On February 14, the Beijing Winter Olympics entered its 10th competition day, resulting in a total of five gold medals. Xu Mengtao won the gold medal, and Gu Ailing and Su Yiming advanced to the final. What other memorable "moments" are there on and off the field on and off the field?
Xu Mengtao won the gold medal for four Olympic Games to fulfill her dream
After 16 years of playing in the arena, Xu Mengtao's Olympic road is full of hardships. She has the most memorable memory of the Chinese skier's history, the most painful understanding, this day she used an Olympic gold medal to make up for regrets, a world war to seal the gods, and wrote a new history.
Bai Yansong: Why did you become a fan of Xu Mengtao?
Bai Yansong: I really liked her after the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. She had a great performance at that Winter Olympics, winning a silver medal. And became a fan of her at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang because of her attitude towards failure. Before she was very high-profile, the goal was to win the gold medal, and said that after winning the gold medal, she would retire, but she only won the ninth place in that Winter Olympics, and she did not expect this defeat, but it stimulated her to dispel the idea of retiring, and failure became a new starting point for her.
When she decided to start over, a lot of people would sweat because the odds of winning the bet were small, she was approaching 28 years old at the time, and she had 4 major injuries in her entire ten-year athletic career at the time. It can be described as not in the training ground, but in the post-operative ward to recuperate. In an interview, I really became a fan of her, because she laughed and laughed and cried, and she cried and laughed, which I thought was too much like life, and it made me feel her personality strongly.
So today she won the gold medal, which I think is simply perfect. Remember the sentence I quoted from Xu Mengtao when I talked about xu Mengtao earlier? "The reason why the girl is still working hard is because she owes herself a happy look." Well, Xu Mengtao, today you don't owe yourself anything, you can say that everyone saw what happiness is like, and we also shared this happiness.
Fan Bai Yansong most wanted to go to Xu Mengtao's barbecue restaurant
Wang Chunxiao: As a fan, if you have the opportunity to meet Xu Mengtao, what do you most want to do? Group photo?
Bai Yansong: I have not met Xu Mengtao, if I have the opportunity to meet, what I most want to do is not to take a group photo, but to wait until the heat has passed, the epidemic is relatively safe, I can go to the small barbecue restaurant opened by her parents in Anshan and eat a barbecue. It would be nice to have a chat with her parents and two more drinks with her dad.
There is a story behind this desire. She is an Anshan girl, her parents in the past twenty years, from opening a barbecue stall, to later open a small shop, their family's old house is only more than 40 square meters, supporting Xu Mengtao's dream. Occasionally, after Xu Mengtao returned home after training, he went into the back kitchen to "wear strings". Some people also asked Xu Mengtao what does he like to eat most? She said that she loves to eat barbecue the most, and many people may not know the story behind her answer. And she especially loves home, and will mail a particularly good purple-skinned garlic to the family, so that her father is dizzy, saying what is the post garlic? We have in Anshan. But from these stories you can feel what a good girl this is.
Hopefully, one day her story will be written into the review
