Embarrassing! Over 100 Paris Olympic Medals Returned, While the Gold Content of Beijing's "Gold-inlaid Jade" Medals Continues to Rise The French Olympics, which have already concluded, continue to be a source of embarrassment. In contrast, the "gold-inlaid jade" medals from China's 2008 Beijing Olympics have returned to public attention in a unique way, with the "gold content" of these medals still on the rise. For the performance of the medals at the Paris Olympics in France, one can't help but question whether it is appropriate to do so for the sake of "environmental protection." Now, more than 100 Olympic medals have been returned... The "gold-wrapped iron" that is embarrassing As the world's largest comprehensive sports event, it not only showcases the style of athletes but also tests the strength of the host country. However, over 100 medals have now appeared with serious oxidation and have been returned by the athletes, which is undoubtedly a slap in the face for France. The Olympic gold medal, as the highest honor in the sports world, carries the efforts and struggles of countless athletes. However, the initial champions actually received silver medals instead of gold medals. Since Pierre de Coubertin founded the modern Olympic Games in 1896, the first modern Olympics was held in Athens, Greece. Gold was considered inconsistent with the ancient Olympic spirit, so only the top two finishers in each event could receive medals, that is, silver and bronze medals. The first gold medal was actually born at the third Olympics held in the United States in 1904. It was the…

"Team has no hope," said Beijing men's basketball head coach Xu Limin after a crushing 27-point loss to Beikong. This statement likely chilled the hearts of many fans and players. The score of 102 to 129 was not just a simple loss but felt like an announcement that the entire season's efforts had been wasted. What does it mean when a coach openly expresses such despair after a game? How much hope is left for Beijing men's basketball? The game speaks for itself, and Beijing's loss exposed clear problems: their defense was truly terrible! Opponents Beikong's Salinge and Chen Guohao combined for 52 points and 22 rebounds. What does this mean? It means that Beijing's interior defense was completely torn apart, leaving gaping holes. Looking back, when Zhou Qi joined Beijing, many believed the team's frontcourt had made a qualitative leap due to his height, defensive awareness, and experience. But now? Without Zhou Qi, the entire interior defense crumbled. Xu Limin's arrangement of Fan Ziming and Qiu Tian did not plug the gaps; instead, they became a "paper wall" easily overrun by Beikong players. This game not only chilled fans with the statistics but also instilled a deep unease - this is a team that can't defend at all! After all, "the opponent's offense is flourishing, yet you don't even have a decent defense to slow them down." Does that make sense? Poor defense is one thing, but the offense was also chaotic and incomprehensible. Watching the game, many fans couldn't help but complain, feeling that Beijing had no clear…

In the summer of 2008, Beijing was filled with joy as Chen Xialia won the championship, lifting the spirits of the nation. However, eight years later, she was stripped of her gold medal due to the use of banned substances. So, how did this gold medal become tainted? From a barren village to the pinnacle of the Olympics At the age of nine, Chen Xialia entered the sports school life, undergoing intense training in horse stance, tightly gripping a weighted bamboo pole to maintain balance, a painful experience that only she could truly understand. Initially, she had a thin physique and appeared weak. The intensity of the training clearly exceeded her limits, leading everyone to believe that she would soon give up. However, things gradually changed. Her physical fitness began to improve, and her movements became increasingly proficient. This contrasted sharply with her initial performance, leaving coaches and peers in disbelief. They never expected that this seemingly fragile girl could burst forth with such astonishing strength and endurance. But it cannot be denied that teenage girls yearn for slender figures, yet weightlifting training made her stronger and stronger. This body type, which contradicts mainstream social aesthetics, filled her heart with contradictions and self-doubt. Is it worth continuing on this arduous path of weightlifting? Just as she was about to give up, the Bayi Team extended an olive branch to her. After joining the Bayi Team, she faced even greater challenges and pressures. Thus, she began to train even harder, striving to overcome the numerous difficulties in both body and mind.…

It is a shame that 100 medals from the Paris Olympics have been returned due to severe discoloration and oxidation issues. This news has caused widespread mockery from around the world. The medals were made primarily of recycled metals, which are less stable and more prone to oxidation. Additionally, the paint used on the medals was changed for environmental reasons, but this new paint had not been adequately tested, leading to further problems. The Paris Organizing Committee's focus on environmentalism may have come at the cost of medal quality, disappointing athletes who worked hard to earn them. In contrast, the gold medals from the Beijing Olympics, known for their "gold inlay jade," continue to maintain their value and quality. These medals were designed with durability in mind, featuring an invisible protective layer that prevents damage from falls or wear. Even the ribbons on the medals are crafted with unique Chinese techniques, as evidenced by a Russian athlete whose Beijing Olympic medal survived a house fire unscathed. The attention to detail and commitment to quality in the Beijing Olympics reflect the Chinese spirit of craftsmanship and dedication to excellence.

