A total of 12 players participated in the final stage, and each player will play two rounds. The two groups with higher scores will be ranked as valid scores, and after two rounds, the top six players will advance to the last round of the competition, and the six players in the last round will have zero points and the winner will be determined by one jump. Jia Zongyang and Qi Guangpu appeared in the last two, among the players who played before them, the Swiss player scored 126.61 points, and the biggest competitor, the American star Lilis, scored 125.67 points.
Jia Zongyang chose a set of actions of medium difficulty, the whole set of actions is almost perfect, got 123.45 points, Qi Guangpu also chose the same difficulty of the action, the same is impeccable, got 125.22 points, after this group of competition, Jia Zongyang ranked fifth, Qi Guangpu third. In the second round, before the Chinese players appeared, Jia Zongyang's ranking had slipped to outside the sixth place, and he could only jump another round with all his strength, this time he increased the difficulty to 4.525, and as a result, there was a mistake to withdraw from the final competition, and Qi Guangpu advanced to the final round in fourth place.
In the last round of the competition, the six qualified players started from scratch, and Qi Guangpu came out in the third place, directly choosing the extreme difficulty of 5.000, and the air was almost perfect!! But the landing is slightly flawed, got a high score of 129.00, the next two players also chose to fight for the ultimate difficulty, but both suffered failures, and the last player will decide the color of Qi Guangpu's medals. The Russian-Austrian team Brov chose a difficulty move of 4.900, and the completion was also very good, and the referee finally gave the score, 114.93 points, and Qi Guangpu locked the championship !!!
Whether it is Qi Guangpu or Jia Zongyang, their World Cup, World Championship honors have been completed, only the Olympic Games have regrets, especially Jia Zongyang has won the bronze medal and silver medal, I really hope that he can realize his dream like Xu Mengtao, but we can only feel sorry for him. Finally, congratulations to Qi Guangpu, the same elder of the Four Dynasties, the same tears, bitter heart of the day to live up to! Our athletes can always tell us what it means to persevere!!
