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

After careful observation, Gu Ran found that although the two cooperated, they did not have a tacit understanding.

In fact, there is still some suspicion between the two of them.

一个滑1500米和1000米，一个滑1000米和500米。唯一的交集就是1000米。

It was Yin Canyu who won the gold medal in the last Winter Olympics. Huang Zaixian has not seen what a gold medal looks like in a major competition in the past three years. His desire for this gold medal must be stronger than Yin Canyu.

So, why is he willing to support Yin Canyu all the time?

Gu Ran thought for a while, and at the next curve, he cut to the outer lane first, and before entering the curve, he added two knives, added up his speed, and tried to overtake from the outer circle.

Huang Zaixian was very keen, and he was very good at collecting the information behind him. He saw through his intention at the first time, changed his route immediately, and firmly blocked his taxiing route.

This time, Gu Ran was so uncomfortable, it was more uncomfortable than wrapping his neck with his hands.

The most uncomfortable Huang Zaixian not only got stuck in Gu Ran's position, but also slowed down. In order to avoid directly colliding with him, Gu Ran had to slow down accordingly.

Good guy, it turns out that Xiao Huang has been conquered by Yin Canyu, and he has no second thoughts, and he is willing to stand behind him and escort his championship road.

What these two now have in their hands is the script of brotherhood.

In the stands, the audience is still waving the five-star red flag in their hands, cheering for the Chinese athletes enthusiastically.Whenever Gu Ran started to speed up, their voices would come from all directions to the ice rink in the middle, so that he would be done without any worries.

Seeing that Gu Ran couldn't find a good opportunity and had to slow down, the cheering from the audience didn't stop, but became even more enthusiastic.

They know that at this critical moment, what Gu Ran needs most is the support and encouragement from his compatriots.

Xu Mei had already buried her head on Gu Changfeng's shoulder, not daring to watch the game anymore.

But she couldn't help it, she still raised her head to take a peek from time to time.

Gu Changfeng held her hand tightly in the palm of his hand, and Xu Mei could easily feel the moist touch from his palm. As a father, Gu Changfeng was no less nervous than her.

The voice of the announcer came from the live broadcast: "There are two laps left in the race, and the leader for the time being is South Korean player Yin Chanyu."

On the eighth lap of the race, Gu Ran still ranked third.

A Chinese player faced three Korean players alone. From the very beginning, the audience knew very well that this would be a very difficult match.

Even though, that Chinese player is Gu Ran.But what he faced was the players who used to be ranked No. [-] and No. [-] in the world in this event.

How could the combination of these two people give him the slightest chance?

Even so, they are still full of hope for Gu Ran, because he is a talented boy who has won 14 world championships in the past three years. He is the hope of China's short track speed skating. How could he lose the heavy responsibility?

He can surpass his opponent and achieve a reversal, he will definitely be able to!

But as the game progressed, the audience's belief began to gradually waver.

Are they going to miss Shoujin?

Not only the audience in the stands clenched their fists, Cheng Sen and Xu Qingxin on the coach's bench also got into a ball.

The two put each other's shoulders on each other and encouraged each other in this way, but kept their eyes on the game on the field, looking forward to the moment when a miracle would appear.

At the second bend of the eighth lap, through careful observation, Gu Ran discovered another detail. Yin Canyu in front moved his finger, as if giving a hint to Huang Zaixian behind him.

what is that?

Up to now, Gu Ran has a rough estimate in his mind. Their lap speed is around 8-7 seconds, which is much higher than the usual World Championships or World Cup competitions.

Yin Canyu has always been in the leading position, and the air resistance he receives is the greatest, and his physical energy consumption should also be the most obvious.

Therefore, Gu Ran guessed that what he did just now was to remind Huang Zaixian to slow down a little and get in position.

Grasping this important information, a flash of inspiration flashed in Gu Ran's mind, and he soon got his attention.

With one final lap left in the race, he is now in third.Unless there are his teammates in front of him, they can ensure that the opponent wins the championship.Otherwise, the bronze medal means nothing to him.

He must put all his eggs in one basket, this is his last chance!

He doesn't know whether he can succeed, but the game has reached the most critical stage, there is no time for him to think carefully, he needs to make a decision immediately.

At this moment, he felt that he was possessed by Chi Lang, and he must go, even if he made a foul!

Recklessness is always closer to courage than cowardice.

The two people in front are still one inside and one outside, and the angle is stuck very well, leaving no leeway.

