The existence of Youth Olympic Games is not only to cultivate young people, but also to cure the society with their initial heart. Tears of youth are a gift from the Youth Olympic Games to the adult world, which will only be especially precious because of sincerity and purity.

regular time goes to the last second, in the group match of the men’s three-to-three basketball match of the Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires, the Chinese team and the Turkmen team played 14:14 draw. Entering the tense overtime match, the Chinese team added a backbasket hit, and then he succeeded in fighting the basket. At 16:14, the Chinese team won the game (note: 1 point per ball in three point line)!
Wipe away sweat, take clothes, accept interviews, and take a photo with the team leader and coaches. The boys of the Chinese team relaxed down, and the winning hero added his back to the people sitting on the concrete steps, with his head deeply buried in his arms.
After a while, everyone realized that the big boy was crying.
In most cases, this does not seem to be the way to express the joy of victory. With a little confusion, everyone stepped forward and Wen Yan comforted.
“The end of the first game should not be cast.” Add a wipe of tears.
What happened in the first scene? In the game two hours before the killing of the Turkmen team, the Chinese team started well, but it was overshot by the Slovenian team in the middle. At 18:20, the other side dropped in and ended the game.
In such a situation, someone has to shoot, and no one has the confidence to enter. Besides, the first two teams of three-person basketball are in the top eight in each group. These two teams will win and lose, and there will be opportunities in the next two group matches.
“Did you win the second game because of your two shots?” Someone asked the questions everyone wanted to ask. His answer made people feel a little uncomfortable. “I will feel more uncomfortable if I don’t score that kind of ball.”
The tears that have endured for a long time are for the last game, or after killing the opponent in this game. There is no official medal list for this youth Olympic Games, and this team did not come to Argentina with the pressure of ranking. Such tears just feel that they can do better. This kind of frank expression may only belong to the Youth Olympic Games.
The charm of sports lies in the pursuit of faster, higher and stronger, as well as the stirring human emotions. From the Olympic Games to professional leagues, in more and more competitions, the athletes’ words are carefully packaged by business, and their emotions are deeply hidden due to various concerns, which inevitably makes this charm discounted.
The same is true of adult society. Happiness is often reserved and even collapse is cautious. People raise the threshold of their emotions, but they often lose the ability to embrace the world. The existence of Youth Olympic Games is not only to cultivate young people, but also to cure the society with their initial heart. The tears of youth are a gift from the Youth Olympic Games to the adult world. It will not appear cheap because of frequent appearance, but will only appear especially precious because of sincerity and purity.
