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

Although Gu Ran said he didn't want to play, when it was almost eight o'clock, Chi Lang went to his room with his mobile phone.

Gu Ran was sitting in front of the desk, using a laptop to watch the Olympic live broadcast.

Chi Lang took a closer look: "Since when did you become interested in fencing?"

Gu Ran pointed to one of the Chinese team members: "This is my high school classmate, not the same class."

"Fuck!" Chi Lang expressed his surprise, "Your school is really a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger."

Although Chi Lang couldn't understand fencing, Gu Ran said that it was his high school classmate, so Chi Lang followed suit.

When the game was over and Qi Siyuan took off his helmet, he also commented: "You are quite handsome."

Gu Ran smiled and said nothing, but heard him muttering next to him: "It's worse than me."

Gu Ran rolled her eyes: "As long as you have a little self-knowledge, you can't say such things."

Qi Siyuan got No.3 in the end, and his grades were pretty good. Gu Ran picked up his phone and sent him a congratulatory message.

Unexpectedly, the news over there came back quickly: "It's a pity that I didn't win the championship."

Gu Ran said: "No.3 is also great, train hard and come back in four years!"

Qi Siyuan sent a relieved expression: "It's up to you next."

Gu Ran also sent him an emoji: "Look!"

Chi Lang glanced at the time, after nine o'clock, Gu Ran, a minor, couldn't play the game anymore.

So, I can only go back and come back tomorrow night.

Gu Ran's class schedule came out soon. The first three days of each week were full of classes, and important classes were arranged on these three days. The remaining two days of classes were relatively easy, mainly public classes and basic classes.

Cheng Sen informed Gu Ran: "After the official class starts, he will study at school from Monday to Wednesday, return to the ice and snow park for training in the morning from Thursday to Sunday, and rest for half a day on Sunday afternoon. But after the start of the new season, you have to suspend classes for intensive training. Is there a problem? ?”

Gu Ran answered very simply: "No!"

This arrangement is already very good for him. He has nothing to dissatisfy with since he can maintain training while taking care of his studies.

After returning to school, although he didn't say it himself, the school announced that he was a short-track speed skater and a freshman in the computer science experiment class.

However, his classmates did not discuss this matter, nor did they ask him anything.In addition to attending classes, everyone usually discusses professional issues together, and the learning atmosphere is particularly strong.

After taking classes together for a period of time, the students in the class are familiar with and understand each other.Gu Ran discovered that the students were not only focused on studying, but also had their own hobbies.

For example, there are four people in their dormitory. Yan An likes to sing, and in his spare time, he plays with his guitar. Gu Ran can also sing a duet with him from time to time.

Wang Bowen likes the gold medal winner of IOI (International Informatics Competition), and is addicted to typing codes.Gu Ran sat by the side to study, and occasionally asked a question, and the other party was very happy to explain it to him.

Wei Yuening took great pleasure in taking Gu Ran to discuss the homework left by the teacher every day, and shared some professional-related journal articles with him from time to time.

The students also gradually discovered that Gu Ran's ability to enter this class was definitely not due to the extra points of some sports students, but because of her own strength.

He is also very active in his thinking in class, actively answers questions, and dares to ask questions to the teacher.

The teachers of various subjects also have a very good impression of him. After all, the teachers have come into contact with too many world champions in various competitions, and the world champion of short track speed skating is still the first.

The point is, this short track speed skating world champion completely subverted their imagination of sports students.

Who wouldn't like such a student.

After class, Gu Ran does physical training and land training for four to 10 minutes every day.The training plan was arranged for him by Xu Qing and his physical coach. He went to the playground every day and just completed it according to the plan.

As long as he appeared on the playground, female classmates would surround him in twos and threes, and even some bold ones would bring him water or something.

During the few days when Gu Ran returned to the Ice and Snow Park for training, Wei Yuening would send him messages every day, still reviewing homework with him, discussing homework after class, and sharing his notes with him as before, not only professional courses and basic courses, He didn't even miss the meditation class.

Gu Ran gave him a wry smile: "I am really well-rounded in morality, intelligence, physique, art and labor. My mother must be very happy to know."

Wei Yuening reflected for a while, and withdrew the Sixiu notes: "You have worked hard in training, so go to rest early."

Gu Ran didn't participate in the Shanghai Super Cup, the game itself meant little to him.Not only did he not go, Chi Lang, Meng Yuqiao and Gao Ziyi also did not go.After discussing with Xu Qing, Cheng Sen gave the opportunity to the young players who had just been promoted from the training team.

In this way, Gu Ran spent a month and a half studying and training at the same time. Every day was as busy as a war, but she felt very fulfilled and didn't feel tired at all.

In late October, when he was preparing for the World Cup, he began to officially suspend classes.

However, Wei Yuening, a top student, gave him one-on-one help, and his tutor was the most authoritative professor in the academy, so he could ask any questions directly. Although Gu Ran didn't go to class, he should The content of learning has not fallen at all.

The six tournaments of this year's World Cup are similar to usual, with the first two stations in North America, the middle two stations in Asia, and the last two stations in Europe.

Although Gu Ran felt that her condition was very good, enough to cope with frequent matches.

But after discussing with Xu Qing, Cheng Sen and Xu Qing didn't want him to be too tired and increase the risk of injury.Therefore, he was allowed to participate in the finals of the two relay races in each race, but he was only allowed to sign up for two of the three individual competitions.The first and third stations are 500 meters and 1000 meters, and the second station is 500 meters and 1500 meters.

It is not difficult to see at the first stop in Canada that the situation has changed significantly this season compared with last season.

