Yesterday, the winter sports event held in Beijing continued, and the Chinese sports delegation added another gold medal, which is our fifth gold medal in this sports event, and the winner is the veteran Xu Mengtao.
Xu Mengtao anxiously waited for his score after completing the technical action, and when he heard that he had become the first place, he couldn't believe it, desperately asking "Am I the first?" Did we win? ”。
Sure to get the first place, Xu Mengtao was happy and broken. Admittedly, every athlete who wins the gold medal will be very happy, but Xu Mengtao is especially happy, because she has waited for this gold medal for too long. In the freestyle skiing aerial skills competition, Xu Mengtao has been painstakingly honing for more than 20 years.
She has won gold medals in many competitions, but Xu Mengtao has never won a gold medal in winter sports events. For such a gold medal, Xu Mengtao trained hard, has not returned home for 20 years for the New Year, and has competed in four winter sports events before and after.
After winning the coveted gold medal yesterday, Xu Mengtao broke the "domination" of Australian athletes over the project for more than 10 years, directly helped the Chinese sports delegation to equal the record high number of gold medals at the winter sports event held in Vancouver, and also achieved a breakthrough of zero gold medals in China's ice and snow sports in the freestyle skiing aerial event.
What is more worth mentioning is that Xu Mengtao gave everything she had to participate in this competition, and she underwent meniscus removal surgery shortly before the competition, cutting 70% of the meniscus in order to return to the competition in time. With injuries on the battlefield, Xu Mengtao dreamed of gold medals, which was very touching. Everyone sighed at Xu Mengtao's persistence and hard work, and was touched by her sportsmanship. This gold medal was won not only for China, but also for her own hardships of more than 20 years.
