The feeling of watching a trampoline for the first time

Central District Volunteer Ding Jiadi

Compared to the hectic pace of the past few days, we are very relaxed today.

As usual, we prepared the store two hours before the game. For the convenience of volunteers, the store has recently been opened in advance for them to purchase. They are so busy that they can only take advantage of this little break to look at the licensed products. Most of them are security volunteers. They are in a foreign land and they all hope to bring some Olympic gifts to their relatives so that they can enjoy the happiness of the Olympics together.

After the volunteers had all lined up and stood at their posts for a long time, the first customer was welcomed.

Then, it’s quiet again...

I am used to the intense work before. Although it is very tiring and I may even feel that I cannot cope with it, the sense of fulfillment is irreplaceable. One sales person serves several people at the same time: asking for prices, asking about clothing sizes, trying on clothes...; the cashier does not stop for a moment, but there is no rush. If the money is miscalculated, the problem will be serious. You must also pay attention from time to time to see if there is anyone who jumps in line——The long queue waiting for the cashier is really spectacular. Everyone wants to have a thousand hands and a thousand mouths, hoping to satisfy customers' requirements in an instant.

I never knew there was a trampoline project before. The trampolines I remember were those of jumping on the bed when I was a child, and the entertainment trampolines filled with happy balls. Today, I saw the graceful posture of the athletes at the scene, and I couldn't help but sigh——Trampoline is a beautiful sport. Changing positions in the air reminds me of diving; relying on the elasticity of the trampoline to fly into the air, I can see the shadow of the pommel horse again.

While riding the bus at night, the TV in the car was playing a news briefing. When playing the trampoline, a little sister next to me“Wow~”exclaimed, and her mother was also full of joy:“What kind of project is this? It’s so beautiful.”I told them loudly that it was a trampoline, and the Chinese male player in the competition was called Dong Dong.

I still remember that day when he and several other athletes showed up at our store, they caused quite a commotion. Olympian, what a glorious name. And we, those who serve the Olympics, are also glorious. In the process of trying your best for the Olympics, you can overcome fatigue and being complained about. Maybe we are just a few among tens of millions of volunteers, but we have gained a lot by participating in the Olympics as volunteers.

Welcome a tomorrow filled with happiness and surprises with full emotions. I believe we will do better.(Reprinted from "Briefing of the Volunteer Team in the Central Area of the w88 casino" No.19Issue, slightly modified by the editor)
