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

Just as everyone was looking forward to it, the result finally came out.

Thousands of pairs of eyes looked at the big screen at the same time. There is no doubt that the Chinese team ranked first!

No.2 in Canada, No.3 in the Netherlands, and the South Korean team was penalized for a foul and had no results.

The rule corresponding to the code is that after the baton is handed over, Fei Fei will occupy the runway and cause obstruction to other players.

This is exactly the same as what Gu Ran guessed before!

Seeing this result, the four hugged each other tightly.Everyone formed a circle, head to head, saying what only they could hear.

Chi Lang smiled gloatingly: "Sure enough, the Korean team won't get anything."

Meng Yuqiao sneered, "It deserves it."

Gao Ziyi said: "They did make a foul and thought they were doing it very covertly, but in fact nothing escaped the eyes of the referee."

Gu Ran was a little proud: "The gift from Mr. Gu is really good!"

Chi Lang gave him a bow with his head: "I know you are the rich second generation."

Gu Ran said, "Then you are the rich third generation."

Chi Lang almost didn't think about it, and blurted out: "Dad!"

"..."

The audience didn't care whether the South Korean team fouled, they only cared that the Chinese team won the championship again!

Cheers once again filled the entire ice skating hall. Today's finale of the short track speed skating competition in this Winter Olympics is also the fifth gold medal won by the Chinese short track speed skating team for the Chinese sports delegation.

So far, the Chinese sports delegation has won a total of ten gold medals, and the short track speed skating team has won half of them.

Among them, Gu Ran participated in a total of five competitions, won five gold medals, and rounded up the championships of all men's events!

Not to mention the Winter Olympics, even the Summer Olympics has never had a Chinese athlete win five gold medals in a single event.

There are only five athletes who have won the most gold medals in Olympic history, and they have won at least two or three Olympic Games.

He is only 18 years old, and in one Winter Olympics, he has accomplished something that others may not be able to achieve in a lifetime.

The last time people heard about such a terrifying result probably dates back to the great swimmers in ancient times.

But the master of swimming can participate in eight events at one go, Gu Ran can only participate in five, and he has won all the gold medals that should be won.

It is really limited by the entries, there is no room for further development.

The game has been over for a long time, but the enthusiasm of the audience has not diminished in the slightest.A temporary podium will be set up on the ice rink, and souvenirs will be awarded to the athletes on the spot.

After the athletes received their souvenirs, the champions, runners-up and third runners-up took a group photo together. The skating hall was still full of people, and no spectators left.

Since Gu Ran won the men's 1000m gold medal on the day of the Winter Olympics, tickets for the short-track speed skating competition have been hard to come by. To be able to sit at the scene tonight and witness Gu Ran's making history, no matter how difficult it is to get a ticket, it is worth it.

Several people returned to the sidelines with their mascots in their arms, and Meng Yuqiao happened to enter the stands from the aisle.

Gu Ran's gaze followed his figure, and it turned out that Meng Yuqiao's family had also arrived at the scene, and his sister Meng Yuxin was waving excitedly at Gu Ran.

So, Gu Ran also followed Meng Yuqiao to the stands.

Meng Yuqiao handed the mascot she just got to Meng Yuxin: "You said you wanted this before, so take it."

"Thank you brother!" Meng Yuxin said this very perfunctorily, keeping her eyes on Gu Ran behind him, "Idol, you are too good!"

Meng Yuqiao frowned: "Isn't your idol me?"

Meng Yuxin said, "It was you before, but now it's him."

Gu Ran quickly waved her hand: "Don't, don't, your brother will beat me up when he goes back."

Meng Yuqiao asked him, "When did I beat you up?"

Gu Ran bumped into his shoulder: "Who doesn't know that you are a sister-in-law."

Meng Yuxin is already 16 years old, she looks a bit like her brother, but her temperament is quite different.

Meng Yuqiao seldom talks, and she has an iceberg face every day, showing a lack of interest in people and things.

Meng Yuxin, on the other hand, was very lively and cheerful. When she saw Gu Ran approaching, she quickly raised her phone: "Come on, let's take a photo together. I want to post on Weibo, so that people all over the country will envy me."

After taking a photo with Meng Yuxin, Gu Ran greeted Meng Yuqiao's parents again, and then walked to the other side of the stand.

Gu Changfeng and Xu Mei were sitting there, seeing their son from afar.Seeing him walking up the stands, all the audience were shouting his name, he was like a bright star in the sky, shining brightly.

Xu Mei took her son's hand: "Why do I feel so unreal?"

"How can it be unreal?" Gu Ran put his arms around her shoulders, "Your son has won five Olympic gold medals, but you still think it's unreal."

