Recently, the Winter Olympics have received keen attention from the international media and netizens, and the opening, competition, Olympic village food and mascot "ice pier" have become the hot search keywords during this period.
However, have you noticed that in the team of our Chinese athletes this time, there are many figures such as Xueba, Yanba, and Competitive Bull.
Therefore, Sister Rice decided to talk to everyone about the "number one player" in the Team of the Winter Olympics and give everyone a science popularization of the "hidden identity" of our athletes.
Hold your chin and look down!
Gu Ailing Xueba + fashion idol
Athletes who can harvest fans at home and abroad at the same time, across circles, everyone should be able to count it with their fingers!
It just so happens that Gu Ailing is one of them.
But as for how Gu Ailing got so many people liked, not many people knew why.
Gu Ailing has shown great skiing talent since she was a child, and at the age of 9, she was already the ski champion of the American Children's Group. In the three years from the age of 13 to 16, she won more than 50 gold medals, large and small.
The name of "ski genius girl" resounded throughout the United States, and in international sports circles, the three words of Gu Ailing also have a lot of weight.
Surprisingly, this father was an American and his mother was a talented athlete from Beijing, but in the end he resolutely joined China.
On June 6, 2019, Gu Ailing, a Mixed-Race Athlete of American descent who was still American at the time, posted on the social platform happily announcing that he had become a Chinese freestyle skier and announced that he had joined Chinese nationality.
After the news was released, she only received some attention on a small scale at that time. People who don't know much about the world of sports may not be very familiar with what this teenage girl is.
But soon, Gu Ailing used his strength to put himself in a higher position. In just 22 days since her post, Gu Ailing has won gold medals in three international ski events for China.
In the period from June 2019 to the end of 2020 alone, Gu Ailing won 7 gold and 2 silver on behalf of China, becoming a well-known "star" in the celebrity circle at home and abroad.
This time, in order to prepare for the Winter Olympics, she also specially graduated from high school a year earlier and postponed her entry to college for one year.
You know, in addition to the label of "ski genius", Gu Ailing is also an all-rounder.
In addition to being good at skiing, she has been very good at football, basketball, equestrianism, ballet, piano, and musical theater since she was a child, which has also made her known as the "golden sign of elite education" by fans.
And the school she postponed for a year was the world-famous Stanford University.
On the SAT test with a full score of 1600 points (which can be understood as the American college entrance examination), she scored 1580 points, directly surpassing the 99.8% of the candidates in the same class.
Seeing this beautiful score, and then looking at Gu Ailing's competitive achievements full of honors, Sister Rice really wanted to ask "the same person, how can anyone be so good"?
Young fame, or learning to bully, but her appearance conditions are still perfect!
Although he is only 18 years old now, with his own strength and perfect body and appearance conditions, Ailing has become a "fragrant food" that major fashion brands are rushing to get.
Domestic and foreign fashion magazines have come up over and over again;
In June 2021, at the age of 17, she became the global spokesperson for luxury jewelry brand Tiffany, along with two other international superstars.
Not only that, she is also the youngest spokesperson for this brand, and this honor is difficult for some popular actresses in China to get.
Representing China in the Winter Olympics, she competed in the freestyle ski slopes, U-shaped pool and big jump. Although she made some mistakes in the second jump of the big jump preliminaries, she still made it to the final and was still a popular candidate to win the championship.
I don't know what kind of surprises she will bring us later!
The hockey goalkeeper was once a Wall Street female elite
Don't think that in the lineup of Winter Olympic athletes selected by China this time, only Gu Ailing, such an "all-round player", the goalkeeper of the women's ice hockey team, Zhou Jiaying, is also very promising.
In the game on February 6, 26-year-old goalkeeper Zhou Jiaying defended the goal in a crucial penalty shootout, saved all the attacks of Japanese players, and helped China defeat Japan again after 13 years!
After the competition, when interviewed by foreign reporters, she also insisted on answering with Chinese, such a player wants to make people hate it!
These "divine courage" operations directly circled a large wave of small fans, and some illustrator netizens also specially drew a Q version of the portrait to send her.
If the goalkeeper of the men's football team can also have half the courage of Sister Zhou, the football fans will not cry so badly...
Don't look at her as a "goalkeeper", before entering the Chinese ice hockey team, Zhou Jiaying's previous identity made Sister Rice silently send her knees.
Born in Vancouver, Canada in 1995, she was not a Chinese national. Like Gu Ailing, she is a mixed-race child, and although her mother is a Chinese, she has few opportunities to return to China as a child.
