On February 16, 2022, the men's slalom gold medal was won at the Alpine SkiIng Field at the Beijing Winter Olympics, and 24-year-old French player Clement Noel said that the Beijing Winter Olympics left me with good memories.
In the men's round of the first round, Noel finished sixth in 54.30 seconds, which did not look outstanding. Noel then burst out completely, finishing first in the second round in 49.79 seconds and winning the title with a total time of 1:44.09.
Noel talked about his journey from the first round to the gold medal. "I started in the first round and came in the lower place, but I felt there was hope, so I had to give my all. In the second round, I kept trying and got the gold medal, and the moment I crossed the finish line, I was very surprised to see the gap between myself and second place. It seems that the second round showed off my best skills and proved that I could. I'm very proud to be able to perform like this, and it's my perfect moment. Noel said.
Here the masters gather, and it is not easy to win the gold medal. He said: "I don't know if I'm the fastest, but this season I started well, for me, there are the world's top players, a lot of people are optimistic, they also have the ability to win medals, and I am equally confident. ”
Aren't you surprised by this gold medal yourself? Noel said: "Everyone is doing their best, I am no exception, I don't know if it is an accident, I feel good about returning to France with the Olympic gold medal this time." ”
Noel spoke of stress. "It's not easy to perform well in a tight moment, the key is to manage the pressure." Noel said, "Olympic games are always stressful, and only once every 4 years. The game is only 1 minute and a few tens of seconds, and the pressure is very high. My training level is good, which gives me enough confidence. ”
At the same time, Noel also expressed his praise for the Beijing Winter Olympics. "I love the snow here, it feels great in Beijing," he said. To be honest, I was a little anxious before I came here, because I heard that there were a lot of restrictions on covid-19 prevention and didn't know what situation I would encounter. After coming here, I feel that the organization of the Winter Olympics is very good, the snow quality is very good, the venue facilities are also very good, the whole ski park is very excellent, the overall experience is very good. Not only the gold medal, but the entire Beijing Winter Olympics have left me with good memories. ”
