On the Winter Olympics on February 10, some people missed the gold medal because of mistakes, some people tried their best to still rub shoulders with the medals, and some people were excited and wept because they defeated themselves.
The last stubbornness outside the medal

Warm your heart in the snow and ice
Before leaving, Jia Zongyang stroked his chest and breathed calmly, he did not want to be affected by the previous american player who played well.
Raising his hand, he set off, and after rushing out of the jumping platform, Jia Zongyang's movements in the air were very stretched, but he was too pursuit of perfection when he landed, and a front flip fell out...
Immediately after, only the sound of "ah-" was heard, and the Liaoning Hanzi who had won the 4th Olympic Games roared angrily, holding his head and covering his face in chagrin, and tears spilled on the field.
On the evening of February 10, in the freestyle ski aerial skills mixed team final at the Zhangjiakou Genting Ski Park, the Chinese team made a mistake due to the second appearance of Jia Zongyang, and finally won the silver medal with a total score of 324.22 points. The United States team won the gold medal, and the Canadian team finished third.
The aerial skill mixed team is a new sub-event of this Beijing Winter Olympics, just like the short track speed skating mixed team, the Chinese team rushed to the gold medal!
In the final round, the Chinese team Xu Mengtao, Qi Guangpu and Jia Zongyang played hand in hand, and the 3 athletes participated in the Winter Olympics for the fourth time, and what supported them was the "stubbornness" of the veterans.
The result of the game is somewhat regrettable, but the 3 veterans have gone all out, especially Jia Zongyang, who has already won the silver and bronze medals, and he wants to win more than anyone.
And the heart-warming scene at the scene also made everyone more aware of "what is the Chinese team" - after Jia Zongyang returned to the starting point, teammate Xu Mengtao gave him a tight hug for the first time!
Xu Mengtao said: "We must advance together, and we will retreat together!" We really worked really hard and we were all good!" Qi Guangpu said: "We still have a game next, please continue to support us!"
And Jia Zongyang couldn't bear it any longer and cried out irrepressibly...
They didn't stand on the podium
But it deserves applause
With 81.25 points, ranking fourth, Cai Xuetong, a Chinese women's U-shaped track skill player who played the Winter Olympics for 4 games, raised her best ranking in the Winter Olympics one more place.
In the music of "Heaven and Earth", Yu yu chord challenges his heart's 4A (Axel jumping around) - he falls, he is close to success, he is already the "lone brave" of figure skating history. The two-time winner of the Winter Olympics and The Japanese figure skater Yu Yusei, who finished in Beijing, was fixed in fourth place.
On the 10th of the Winter Olympic Games, they failed to get on the podium, and they were always exploring and challenging their own limits, leaving not regrets, but legends.
Since stepping on a snowboard for the first time at the age of 11, Cai Xuetong has dedicated all his enthusiasm to the sport.
From 2010 to 2020, 6 World Cup overall trophies... Cai Xuetong has shown her unlimited potential to the world and has become one of the leading figures in snowboarding in China.
Two 900 moves, 1080 moves... In the final of the women's U-shaped field skill of snowboarding that day, Cai Xuetong almost took out her highest difficulty moves, and she achieved her limit.
"In fact, I have no regrets in the preparation process, I have a good grasp of every day of training." Cai Xuetong, 28, said that if he still has the ability, he will continue to challenge his limits in the future.
The music stopped, and Yusei yushin stretched out his arms and leaned back, a gesture that remained for a long time. He then bowed deeply to the referee and the audience, a smile on his face. After leaving the scene, he bowed deeply again, touched the ice surface affectionately, and then touched his eyes...
Yusei Yushin once said, "The goal that cannot be achieved is my goal." His obsession with the ultra-difficult action 4A, in a sense, even exceeds the "gold medal"!
After the game, Yu sheng yuxin confessed that although he regretted it, he insisted on his "stubbornness". "In today's arena, although it is still a little bit off, I have done my best to achieve 4A, for me, this is a winter Olympics full of dignity, I am proud of it."
Although Chinese figure skater Jin Boyang won the 9th place on the same day, he also staged an emotional scene of "overcoming himself"——
Jin Boyang, who appeared in the 14th time, completed the action cleanly and beautifully in the free skate, and scored a record season-high 179.45 points.
After the game, Jin Boyang first raised his arms and shouted, and then covered his face on the ice and cried. "I feel worthy of all the hard work in these 4 years, I skated myself."
