On the fourth official competition day of the Beijing Winter Olympics, Gu Ailing ushered in her first final, that is, the freestyle ski women's big jump final.
The Beijing Winter Olympics is the first Winter Olympics in which 18-year-old Gu Ailing participated. She competed in three small events, the freestyle ski women's big jump was her weakest single event. She has been practicing the freestyle ski women's big jump for more than a year, and she did not expect to successfully advance to the final. That's why people call her a gifted girl, she does have athletic talent.
In the final, she scored 93.75 points and 88.50 points in the first two jumps. France's Tess. Ludd played well, jumping 94.50 points and 93.00 points. The first two jumpers of France's Tess. Ludd came in first, and Gu Ailing ranked second.
The rules of the women's big jump are that each person jumps three times, and the sum of the two jumps with the best results is selected as the total score of the individual, and then ranked.
There are many people who make mistakes in the third jump. Before Gu Ailing jumped, she had already determined that she could get a medal. The third jump valley Ailing chose a 1620-degree turn in the air. This is an action that women athletes have never succeeded in, and Gu Ailing has never jumped in a game. This action is too difficult and risky. Before jumping, Gu Ailing's mother advised her daughter not to jump this action, just jump a high safety factor action, at least a silver medal. But Gu Ailing did not want this. She wanted to show the best in herself to the world.
In the end, Gu Ailing jumped successfully, scoring 94.50 points. The last french player to appear, Tess. Ludd needed to jump above 93.75 points to overtake Gu Ailing. She also chose a difficult move, but unfortunately did not jump well, watching the medal that was about to arrive was lost. After the game, the French players were very sad, and Gu Ailing was very loving and rushed over to comfort the French players.
Gu Ailing won the gold medal in the freestyle ski women's big jump. This is the weakest project she has practiced, just get a gold medal, Gu Ailing really has the possibility of achieving the three gold kings.
American netizens saw it and were sad. Because Gu Ailing was originally an American, he later became a Chinese citizen and became a Chinese athlete. Originally, Gu Ailing's achievements could be counted as those of the Americans, but Gu Ailing strongly requested to be transferred to Chinese nationality, and the medal became the Chinese delegation's. Americans are naturally a little sad, and even criticize Gu Ailing. Gu Ailing responded to these murmurs in a domineering manner.
At the press conference, a reporter from the Guardian asked Gu Ailing a question. "Congratulations, Ailing. You are a girl who can speak the word, and the Chinese audience and the American audience like you very much. I wonder how you achieve these balances, especially some criticism on social media? ”
Gu Ailing said confidently: "I don't need to make everyone satisfied. I'm just an 18 year old girl and I just want to enjoy my life. I don't care what people think. I want to use my efforts to make this field as positive a change as possible. Gu Ailing's words were very appropriate.
She went on to say: "I know that my heart is good, and I also know that the decisions I make are based on the common good, and I feel that this will bring greater benefits." If someone doesn't believe that this is what I meant, then it just means that they don't have enough empathy to understand the kindness of others, probably because they have different values than me. If someone doesn't believe me or doesn't like me, then it's their loss. They can't be Olympic champions. ”
After speaking, Gu Ailing smiled confidently again.
Gu Ailing is really a very talented girl, talking endlessly, very methodical, and irrefutable. It is also a good family education. Gu Ailing began practicing skiing at a very young age, and her parents did not give up her studies. Without enjoying the preferential treatment of sports students, she was admitted to a prestigious school in the United States with high scores. I have to say that Gu Ailing is a genius and a very capable girl. I don't know what those American netizens have to say to criticize Gu Ailing. Americans can't win the gold medal themselves, do they have to go to Sour Valley Ailing?
Besides, are there still fewer naturalized athletes in the United States? How many athletes in the real sense of the United States are indigenous, most of them are Asian and African American athletes. Not to mention that Gu Ailing has Chinese ancestry, and what qualifications do they have to criticize Gu Ailing?
