现代炼“金”术(英文)

虽然雅典奥运会已悄然淡出我们的视线,但我们依然记得李婷、孙甜甜获胜后相互拥抱、开怀大笑的样子,刘翔飞一般冲到终点张开双臂庆祝胜利的场面……那一刻,所有人都为之动容。中国军团在“回家”的奥运会上上演了收获32金的完美风暴。“历史性突破”仿佛成为那令人心神激荡的16天中使用率最高的一个词汇。而这“历史性突破”的谛造者除了我们最熟悉的金牌运动员、金牌教练外,还有一个极度其强有力的团队在支撑——科研组。甚至从某种意义上说,科技对金牌有绝对的影响。据悉,为征战雅典奥运会,中国奥运军团的科研投入空前,从技术到装备,说“武装到牙齿”有点悬虚,但确实在每一个项目、每一个细节上闪现。 本组专题独家披露了发生在不同运动项目、不同运动员身上的“科研造金”故事,一方面是想让人们知道一枚奥运金牌的真正内涵与价值,一方面为2008北京奥运会未雨绸缪——科技了不得,更忽略不得。