Xu Mei said with a smile: "I used to watch TV, and when someone else's child won a gold medal, the parents would cry with joy."

Gu Changfeng, who was on the side, said, "At the opening ceremony, your mother cried when she walked out holding the national flag high. She also cried when you won the first gold medal."

"We think you are very competitive, not only our pride, but also the pride of the country."

"Now that you have won five gold medals, this kind of happiness has surpassed our imagination. My son's name will suddenly be written in history."

Gu Ran laughed and put her arms around her parents' shoulders: "It's not that exaggerated, it's nowhere to be found. Your son is only 18 years old, and he can still participate in several Winter Olympics."

Gu Changfeng smiled and said, "You can't just wrap up the gold medals all the time, right?"

Gu Ran pouted: "Then you can watch it."

Xu Mei gently patted his head: "My Xiaoran is smart and hardworking, there is no goal he can't accomplish."

Gu Ran put her chin on Xu Mei's shoulder and acted like a baby: "Mom knows me best."

"Of course! You were born in October of my pregnancy."

The warm picture of a family of three talking and laughing in the stands was captured by the media and ice fans and posted in the evening.With Gu Ran's current popularity, as long as there is news about him, it will immediately appear in the top two most searched.

"My God! The looks of this family of three are too impressive."

"No wonder Xiaoran looks so good-looking, look at the genes of her parents."

"Xiaoran's mother looks so young. The mother and son are walking on the street. I believe they are siblings."

"Xiaoran's father is also very handsome, and he is very gentle to Xiaoran's mother. I sat behind them last time. Xiaoran broke the world record. Xiaoran's mother cried, and Xiaoran's father even helped Xiaoran's mother wipe her tears. It looks like an idol drama."

"Wait a minute, aren't these my father-in-law and mother-in-law?"

"..."

Tonight's press conference, when Gu Ran went there, a reporter joked with him: "Why is it always you?"

Gu Ran raised her chin at him: "Who else is there besides me?"

The reporter asked again: "The Winter Olympics is over, what are your next plans?"

Gu Ran said: "Take advantage of the winter vacation to rest for two days, take a look at the next semester's courses, and wait to go back to school."

Gu Ran was on a trending search when he was a freshman, and there was a lot of turmoil at that time. Until now, some people still question whether he can complete his studies after taking such an awesome class in college, and he has to train and go to school.

"Give us a brief introduction, which courses are you mainly studying in school now?"

Gu Ran casually said a few things to her: "Algorithm design, network science, computing theory, quantum computer science, computer system structure, optimization theory... Which one do you want to hear?"

"Do you think this is difficult for you?"

Gu Ran nodded: "It's quite difficult!"

The reporter continued to guide him to connect learning with short-track speed skating: "For you, what is the specific difficulty? Is it because competition and training take up too much of your time?"

Gu Ran nodded again: "Well, I didn't get full marks in two courses in the final exam last semester."

"!!!"

The reporter thought he heard it wrong: "Full... full marks?"

As soon as this remark came out, netizens exploded again.

"Those who have won five gold medals in the Olympic Games must get full marks in the exam!!!"

"Please, please leave a way for others to survive."

"Some paper kings are turning over basic physics on the plane going abroad for competitions."

"Between other people's games: take the time to take a break, Gu Xiaoran between games: take the time to do the set of questions."

"He won all the gold medals in his first Winter Olympics, so I'm worried that he will retire."

"Several years later, people were pleasantly surprised to find that his name was included in the list of winners of the Turing Award."

"..."

In the evening, Gu Ran posted a Weibo: "If you point your sword at the stars, even if you miss the stars, you can land on the clouds."

Netizens felt inspired when they saw this passage.Even a genius cannot succeed casually.

They always have great ambitions, demand themselves with the most stringent standards, and realize their dreams through unremitting efforts.

Gu Ran still participated in the closing ceremony of the Winter Olympics as the flag bearer of the Chinese sports delegation.

Then, a lot of media found him, hoping to interview him. Some reporters found his parents, the high school he had attended, and even Jiang Yan, asking to interview them about Gu Ran.

There are also some magazines that invite him to shoot the cover, and sponsors frequently throw olive branches to him, hoping that he can endorse him, and many first-line luxury brands even invite him to attend commercial activities.

After five gold medals, his popularity remained high, and the number of Weibo fans increased by hundreds of thousands every day.

No one wants to miss such a large amount of traffic, and does everything possible to develop various forms of cooperation with him.

Not only him, but the entire short track speed skating team is well known to people all over the country.After the Winter Olympics, everyone has been interviewed by various TV media one after another.

