Freestyle skiing aerial skills are the traditional strengths of the Chinese team, and at this Winter Olympics, the project has added a mixed group sub-event, adding a new perspective to the Chinese delegation. On the sixth day of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, the freestyle skiing aerial skills mixed team competition ushered in the final in Zhangjiakou. The Chinese team sent Xu Mengtao, Qi Guangpu, Jia Zongyang three "four dynasties elders" to join forces, the two of them combined in age more than 90 years old, Jia Zongyang made a mistake in the second round of the final, the Chinese team regretted to win the silver medal.

What is not known is that in addition to being the "elders of the four dynasties", these three players also graduated from the same college, which is a "brother and sister combination" without compromise. On the night of the final, the front reporting team of the "Home Oil" column and the video number of the Shenyang Television News Comprehensive Channel came to the Shenyang Sports Institute, the alma mater of the three, and witnessed this unforgettable match with their former coaches, teammates and teachers and sisters.

The game process can be described as ups and downs, the first to appear is Xu Mengtao, each action is done very well, when she landed steadily, the rear of the spectator erupted into thunderous applause, and some teachers and disciples even cheered excitedly! However, although Jia Zongyang, who appeared in the second place, also successfully completed the jump and air action links, he made a mistake when landing, ending with a "flip action", and the Chinese team was suddenly pulled apart by 21 points...

In the last jump, all the pressure came to Qi Guangpu, and everyone on the live broadcast scene held their breath: taking off, churning in the air, landing on the ground, with a burst of celebration, everyone's nervous heart finally let go, 324.22 points, the Chinese team against the United States, won the runner-up.

"Our project is full of accidents, and if you want to win the championship, in addition to strength, luck is also very important." After the game, Guo Xinxin, the third runner-up of the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics and a freestyle skiing aerial skills instructor at Shenyang Sports Institute, said in front of the camera. Although it is a pity not to stand on the top podium, the coaches and teammates on the live broadcast site have sincerely praised these three alumni as real warriors and their pride.

Wu Zhihai, a coach at the Shenyang Sports Institute who has coached Xu Mengtao and Jia Zongyang, said that there was no problem with Jia Zongyang's technical level, but he wanted to stand well when he landed, and his center of gravity was a little forward, so there was a mistake. "It just so happens that the opponent is almost extraordinary, and luck failed to side with the Chinese team this time." I hope they are not discouraged, with their strength, as long as they are fully played, the individual competitions in the back are still very promising! ”

Guo Xinxin also said that the hard work of the three alumni over the years and the sweat they have shed in training are all seen in the eyes and remembered in the heart. The pressure behind them is unimaginable to ordinary people, and the silver medal is also the supreme honor.

At the end of the screen, the three teammates also showed a heart-warming scene: Xu Mengtao gave Jia Zongyang a hug for the first time after the game. Jia Zongyang blamed himself a little, and the two teammates comforted him in Northeast Dialect: "It's okay, don't worry!" At the award ceremony that night, the three veterans stood shoulder to shoulder, and the feelings between them may be more precious than the medals.

Some alumni also said that leaving a small regret is not necessarily a bad thing, I believe that they must hold a breath in their hearts, and will come up with a more perfect performance in the next individual competition. "There is no need to say sorry, a mistake cannot affect Jia Zongyang's excellence!" The mistake was only because he was so eager to win the gold medal, and the real Warrior is like that, desperately trying to face the challenge. ”
