Gao Tingyu, a famous Chinese speed skater at the Beijing Winter Olympics, continued to "schedule" after the end of the Olympic Games. During the quarantine period, Gao Tingyu not only gave live interviews to the media many times, but also interacted with netizens on personal social platforms and shared his isolation life. This speed skating guy, with his super personal ability and handsome face, quickly became popular in the sports world. After winning the men's 500 meters at the Olympic Games, Sochi Winter Olympic champion Zhang Hong and former Chinese speed skater Ye Qiaobo said that Gao Tingyu is a talented athlete in China's speed skating once in 50 years, and will also create a greater history for Chinese men's speed skating.
During the quarantine period, Gao Tingyu was also praised by many speed skating industry insiders. It is worth mentioning that he also posted on his personal social platform to pay tribute to Luo Zhihuan, China's first speed skating world champion. He wrote: "59 years ago, you let the world see China's speed, and then we will continue to forge ahead and show the world the efforts and strength of Chinese speed skaters." Once again, pay tribute to Luo Lao, China speed skating refueling! Chinese speed skating coach Li Yan once revealed that Gao Tingyu suffered a thigh strain before the final of the Winter Olympics, which scared the whole team up and down enough, but fortunately he finally fell down.
At the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Han Xiaopeng of the Chinese Freestyle Skiing Aerial Skills Team jumped to the world and became the golden sign of the Chinese team in the project. At the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, Zhao Hongbo, a pair skater of the Chinese figure skating team, won the first Olympic title in team history with Shen Xue, and Zhao Hongbo became a new brother in figure skating. At the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, Wu Dajing of the short track speed skating team dominated the men's 500m final, becoming the first male athlete of the Chinese team to win the gold medal in the event, and until the Beijing Winter Olympics, Wu Dajing has been the lining of the Chinese short track speed skating team.
At the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, China's snowboarding and speed skating have produced two more leaders, one of whom is Gao Tingyu. Some netizens said that after the birth of "a brother" in freestyle skiing aerial skills, short-track speed skating, and figure skating, the Chinese speed skating team finally waited for its own "national treasure" player, that is, Gao Tingyu. At the Beijing Winter Olympics, the "Ice Ribbon" witnessed the new history of the Chinese men's speed skating team. Gao Tingyu won the men's 500m final in 34.32 seconds, which was also the first Olympic gold for the Chinese men's speed skating team.
In addition to helping the team win the Olympic gold medal, Gao Tingyu also served as the flag bearer for the opening and closing ceremonies of the Beijing Winter Olympics, which is also an honor that the Chinese speed skating team has never had. Some netizens joked, "From watching the Winter Olympics, this is the speed skating team's most faceful and most brush presence." With the post posted on the social platform to pay tribute to the Chinese speed skating industry Taidouluo Zhihuan, it also means that Gao Tingyu successfully took over the baton and continued to lead the Chinese speed skating team to climb to a new peak. For this genius level player whom the outside world calls a once-in-a-50-year encounter, do you think he will become a new monument to China's speed skating team?
