In the last game of 2021, Gu Ailing once again stood on the highest podium. On December 30, local time, the first match of the FIS Freestyle Ski U-Field World Cup in Calgary, Gu Ailing played steadily three times, and finally won the championship with 96.80 points. With two consecutive World Cup titles, Gu Ailing continues to top the freestyle ski U-track standings, while the Calgary championship is also Gu Ailing's fourth title in mid-December.

Unlike the previous World Cup Bronze Mountain and Dew Tour, Gu Ailing did not challenge the difficult movement of the double-sided rotation 900 degrees in the final of the Calgary leg, but she retained the rather personal reverse rotation 720 degrees and the double-sided alli-oop flat rotation in the second half of the whole set. In the three slides in the final, Gu Ailing was zero mistakes, and she was also the only one of the seven people who appeared in the final to score more than 90 points on two slides.

Although the progress of Gu Ailing's first race in Calgary seemed to be smooth, she experienced a "human journey" before the start of the game. In the preview of the Calgary station released by the International Snow Federation earlier this week, it was also mentioned that Gu Ailing would not participate in the competition. But the day before the start of the qualifiers, Gu Ailing still appeared on the departure list, so what happened in the past 24 hours?

"I was in another country 24 hours ago, I lost my passport and didn't know how to get to Calgary." In an interview after the game, Gu Ailing recalled, "It was a bit chaotic at the time, but fortunately I found my passport at the last moment, I was the last person to board the plane, and I even forgot to bring my mobile phone charger!" This time, Gu Ailing came to Calgary alone to compete, without her mother's company or coaching guidance, but she was not "alone". On the way to the departure point by cable car, Gu Ailing talked to her mother and coach, and other skaters who were both competitors and friends also gave Gu Ailing a lot of help. After Gu Ailing completed her last slide, runners-up Farn Harper and runner-up Kaker, who were waiting in the end zone, also applauded her and gave her a hug.

In the last month of 2021, Gu Ailing can be described as a fruitful harvest. From the victory of the Big Jump World Cup Steamboat Station, to the Dew Tour winning 1 championship and 1 runner-up to achieving two consecutive U-shaped world cup titles, Gu Ailing has gone hand in hand in the big jump, slope obstacles and U-shaped venues, and is constantly improving his competitiveness. After winning the first race in Calgary, Gu Ailing's journey here is not over. On January 1, 2022, the second leg of the U-shaped track event will begin. Can Gu Ailing, who successfully ended 2021 with a champion, be able to usher in the opening of the Olympic year in the same venue?
