Tang Huan discovered the embarrassment.

Since 1956, the least number of countries has participated in the Olympic Games. A total of 80 countries have come, and many participating countries only send one flag bearer and enter the venue with the Olympic flag instead of the national flag.

As for the participating athletes, there are more than 5000 people, of which the Soviet Union has the most.

It is an exaggeration that Cuba, which is far away across the ocean, sent a huge team consisting of 239 male and female athletes.

There are also more than 5000 journalists participating in the coverage of this competition. After careful calculation, the total number is even more than that of participating athletes.

Especially in the handover ceremony of the Olympic flag, because Canada belongs to the ranks of boycotting countries, the mayor of Montreal, the last host city, only sent a representative to hand over the Olympic flag to Moscow.

All of these naturally dilute the warm atmosphere of the venue.

Tang Huanneng could see a hint of sarcasm and gloating on the face of the person next to him who was also invited, and he couldn't help shaking his head secretly.

Thinking of the low oil price throughout the 1980s, which affected the Soviet economy that relied on exporting energy to earn foreign exchange, this is similar to the methods of attack that Russia, which was deeply involved in the Ukraine crisis in its previous life, encountered.