Lin Jiaxi was born in a Chinese family in Canada. He has never been to China since he was a child, but he has always firmly believed that he is Chinese.

Meng Yuqiao changed from roller skating to short track, from club to national team.This is a great incentive for many children in southern cities to practice roller skating.

With an innate rebelliousness, Chi Lang has been hated by people since he was a child. He smashed all the windows in the family courtyard of the Public Security Bureau. He was almost expelled from the sports school for fighting.

What his father asked him was not to be bad, just not to cause trouble to the society and the country, and not to expect him to stand out.

How could he know that such a muddy boy is also an Olympic champion now.Instead of causing trouble to the country, it brought glory to the country.

Gao Ziyi was born in a remote rural area. It took several different means of transportation to get from his home to the provincial capital, and it took two days to form a group.

There is an elderly grandmother in the family, a father who is seriously ill and bedridden, and a younger sister who is in school.

Gao Ziyi said frankly that short-track speed skating gave him this opportunity to move from a remote mountain village to a big city, and then to the world, changing the fate of his family.

They are actually very young, Meng Yuqiao is 22 years old, Gao Ziyi and Chi Lang are under 21 years old, Lin Jiaxi is 20 years old, Gu Ran is the youngest of them, not yet 19 years old.

They have just entered the golden stage of their careers, and there are still many challenges waiting for them in the future.

After the arrangement of the winter management center, Gu Ran participated in a character interview program not long after.

Among them, the host asked him a question: "We saw a very interesting statement on the Internet."

"Some netizens said that you have achieved achievements that many athletes can't even say. If you were them, you would choose to retire now and make yourself a legend forever. Do you have such an idea?"

When he asked this question, Gu Ran shook his head, and gave his answer simply and directly: "No."

The host asked: "Why?"

Gu Ran smiled and said: "Because I enjoy everything that short track speed skating has brought me, five Olympic gold medals are just the beginning for me, and there are more goals waiting for me to achieve."

"for example?"

"World record." Gu Ran raised the corners of his lips and smiled. His smile contained both the cleanliness and purity of a young man who doesn't know how to feel sad, and the confidence and calmness of a strong man who plans strategies, "Wait for me someday Rewrite all records into my own name, maybe consider retiring."

"What if that day comes soon? The World Championships will be held in Salt Lake City next month. It is a plateau ice rink where many famous short track speed skaters have set new world records."

Gu Ran shrugged: "Then retire."

The host asked: "After retiring, what are your plans?"

Gu Ran said frankly: "I haven't thought about it, but there are many choices, such as finishing school, trying other sports, or letting more people understand and participate in short track speed skating."

When mentioning studies, the host started the next topic: "Many people are very curious, how did you manage to win the Olympic gold medal and take the top class in a prestigious school at the same time?"

Gu Ran said, "There is no shortcut."

"How to understand?"

"As much as you pay, you will gain as much. This must be directly proportional. All the honors you see are exchanged with time and sweat."

At the end of the interview, the host asked Gu Ran the last question: "If you were asked to say a word to those children who are inspired by you and are or will be engaged in short track speed skating, what would you say?"

Gu Ran said: "My first teacher told me this sentence. Talent is just a seed. It needs hard work and sweat to take root and sprout and bloom."

Although the Winter Olympics is over, the much-anticipated life is not over yet.

The whole world is still talking about Gu Ran's achievements, and the topics and enthusiasm about him will continue for a long time.

Under the arrangement of the Winter Management Center, Gu Ran also participated in a series of commercial shootings, covering everything from food, clothing, housing and transportation, not only on TV and the Internet, but his posters can be seen everywhere in the streets and alleys.

For those who like him, it is of course a good thing to see his news frequently.

However, dominating the screen in various channels for a long time will inevitably attract some criticism.

Soon, some not-so-good comments emerged online.

"There are various marketing bombardments every day. Is the next step to enter the entertainment industry?"

"Some people's fan filters are too thick. The young man looks good, so there's no need for fans to bully others."

"I can see Gu Ran's advertisement when I open an app now. The prize money for a gold medal should not be low, so it's not so short of money."

"Is this to seize the time to cash in while your traffic is still there?"

"Isn't it time for a cameo movie next?"

"It's floating a bit."

"That's it? I don't think I should go to the Winter Olympics in four years' time."

"Then it's better to retire now, so as to save everyone from losing face in the future, it will be a big embarrassment."

Gu Ran saw all these doubts about him, but he never responded.

School will start soon, even if there are no such remarks that question him, she should get out of the overwhelming heat and live her original life.

Although Gu Ran did not respond to these remarks, he himself did not care.

