In the post-match award ceremony, when the host announced the name of the champion, Gao Tingyu jumped up and "flew" onto the championship podium. This precious gold medal, Gao Tingyu waited too long, the Chinese speed skating team waited too long
！
Just 10 minutes ago, when the results of the last group of players were released, Gao Tingyu and the coach hugged each other tightly. Subsequently, Gao Tingyu took out the national flag that had been prepared long ago, held aloft the national flag and circled around the field for half a week, and jumped up and shouted to release the pressure in his heart.
"In this competition, a champion who does not break the Olympic record is equal to a white hand!" On the evening of the 12th, in the ice ribbon that breaks the Olympic record every day, Gao Tingyu won the speed skating men's 500 meters championship with an Olympic record-breaking result! This is not only the fourth gold of the Chinese delegation, the first gold of his own Olympic Games, but also the first gold in the history of the Winter Olympics of the Chinese men's speed skating team, which is of great significance. No wonder Gao Tingyu was so excited. At the same time, Gao Tingyu also broke the "curse" that the standard-bearer of the Chinese delegation could not win the gold medal at the current Winter Olympics. "When I was the flag bearer, I was scared to death." But I still hope that the Chinese delegation can win the victory, and I have always comforted myself. But the spell is used to break, and when you get to the field, you slip it. ”
After a brief souvenir ceremony, Gao Tingyu, led by the award ceremony staff, came to the sidelines closer to the audience to take photos. At this time, Gao Tingyu made the action of throwing the "golden pier" to the stands, which caused the stands to exclaim. But then everyone found that Gao Tingyu just turned around in a circle, and the gold pier in his hand did not fly up to the stands. Such a cute limited edition ice pier, who would be willing to throw it out and give it away?
Coming to the scene of the press conference, Gao Tingyu answered the reporter's questions with an unhurried and unhurried speed, and the witty words came out frequently. "When the flag bearer had no pressure and didn't see me as the flag bearer, the Chinese delegation won the opening and won the gold medal the next day."
At the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, Gao Tingyu, who participated in the Winter Olympics for the first time, won a valuable bronze medal, which was also the first medal of the Chinese men's speed skating team at the Winter Olympics. In the past four years, Gao Tingyu has overcome many difficulties, especially an injury, and persevered to Beijing. Today, Gao Tingyu has fulfilled his promise of "changing the color of the medal". In this regard, Gao Tingyu only used one sentence to summarize, but it was extremely powerful, "As a Chinese, we must do what we say." ”
A simple sentence is not enough to summarize the suffering that Gao Tingyu has suffered in the past 4 years. But once everything is ready, the on-the-spot play is crucial. Speed skating is different from short track speed skating, and players only need to compete with themselves on their own tracks, without considering the mutual influence and blocking. Gao Tingyu admitted that he can win today, and the mentality is crucial. After four years of training, Gao Tingyu is no longer the young player who debuted in the Winter Olympic Games.
After coming to the ice ribbon, he was injured, and did not make too many preparations, but wore a coat and waited to leave. It wasn't until near his turn that Gao Tingyu took off his coat and looked different. Mentioning this detail after the game, Gao Tingyu said that the tactical aspect is a secret and cannot be revealed. And the warm-up arrangement before the opening, Gao Tingyu only gave the reason of "I am afraid of cold".
After the starting gun sounded, Gao Tingyu took advantage of his fast departure to the extreme. Sure enough, he ranked first with an Olympic record-breaking result. Talking about his determination in the game, Gao Tingyu's words are even more impressive, "In a game, who loses and who wins is unknown, that is, the real knife and gun are really done, and no one will let anyone." They have all come to the door, can they still get used to him? ”
After completing the race, Gao Tingyu silently waited for the other 8 groups of 16 players behind him to play, including the defending champion Lorensen and the South Korean player Che Minkui and other masters. "My mood was like a roller coaster, until the last group, I was under a lot of pressure, everyone was very eager to win, and in the end I did it."
As a northeastern man who spoke slowly and logically, but spoke wittily, Gao Tingyu's speech at the press conference caused a burst of laughter. When a foreign reporter asked him to evaluate what kind of personality he was, Gao Tingyu said surprisingly, "Gelu (Northeast dialect, meaning alternative). ”
Talking about the next arrangement, Gao Tingyu admitted that he most wanted to rest now, recover from injuries and then consider other things. "I'm actually not happy with today's results, I've slipped faster in training." Such a "Versailles" makes people feel the cuteness of Gao Tingyu.
"I heard that my relatives and friends in my hometown are paying attention to my game, and everyone has a hard time in the New Year, so I will go back and invite you to dinner." It is such an athlete who does not speak much and has a lot of witty words that has achieved a historic breakthrough in the avenue skating for the Chinese delegation.
Every Olympic champion has a unique personality and is different. But they all have a common feature, that is, they can constantly break through themselves and always move towards higher goals.
Gao Tingyu, who has a shy personality, uses a "big ballast" flavor conference to make many people begin to get familiar with him and like him. However, the Winter Olympics will eventually close, through high-level athletes to arouse public attention, further expand the influence of ice and snow sports in China, drive more people to like and engage in ice and snow sports, consolidate the achievements of 300 million people on ice and snow, is the more important significance of the Winter Olympics.