Beijing Beikong defeats Beijing BAIC! The truth is finally revealed, making it clearer than ever! Netizens have pointed out incisively that Beijing BAIC Shougang men's basketball team has players like Zhai Xiaochuan who shakes his head and nods, Fang Shuo who dominates the ball until the last few seconds before dealing with it, Qiu Tian who is clumsy, Fan Ziming who is out of breath, and Lei Meng who is restless. It seems almost certain that they have no future! Zhou Qi's old injury, Xiao Zeng's cold, and Big Eyes' ankle sprain have given Xu Limin some face, but even so, how can he continue coaching after such a performance? Waiting for the New Year? BAIC mainly relies on domestic players to win games, and their three foreign players are not very good. With the absence of four key players, their performance has dropped by two levels. It is understandable that Beijing lost to Beikong due to injuries affecting the players' participation, but I hope it doesn't affect the morale of the whole team, and I wish the injured players a speedy recovery! Beikong's three foreign players are top-level in the league, so it's only natural that BAIC lost today. However, Old Min returned to his former team and didn't seem to be in a good mood. In the fourth quarter, when Beijing had already given up with an all-Chinese lineup, Beikong still played their full squad, showing no respect for Old Xu. Beikong has two major frontcourt players, Shen Zijie and Salinger, as well as Chen Guohao, a mobile…

The True Reasons Behind Beijing Beikong's Big Win Over Beijing BAIC Men's Basketball Team! Perhaps Xu Limin Never Intended to Win My name is Daikoku. Thank you for your continued attention. On the road of creation, I am grateful for your company. I will continue to work hard! Beijing Beikong's big win over Beijing BAIC men's basketball team has sparked heated discussions among netizens, who pointed out incisively and vividly that in this game, coach Xu Limin might not have intended to win at all. The netizens questioned Xu Limin's coaching strategy, suggesting that he should be replaced, and also criticized the performance of certain players, such as Qiu Tian, who was deemed ineffective both offensively and defensively. They also expressed disappointment in the team's lack of fighting spirit and suggested that the team needs to make changes to their foreign players. Despite the loss, Beijing Shougang's new players performed well, and it was suggested that if the superstar had played the entire game, his turnovers would definitely have been in double digits. It was also suggested that since four main players were absent, the team should change their tactics and give more playing time to players like Omore and Sun Yahui. The netizens felt that coach Xu should reflect on the big defeat, which they believed was disheartening to the fans. They also criticized the team for not showing their best efforts and for not wanting to win, especially in a derby match where the opponent used smoke bombs before the game and still played with their full lineup…

Two days ago, a news story about the Paris Olympic medals topped the trending list, quickly sparking heated discussions among netizens. Olympic medals are supposed to be symbols of infinite honor, yet over 100 have been returned to Paris in disgrace. Some jokingly said that the bronze medal they received resembled a piece of "crocodile skin." Others were more supportive, claiming it wasn't a medal but a hundred-year-old Parisian antique. This caused netizens to exclaim that Paris has truly embarrassed itself this time, with the shame spreading globally. So why are so many medals being returned? If there's anything that can validate an athlete's efforts and achievements, Olympic medals are undoubtedly the most powerful proof. When once-celebrated athletes find themselves in trouble, medals can also serve as a quick way to make money. Athletes who have fought hard for their honors on the field return home only to find their medals rusted. This makes most athletes feel very uncomfortable, leading some to return their rusted medals. This isn't the first time this has happened; soon after the Olympics ended, people started returning their medals. By the 13th, British newspapers reported that over 100 gold medals had been returned. The next day, the international Olympic Committee addressed the issue, stating that all problematic medals would be replaced. Last August, French athletes noticed this phenomenon shortly after receiving their medals, saying they looked "smashed and oxidized." Some medals even began discoloring before the Olympics concluded. Harper mentioned that her bronze medal had lost its luster and was starting to fade. When the…

On January 15th, Beijing time, the regular season match between Beijing Enterprises and Beijing saw both teams with high shooting percentages. However, Beijing Enterprises had the upper hand throughout the game and managed to maintain their lead, ultimately securing a victory with a score of 129-102.

Although his three-point shooting percentage wasn't great, he scored 23 points with a 15-for-9 shooting record, demonstrating a high scoring efficiency and stable output. Chen Guohao emerged as a pleasant surprise. Especially in the second quarter, he provided restraint near the free-throw line. His comprehensive performance in scoring, rebounding, and defense was everywhere, helping the team continuously widen the point difference. Chen Guohao scored 25 points with a 16-for-10 shooting record, becoming the ace in the hole for this game. From this game, it can be seen that as long as he is given enough ball possession, he can perform. Looking at Beijing, two players' explosive performances were quite surprising.
