According to the rules, each player makes three jumps and takes two best results, and the third jump can only be a battle for Gu Ailing. Never afraid of challenges, she withstood the pressure in the last jump and safely advanced to the final.

Unexpectedly, the second jump was a little slow because of the speed, there was a little mistake, and the snowboard fell off after landing, which was some accidents. However, the third jump can be easily completed, I am still very happy! After the game, the optimistic and confident Gu Ailing smiled and said, "Today's goal is to enter the final, and now it is completed, I am very happy, and look forward to having a more wonderful performance tomorrow." ”