Athletes and countries that used to be strong are now in decline.On the contrary, the United States, Russia and some European and American countries are gradually rising.

The only countries that still maintain their traditional advantages are China and South Korea.

However, since last season, the South Korean team has experienced a very strange phenomenon, especially their men's team.

Compared with previous seasons, the number of them entering the semi-finals or even the finals has not changed much, but the number of gold medals has been greatly reduced.

Looking back at the results of the Chinese team in the last two seasons, ice fans suddenly realized that it wasn't that the Korean team had become weaker, but that the current Chinese team was too strong.

Especially Gu Ran, if he didn't sign up for only two events in each competition, would there be any hope for others to compete for the championship?

Gu Ran can't control others, he only cares about himself.As he grows older, his physical fitness is also improving, and he is infinitely approaching the peak stage of an athlete.

In the past, physical fitness was his shortcoming, but through strengthening in the last one or two offseasons, he is gradually making up for this shortcoming.The current 1500-meter slide down, no longer has the feeling of being out of breath before.

Now in the arena, even Yin Canyu, Huang Zaixian, and Curtis, who were world No. [-], world No. [-], and Olympic champions, have gradually distanced themselves from him in terms of strength.

Yin Canyu, who is so strong, needs to do his best if he wants to put a little pressure on him in the game.

Not to mention the 500 meters, Gu Ran has absolute dominance in this event.Huang Zaixian let alone surpass him, even if he wanted to make a small foul behind his back, he couldn't touch him.

It was already the end of December after the first four competitions, and Gu Ran went back to school non-stop to study and prepare for the final exam.

At this time, Cheng Sen suddenly arranged a task for him: "This year's Spring Festival, the Winter Management Center is going to hold a party. Every training team will have a show. Last time in Dali, your guitar playing and singing were very good. Okay, how about another one this time?"

"No!" Gu Ran rejected him flatly.

Cheng Sen blew his beard and stared: "Is it possible to rebel again?"

Gu Ran said, "No time."

He is really not free, the training camp and competition made him suspend classes for two months, and now he is back at school, just two days after class, and the class is about to end again.There are still two weeks until the final exam, so he has to hurry up and review.

Cheng Sen also expressed his understanding and asked, "When is your final exam?"

Gu Ran said, "No. 15-17."

Cheng Sen said, "Then prepare after the exam."

Gu Ran: "..."

Although the class time is relatively short, Gu Ran's final test scores are not bad. Although they are not as good as those top students at work, they are not slowed down, and they can even be ranked in the middle level.

When he returned to the Ice and Snow Park after the exam, he was caught by Cheng Sen again.Without saying a word, Cheng Sen dragged him to the next door: "Let's go, let's go and have a look."

Gu Ran was at a loss: "What are you looking at?"

"Look at other people's programming."

They came to the training room of the figure skating team, where the dance was being rehearsed. They stood at the door and watched for ten seconds. Cheng Sen turned and left: "Go to the avenue and have a look."

Gu Ran followed behind him and asked, "What... what's wrong?"

Cheng Sen said: "He is a professional, we can't compare."

"Forehead……"

On the avenue there was a rehearsal of a language program related to the main body of the Winter Olympics. Everyone was almost from the same area. Just talking was full of laughs.

Gu Ran looked at Cheng Sen: "Why don't we learn from each other?"

Cheng Sen glared at him: "You are a high school student with 712 in the college entrance examination, and you still need to learn from others to make a show?"

Gu Ran felt a little wronged: "This is really beyond the scope of my skills."

Cheng Sen thought for a while: "There is one left, go and have a look."

So, they came to the curling team again, and before they reached the door, they heard singing, dancing and rap inside. After listening carefully, they still wrote the words themselves, accompanied by a super rhythmic accompaniment, which made people listen The blood is boiling, and the sense of atmosphere is directly full.

Cheng Sen completely gave up this time, sighed and shook his head: "Forget it, let's go back."

Gu Ran followed him back to Short Road's own training room. The teammates had just received Yu Jie's new mission, and they took a bunch of decorations and asked them to decorate the training room with a Chinese New Year atmosphere.

The girls were of course keen on this, they picked out a lot of beautiful decorations, hung them on the surrounding walls, and took the rest back to the dormitory to hang them up.

The boys were doing chores on the sidelines, and they would do whatever the girls told them to do. The atmosphere was festive and lively.

Xu Qing couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "Compared to before, the flavor of the New Year is much stronger. It seems that there are many people and it is lively."

Yu Jie said: "That's right, next year will be the Winter Olympics. The leaders pay special attention to this year's Chinese New Year, which can be regarded as an encouragement to the athletes."

"Many of the other training teams are out of town. In order to prepare for the Olympics, they can't go home during the New Year. The leaders have to connect with the training teams on the spot to hold a grand Spring Festival Gala."

Speaking of this, she remembered again, and quickly greeted Cheng Sen: "Have you thought about it, what kind of program will our team put on?"

Cheng Sen leaned against the climbing frame next to him, with a frustrated expression on his face: "I don't know."

Yu Jie didn't even look at him, she was still instructing Chi Lang to hang up the lantern: "It's higher, it's higher."

"Didn't you go to another team to watch it, and didn't learn from it?"

Cheng Sen was even more frustrated: "I can't get it."

Gu Ran was dying of laughter, and put her arms around Yu Jie's shoulders: "It's either Wang Bo or four twos, and Director Cheng has a bunch of bad cards in his hand, and we are going to throw the table and stop playing."

Yu Jie also laughed: "Director Cheng has high hopes for you, and you have to be responsible for this matter."

Gu Ran: "..."
