Moiseev retains pentathlon title

Russia's Andrey Moiseev retained his Olympic men's modern pentathlon title in the pouring rain at the Olympic Sports Center Stadium. Moiseev was on top going into the gruelling 3000m after competing in the 10m air pistol, fencing, 200m freestyle swim and showjumping.Lithuania's Edvinas Krungolcas took the silver and his compatriot Andrejus Zadneprovskis clinched the bronze.Britons Sam Weale and Nick Woodbridge finished 10th and 25th respectively."I'll look back on this as a day with so many ups and downs, but obviously I loved it out there and I have to be happy with a top-10 finish at my first Olympic Games," said Weale. "But when you're on the start line, you just want to get a medal."Woodbridge added: "This was one of the best days of my life, but also one of the hardest. It was my worst result of the season, which is really frustrating.” There was heartache for China's Qian Zhenhua who held second spot before finishing fourth overall after fading in the 3000m.Czech athlete David Svoboda led the competition after winning the pistol shooting with a score of 191 out of a maximum 200 - an Olympic record. After the epee fencing, both Moiseev and Qian occupied the overall top two spots, winning 26 of their 35 bouts.Egypt's Amro el Geziry then set another Olympic modern pentathlon record in the 200m swimming with a time of one minute 55.86 seconds, breaking Moiseev's mark in Athens four years ago of 1:58:88.That came before the farcical showjumping that saw five of the competitors fail to finish the rain-drenched course, while Svoboda, who was third overall, slipped down to 31st after a disastrous ride.Moiseev is the first man since Sweden's Lars Hall, in 1952 and 1956, to win back-to-back Olympic modern pentathlons.

有激动,也有些许伤感。25日晚,当田径比赛结束后,南京奥体中心体育场里举行了“志愿者狂欢夜”活动,向可爱的“小青柠”致敬。图为志愿者在活动中狂欢。(摄于8月25日) 新华社记者欧东衢摄 新华网南京8月25日电(记者凌军辉、朱翃)有激动,也有些许伤感。25日晚,当田径比赛结束后,南京奥体中心体育场里举行了“志愿者狂欢夜”活动,向可爱的“小青柠”致敬。 他们身在赛场,很多人却没有看到开幕式,哪怕是直播;他们服务赛事,有的却没有进过场馆,虽然只有一墙之隔;他们穿上吉祥物“砳砳”的服装“萌动”青奥,却从没有露出真容…… 他们是南京青奥会上的2万名赛会志愿者、是分布在大街小巷的50万名平安志愿者,在观众服务、竞赛组织、礼宾服务、餐饮服务、医疗服务、代表团助理、安全保卫等400多个岗位上挥洒青春的汗水。 他们是赛事的“配角”,却在运动员和观众心中占据了中心位置。25晚的奥体中心体育场,志愿者狂欢夜盛大开场,833名服务于体育场的“配角”第一次占据了赛场中央。掌声、欢呼、鲜花以及一座座“最美志愿者”奖杯是对他们艰辛付出的褒奖。 事实上,在很多志愿者心里,帮助别人就是生命存在的意义,如果收获一声“感谢”、一个微笑,则是生命的额外馈赠。 他们有个好听的名字—小青柠。这不仅源于制服上一抹青柠般的绿色,更在于他们大多为“90后”,是青春南京—“青宁”的代表,为青奥赛场带去清新和活力。 青奥会是世界青年交流的舞台。“小青柠”们在志愿服务中展示青春风采,浇灌一朵朵友谊之花,给3700多名来自世界各地的青年运动员留下了难忘的美好记忆。 青奥会是向世界展示中国的窗口。外语翻译不厌其烦的细致转递,赛场助理分秒必争的一丝不苟,礼仪小姐收放自如的优雅姿态……“小青柠”们用热血青春讲述中国故事,成为最美中国的亮丽风景。 打造“中国名片”,他们是主角;展示青春风采,他们交出完美答卷。 他们的青春不负青春! 这样的青春值得尊敬!
