On February 17, Beijing time, Gu Ailing skated 93.75 points and 95.50 points in the two rounds of the freestyle ski women's U-shaped track skill qualifier, and there was no suspense to advance to the final. CCTV also praised Gu Ailing's strength, saying that opponents were out of reach. However, If Gu Ailing wants to win the championship in the final, she still needs to play steadily, because her achievement is placed in Pyeongchang, and she is still 0.3 points behind the champion and cannot win the championship.
In the previous competition, Gu Ailing has won the gold medal in the big jump and the silver medal in the slope obstacle course, and the performance of 1 gold and 1 silver has been very good. The U-shaped track skills are Gu Ailing's strongest sport, she once skated 97.50 points in this project, known as the most perfect performance in the history of the women's U-shaped field competition. It can be said that Gu Ailing is determined to win this gold medal.
In the first slide, Gu Ailing's play was very good, and the opening two 900 movements instantly reflected his uniqueness. In the end, Gu Ailing scored 93.75 points in the first slide. This achievement made Gu Ailing rank first. On the second slide, Gu Ailing adopted the same movement as the first slide. In the end, Gu Ailing's action was better completed, and he got a high score of 95.50 points. After two rounds, Gu Ailing is still in the first place.
CCTV also praised Gu Ailing's difficulty and degree of completion that made opponents unattainable. Gu Ailing is also relatively satisfied with his performance, and has been hanging an iconic smile. However, if Gu Ailing wants to win gold in the final, there will be a little hidden danger. At the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, Canada's Sharp won the championship with a score of 95.80 points, which is higher than Gu Ailing's 95.50.
Of course, this is only the qualification round, gu Ailing should have some reservations, after all, she has slipped 97.50 points. Moreover, Sharp is now close to 30 years old. She scored only 86.25 and 79 points in two rounds of qualifying. Gu Ailing's strongest opponent should be another Canadian player, Kak, and his old rival Sildaru.
