February 15, Beijing time, the 11th match day of the Beijing Winter Olympics.
In the freestyle ski women's slope obstacle course competition that ended today, in the case of a huge mistake in the second jump, the third jump withstood the pressure to complete the third jump, and won a valuable silver medal in a round to turn the situation around, which is also the first medal in the history of the Winter Olympics in this project, and also the second medal of Gu Ailing's individual winter Olympics.
For his third jump, Gu Ailing said in a post-match interview: "It's really fun. All the while, I've been enjoying it. There was a fall in the middle, not so good. In the end, I learned and broke through, which felt very good. The third jump, I knew it was the last jump, unleashing all my abilities and showing myself. "As spectators of the competition, we can also feel Gu Ailing's strong psychological quality, whether it is a big jump or a slope obstacle skill, whether it is a final or a qualifier, she can always play at a high level under pressure.
It is worth mentioning that in the later award ceremony, Gu Ailing wore a five-star red flag on the camera, this move is also to smash some netizens on her big jump to win the gold after not showing the national flag, in fact, this is not the first time Gu Ailing wore the national flag after the podium, as early as the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics, she has already had such a move, there is really no need to tangle in this matter, and even on the line.
Gu Ailing's nationality issue has triggered the topic for more than a day, but I believe that as Gu Ailing continues to win honors in the competition, such arguments will become less and less, Gu Ailing sincerely identifies with the Chinese national culture, will speak fluent Chinese, repeatedly emphasize her Chinese identity, and really won medals and honors for the mainland, no matter what kind of smear is useless, and with Gu Ailing's sunny mentality, she will not care about these gossip.
