Gu Ailing made her debut at the Beijing Winter Olympics, and the audience shouted "Come on"

As one of the iconic venues of the Beijing Winter Olympics, shougang big jumping platform began construction in 2018 and was completed in 2019. The freestyle ski women's big jumping competition on the 7th was the venue's first international competition, after Gu Ailing said after completing the venue adaptation training that she and other runners felt that the Shougang big jump was very good. Although the media center in Shougang Park is temporary, the facilities and equipment are no different from other venues: the Global Times reporter saw volunteers and staff everywhere at the scene to help domestic and foreign media, who also quickly adapted to this "new home". 1 hour before the start of the competition, the reporter went to the media viewing area, walked around, climbed up and down for several minutes, and finally found a good viewing position: facing the center of the jumping platform, you can see the aerial movements and landing postures of the players after taking off. When the reporter sat down, the contestants were warming up before the game, and the reporter witnessed the Chinese player Yang Shuorui not getting up for a long time after falling, and then volunteers and medical staff entered and helped her on a stretcher... It is not difficult to see that the freestyle ski jumping project still has certain risks.

This is the first time that the freestyle ski women's big jump has appeared on the stage of the Winter Olympics. Before the competition, a street dance performance with the theme of "Dragon Fist" was staged near the audience, and the youthful atmosphere emitted by the performance was in line with the young big jumping platform project. When the Global Times reporter entered the arena, he also noticed that there are Winter Olympic licensed commodity stores around the arena, and many spectators are queuing, and it seems that the "ice pier heat" has spread to all corners inside and outside the arena. On the 7th, the qualifiers gathered, many people sacrificed difficult moves in the first jump, and the third Estonian player, Who was regarded as Gu Ailing's fierce rival, made a mistake and only scored 40.25 points. Gu Ailing performed steadily in the first jump and scored 89 points steadily. Yang Shuorui, who then appeared, scored 38.25 points, when the live DJ played "Red Sun", and the audience also applauded and encouraged the injured youngster before the game. In the second jump, Gu Ailing made a mistake when landing, scoring only 24 points, and the audience shouted "cheers" to cheer her up. Since the promotion rules of the project are the best two rounds of the qualifying round, Gu Ailing scored 72.25 points in the third jump, with a total score of 161.25 points, and successfully advanced to the final on the morning of the 8th.

"Seeing Sister Ai Ling enter the final is happy for her", Yang Shuorui told reporters after the game, after he fell before the game, he had two stitches in his eyes, and the team doctor gave her psychological counseling after waking up, "He asked me if I could still play? I said yes, just go up and try it. Although Yang Shuorui did not qualify for the final of the big jump, she will also do her best in the next slope obstacle course.
