In the final of the freestyle ski women's big jump at the Beijing Winter Olympics, Gu Ailing successfully scored the highest score of 94.50 with the third jump with a difficulty coefficient of 1620, and reversed france's Taisi to win the third gold of the Chinese olympic team and the first gold of the individual Olympic Games.
In the final of the big jump, facing the head-to-head duel of France's Taisi, Gu Ailing did not win easily. Because Taisi is one of the few top players who can complete the 1620 difficulty coefficient action in the women's big jumping event, it is already a ceiling level among the women's players in terms of overall strength.
This is undoubtedly a big challenge for Gu Ailing, who has only been practicing the big jumping project for about a year. Especially in the first jump, Taisi successfully completed the 1620 difficulty coefficient action and scored a game-high 94.50 points.
After two rounds of test jumps, Tess performed extremely steadily, and the game points were firmly at the top of the table. In such a situation, Gu Ailing's last jump actually has two choices, one is to choose a low difficulty coefficient to ensure the smooth completion of the action, so as to impact the silver medal; the other is to try the highly difficult 1620 action, in the breakthrough to launch an impact on the gold medal, in the impact of the gold medal to break through themselves.
Before the third jump, Gu Ailing's mother actually suggested that her daughter choose a safe action, but Gu Ailing, who pursues perfection in everything, finally firmly chose to challenge the 1620 difficulty coefficient. Facts have proved that this choice is correct and rational, on the one hand, it reflects Gu Ailing's confidence in his training results, and on the other hand, it also shows Gu Ailing's determination to challenge himself.
Gu Ailing once said in an interview: The game is not to defeat the opponent, but to seek to break through themselves. This sentence was perfectly interpreted in the third jump when Gu Ailing completed the reversal.
According to the results of the first 2 jumps, Gu Ailing needs to complete the 1620 action of the same difficulty as the first jump of Taisi to have the opportunity to surpass and impact the gold medal.
Self-confidence and determination, coupled with the display of strength, Gu Ailing succeeded!
While successfully winning the 1620 difficulty coefficient action, Gu Ailing also achieved a new breakthrough, becoming the first female player in the world to complete the reverse rotation 1620 action.
Through social media, Gu Ailing did not forget to appear and popularize science to ice and snow lovers: the same is the 1620 difficulty coefficient, why is it more difficult than Taisi's action?
In the free ski jumping competition, each player has their own usual direction of rotation, Taisi chooses the usual direction of rotation, while Gu Ailing uses the reverse rotation. It is equivalent to Gu Ailing increasing the difficulty of reverse rotation on the basis of Taisi's action.
In simple terms, just like in football, one shoots with the usual foot, the other shoots with the opposite foot, and in terms of accuracy and certainty, it is obvious that the reverse foot is more difficult to shoot. In the final, the first jump 1620 used the usual rotation, while Gu Ailing used a reverse rotation.
This also means that although Gu Ailing's action coefficient is also 1620, it is actually more difficult, and even no female player has chosen to challenge the action of reverse rotation 1620 in the official competition. Therefore, Gu Ailing also became the first female player to complete the action.
As we all know, the big jumping project is not Gu Ailing's dominant project, and the formal training time is only one year, in such a situation, Gu Ailing can break through to successfully win gold, which also makes Gu Ailing's next competition more worth looking forward to.