She has lived abroad since she was a child, and has always been educated and educated by the West. As a result, she developed a keen interest in the sport of ice hockey as a student (she was really cute as a child).
In addition to her busy studies, she also regularly participates in varsity hockey games and training. In 2012, Zhou Jiaying was admitted to the Ivy League university Princeton University majoring in finance.
The students of finance majors are not business leaders or financial bulls after graduation, and our sister Zhou is no exception. After graduating, she joined Wall Street and became a professional fund analyst, easily joining the elite.
But rather than data analysis, she prefers the ice hockey she has been exposed to since childhood, and has an Olympic dream. Before graduating, she competed in hundreds of matches, winning the World Championship for the Canadian national team.
Such a seeded player gave up his Wall Street job in 2018 and joined the Shenzhen Kunlun Hongxing Ice Hockey Club, and after receiving the praise of the best goalkeeper, he also chose to join the Chinese nationality to fight for the country.
Just as she was preparing for the Winter Olympics, she accidentally slipped and fell, resulting in a fracture of her left ankle bone, just over two months after the competition. In order to be able to win glory for the country, Zhou Jiaying has been enduring the pain to speed up his recovery process during this time, and finally barely recovered before the game.
This time to help the Chinese ice hockey team squeeze into the top eight positions, the "most beautiful door god" Zhou Jiaying does not know how much sweat we have shed in places we can't see.
Needless to say, the sister of the back game meal does not eat and also has to squat to see her!
The captain of the men's ice hockey team is a crime investigator
Speaking of Xueba, ye Jinguang, the captain of the men's ice hockey team, and The rice sister also need to nag everyone.
As a team that debuted in the Olympic arena, the ice hockey team led by Ye Jinguang received a lot of attention as soon as it appeared. At the age of 36, he is also the oldest of the Chinese sports delegation.
Interestingly, Ye Jinguang, like Zhou Jiaying, was born in Vancouver, Canada, and practiced ice hockey since childhood. What's more coincidental is that Ye Jinguang is also a university bully from a world famous university!
We are just curious, are the school bullies all piled up to become athletes?
In 2004, Ye Jinguang was drafted by the Colorado Avalanche team of the North American Hockey League (NHL) to become a professional hockey player.
However, at this time, he was just in the stage of further education, and then he was admitted to Boston University and became an "investigator" in the "crime scene investigation" major. Doesn't it sound awesome!
After all, this profession is easy to associate with the image of agents, investigators and the like in movies.
However, after graduation, Ye Jinguang gave up this job and concentrated on entering the league (NHL) as a full-time player. He played for many teams and became the best Chinese player in the history of professional ice hockey.
From 17 to 18 years, he and Zhou Jiaying successively entered the Kunlun Hongxing Ice Hockey Club and joined the Chinese nationality, so that the lineup of the Chinese ice hockey team grew again.
Regardless of whether the first battle is smooth or not, Sister Rice is still looking forward to this "uncle"!
Gold medal short track speed skating was praised by the highly educated day group
In addition to the above few have a very strong background of strength, the short track speed skating team that has just won the first gold of the Winter Olympics is called "highly educated heavenly group".
Don't think that as sports students, their cultural level is very low. Among them, popular players Wu Dajing and Fan Kexin are all graduate students of Beijing Sport University in the past.
At the same time as training, it is also necessary to assess comprehensive knowledge such as theory and teaching. What they learn is no less than that of liberal arts and science universities.
Seven of the athletes on this team are alumni of Beijing Sports University, and 6 out of 10 are graduate students. No wonder netizens will sigh "no graduate degree, are embarrassed to be athletes."
At last
Compared with the past, more and more powerful players have emerged in the team of our athletes. They are not only outstanding in sports, but also in appearance, education or other fields, they are also among the best people.
Of course, Sister Rice has not finished talking this time. The background is very powerful, and zhu Yi, whose father is an internationally renowned computer scientist, is a figure skater, of course, the little sister herself is also a school bully.
Su Yiming, who has just won the silver, was previously a "mixed" showbiz, and when he was a child, he was a small drama bone in many film and television dramas such as the movie "Wise Tiger Mountain". This time, he was even teased by netizens for completing the "leap from CCTV-6 to CCTV-5"!
From academic bully to actor, to crime investigator, Wall Street elite and daughter of scientists, the background of The Chinese participants in this Winter Olympics can be described as "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".
After looking at the background of our athletes, Sister Rice saw who would dare to say that the athletes had "developed limbs and simple minds" in the future. Finally, I hope that these athletes can continue to cheer on the field!
