What kind of twists and turns and helplessness are hidden in this scene?

The venue of the Tokyo Olympics is like a dark nightmare for Xiao Ruoteng.
The referee's controversial ruling ruthlessly stripped him of the men's individual all-around title.
At that moment, his eyes erupted with anger and unwillingness, which was a struggle against injustice and a grief and indignation at the trampling of his dreams.
However, this anger did not go out, but burned more and more in his heart, and became a powerful motivation for him to continue to move forward, and he secretly vowed in his heart that he must be ashamed in Paris and regain his own glory.

Coming to Paris, the wheel of time has ruthlessly pushed Xiao Ruoteng to the advanced stage of a gymnast.
But he was undaunted, and the fire of dreams in his heart burned more and more fiercely.
In order to be able to stand on this arena, he gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain of more than a dozen stitches, challenging the limits of his body again and again.
Those ten sets of near-perfect movements are medals forged by his sweat and perseverance.
In the 6 events in the finals, Xiao Ruoteng took the lead and bravely undertook 5 events, and every jump, spin, and landing embodies his persistent pursuit of the championship.
3. The disillusionment of hope
After the dust settled in the first 5 competitions, the Chinese team was like a giant ship riding the wind and waves, leading the way with a huge advantage of 3.2 points.
The dawn of victory seemed within reach, however, the wheel of fate began to spin wildly in the final horizontal bar race.
Xiao Ruoteng scored 13.433 points with tenacity, thinking that the victory was in his hands.
Unexpectedly, teammate Su Weide fell off the bar twice, like two bombshells, instantly blasting the Chinese team from the clouds to the bottom.
Previously, Su Weide's mistake in supporting the ground during the vault had also quietly laid the root cause.
This series of mistakes, like a relentless storm, blew the Chinese team's championship dream to pieces.
Fourth, the silence of the heartbreak
Xiao Ruoteng stood on the spot after the game, speechless.
At the Tokyo Olympics, he was pushed into the abyss by the black hand of the referee; At the Paris Olympics, he was beaten into the cold by a mistake by his teammates.

However, this true warrior could not vent his anger on his young teammates, and could only swallow the endless pain silently.