First of all, Gu Ran has to create a transcendent space for himself, and secondly, he must complete the transcendence in a small space.

This is a very meticulous job, and a little carelessness may cause a foul, either by him or someone else.

It is not difficult to see from the previous competitions that the referees in the Olympic Games have stricter penalty standards than in previous competitions.

There are so many cameras with strange angles beside him, the arbitration camera system, a gift from his father.

Before entering the corner, he was ready to pass again.

At the same time, there were two troublemakers behind him.Zheng Minyu picked up speed to catch up again.That Miller-Brown is also doing things here.

Gu Ran just glanced back from the corner of her eye, not paying attention to them at all.These two people started too early, and they couldn't increase their speed before they entered the corner. They couldn't do anything, they could only retreat back obediently.

At this time, Yin Canyu was on the outer circle, Huang Zaixian was on the inner circle, what Gu Ran had to do was to lead them to the same route.

At this time, Gu Ran suddenly changed his course, and once again chose to surpass from outsiders.

However, his movement still did not escape Huang Zaixian in front. The opponent did not hesitate to change his taxiing route, followed him to the outer circle, and was preparing to slow down at the same time.

There is only one last corner left, and then it is the sprint stage.

Huang Zaixian knew that as long as he could catch Gu Ran, the gold medal would belong to the South Korean team.

They're gonna win, they're gonna win!

Even if he can't get the gold medal, so what, he hates Gu Ran far more than Yin Canyu now, he would rather let Yin Canyu win the championship, and he is willing to be a green leaf, he will not let Gu Ran get this gold medal!

But at the next moment, an incredible scene happened on the field.

The person who was supposed to be in the outer way suddenly appeared in the inner way, and in the blink of an eye, he came to the position shoulder to shoulder with him.

At that moment, Huang Zaixian's mind was filled with "Impossible".Soon, he knew he had been duped.

Gu Ran just gave him a false message, but she didn't intend to go beyond the outside world. Gu Ran's focus has always been on her left leg, and it hasn't changed from the beginning to the end.

Huang Zaixian stretched out his hand subconsciously, trying to stop Gu Ran.But reason told him that this was a foul, and he would definitely be punished by the referee after the game and the result would be cancelled.He quickly withdrew his hand, but made an instinctive choice under his feet—he also cut to the inside.

But he just cut to the outside lane, and the center of gravity has not been adjusted yet, and now he is about to change lanes, so the reaction is naturally a beat slower than Gu Ran.

But he still did it because it was the right choice.Because he wanted to keep compressing Gu Ran's space, and the latter had to swing his arms when he kicked off the ice to get up to speed. With such a close distance between them, physical contact was unavoidable.

He just wanted to make physical contact with Gu Ran, and it would be better if he could cause him to foul. If he couldn't, he would force him to slow down by colliding with his body.

Gu Ran had guessed his thoughts a long time ago, and was prepared at the moment of action.

Huang Zaixian didn't panic when he approached. His left hand was placed by his side, but his right hand was always behind his back.

That's right, he began to consciously train himself half a year ago. He does not need to increase his kinetic energy by swinging his arms while starting up continuously. Instead, he relies on the quality of his pedaling to start up the speed.

The next moment, he rushed into the curve before Huang Zaixian, leaned his body to the left, put his left hand on the ice, increased his speed to the extreme, and overtook Yin Canyu in one breath.

“哇啊啊啊啊啊啊啊！！！！！！！”

In the stands, the audience who had gradually calmed down, when they saw this scene, they raised their hands above their heads and stood up.

Their cheers resounded throughout the huge skating hall, resonating with everyone's heartbeat.

This kind of ups and downs like a roller coaster is not for everyone. The audience who are not so strong in psychological endurance have already covered their eyes with their hands.

At the last corner, Yin Canyu, who fell to second place, couldn't care less, he had to rush up, even if it was just to grab the finish line at the end.

But Gu Ran didn't give him a chance, he didn't even give him the chance to fight with himself to see who would cross the finish line first, but stuck him and his teammates firmly behind him, with his own strength, Block the route of the three of them without leaving a trace.

Gu Changfeng originally thought that Xu Mei didn't have the courage to open her eyes, because his wife has always been a weak and emotional person.

He turned his head away, wanting to tell her that everything was over.Only then was he surprised to find that his wife kept her eyes wide open until the end.

