On the last day of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chinese delegation to the Beijing Winter Olympics announced the candidates for the closing ceremony. The male flag bearer is Gao Tingyu, and the female flag bearer is Xu Mengtao. The two can be said to be well deserved.
Gao Tingyu is only 24 years old and is a Chinese speed skater. In the men's 500m final of speed skating at the Beijing Winter Olympics, Gao Tingyu won the championship with a time of 34.32 seconds, while breaking the Olympic record of 34.41 seconds set by Norway's Havar Holmefiul Lorensen at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. It was also the first speed skating gold medal won in the men's Winter Olympics since the Chinese delegation participated in the Winter Olympics for the first time in 1980.
Gao Tingyu set a historical record for the Chinese Winter Olympics. Gao Tingyu participated in the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, winning the bronze medal in the speed skating 500 meters. This time I finally changed the color to gold.
Gao Tingyu was also the flag bearer of the opening ceremony. After learning that he was selected as the flag bearer of the opening ceremony and participated in the opening ceremony, Gao Tingyu posted on the social platform to express his gratitude and excitement. When he was again appointed as the flag bearer of the closing ceremony, Gao Tingyu once again posted to express his feelings. He is honored to have the opportunity to serve as the flag bearer of the closing ceremony with Xu Mengtao after his partner Zhao Dan as the flag bearer of the opening ceremony. He believes that this is not only an individual honor, but also an honor for the entire speed skating national team. Gao Tingyu thanked the country and the delegation, and thanked all walks of life for their support and love for him.
Gao Tingyu is a very personal and flamboyant athlete. After he won the gold medal in the 500-meter speed skating, the award ceremony was held. South Korea's runner-up, Cha Min-kyu, deliberately wiped the podium before taking the stage. This action clearly means something.
After Gao Tingyu saw it, he jumped to the championship podium. In this way, he fired back high-profile che Min Kui. In an interview with this topic, Gao Tingyu made it clear: "Why do I have to jump on it? Walk up there. Let them honestly listen to our national anthem. Gao Tingyu even said, "If there weren't many people, I would have kicked him twice." ”
Gao Tingyu is so domineering. Koreans behave so rudely, why get used to them? It's time to fight back, or to fight back.
Xu Mengtao is the elder of the Chinese Winter Olympic delegation. Xu Mengtao, who is almost 32 years old, has participated in the Winter Olympics four times and won a silver medal at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. She previously won 27 world championships. Finally, at the time of the 28th world championship, the dream of the Winter Olympic gold medal was realized. She won the gold medal in women's aerial skills in freestyle skiing at the Beijing Winter Olympics. The Chinese delegation has won the silver and bronze medals in the women's aerial skills of freestyle skiing several times. Xu Mengtao finally achieved the "0" breakthrough of the mainland freestyle ski women's aerial skills gold medal. Xu Mengtao also made history.
These two men deserved to serve as the flag bearers of the closing ceremony.
At the moment of winning the championship, Xu Mengtao couldn't even believe his eyes. She asked aloud in a hysterical voice, "Am I number one?" Am I number one? "It made people cry when they heard it. Athletes are not easy, Xu Mengtao persevered for 16 years, and won the gold medal in the fourth Winter Olympics, so that his sports career could be completed.
Xu Mengtao also posted a thank you. She thanked the country, the delegation. "I feel particularly happy and excited to be the flag bearer of the closing ceremony. This is not an honor for me alone, but the result of the efforts of everyone in China's ice and snow and China's freestyle skiing aerial skills team. Love you guys, see you at the closing ceremony! ”
Looking forward to the wonderful performance of Gao Tingyu and Xu Mengtao at the closing ceremony. You deserve this honor.