However, Xu Mei and Gu Changfeng saw these comments on the Internet as dazzling.

No parent can tolerate malicious attacks on their children, let alone their son who has just won five gold medals for the country.

Some people even said that Gu Ran was short of money and couldn't wait to cash in on the traffic.

Gu Changfeng couldn't take it anymore, so he immediately registered a Weibo account and posted a post.

He said: "Hi everyone, I am Gu Ran's father. Before my son was born, I discussed with his mother that we will give all our love to him alone, and there will be no second child."

"Gu Ran has been very sensible since she was a child. Whether it is study, life or moral quality, she has never made us worry about it."

"So, as he grows up, I also promise my son in my heart that I will never let him worry about material things."

"As parents, we are very happy that our son can win glory for the country in the Olympics. This is his mission as an athlete, and he has successfully completed the mission with his own performance."

"I believe that everything he does now is because he likes to do it, not because of money."

"Thank you very much for liking him, supporting him, and understanding him."

Obviously, Gu Changfeng's long speech was in response to those on the Internet who said that Gu Ran's frequent advertisements were due to lack of money, and he was anxious to realize the traffic.

He claimed to be Gu Ran's father, and immediately attracted a large crowd of netizens.Soon, the number of views on this Weibo reached hundreds of thousands, and the number of likes and reposts exceeded [-], making it directly on Weibo hot searches.

Netizens carefully discovered that although this person claimed to be Gu Ran's father, he did not introduce himself at all.

Many people are questioning the authenticity of this Weibo account, but soon, this Weibo account has been certified - the founder and CEO of a certain technology company.

So, everyone went to various business information platforms to inquire about the origin of this technology company.

If you don't check, you don't know. After this investigation, everyone found out.It turned out that this technology company turned out to be an official partner of the Winter Olympics, and undertook the arbitration camera system of several large venues such as the National Speed ​​Skating Stadium, the National Skating Stadium, the National Curling Stadium, and the National Ice Hockey Stadium.

People don't know what this arbitration camera system is. After searching on the search engine, they found out that this is unique to today's Winter Olympics. It is different from the TV broadcast system. Another camera device is specially used for referees' judgments. Provide video evidence.

Not only short track speed skating, but also ice hockey, curling, figure skating and speed skating, many key decisions are due to the high definition and accuracy of this arbitration camera system.

Then, everyone found out the name of the company's founder and current CEO—his name is Gu Changfeng, and he is Gu Ran's father.

He is not only an Olympic champion, a top student in a prestigious school, handsome and in good shape, he is also a genuine rich second generation.

Netizens were stunned: "My God, is this the legend that if you don't train well, you will go home and inherit billions of dollars?"

"So, his purpose of learning computer is to go home and inherit the company?"

"My God, what window did God close for him?"

"Those of you who say that people are short of money and are eager to cash in traffic, can't you slap them in the face?"

"See, he is not short of money at all. Even if he is short of money, so what if he accepts the endorsement. Advertisers value his commercial value. Is there any problem?"

Soon, the official Weibo of the Winter Management Center also came forward to respond to this incident: "Gu Ran, an active athlete of the National Short Track Speed ​​Skating Training Team, all the advertisements shot during this period are all from the partners of the national team And the sponsor, and he does not have any cooperation relationship in private."

It turned out that the advertisements shot on the street were all the tasks of the national team, and he didn't shoot them for money at all. Now everyone was slapped in the face.

There was a lot of discussion about this matter on the Internet, but from the beginning to the end, Gu Ran didn't come out and say anything.

He saw the Weibo post by Gu Changfeng, and went to talk to his father about it instead: "Actually, you don't need to post those things."

Gu Changfeng said: "You are my son, so I can't bear others bullying you."

Gu Ran smiled and said: "It's like this on the Internet. If someone says you are good, someone must say you are not good. I am used to it. I don't care about it so much."

Gu Changfeng's attitude was very firm: "Although you don't care about it, as your father, it is my responsibility to protect you. I will never allow others to hurt my son in any way."

"Father!" Gu Ran suddenly called out.

His son is almost 19 years old. Gu Changfeng usually hears a simple "Dad", or "Dad", or just call him "Mr. Gu". It has been a long time since he heard the phrase "Dad". .

Gu Ran said: "Actually, in my heart, you have always been a perfect father."

Hearing these words made Gu Changfeng happy, but he still pretended to be calm and asked: "Really?"

"Really!" Gu Ran laughed, "My dad is handsome, can make money, and is very family-friendly. When I was young, I thought you were omnipotent, and I always regarded you as an idol."

Gu Changfeng has never smiled so happily in his life: "It feels so good to be an idol for an Olympic champion."
