Four years ago at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, 20-year-old Qiu Leng was still a little confused, completely following the rhythm of others, so he only ranked 16th in the end and failed to reach the final. Yesterday she knew that her first goal was to reach the final, so the two actions were a bit conservative, but fortunately, she reached the final without any danger, breaking through her own ceiling. "I'm not going to be conservative anymore in the final."

The reporters of this wish have listened to it, so today Qiu Leng came to the mixed mining area, and the first question I asked was to pay close attention to this point.

Reporter: After the thrilling promotion to the final in yesterday's qualifiers, you said that you would not be conservative when you entered the final, how do you feel about today's three jumps?

Qiu Leng: My wish was fulfilled, but the action was not done ideally, and it was a bit of a mistake. The first trip I wanted to do a 900 degree, two 720 degrees, but the first 720 down did not handle well, resulting in my second 720 not connected, because of course there is no speed. The second trip was a mistake, so I had to fight anyway on the third trip, and I didn't think there was a difference between 6th and 12th places. At that time, my foreign teacher suggested that I only do one 900 degree and two 700 degrees for the third time, but I insisted on hitting 1080 degrees, although I did not stand, I had no regrets.

Reporter: Actually, after listening to your words yesterday, we were a little worried, because we need to find a balance between stability and difficulty. If you want to rush the difficulty, then the risk will also increase, have you ever thought about this?

Qiu Leng: I thought about it, because my goals are different from that of Sister Tong (Cai Xuetong). She's at a better level than me, so her goal is to get the gold medal, and I don't have that task, so I said that as long as I get to the final, I don't have to be conservative. There may still be a little chance to fight, if you don't fight, there will be nothing. This Winter Olympics will be held on the doorstep, all aspects of the guarantee is particularly good, if I do my best, I am afraid I will regret it later.

Reporter: Judging from today's final, the three players participating in Japan are all at a good level, which shows that in the field of U-shaped venues, Japanese male and female players are making rapid progress.

Qiu Leng: The performance of Japanese athletes is really good and their strength is very strong, but the progress of Chinese athletes in this project in recent years is also obvious, and they have formed a certain team advantage. Because of the epidemic, we have less opportunities to go out to participate in competitions and exchanges in the past two years, and I believe that as long as we are given more time, we will do better.

Reporter: This is your second time participating in the Winter Olympics, compared to the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics four years ago, what is your own change?

Qiu Leng: I feel that my goal is clearer. In the last edition, because of his younger age, he felt that he was in a state of ignorance, and the goal of the competition was not very clear. But now I know what I want and what I can do to achieve my goals. This time, although I reached the final, my ranking was not ideal, which made me see where my gap and future goals are, which is the harvest.
