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

The workload is indeed huge, because the ISU has made many and very detailed changes to the rules, and it is very complicated, and some places are convoluted, and it is not easy to explain it clearly.

During the meeting at the ISU headquarters, the coaches or officials sent by many countries were at a loss.By the end of the meeting, everyone hadn't fully figured out where the specific changes were. They felt that they were not bad from before, so they took the materials and went back to study again.

Only Xu Qing, with a translator, went to the technical consultant of the International Skating Federation. Every rule, every sentence, was broken and crumbled before he returned home.

There was a three-hour meeting that afternoon, but Xu Qing failed to make everyone fully understand the new rules of the ISU.

Only Gu Ran, a top student with outstanding comprehension ability, could basically understand Gu Ran once he said it.Even if he didn't understand, the questions he asked hit the nail on the head. On the contrary, Xu Qing felt that it wasn't that he didn't understand, but that he didn't explain clearly.

In the evening, Gu Ran came to Xu Qing's room with a notebook.He knocked on the door and went in, only to find that Xu Qing was not alone in the room, Cheng Sen was also there.

Two people are sitting at a desk, discussing the new rules.

The two of them followed the prestige and saw Gu Ran standing at the door.Xu Qing beckoned to him: "Come in."

Gu Ran stood in place holding the notebook, turning the pen around on her fingertips, and looked at the two of them leisurely: "Did I disturb the world of the two of you?"

Cheng Sen glanced at him, his gaze was like a knife: "Then why don't you hurry up."

Gu Ran was a bit rebellious for a young man of this age, even if he was told to leave, he would not.He walked over cheekily, pulled a stool and sat between the two coaches: "Isn't this a family of three?"

Xu Qing slapped him on the back of the head: "Speak nonsense again..."

Gu Ran interrupted him: "Just fine me a hundred technical skating laps, right?"

Cheng Sen sneered: "You should punish him for halving the training time tomorrow."

Xu Qing also laughed and said, "It makes sense."

"Ah, ah, ah!" Gu Ran seemed to be afraid that the coach would cut down his training time, so she tapped on her notebook with a pen, "Hurry up, get down to business!"

He took out a stack of A4 papers from under his notebook: "This is the new rule I downloaded from the ISU website, and I have already read it roughly."

Xu Qing looked down and saw that there were several densely packed pages. The pure English version was marked with different highlighters, individual words were marked with gel pens, and notes were added next to some paragraphs.

Xu Qing and Cheng Sen leaned over to take a look, and both said, "I don't understand."

Gu Ran said: "The yellow highlighter marks the new content, and the orange highlighter marks the modified content. I roughly wrote down the modified content next to it, and it may not be accurate."

Xu Qing pointed to the place where he slid out with the gel pen: "Then what do these mean?"

Gu Ran smiled embarrassedly: "These are new words, and there are usages I'm not familiar with."

He waved his hand again: "Oh, it's not important, let's start."

It took two hours this night. Gu Ran combined the original text of the rules and Xu Qing's explanation to make all the rules clear. Cheng Sen who was on the side couldn't keep up with the progress of the two of them, and he couldn't get in when he was sitting next to him. mouth, accumulated a lot of questions, wrote them down in the notebook, and asked questions after the preparation was over.

Gu Ran lowered his eyes and glanced at the phone. It was already past nine o'clock. He quickly read the content of the discussion just now from beginning to end: "That's about it. Is there anything missing?"

Xu Qing also flipped through his notebook: "It should be gone."

Gu Ran nodded: "Okay, then I have figured everything out."

Cheng Sen was surprised: "Is this clear?"

Gu Ran said: "Some places have been added or subtracted, and some places have only been modified. In fact, the rules are similar, but some controversial places have been clearly stipulated and explained in detail."

Cheng Sen took his notebook and flipped through it, he was dumbfounded.The notes were divided into several pages, not only the handwriting was neat, but even the format looked very refreshing, and the obsessive-compulsive disorder would like to praise the level of comfort after reading it.The content is concise and concise, and the summary is very in place, which is clear at a glance.

Cheng Sen was amazed as he watched it: "You deserve to be the number one in the college entrance examination."

Gu Ran corrected him: "Not the champion!"

"I said yes, listen to me!"

"no!"

"..."