Gu Changfeng said: "Our son is the first to cross the finish line."

Xu Mei nodded, and couldn't help but shed tears again.

The moment he crossed the finish line, Gu Ran felt that something exploded in his mind, and the emotions that had accumulated in his heart for the whole night urgently needed a channel to vent out.

He was still skating very fast on the ice, and while pointing his hands at the sky, he couldn't help but let out a roar from his chest.

Is this the Olympics?Everything is so hard, and everything is so worth it.The moment you cross the finish line, it seems that your whole life is complete.

In the stands, the emotions of the ice fans reached their peak, and cheers filled every corner of the skating hall.

"He was so handsome when he crossed the finish line!!!"

"He did it, he really did it!!!"

"Gu Ran, you are the Olympic champion!"

On the big screen, the results came out quickly. Gu Ran's name and the five-star red flag appeared in the first place. The time was 1:22. He also set a new Olympic record for this event!

The first gold medal of the Chinese sports delegation in this Winter Olympics was born!

On the sidelines, seeing this result, the Korean coaching bench and the Chinese coaching bench showed two completely different states.The mustache coach said something solemnly, then immediately turned and walked into the passage.

The two coaches of the Chinese team hugged each other tightly, unable to say a word for a while.

After a while, Xu Qing patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I've never seen what an Olympic gold medal looks like!"

"Who said it wasn't?" Cheng Sen sighed, "I haven't seen it either."

Xu Qing said, "We'll see each other in a while."

At this time, Gu Ran had already arrived in front of them, and patted the crash pad in front of him: "You two, come and hug me!"

Chi Lang rushed up from behind, jumped onto the crash pad, hugged Gu Ran's head fiercely, and kissed his helmet fiercely: "Gu Xiaoran, I love you so much!"

Cheng Sen grabbed Chi Lang by the back of his neck and threw him aside, hugged Gu Ran himself, while Xu Qing could only touch Gu Ran's helmet on the other side.

Someone nearby touched Gu Ran's arm and handed him something.Gu Ran saw that it was the national flag they had prepared in advance.

The skating hall was too noisy, Chi Lang could only talk and gesture: "I thought I could display the national flag on the ice rink with you, now you go by yourself."

Gu Ran grabbed the two corners of the national flag, took half a step back, shook her hands, and a bright five-star red flag unfolded on the white ice. Gu Ran raised her hands above her head, skating around the ice rink, and The audience displayed the national flag.

The passionate melody of "Singing the Motherland" sounded on the radio, and the audience applauded and sang along.The singing was a bit chaotic at first, and gradually turned into a chorus of thousands of people.

This is the arena of the Olympic Games, bearing countless laughter and tears, fulfillment and regret.

But this is just the beginning...

When Gu Ran walked out of the ice rink and returned to his coach and teammates, he still had a sense of unreality.

Xu Qing hugged him tightly again, patted his head, and after a long while, he could only say one sentence: "Awesome!" His deep voice even trembled a little.

Gu Ran said: "I feel like I'm dreaming now."

Xu Qing smiled: "I have the illusion that my dream has come true."

Gu Ran corrected him: "It's not an illusion."

At this time, the ice rink is building a podium, but the organizing committee only presents souvenirs to the winning athletes on the spot.According to the tradition of the Winter Olympics, the awards ceremony will be held in a dedicated awards plaza.

When Gu Ran came back with the mascot, everyone was very surprised, because this mascot was different from what I usually saw, decorated with many elements of the Winter Olympics, it was a limited edition, and it was only awarded to award-winning athletes. less than.

Cute and cute little thing, not to mention senior sisters, even Gu Ran himself likes it very much.

There were audience members shouting Gu Ran's name loudly in the back, hoping that he would give away a mascot.

Gu Ran shook her head and refused: "No!"

Cheng Sen deliberately teased him: "Can you send me off?"

"No!" Gu Ran embraced the mascot with both hands, and said with a smile, "I want to give it to a very important person."

Chi Lang said embarrassingly: "Then I will admit it, yes, this person is me."

Gu Ran smiled at him: "Go away."

"Okay, let's go!"

There are still many arrangements in the future, Gu Ran has to change clothes immediately, and there will be a post-match press conference later, and the top three athletes must attend.

After changing her clothes, Gu Ran took the time to walk up to the stands.He waved hello to Wei Yuening from afar.Then he went straight to Xu Mei and Gu Changfeng.

