Not long ago, the winners of the 26th China Youth May Fourth Medal were officially announced. Seeing this list, netizens who like sports will definitely see many familiar names, such as Olympic champion and Chinese diver Quan Hongchan; such as Olympic champion and Chinese table tennis player Chen Meng; such as Olympic champion and Chinese shooting athlete Yang Qian; such as Olympic champion and Chinese fencer Sun Yiwen; such as Olympic champion and Chinese swimmer Zhang Yufei; and so on. As soon as this list was released, it immediately triggered a big discussion among netizens, and the topic of it was repeatedly pushed on the hot search.
Many netizens wonder why Quan Hongchan can get the May Fourth Medal, which symbolizes the supreme glory, but Gu Ailing does not. At first glance, this question is a bit nonsensical, why should Quan Hongchan and Gu Ailing be compared together. In fact, if you think about it, it is very reasonable for the two little girls to put together. One is because they are both Olympic champions, one is a summer Olympic champion, and the other is a winter Olympic champion; the other is because both of them are very hot, and they have set off a wave of sports heat, and once they have news, they can quickly rush to the hot search.
So, why? There is only one reason, and this reason cannot be avoided, that is, the award time of the 26th China Youth May Fourth Medal is the entire year of 2021. That is to say, the May Fourth Medal will be awarded in 2022, and the reward is the previous year. Quan Hongchan won the May Fourth Medal because she became famous in the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2021 and circled a large wave of fans. One thing to say, at that time, Quan Hongchan's performance was really too brilliant, it can be described as unparalleled in the world, unprecedented! Of course, her performance at the subsequent National Games also gave her extra points.
On the other hand, Gu Ailing, everyone really knew her at the Beijing Winter Olympics that ended not long ago. On the stage of the Beijing Winter Olympics, Gu Ailing's performance was even more eye-catching, with two gold and one silver in the competitions of the three sports she participated in, and each medal created history. If according to the selection criteria, Gu Ailing is fully capable of winning the May Fourth Medal. It's just that what Gu Ailing did happened in 2022! In other words, gu Ailing's name will be found in the results of the May Fourth Medal selection next year.
In addition to Gu Ailing, Olympic champions such as Su Yiming, Ren Ziwei, and Gao Tingyu were not shortlisted, which also shows the time of selection. Not this year, not next year!
