When the reporter began to ask Jia Zongyang questions, he couldn't bear it any longer, bowed his head and cried.

Jia Zongyang said: "I really can't say this feeling, no one can feel my mood." Looking back on these 4 years, the players and coaches of our entire team, including every staff member, have paid a lot every day. My mistake caused us to lose this gold medal, to live up to the whole team, to live up to the trust of my teammates, really sorry. ”

In Xu Mengtao's view, in the freestyle skiing aerial skills competition full of uncertainties, any accident is normal and reasonable, and what the player can do is to do his best and accept all the results. She said: "Competitive sports are like this, and when I came today, I was doing my best and obeying my destiny. I want to show my skills and performance on the field. ”