He walked all the way, everywhere he passed was applause and cheers, countless mobile phones were pointed at him, and the flashing lights kept flashing.

Gu Ran handed the mascot to Xu Mei: "Hurry up, put it away, so that no one will snatch it from you."

Xu Mei touched her son's face: "Are you tired?"

Gu Ran shook her head: "I don't feel tired now, I just feel excited."

Gu Changfeng also patted his arm twice: "The young man is awesome, he is now an Olympic champion."

Gu Ran raised her eyebrows: "Thank you for the gift."

Gu Changfeng was taken aback: "I didn't see anyone foul."

Gu Ran laughed: "Your arbitration camera system is too deterrent, and athletes naturally have to regulate their behavior on the court."

He asked Gu Changfeng again: "What did you think when you made this?"

Gu Changfeng pointed to the row of cableway camera systems on the top: "The technical requirements are too high, and there are certain difficulties for our R&D team. The arbitration camera system is different. As long as it is high-definition, it can be arranged according to the requirements of the referee team." Good. Four years ago, after discussions with the team, I decided to bid for this project.”

"You can, Mr. Gu." Gu Ran punched his father's chest, "It's a secret."

Gu Changfeng smiled and said, "It's because you haven't lived with us these few years, and you don't care about your parents' work."

Gu Ran said: "You mean to blame me for not accompanying you."

He really doesn't have much time to spend with his parents, and sometimes he has to go abroad for competitions during the Spring Festival.Others can go home for a while at the end of the season, and he chooses to stay in Beijing every year to attend classes.

Under the stands, the team leader was waving to Gu Ran, telling him to get down quickly.

Gu Ran quickly gave her parents a hug, "I have to go, there will be a press conference later."

Gu Changfeng asked: "Can we go to the press conference?"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "You should watch the live broadcast."

Yu Jie seized the time to explain to Gu Ran the matters of the press conference: "This is the Winter Olympics, think about it when answering questions, and don't hold back your words."

Gu Ran said: "What if the reporter asks some tricky questions?"

"Then your answer should be more tactful," Yu Jie patted him on the shoulder, "You guys have been trained. Pay attention to the influence, remember?"

Gu Ran nodded: "I remember."

The press conference didn't start until ten o'clock, now it's nine forty-five.When the game was just over, Gu Ran was so excited, but now he's a little sleepy.

Gu Ran's routine has always been regular, and he would already be in bed at this time.Now she is wrapped in a down jacket and nestled in a chair, with her head down and her eyes closed, and she sleeps as soon as she says she wants to sleep.

Yu Jie really opened her eyes when she came over to call him, she could fall asleep at this time, how heartbroken is she?

She quickly woke up Gu Ran: "Hurry up, the news hall has been set up, let's go."

Gu Ran was still wrapped in a down jacket when he walked in, Yu Jie quickly grabbed him: "Clothes!"

Gu Ran took off the down jacket again and handed it to her, and walked over to the stage with the two Korean athletes.

The three of them first stood together for the reporter to take pictures, and the two Korean players stood there with their bodies straight and expressionless.Gu Ran seemed to be much more relaxed. When she first came on stage, her eyes were a little out of focus.

Reporters from all over the world sat below, of course, Chinese reporters stood the majority.

The reporter's first question is naturally to Gu Ran: "What mood are you in now?"

Gu Ran said, "I'm in a good mood."

Everyone thought that he would say that he was very excited, but he didn't expect that he would win the championship, it was like a dream... In the end, he said that he was in a good mood.

The reporter asked again: "You don't look as excited as we thought."

Gu Ran nodded: "Sleepy."

As soon as this remark came out, not to mention the reporters below, even the officials of the Olympic Organizing Committee on the far side couldn't help laughing.

Even if he is sleepy, he cannot be let go. The reporter still has questions to ask.Another reporter asked: "Last night's opening ceremony, as the standard-bearer of the Chinese sports delegation, how did it affect you?"

Gu Ran said, "There's a lot of pressure."

The reporter asked: "Why?"

Gu Ran said again: "If you don't get the gold medal, you won't be able to close the game."

A total of five or six questions were asked, and he answered less than twenty words in total.Naturally, the other reporters would not let him go easily: "We saw that you not only won the championship, but also broke the Olympic record. Share how you did it."

Gu Ran picked up the mineral water on the table, unscrewed it and took a sip: "If you talk about this, I won't be sleepy."

