The "Four Dynasties Elders" did not win the veneer U pool medal, Cai Xuetong went to stay to be determined, and Liu Jiayu had to fight again

The picture shows Cai Xue copper.

In the women's U-shaped field skill final of snowboarding, 12 players divided into two "camps" - nine people, including defending champion Coloy King, only participated in two Winter Olympics at most; while the only post-80s Kralt Castellet and two Chinese celebrities Cai Xuetong and Liu Jiayu witnessed the development history of this project in the Olympic Games, the Spaniard has participated five times since Turin, and the two Chinese veterans are four-game Olympic Games.

21-year-old Coloy King, the absolute ruler of the project, scored a super high score of 94.00 in the first jump, leaving the other players with an easy way to defend their title. The 32-year-old Kastrit scored 90.25 points in the second jump, the second player to score more than 90 points in the game, and finally reached the podium for the first time in his fifth Winter Olympics. The bronze medal belonged to her sister Naina Seta in Japan's "Tomita Sisters", who scored a maximum of 88. 25 points.

Cai Xuetong and Liu Jiayu, two of China's "elders of the Four Dynasties", failed to achieve a breakthrough as desired. Liu Jiayu, 29, was runners-up in this event at the last Winter Olympics, and this time she made mistakes in the first two jumps, and she finished 8th with 73.50 points in the last jump. And 1 year younger Cai Xuetong is even more stifling, Pyeongchang no. 5, Sochi no. 6, Cai Xuetong has medal strength, but always a little bit worse, she is in this Olympic cycle for three consecutive seasons in the World Cup points ranking first, but this time finally ranked 4th with 81.25 points.

Cai Xuetong, who walked off the field, has not yet come out of sadness. She still wears goggles, but she can still see tear marks through the discolored lenses, "I am very satisfied with my performance, but I am sad that I did not complete the set of actions I wanted to complete, and I may have a little bit of bad luck." The third slip originally wanted to do the reverse foot 900, but when the jump was still not patient enough, the jump was urgent, did not give the upper force ..."

Cai Xuetong admitted that he still needs some time to digest this final. Except that the final performance did not meet my expectations, everything in this Olympic cycle satisfied me, "Four years at a time, it is really not easy, but I try to enjoy the sport itself as much as possible." I gave myself a very big affirmation, in these four years, there are no regrets in the preparation process, I have mastered every day of training very well. For the future, Cai Xuetong is not willing to think more, and now he will not say whether he will insist on it, "I hope that everyone will still pay more attention to this project." If I had the ability to constantly push my limits or realize my potential, I would continue. ”

If Cai Xuetong's personality is like "ice", then Liu Jiayu is "fire". With light purple hair and light makeup, she admitted that this final was already a victory for herself to "stand and slide down", "I hope to convey to all those who have watched this game and liked this sport - no matter what position you are in, as long as you insist, as long as you believe in yourself, you will successfully complete the action and enjoy the sport you love." ”

The journey of the four Olympic Games is long enough, but Liu Jiayu believes that it is not difficult, "I just enjoy skiing and open up my limits." We did do this Olympic cycle, and in the shortest possible time, we developed three difficult moves in a row and broke through ourselves again. Grades are important, and I aspire to them, but I think the process is more important. For the past four years, I have been very happy every day, and I don't feel the slightest need to persist in pain, because this is what I want to do. ”

For the future, Liu Jiayu has a clearer goal, she bluntly said that she will continue to fight for her fifth Olympic Games, "to enjoy skiing, to enjoy what can be done now, this time firmly I will go to realize my dream in the next four years." "What dream?" Of course it's an Olympic gold medal! I have taken the silver medal, and there is nothing else to take but the gold medal. Liu Jiayu smiled heartily, as she said, "It's not easy for everyone." But as long as you smile happily, everything will pass. ”