Xu Qing regulated the things on the table: "Well, you will be responsible for the next training of the new rules. By the way, I will make a PPT. After a while, the Winter Management Center will organize coaches from various local teams to come and learn. You come to speak."

Gu Ran immediately jumped up: "No, the workload is too much, and I have to do hundreds of pages of PPT."

Xu Qing patted him on the shoulder: "You can do it, I believe in you."

Gu Ran pouted, feeling very wronged: "When I was in the provincial team, I was treated like a coolie like this."

Cheng Sen patted him on the other shoulder again: "Those who can do more work."

Xu Qing added: "I'll send you the template later, hurry up, you'll start school next week."

Speaking of the start of school, Gu Ran suddenly remembered something.He had already walked to the door, and fell back again: "I have a request."

Cheng Sen raised his eyebrows: "You still dare to ask, it's against you."

Gu Ran looked aggrieved: "It takes time and effort for me to serve you for free, what's wrong with making a small request?"

Xu Qing thought it made sense: "Tell me about it."

"The Ice and Snow Park is too far away from the school, and it is inconvenient to go to class. Director Cheng will find a way."

Cheng Sen thought for a moment and said, "Bring back the schedule after school starts, and I'll discuss it with the leader."

Gu Ran knew that Cheng Sen still protected him in this regard, and would try his best to fight for him in front of the leader.

Therefore, when Gu Ran went back to work, he also worked very efficiently.After training, he held a notebook in the room to do PPT. He also found a lot of game video clips and pasted them behind the corresponding rules as examples.

Therefore, when he explained the rules to his teammates again, he was very clear, plus his video examples, which were not considered fouls in the previous rules, but now they are counted.Illegal physical contact between two people will determine who fouled, and when they fall off the track can be sentenced to entry, all clearly stated.

Even a simple-minded idiot like Chi Lang can understand and learn at once.

On the 18th, Gu Ran officially started school.

I got up early in the morning, put on a T-shirt and sweatpants, put on a baseball cap, put on my schoolbag and went out.First sweep a shared bicycle at the gate of the training base to the subway station, and then take the subway to the school.

He had contacted Wei Yuening in advance, and the other party had arrived the night before, and the two made an appointment to meet at the school gate.

Wei Yuening said, "I didn't expect that."

Gu Ran asked: "Didn't expect anything?"

Wei Yuening sighed: "I originally thought that you would come to the same class as me after the entrance examination."

Gu Ran shook her head proudly: "I didn't expect that I passed the exam, did I?"

"I didn't expect not only the same class, but also the same dormitory."

Gu Ran followed him to the dormitory to take a look. There were two other students in the same dormitory who had already arrived and were discussing their freshman courses.

Gu Ran was still a little uncomfortable when he entered the room, afraid that people would recognize him.

Later, I found out that he was thinking too much, and he is not a traffic star who is searching for houses every day. Even if there are more than 200 million fans on Weibo, and there are more than one billion people in China, few people can recognize him at a glance when walking on the street. he.

These two people, one named Yan An and the other Wang Bowen, both came from the south.After chatting for a while, I realized that, including Wei Yuening, all three of them were admitted through self-enrollment.

Only then did Gu Ran suddenly realize why Wei Yuening received the admission notice earlier than him.

When he came out of the dormitory, Gu Ran squinted his eyes and looked at the other party up and down: "You can."

Wei Yuening asked knowingly, "What's wrong?"

"What kind of college entrance examination do you take for self-enrollment?"

Wei Yuening shrugged: "This is not to encourage you."

Gu Ran thought for a while and then asked: "Is it because I am afraid that I will not pass the exam, so you review with me?"

Wei Yuening put his palm on his back and pushed him: "I'm afraid you really give up your studies for short track speed skating."

Everyone came to the school to report with several suitcases, but he came empty-handed with a schoolbag on his back.After completing the admission procedures, he briefly got to know the classmates in the class, and before the military training began, he returned to the training base.

The leaders of the Winter Management Center had already contacted the school. Gu Ran didn't need to participate in military training. She would go back to continue the training in the next 20 days, and then return to school after formal classes.

When Gu Ran returned to the Ice and Snow Park, he was in time for dinner. After finishing the meal, he found a table nearby and sat down to eat.

After a while, Gao Ziyi, Chi Lang, Meng Yuqiao and Lin Jiaxi also sat down.

As soon as Chi Lang saw him, he was excited: "Yo, our Xueba is back. Come on, tell us, tell us how it feels."

