On February 14, Beijing time, the Freestyle Skiing Chinese Women's Aerial Skills Team finally won the Winter Olympic Championship.
24 years ago, the Chinese team participated in this project for the first time and was a strong contender for the championship. 16 years ago, Xu Mengtao participated in this project for the first time. However, the Chinese team, only silver and bronze medals, did not once stand on the highest podium.
Today, Xu Mengtao made the last jump, 108.61 points, and finally held the gold medal in his hand. The dream of all the members of the Chinese team has come true!
Freestyle skiing aerial skills have always been the strength of the Chinese team. However, in many competitions, only Han Xiaopeng has won the men's championship. The female player has not been associated with the highest podium.
24 years ago, as a performance project at the Nagano Winter Olympics, Xu yuanyuan won the runner-up in women's freestyle skiing aerial skills.
After that, no matter how good the Chinese team was, the highest achievement was only silver medal, no championship.
Li Nina, Zhang Xin and Xu Mengtao have competed for 3 consecutive years and are all runners-up. With the champion, there is always only a little difference.
As early as the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, the women's freestyle skiing aerial skills were considered the biggest guarantee for the Chinese team's gold medal to break through 0. Unfortunately, both players made mistakes.
Since then, in every competition, Chinese players have been listed as big hits, including Xu Mengtao.
Nina Li is the first contestant in this event who won the most races. Unfortunately, she got second twice and third once.
Han Xiaopeng's Xuzhou compatriot Zhang Xin is also considered the most promising player of the Chinese team to attack this championship. Unfortunately, she only finished second.
The pressure on Chinese players is evident.
In this competition, the Chinese team first lost the championship of the team competition. This was one of the biggest events for the Chinese team, but only finished second due to mistakes.
However, this cannot be blamed on the Chinese players. They've been playing for a number of times, and many have reached the final year of their careers.
Xu Mengtao is also a veteran, and in the previous competition, her best result was the runner-up, and the worst result was the eighth. But unlike in the past, this time, Xu Mengtao chose a more difficult and technical action. In the case that the movement is not stretched, it is completed and gets a relatively high score. 、
And this, perhaps, is the experience of veterans.
In the past competition, the Chinese women's team had an advantage in freestyle skiing aerial skills, and the opponent attacked us. One can't do two, and in the final, almost no one chooses to be conservative. In this way, the advantages of the Chinese women's team's stability and large number of people have been diluted.
Falling again and again has taught the Chinese team this way.
Whether it is Xu Mengtao or Kong Fanyu, they have chosen high difficulty. Of the two, as long as one of them comes down smoothly, the champion will arrive. As a result, the Chinese team's tactics were completely correct and they fought for this championship.
Xu Mengtao's dream has come true, and the Chinese women's freestyle skiing aerial skills have come true. This is also the common dream of Zhang Xin, Li Nina, Xu Yuanyuan Cheng Shuang, Guo Xinxin and others.
And Kong Fanyu still has a chance, she is likely to participate in the next Winter Olympics. The goal of the Chinese women now is to continue such a championship.
With Xu Mengtao's experience, this project is still the dominant project of the Chinese team.
