[Short track speed skating] From academic master to Winter Olympic champion

"what?"

"How could he?"

The No. 72 player looked at his side in shock.He focused all his attention on his left side, trying to slide along the sign block as much as possible, without giving Gu Ran any chance to overtake.

But he never expected that Gu Ran did not appear on his left, but on his right!

There was an uproar in the stands, and many spectators showed expressions of disbelief:

"My God, he actually..."

"Is he going to give up the inside way and go beyond the outside way instead?"

"he is the one!"

"..."

When entering the sixth circle, Gu Ran's body turned slightly to the right, and as expected, he cut to the outer way.

The speed skating hall of Qingdao Ice Sports Center was full today, and some nearby schools organized students to come to watch the competition.

Most of these children do not understand the rules and highlights of short track speed skating, just to watch the excitement.

But one of the children was learning short track speed skating, and the students were asking, so he explained to the students in a serious manner: "Generally, few people will choose to surpass from outsiders, unless they have confidence in their own strength. "

"My coach said that the outer lane has a larger radius, a longer distance, and requires absolute speed!"

When he was speaking, Gu Ran on the field had already accelerated and circled to the outer circle. Immediately afterwards, he chased from behind at a speed visible to the naked eye and slid side by side with the No. 72 player.

When going out of the curve, Gu Ran was faster. The moment he entered the straight, he inserted in front of No. 72 without any hesitation, and completed the overtaking cleanly.

Seeing this scene, there was a burst of applause from around the stands. The audience's passionate shouts were enough to prove that Gu Ran had completed a wonderful transcendence!

The kid who acted as a temporary commentator for his classmates raised his hands and shouted: "I declare that from today on, he is my idol!"

At the highest point of the stands, Cheng Sen leaned forward, leaning his arms on the railing, watching the game with great interest: "Interesting, this is already the sixth lap, and he can still slide out at such a speed, from big to big. Passing on the outer lap. I'm looking forward to seeing what he does in the next few laps."

Song Zhixin smiled and said: "If I remember correctly, he skated 500 meters last time, and his physical fitness is not very good. Now it seems that he has improved a lot."

Cheng Sen snorted softly: "There is progress, but it's not enough."

Gu Ran exhausted all of her physical energy to surpass the second position. When she looked up, she was still half a circle away from Chi Lang.

There are three laps left in the race, and Chi Lang's speed has not changed much from when he first started.

Chi Dali's physical reserves are really unfathomable.

Entering the seventh lap, Gu Ran's strength seemed to be drained, his legs were not listening to him, and he felt sore and limp. It seemed that he might kneel on the ice at any time.

It feels downright hopeless.

In the stands, the audience followed the rhythm of his skating and kept shouting for cheers.They hope that he can catch up and have another wonderful match with Chi Lang in front.

"Go up, go up!"

"There are still three laps, you have a chance!"

"Go on!!!"

This is also mixed with the voice of shouting for Chi Lang:

"hold onto!"

"Skate at your own pace!"

"You are the champion, we believe in you!"

"Gu Ran rush to me!"

"Chi Lang, hold on to me!"

"..."

The two of them were not doing well, and the supporters pinched them first.

In any case, such cries are really inspiring.Gu Ran's heart was beating very fast, and the heart spurted blood forcefully, and then flowed to the limbs.

Gu Ran is now at the top, and his rationality has been thrown to the back of his mind. He doesn't care whether he can win the championship or whether he should save some energy for the next 500 meters. He just wants to respect the most instinctive impulse and blood in his heart, and rush forward without hesitation!

He resisted the soreness of his legs, and accelerated the frequency of kicking the ice again.Chi Lang's back is in front, he must catch up!

Xu Qing's gaze followed him all the way, watching his posture of kicking the ice, watching his handling of details, and also watching the tiny expressions on his face.

Gu Ran was still wearing a pair of face goggles, Xu Qing couldn't see his eyes, but saw his stubborn look of biting his lower lip and refusing to bow his head.

As the race entered the eighth lap, the distance between the two began to shrink little by little, and the shouting in the stands became more intense.

Gu Ran only felt "buzzing" in her head, and she couldn't hear what they were shouting clearly.

Severe hypoxia gradually blurred his consciousness, and he just stared at Chi Lang's back, which was his goal.

On the ninth lap, Gu Ran finally caught up. He was already behind Chi Lang, and he could find a chance to overtake him when he entered the bend.

But at this time, Chi Lang also suddenly accelerated the frequency of pedaling, and the speed suddenly increased.Gu Ran was not given a chance to surpass at all, and the distance between the two of them was widened a lot.

Seeing this scene, Gu Ran almost gritted her silver teeth, and cursed in her heart: "Damn it!"

At this time, how could he admit defeat and chase after Chi Lang tightly.

He clearly saw that in order to speed up, Chi Lang in front of him had already slowed down the pace of stepping on the ice.

But no matter how hard he tried, he was always a little bit, just a little bit.

At the last moment, he could only watch Chi Lang cross the finish line one step ahead of him.

Amidst the cheers from all directions, Gu Ran was panting with difficulty, and clenched her hands unconsciously.

Suddenly, a pair of heavy arms rested on his shoulders: "You can do it, no one has ever forced me to do this in a 1000-meter race."

Gu Ran took off her gloves, reached out to him, and said with a smile, "Congratulations."

