In the women's final of the Beijing Winter Olympics snowboard jump on the morning of the 15th, the defending champion of the project and Austrian star Gasser staged a "big reversal" again after the final of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, winning the championship with the last jump. New Zealand rising star Zoe Sarnott finished runner-up and 17-year-old Japanese teenager Shinki Murase won bronze.
The top three players
In the final stage of the competition, several masters who are expected to win the medal and compete for gold staged a "peak showdown" that was both wonderful and heart-warming.
According to the format, the big jump competition is played in three rounds, and in the last round, the players appear in reverse order according to the ranking of the first two rounds. After the eight contestants finished the competition, Zoe, Gasser, Murase Shinki and Iwase Reiko were still in the top four. The four successfully completed both directional moves in the first two rounds, ensuring a higher score, and will sacrifice higher difficulties in the final jump to start the final medal and championship battle.
Lile Iwaso, who is temporarily in fourth place, took the lead and made a splash at the last Winter Olympics, finishing fourth at the age of less than 17. Determined to hit the podium, Li Le challenged the ultra-difficult action of the 1260-degree air flip three-turn body, which had already landed on the ground, but lost its balance and lay down on the track. The unsuccessful Iwami Jumped Up, kicked off the snowboard, threw off her gloves, snow mirrors, and helmet, muttered in chagrin, and shed tears. The action failed, but the runners who had finished the race on the sidelines and had not yet left ran back to the track to comfort and encourage Lile, and several girls huddled together, including China's Jung.
Players from all over the world, including China's Jung (No. 30), comfort shinki Murase, who made a mistake
Iwaso Lile won the fourth place, and the podium ranking depends on the performance of the other three players. Murase did not hesitate to choose the 1260-degree action, but it also ended in failure. Gasser, the "three materials" champion of the World Extreme Games, the World Championships and the Winter Olympics, who appeared later, beautifully completed the first 1260-degree action of the whole game, and scored a game-high score of 95.50 points, ranking more than the previous third runner-up Zoe.
At this time, Zoe on the departure stage did not see any anxiety, but excitedly applauded Gasser. Subsequently, she also challenged the 1260-degree movement, but did not succeed. After the score was scored, Zoe smiled regretfully and went forward to congratulate the rival on successfully defending the title. The three girls embraced each other warmly.
"I didn't play many high-level competitions before, but the happiest thing about this Winter Olympics is that I have met a lot of new people." Jung said that the atmosphere of snowboarding is exactly like this, everyone has the same hobby, compete with each other, but also help each other, encourage each other, and challenge the limits together, "I will be happy for them to see them challenge their most difficult moves." In the future, I will also challenge more difficult moves. ”
