Yesterday, Gu Ailing swept the whole network.
She surpassed herself with "stunning jumps" and made history, winning the first freestyle ski jump gold medal in the history of the Winter Olympics for Chinese.
Since then, China has jumped to the top three of the gold medal list.
However, today I am not going to talk to you about championships and medals, but I want to tell you some stories about "losers".
01
Zhu Yi:
Five days ago, with the reputation of "genius after 00" and the expectations of countless people, he appeared at the Winter Olympics.
Two days later, when her name became the "eye of the storm" of public opinion, it was full of controversy, even ridicule.
Play twice, fall twice, cry twice.
Some people questioned: How could such an important place in the Winter Olympics be easily handed over to her?
But is this 19-year-old really as simple as you think?
Zhu Yi was born in 2002 to a Chinese-American family.
His father was a world-renowned computer scientist.
Zhu Yi began to learn to skate at the age of 7 and showed amazing talent.
Before the age of 16, I mastered all kinds of three-week jumps and won the Women's Singles Championships at the National Figure Skating Championships.
Even the well-known American magazine "Figure Skating" has carried a large-scale report on Zhu Yi.
For 9 years, Zhu Yi has insisted on four ice lessons a day, as well as auxiliary exercises, ballet and other hard training.
In 2019, when she renounced her U.S. citizenship, the news came on behalf of China.
The 17-year-old is going through the most important choice of her life.
Very ordinary routine training.
It's almost over.
Inadvertently, the skates hit the foot.
Penetrate deep into the bone marrow.
The injuries were severe and required a long recovery period.
Should I continue my favorite skating, or should I stop there?
This has become a difficult problem in front of Zhu Yi.
In the end, Zhu Yi chose to return to the game.
After the first surgery, the doctor left a sponge on the wound.
In order to catch up with the domestic competition in time, she postponed the time to have another operation.
After that, we saw Zhu Yi participate in various domestic competitions.
And in January 2022, in the Beijing Winter Olympics figure skating five selection competition, with a total score of 732.60 ranked first, won the Beijing Winter Olympics women's single skating quota.
From this, we can also see that in the team skating competition, Zhu Yi made many mistakes because of his unstable mentality when he first participated in the World Series.
Although the Chinese team made a historic breakthrough, it ranked fifth.
But Zhu Yi ranked at the bottom of the women's singles event, delaying the Chinese team.
In the eyes of some people, if it were not for Zhu Yi, this ranking would have been advanced long ago.
As a result, a flood of doubts struck.
After the game, in the face of reporters' questions:
"Have you calculated how many points you can take to help the Chinese team qualify for the free skating competition?"
She choked up and said, "I kept counting yesterday, counting several times..."
