Nearly halfway through the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, the athletes' hard work infected all spectators and triggered global enthusiasm for ice and snow.
"Superstar" Gu Ailing: a talented girl who constantly breaks through herself
At the Beijing Winter Olympics, 18-year-old Chinese athlete Gu Ailing came out of the circle, "the first gold in the snow at the Chinese Women's Winter Olympics", "Stanford Xueba", "all-round genius", "beautiful girl with high emotional intelligence"...

In the final of the freestyle ski women's big jump on February 8, Gu Ailing jumped the super difficulty of 1620 for the first time in the final jump, and won the gold medal with a high score of 94.50 and a total score of 188.25 points.
This achievement has amazed many professionals.
Although there have been Previous Attempts by French players on the 1620 move, the rotation from the right is positive. Gu Ailing did the reverse 1620 this time, she said that she had only done the reverse 1080 before, this time adding a 540° rotation to this action. It is like a person who is accustomed to using his right hand, suddenly holding chopsticks with his left hand, and he has made a turn that is called "ceiling" level.
The effort behind this "genius girl" is even more enjoyable: she requires herself to maintain self-discipline - to ensure more than 10 hours of sleep every day, to keep a diary after work and study, and to do the best in every action during training. To avoid disrupting the rhythm, she trained on the snow for hours without eating a bite or drinking a mouthful of water.
It is reported that Gu Ailing's mother once persuaded her to choose a moderate difficulty coefficient and safe action on the phone. However, Gu Ailing did not think so, if the third round was based on the scheduled 1260, the best result could only be the second and third places. Therefore, Gu Ailing made up his mind in the first five minutes of the 3rd round to do his best to complete the left turn bi-weekly deflection rotation body 1620, which is also super difficult for ski genius Gu Ailing.
She did it! She won her first gold medal at the Winter Olympics and set a record for skiing in China. However, the big jump is Gu Ailing's "weakest" event, followed by two strong points of U-shaped pool and slope obstacles, if there is no accident, she is very likely to win 3 gold medals in this Olympic Games.

Su Yiming, a 17-year-old Chinese athlete, won a silver medal in the men's snowboard slope obstacle course final on February 7, a historic breakthrough for China, and he was affectionately known as the "little plug". Because he played the role of "Little Plug" in the 2014 film "Wise Tiger Mountain" directed by Xu Ke.
However, after the end of this game, many domestic and foreign netizens and experts have some doubts about the score of the referee group, especially the champion Max in the second round of a jump action actually did not complete the grab, should be deducted 2 to 3 points. "It completely subverts the podium." If Max is deducted 3 points, then Su Yiming will be the final champion winner.
Even a few days later, the controversy surrounding the referee's decision continued. Su Yiming mentioned in an interview after winning the silver medal: "I didn't pay special attention to the score of each referee, but I am very happy to get this score. Either way, we all had a lot of fun. In this final, everyone is in first place. ”

He himself wondered: "Why is it that I know that I can do well in training, but I always lose in the game?" In the men's singles at the 2021 Figure Skating World Championships, he finished only 22nd, third from the bottom. For a moment, doubts poured in.
Everything can only be answered with effort. Since September, he has been training according to the timing of the Winter Olympics, "more than twice as much as the last Winter Olympics." ”
The persistence in "The Night" has finally paid off. From the short program of the team competition, the free skating of the team competition, the short program of the individual competition and then to the free skating, he was steady and steady, calm and calm, and finally returned after a thousand sails. In the post-match interview, Jin Boyang admitted that the past 4 years have been very difficult for him personally, "but today's game, I feel particularly good, especially perfect. My idea is no longer to compete for medals, but to constantly break through myself and satisfy myself, which is my spiritual gold medal. ”
"I was born a mountain, not a stream, and I want to look down on the mediocre ravines at the top of the peaks. Jin Boyang defeated Jin Boyang! Commentator Chen Ying praised.