"Uh..." Chi Lang was stunned for a moment, took off his gloves and held his hand, feeling as if his hand had just been fished out of the water, "Thank you."

Gu Ran didn't say anything more, turned around and rowed to the sidelines.

He is too tired now to say anything.

Director Wang patted him on the shoulder: "Although you failed to win the championship, your performance is already very good. If there is another lap, you will definitely surpass Chi Lang."

Gu Ran shook her head: "If you lose, you lose. Give me another round, and I can't beat him. With my current physical fitness, I can only be thrown farther by him."

Xu Qing smiled and said: "What does this mean, little guy, you still have to practice."【1】

Gu Ran followed him with a smile: "After I go back, I will continue to run 5000 meters."

"Go and rest, there will be a game later."

Gu Ran was really exhausted, and when he slumped on the chair in the inspection room, he felt sore and weak all over.

"Eat something?" Chi Lang sat next to him and handed him an energy bar.

Gu Ran took the energy bar with a smile: "You are not afraid that my physical strength will recover, you won't be able to beat me in a while."

"Cut!" Chi Lang sneered, "If I want to win you, I will win you openly, and I will never take advantage of others' danger."

"Alas..." Gu Ran raised her head, looked at a spotlight on the ceiling and sighed, "I feel like my whole body has been drained."

"What's the hurry, there is still half an hour before the 500-meter final, and it's not enough for you to rest."

Gu Ran ate the energy bar he gave, and drank some water. After a while, she really felt that her physical strength had returned little by little.

The women's team's 500-meter race is over, and it's their turn to play.

Chi Lang stood up and stretched out his hand to Gu Ran who was next to him, wanting to give him a hand.

Gu Ran patted the back of his hand gently, then stood up by herself.

The two looked at each other, smiled provocatively, and walked out of the inspection room together.

In the 500 meters, Gu Ran won the first place in the semi-finals and was divided together.

Chi Lang is next to him, and San Sidao is a team member from the other two provinces.

In short-distance races, starting technique is very important.Gu Ran's reaction was quick, and she was the first one visible to the naked eye to rush out. Then, she firmly stood in the first position at the first corner and began to lead the slide.

Chi Lang, who was lagging behind as soon as he came up, was naturally unwilling and chased after him.At every corner, try to overtake him.

Gu Ran is thin and thin, and Chi Lang always feels that he can be knocked away easily.But his speed on the ice is very fast, his body maintains a steady and streamlined shape, as light as a snowflake, and he slides a long distance in the blink of an eye.

Chi Lang continued to speed up to catch up with him, and made various attempts behind him, but all failed.

There are only four and a half laps in the 500-meter race, adding up to nine corners, and he has wasted seven of them.

The referee's bell has rung and there is only one final lap and two corners left in the race.

Chi Lang speeded up again, trying to pass Gu Ran again.

He spotted the gap beside Gu Ran, and was about to step forward, ready to push people away.The other party seemed to know his intentions in advance, and immediately adjusted his position, blocking his route, without giving him the slightest chance.

"..."

Chi Lang still didn't believe in this evil, and at the last corner, he chose the time to surpass Gu Ran when he exited the corner.

This time, it went smoothly, and Gu Ran even stepped aside.

Chi Lang was overjoyed, and was about to speed up again to enter the final sprint stage. When he looked up, Gu Ran had already crossed the line.

There was warm applause and cheers from the stands, the champion has been born!

"!!!"

Gu Ran stopped not far from the finish line, took off his helmet and goggles, and was waving to the kid who kept shouting his name in the stands.

Chi Lang slid behind him: "Congratulations."

"Thank you."

Half an hour ago, the two of them had just said the same thing to each other, and this time it was reversed.

Chi Lang took off his helmet, his hair was cut very short, and his face looked like a fortitude that is rare for teenagers: "I have a problem."

Gu Ran smiled with two dimples on her face: "Ask."

Chi Lang said: "I feel that every time I want to do something, you can know in advance, why is that?"

Gu Ran raised her hand and wanted to pat him on the shoulder, but the height difference between the two made it difficult to sit up, so Gu Ran patted his arm: "To tell you the truth, from the preliminaries to the semi-finals, your I watched the game video no less than a hundred times."

Chi Lang was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence: "You are really terrifying."

Gu Ranyou said: "It's not that I couldn't skate you in the 1000 meters just now, but your teammates helped you a lot. I wasted too much time on him."

Chi Lang snorted: "My gold medal is half of his credit."

Gu Ran also smiled and said, "My gold medal is also half of your... energy bar."

At this moment, there was another exclamation from the stands, and someone called Gu Ran's name loudly.

The two looked back, only to realize that the results of the competition just now were being displayed on the big screen.

Undoubtedly, Gu Ran was ranked first, and a small sign appeared behind his name.

This symbol does not appear often, but it has appeared once or twice, which means breaking the game record.

During the competition, Gu Ran didn't feel anything at all, but now he realized that he had slipped out of his best result: "I broke the record, I actually broke the record???"

"That's right, it's 0.183 faster." Chi Lang suddenly smiled, "I should also be credited for your other half of the gold medal."

Gu Ran asked: "Why?"

"If I hadn't been chasing after you, would you have broken the record?"

Gu Ran thought for a while: "That's right, let's compete in the final relay race!"

"The relay race?" A sneer appeared on Chi Lang's mouth, "Your opponent is not me, but the province of R. Let's talk after you win them."
