环法七连冠阿姆斯特朗专访

Anchor(outside): What a story, we were here yesterday in Paris as Lance finished his 7th tour. This morning just moments ago, we got to sit down and have a real chat with this amazing champion. We asked him what are you ready for next.

Lance: I'm ready for a vocation 1. I'm ready, I'm incredibly excited that my kids are here, my family is here, Sheryl is here, and now it starts a whole new chapter in life.

Anchor: As trying to read your face as you crossed the finish line yesterday?

Lance: Yeah, that's a tough one to read after 3 weeks in, especially 3 weeks in that way, because the Champs-Elysees is a hard circuit, it's not easy, so you just wanna get down, you don't wanna crash. You would have no choice (You're almost there)which i almost did, yap, because the city like this would reign 2 as disaster.

Anchor: what it is like to know what you mean to people?

Lance: If you consider the size and the scope of the honor not just the people diagnose, not just the people who will survive, but the people that it has touched. Because you know what you have, basically, 250 million people realizing what's going on and realizing that your story someone reflects theirs. That’s powerful stuff, you know, nobody else , none of the other 190 guys they started 3 weeks ago had that advantage. So perhaps that's part of the secret.

Anchor: Somebody said if you had people pulling with you that would've made you stronger.

Lance: The urologist doctor J who died was the man who diagnosed me. You know, cos in the beginning , I can't anybody that would listen to the doctors, nurses, I said "Am I gonna get better, just, just tell me, everybody wants to know that they are gonna do well, they are gonna survive, they are gonna be cured, they are gonna move on in life. Look back on the soft on the illnesses , this is, it's a blip on the radar 3 screen. but he just said to me: Look, I can't promise you you are gonna live, I can't promise you you are gonna get better, but what I can tell you is that you are being held in the hearts, minds and souls of so many people right now. And I know that makes a difference, and I thought, I've never heard anything like that, wow,I like that.

Anchor: Yesterday, on the podium, you gave a short speech.

Video: lance: I'm sorry you can't dream big, I'm sorry you don't believe in miracles, but this is one hell of a race. this is a great sporting event, and you should stand around and believe. You should believe in these athletes, and you should believe in these people.

Lance: This sport, there is a, there is an entire, you know, a state full of people that would say: it just can't happen, not only, forget the honors, forget the comeback, forget the long odds 4, you just can't do the race without help, and that's a shame, but I suppose it was inevitable 5 when you consider what the sport has been doing in the last ten years, the guy that comes back the year after the biggest doping scandal in history of sport. You know, Lord in the holy was a cancer survivor 6, not only I won itonce, but I broke the record I won it 7 times. I understand, but it's not right. You don't wanna necessarily put the light on the negative aspect of it. I thought I had to, and I felt that was my last opportunity, I can't hold a press conference in a month: hey, you guys, you bad guys, shame on you for not dreaming. So that was my chance, I just take a good look at this phase, cos you are never gonna see it again.

Anchor: Team vintage lands today, sort of true to your insides.

Lance: Well, yap, because, it has, at last made me angry, of course, nobody, nobody wants to hear that, if you are a singer, nobody wants to say that's not your singing on the record. If you're a journalist, they don't want to say, you don't write this story, your sources are made up, who are they, nobody wants to be called like that.

Anchor: What was it like to have your children up on the podium with you yesterday?

Lance: a dream, a dream, you know, I wanted to be there one final time in yellow, I wanted them to be there with me. I wanted them to understand that was what that meant first to board for a team, for me and for their dad that I wanted them also them to understand that's the last time.