"I have to praise our ice rink, which is by far the best ice rink I've ever skated on. It's great. Look at the women's 500m. Dutch athletes tied the Olympic record in the preliminaries. What does this mean? What? It shows that our ice rink is really good and can greatly improve our performance.”

Good guy!When talking about myself, the word "sleepy".When it comes to the ice rink, he is eloquent.

After the press conference, the whole team took the bus back to the Winter Olympics Center. Everyone was very curious about Gu Ran's thoughts during the competition.Lin Jiaxi asked him: "Xiaoran, did you decide to skate from the very beginning?"

Gu Ran shrugged: "Obviously, I didn't get a good position."

Lin Jiaxi was so excited that she almost jumped up: "It was so cool for you to overtake at the end! The whole audience was screaming!"

"Really?" Gu Ran was overjoyed in her heart, but on the surface she still pretended to be indifferent, "At that time, my ears were full of wind, and I couldn't hear anything."

Xu Qing raised his chin to him: "Tell me what you thought at that time."

Gu Ran leaned on the back of the chair, and described the tense game situation in a relaxed tone: "The two of them locked the angle too well, and I have no way to surpass. I can only lie to him as a way."

Gao Ziyi was surprised and said: "So, when you cut heresies, did you do it on purpose?"

Gu Ran nodded: "I didn't cut heresy, I just put on a show, and Rhubarb was fooled."

Liang Kexin screamed: "You look too similar, I would be fooled if it were me!"

Lin Jiaxi followed her senior sister to agree: "That's right. Anyway, when we watched it, we all thought that you were going to go beyond heretics."

Meng Yuqiao also said: "Not only Huang Zaixian, but also Yin Canyu didn't expect that the two of them had no time to speed up."

Gu Ran added another key point: "Besides, I know that he will slow down when he gets stuck in my position, so I have to speed up, and he can't catch up with me even if he wants to."

At this time, Cheng Sen suddenly interjected: "The South Korean team may file a complaint."

Chi Lang asked: "What can they appeal?"

Gu Ran said to himself: "Suddenly cut across." He shrugged indifferently, "It doesn't matter, let them go if they want to appeal. Although I cut across, I didn't have any physical contact with anyone."

Having said that, everyone looked at him.Meng Yuqiao asked: "Since last year, you don't swing your arms much when you step on the ice."

Lin Jiaxi nodded frantically: "Yes, I remembered it too, is it because of this reason?"

Gu Ran said: "At the beginning, it was to practice the quality of kicking ice, but later I found that it does have this benefit."

Xu Qing, who was sitting at the front, said: "The current new rules have strict requirements on the position of the arms. Look at the women's 500-meter preliminaries and the 1000-meter rounds today. I can think of at least two. Arm block foul."

Cheng Sen took up the conversation: "You can also feel it yourself. The penalties of the Winter Olympics are much stricter than those of the World Cup, because this is an arena that requires absolute fairness. Any controversial referee needs to repeatedly confirm and make a penalty."

"Some movements are usually considered nothing, but when it comes to the Winter Olympics, you must be extremely careful."

Everyone was happily chatting about Gu Ran winning the gold medal, but while talking, the two coaches started talking again.

So, the team members all quieted down and listened to them.

Cheng Sen also specifically named Chi Lang: "You... Go back and reflect on me. After tomorrow morning's training, do a replay."

Chi Lang nodded honestly: "Got it."

"Wow!" Liang Kexin said, "No. 300 most searched, with more than [-] million views."

Luo Mengyao is also swiping her mobile phone: "#客染#, #古满金级#, #中国队团首金#, #古满静了#, #不起金纪不能结局#... there are eight of the top ten most searched It's related to our little junior brother."

When the two of them said this, other people also took out their mobile phones to watch Gu Ran become popular.

"This picture is so cool!"

"This one is also very handsome."

"Young junior brother's appearance is right there, he has a good figure, and he looks handsome no matter how he shoots."

"I like this one the most. He's the only one standing in the middle of the ice rink, holding the national flag high. He's so domineering!"

Yang Shanshan wanted to interview the newly promoted top student how she was feeling now, but when she looked back, the new top student had already fallen asleep leaning against the car window.Gao Ziyi was putting the down jacket on him.

Gu Ran is indeed very sleepy, and now neither the gold medal nor the traffic can stop him from sleeping.

The author has something to say: Xiaoran: No one is allowed to be more Versailles than me!
