Live Bar February 17 news In the past many Beijing Winter Olympic Games competition days, the Chinese freestyle skiing aerial skills team competed in Chongli in the national attention, and finally won 2 gold and 1 silver in the mixed team, women's individual and men's individual events.
Aerial skills have always been the traditional strengths of China's snow sports, but behind the momentum of the Beijing Winter Olympics is the persistence and hard work of a group of veterans and newcomers, throwing away injuries and tears, chasing dreams and hopes, and making China finally on top of the world in this project.
Mixed Group Project: A Brewing Explosion of Regret
Xu Mengtao, 31, Jia Zongyang, 30, and Qi Guangpu, 31, have been working with aerial skills projects for more than 10 years. Time occasionally shines, occasionally dims, and they all finally survive to the Beijing Winter Olympics.
The Aerial Skills Mixed Group is a new event for the Beijing Winter Olympics. Compared with individual competitions, team competitions require more balanced ability of all employees, and a fixed format requires more stable performance of all employees. On the bright as day field, everyone's performance will determine the fate of the team.
On the evening of February 10, the mixed team final began, and Xu Mengtao, who went to the Winter Olympics for the fourth time, withstood the pressure to take the first place for the whole team. Then Jia Zongyang made a mistake in a jump. Under the eyes of the whole audience, Qi Guangpu played perfectly in the last jump, but in terms of overall results, it was useless.
After the game, Qi Guangpu's "why did the last jump not increase the difficulty" became the focus of attention from the outside world. He responded that he had been preparing in the athletes' waiting area, did not know the score of the scene before departure, focused on his own movements, and thought about doing his own actions well before leaving.
In fact, there is no need to care about Jia Zongyang's failure in the competition, nor do you have to care that Qi Guangpu is not able to turn the tide, a heavy winter Olympic silver medal, is already a return to the years. The regrets left in the collective project also allowed the aerial skills team to gather strength to brew up on individual projects.
Women's Individual Event: Bloom in Silence
The night of the arrival of the women's individual event final was the night when Xu Mengtao touched her dream again. On the evening of February 14, 12 of the world's top female air skills players, including Xu Mengtao, came to the jumping slope. No one can measure how many ups and downs this Chinese girl has gone through for the sake of her dreams.
The final was divided into two rounds, with the 6 best players in the first round advancing to the final showdown in the second round. The gold medal is simple and cruel, and the winner is determined by one jump. In the suffocating final round of jumps, the two Chinese women did not flinch in the face of strong hands - they both challenged the highest difficulty of 4.293, let go!
Kong Fanyu took the lead and regretted his mistake. Xu Mengtao then appeared, just like in the first round of the game, standing above the three-week stage, she did not shout and cheer herself, and in the big screen of the scene, her eyes were firm and bright. Gliding, taking off, a white light cut through the night sky, took off, flipped, and successfully stood on the ground! At 108.61 minutes, the sound of crowd and music sounded.
As rivals Caldwell and Laura Peel both failed to challenge the difficult move, Xu Mengtao began to turn around and celebrate, winning the coveted gold medal for herself and for China – the first Winter Olympic gold medal in Chinese women's aerial skills.
After the game, "Chinese Golden Flower" Xu Mengtao fell to her knees in the snow wearing a national flag, and the picture of her turning around and screaming with tears spread all over the world. Ordinary people can not imagine the hard work, finally returned to this moment of bloom, and the arrival of the beijing Winter Olympics Chinese delegation's fifth gold, but also let the teammates in the men's individual event before the decisive battle of the confidence doubled.
