In an interview with the media after the game on February 7, Gu Ailing answered questions while taking the initiative to show his Winter Olympic "battle robe". She lifted the athletes' overshirt, revealing the gleaming name "GU AILING" in front of the ski suit, and the golden dragon pattern on her back.
"My snowboard and snowsuit are all designed by myself, with elements of Chinese culture on them. I want to bring Chinese elements to the world, to freestyle skiing. Hopefully, a few years from now, there will be a lot of people standing on the slopes in snow suits and snowboards that I designed. Gu Ailing said.
The freestyle ski jump made its Winter Olympic debut
The freestyle ski jump is the youngest sport in the "Winter Olympic Family". The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics is the "Winter Olympic Debut" of the freestyle ski jumping event, and the youngest of the "Six Brothers of the Winter Olympics" in freestyle skiing.
Because the freestyle ski jump is quite "young", most of the athletes belong to the part-time practice - the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, the winter olympic points of the two sports of the big jump and the slope obstacle course are combined, so all the athletes of the big jump event will participate in the slope obstacle course at the same time.
The large jumping platform is divided into four parts: the ski area, the starting platform, the landing slope and the finish area. Athletes from the more than 40 meters of ski area, to the starting platform to rely on inertia to jump into the air, make a set of aerial movements and then land on the landing slope, very test the athletes' ability to observe and self-control, the referee according to the player's action difficulty, action completion, grasping board and fluency and other elements of the comprehensive score.
The freestyle ski finals featured 3 ski runs, with the best 2 of the 3 results added up to the final ranking. It also means that the suspense of the game will be maintained until the end.
Congratulations to Gu Ailing!
The future can be expected!