Gu Ran said lightly, "I don't feel anything?"

Lin Jiaxi said: "You are the world champion, don't the students admire you very much?"

Gu Ran chuckled: "The most important thing in our class is the world champion, such as gold medals in physics competitions, mathematics competitions, informatics competitions, national training teams... everyone except me has them."

He laughed at himself again: "There are [-] people in the class, [-] are recommended, and [-] are self-enrolled. Only three are admitted through the unified entrance examination, and the other two are the top students in the college entrance examination. Unsurprising me."

Lin Jiaxi looked at him in surprise: "Are you... just plain?"

"Calculate."

"What a fart!" Chi Lang, who was eating and playing with his mobile phone, raised his head, "Congratulations, you're on the hot search again."

At this time, Gao Ziyi handed Gu Ran a cup of yogurt, and carefully inserted the straw for him.

Gu Ran took it and drank it without panting, "Are they picking up my grades again?"

Chi Lang looked at him hesitantly, "Look for yourself."

Gu Ran opened Weibo and saw that the hot search terms were directly his name plus the name of the school.

Click on the most popular Weibo, there are several photos of him, with back view and profile view, one of which happened to be that he walked into the teaching building of the Information Research Institute with three other people in the dormitory.It is not difficult to see that the person who took the photo followed him all the way.It could also be that they were on their way.

The blogger also introduced the whole process in detail. She herself is a freshman in the School of Journalism and Communication. Because she likes Gu Ran, she usually pays attention to short track speed skating competitions.

When she first saw Gu Ran's back, she didn't recognize him. She just thought that even if she didn't see the face, she thought this boy was handsome just by looking at the back.

Then, when Gu Ran turned around to talk to her classmates, she recognized it.

Speaking of this, the blogger became obviously excited: "Can you imagine my mood at that time? I can't wait to add WeChat! Actually, I am not surprised to see Gu Ran here. I have already said that he is a top student .”

"I originally thought he should be studying at the School of Economics and Management. After all, everyone knows that many Olympic champions are in this school. Although he is not an Olympic champion yet, if there is no accident, he will be in a year and a half."

"However, I never expected that he would walk into the Institute of Information Science. The name is so awesome, I don't need to say more, if you don't know it, you can search it yourself. There are three undergraduate classes, all of which are very powerful !"

"But I still didn't give up. I went to find out which class he belonged to. Then I was shocked, he turned out to be..."

So, this blogger listed how good the students in this class are.It also includes the training plan of this class. During the undergraduate period, 100% of them will go abroad for exchange and exchange studies, covered by full scholarships. Compared with famous schools such as MIT, Stanford, and Princeton, the level of graduates they cultivate is equally competitive.

Not long after this Weibo post was posted, the entire Internet exploded again.The ice fans naturally praised Gu Ran crazily: "Other world champions are studying economic management and physical education. Gu Ran is studying computer."

"After the world champions retired, they didn't go to college until they were in their 20s. Gu Ran went to college at the age of 17, a year earlier than the average cultural student."

"Unexpectedly, besides short track speed skating, Gu Xiaoran also likes computers."

"My god, a real genius is really not limited to a certain field, but can be the top in all fields."

"This trending search must not be seen by my mother!!!"

"Those who said that he failed the college entrance examination before, and those who said that he was speculating on Xueba, come out for a walk."

"..."

Even so, there will still be discordant voices on the Internet: "You also said that the admission requirements for this class are particularly harsh, and only three people were recruited in the unified recruitment. Then I have a few questions: First, how did Gu Ran pass the exam? Entering this class, recommended? Independent recruitment? Or unified recruitment?"

"If it is recommended, I haven't found any information on the Internet that he has participated in any mathematics and physics competitions and won awards. If it is self-enrolled, what are the school's admission requirements? If it is the college entrance examination, what is his score in the college entrance examination? There are extra points, is it because of the extra points that you squeeze out the places for other candidates?"

As soon as this question was raised, in addition to the voices of praise and praise on the Internet, there were also many different voices, which aroused more discussion and thinking.

"The students in this class have gathered the best teaching resources of the college and even the school. I believe that there must be many candidates who are interested in the computer field who want to apply for the exam. There are so many people in the country who take the college entrance examination, and their scores are much higher than that of a sports student. There will be only two."

