Gu Ailing, who competed part-time at the Winter Olympics, won her first big platform gold medal in the same race, becoming the first female player in the world to complete a two-week flip 1440-degree action in the competition. Therefore, the performance of the two youngsters on the big jump platform is worth looking forward to.
