Compared with the players who ranked before her at that time, the girl born in Harbin had to fight on the difficulty of the action if she wanted to stand on the podium. But, can she?
Li Fanghui won the silver medal in women's U-shaped field skills at the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics in Lausanne, and stood on the podium with then gold medalist Gu Ailing. Li Fanghui has always been known for her "stability" in technical movements, and although her popularity at home and abroad is much lower than that of Gu Ailing, in the past three seasons (including the ongoing season), her U-shaped venue skills project World Cup ranking has actually been firmly in the top five.
In the second slide, when she appeared in the departure area at the top of the U-shaped field, the little girl put her snow pole on her chest, as if simulating some kind of rotational action.
Let's go! She first made a "sound-deadening grab board", followed by a backward slip right deflection axis 540 "Japanese grab board", followed by a backward slip left turn 360 "Japanese grab board", the height of the air is good, but the difficulty of the action is still too general.
After two more moves, Li Fanghui has slid to the end of the U-shaped field, will this trip end in such a decent way? At this moment, she unexpectedly released a "big move" that had never been used in an official game before - the 1080 "silenced grab board" of zheng skating!
Seeing her steady landing and excitedly shaking her arms, the commentator Chinese the scene suddenly "emotionally exploded", and he passionately introduced this "unknown" Chinese player to the audience, introducing her extraordinary play, and people also boiled.

With 86.50 points, the little girl's ranking rose one place again, temporarily ranking fourth. Will she finally be on the podium at the Beijing Winter Olympics?
Towards the end of the second slide, Estonian star Kelly Sildaru, who came in third from the bottom, scored 87.00 points, which brought Li Fanghui back to fifth place.
Can only be in the last slip to let go of a fight!
When Li Fanghui appeared at the top of the U-shaped venue for the third time, there was applause on the venue, and many spectators cheered for the "star of hope" of the Chinese team.
Li Fanghui set off again! The first four movements are the same as in the second slide. The fifth move, which looks like it's going to make 900 spins, is much stronger than the second slide she did in the same position.
Li Fanghui fell on landing, and the little girl wanted to slide backwards and land on the ground, but the snowboard stubbornly refused to control. She fell on her back to the bottom of the U-shaped field, her head against the bottom of the hill, lying on the smooth snow and "slipping out".
Experienced skiers know that at this point she can stop herself by rubbing her snowboard or twisting her body slightly.
But Li Fanghui opened her arms and allowed herself to slip all the way down the mountain. As the ramp slowed down, the body of the "outflower" gradually stopped, but the little girl still lay on the slope for a while, as if saying goodbye to the field that carried her dreams.

With regret, she ended her last slide at the Beijing Winter Olympics in this way. In the end, Li Fanghui ranked fifth, and the result was only 1.25 points away from the third place.
After the game, Li Fanghui was unwilling and told her feelings after the mistake of that jump in a choked tone.
"I wanted to try to stand, that action I was actually able to land, I was able to land in training, alas, but still did not pull back."
"Over the years, everyone has worked hard, and everyone has improved the difficulty and improved the grasping board together. We all played brilliantly! Take all you have out. ”
"Today's game, half of it I was quite satisfied, but the last trip had regrets, so I was a little dissatisfied with myself!"
As the interview progressed, the little girl's tone gradually returned to calm and strong. Journalists who interviewed her at the Lausanne Winter Youth Olympic Games and world cups know that In the past, Li Fanghui was a quiet-talking girl, and she rarely expressed her emotions so cheerfully in front of the media and talked so smoothly.
"Fang Hui, I feel that you are more talkative than you were in Lausanne?" Xinhua asked.
"Because this sport is more free, its style will make me more cheerful, especially when I ski, I will be particularly happy." Li Fanghui replied.
"Sometimes I get a little annoyed, but I vent through training. This sport is great! The 18-year-old girl said.
