On December 31, Beijing time, China's Gu Ailing showed his super dominance in the 2021-22 freestyle skiing World Cup U-shaped venue Calgary station, with a high score of 96.80 to win the championship, won two consecutive World Cup U-shaped venue World Cup championships, and won the fourth championship of the season in three individual events in one month. What is more worth mentioning is that Gu Ailing showed her "head iron girl" characteristics, and temporarily decided to travel alone from the United States to Calgary, Canada, 24 hours before the start of the competition.
On the registration list for this World Cup, Gu Ailing's name was not originally available, and her family and team also suggested that she be able to take a break and sprint to the Beijing Winter Olympics. But a few hours before the Calgary race began, Gu Ailing's name suddenly appeared on the roster again.
According to Gu Ailing's family to the sports news tree, the reason for this reversal is that although the team and family hope that Gu Ailing can choose to recuperate, she still believes that she should not give up any opportunity to play before the Beijing Winter Olympics. So she flew from the United States to Canada 24 hours before the World Cup preliminaries. Because the team was not ready, Gu Ailing came to Canada alone to play, without a coaching team and mother to follow.
For Gu Ailing, who is only 18 years old, this is not the first time she has shown her "head iron girl" traits in the World Series. At last year's World Championships, Gu Ailing accidentally suffered a palm fracture in training, and everyone around her at that time was worried about her, but Gu Ailing did not care at all and insisted on finishing the World Championship. She even watched the training video of her injury and commented with a completely indifferent attitude. After that, Gu Ailing, who played with injuries, won two gold medals at the World Championships. This is also the best result achieved by Chinese athletes in the Ski World Championships.
This time, on the Ski World Cup Calgary station, Gu Ailing once again insisted on choosing to compete alone, which was really emotional. After all, she is only 18 years old, in such a serious situation of the epidemic, without any team members to accompany her, she chose to participate in the World Cup sub-station alone, which is unimaginable to many people. I wish the "Head Iron Girl" all the best in the final sprint before the Beijing Winter Olympics, and a historic breakthrough for Chinese skiing at the Beijing Winter Olympics.