"Gu Ran is an active athlete, and the Beijing Winter Olympics is less than a year and a half away. How much time can he have to stay in school and go to class with peace of mind? By adding points to occupy other candidates' places, occupying school resources, to If you can’t graduate in the end, isn’t that a joke?”

There are even one or two candidates on the Internet, posting their college entrance examination results, and claiming that their first choice is the class they applied for.

As a result, some marketing accounts who deliberately rubbed the heat and thought the matter was not big enough also stood up and forwarded some false information to guide public opinion.

Leaving aside the facts, this rational analysis made Gu Ran, the person involved, very angry, and felt that he was a piece of trash using privileges.

Gu Ran also shared this Weibo with Wei Yuening, but the other party only replied to him: "I don't have a Weibo."

Gu Ran: "..."

Gu Ran asked again tentatively: "Among the classmates, no one talks about me?"

"No."

"Oh……"

Gu Ran is right when he thinks about it, the world of a top student is only mathematics, physics and code, besides, during the military training, everyone is quite tired, who would waste time on these gossips.

He texted Wei Yuening "good night", and as soon as the phone was put away, he was ready to take a shower and go to sleep.

After he came out of the shower, Wei Yuening sent him several messages: "I saw those comments on the Internet."

Gu Ran asked: "How do you feel?"

Wei Yuening didn't answer but instead asked, "What about you, what do you think?"

Gu Ran said: "It makes sense, but it has nothing to do with me."

"Then you want to respond by sending out your college entrance examination results?"

"Do not."

Wei Yuening asked, "Why not?"

Gu Ran asked back: "Why?"

"..."

He did not respond, but in the face of doubts, the school had to respond.A few days later, when the popularity of this matter was still high, the school's official Weibo posted an article.

First of all, the school announced Gu Ran's college entrance examination score. Without any extra points, he was still ahead of other candidates who were not admitted.The admissions office carried out the admission work in strict accordance with the rules and regulations: "Gu Ran has achieved such excellent results while winning various world championships. A gentleman strives for self-improvement. We believe that in the days to come, he is chasing his Winter Olympics dream At the same time, you must also take care of your studies.”

Half an hour after this Weibo post was posted, the number of likes has exceeded hundreds of thousands, especially after seeing the results of the college entrance examination, not to mention ice fans who like Gu Ran, even passers-by have to sigh with emotion, the Creator is not To be fair, some people are destined from birth to be far above others.

At this time, many official media also posted blogs to praise Gu Ran: "A top short track speed skater in the world can achieve such excellent results on the stage of the college entrance examination. This is a role model for contemporary teenagers to learn from and pursue." Idol."

"I hope that he will not be influenced by rumors, and he will strengthen his beliefs, train hard, and win glory for the country. I also hope that he will study hard, persist in innovation, and continue to serve the motherland in other fields in the future."

Finally, the National Winter Management Center also responded to this matter: "Thanks to all walks of life for their concern for Gu Ran. He is currently undergoing closed training to prepare for the new season. At the same time, the National Short Track Speed ​​Skating Team will actively coordinate and let him train while learning at the same time.”

At this time, those who raised doubts no longer happened, and marketing accounts that deliberately created heat and fished in troubled waters also deleted Weibo one after another.

The matter finally settled here. In just a few days, Gu Ran's Weibo fans increased by more than 100 million.However, the date of his latest Weibo is still half a year ago.

From the beginning to the end, he did not stand up and make any response.

Gu Ran is at the training base every day, except for training and eating, she is reading and studying.During the period, he also took the time to give several training sessions to the head coaches of the local teams and the officials of the skating association, explaining the new rules clearly, and even shared his PPT for everyone to take back and study carefully.

During dinner, Chi Lang looked at him in disbelief: "There is a lot of trouble on the Internet, and you can still be so calm."

Gu Ran picked up a piece of braised beef and put it in her mouth: "Otherwise?"

Chi Lang looked at him like a monster: "This mentality is too good."

Meng Yuqiao snorted and said, "What else? So many champions for nothing."

Gu Ran raised the milk and touched Meng Yuqiao's soup bowl: "Sister Qiao still understands me."

Chi Lang said, "Today is Friday."

Gu Ran met his eyes, and Chi Lang rubbed his hands excitedly: "I'll go find you 5 minutes earlier."

Gu Ran said, "No."

"..."
