On December 31, Beijing time, in the 2021-22 freestyle skiing World Cup U-shaped venue Calgary station, China's Gu Ailing passed the victory again, with a high score of 96.80 to win the championship, won two consecutive World Cup U-shaped venue championships.
This title is Gu Ailing's fourth top honor since the beginning of this season, from her recent competition status, in the slope obstacle skills, U-shaped pool and big jump three events, Gu Ailing has the strength to compete for gold in the Winter Olympics, it is no exaggeration to say that she won all three gold medals in these three events is not unrealistic imagination, this willing to renounce American citizenship of the Chinese and American mixed race genius girl, may only pass through the Winter Olympics, will engrave her name on the history of China's winter sports.
In addition to Gu Ailing, another naturalized athlete Lin Xiaojun, will also be likely to play in the Beijing Winter Olympics, before he in a training camp of the South Korean short track speed skating team, in front of the female team members to rip off the pants of male teammates, the impact is quite bad, was directly removed by the Korean team, in order to continue his career and the dream of defending the Winter Olympics, Lin Xiaojun chose to join the Chinese nationality, as the champion of the men's 3000 meters, he has the opportunity to add a gold to the Chinese team, but the current Winter Olympics roster has not yet been announced, Whether he will be able to wear a Chinese war report for the Beijing Winter Olympics is not entirely certain.
If ideal, Gu Ailing and Lin Xiaojun will jointly contribute 4 gold medals, which may be half of the total number of gold medals of the Chinese team at the Beijing Winter Olympics, or even more, the half of the naturalized athletes occupying the honor may feel a little awkward, but on the one hand, both of them are voluntary to join the Chinese nationality, not like the national football team to actively recruit, and Gu Ailing has a strong sense of Chinese cultural identity, has also received Chinese education, will say fluent Chinese, on the other hand, these two players have achieved good results, It doesn't mean that our native athletes haven't improved.
Take the freestyle skiing World Cup U-shaped venue Calgary station competition that Gu Ailing participated in this time, Gu Ailing won the championship, and two Chinese players reached the final, Zhang Kexin and Li Fanghui ranked fourth and fifth with 89.20 points and 80.40 points respectively, before Su Yiming also won the championship of excessive station competition, more and more Chinese players can emerge in the ski event, which has to be gratifying. In addition, the completion of the Zhangjiakou site in Hebei province will become an important opportunity for the development of ice and snow sports in China, effectively improving the mass base and injecting strength into the training of follow-up talents.
