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

According to the MRI, the cruciate ligament of Gu Ran's left joint was slightly torn, and he needs to rest for at least 8-12 weeks.

The team doctor considered that he was almost 30 years old after all, and his recovery was slower than those young athletes in their teens and 20s. It was said to be 8-12 weeks, but in fact, it depends on the recovery of the injury after 12 weeks. The recovery time is actually not very fast. uncertain.

When Gu Ran heard the result, her mood was very complicated. She didn't know whether she was relieved or more confused.

The moment he fell, the tearing pain from his knee joint made him almost think that his ligaments were about to break.Judging from the MRI film, it was just a torn ligament, a blessing in misfortune.

But a torn ligament is not a minor injury that can be recovered in a short time. A two-centimeter-long opening still requires a long period of rest.The team doctor said at least 12 weeks of rest, which is nearly three months.It is now approaching April, and July will be three months later, and there are only three months left before the next season.

Gu Ran retired for three years, came back for three months, and now has to be injured for another three months, and the time suddenly became insufficient.The key is, to what extent he can recover after three months, whether he can continue to train and play, and whether old injuries will be left behind are still unknown.

In the end, there is only one thing that everyone is worried about - what impact will this injury have on Gu Ran, and will he be able to last until next year's Winter Olympics?

After all the matches of the World Championships were over, Cheng Sen also rushed to the hospital immediately, and Lin Jiaxi came with him.

Gu Ran leaned on the hospital bed, and when she saw Lin Jiaxi's first sentence, she asked him how the result of the all-around competition was.

The champions of the men's three individual events belonged to three people respectively. Gu Ran retired due to injury, and the most powerful gold medal contenders were Zhao Zhishuo and Lin Jiaxi.

Lin Jiaxi glanced at his raised left leg, which was in plaster, and put his hand on his shoulder: "It's all hurt like this, and I still have the mood to care about whether I won the championship."

Gu Ran put her hand on the back of his hand: "We must care about it, we must not let the Koreans win the gold medal."

Lin Jiaxi said: "Don't worry, in the super 3000 meters, I got No. 3 for the first point and No. 1 for the second point. That Zhao Zhishuo, No. 1 for the first point, and No. 8 for the second point. Five, I won the championship by [-] points higher than him."

Dimples appeared on Gu Ran's face immediately: "Then I can rest assured."

Cheng Sen looked at him with a complicated expression, and tapped his plastered leg twice: "You can still laugh."

Gu Ran shrugged indifferently: "It's already like this anyway, what else can I do except laugh at life?"

Cheng Sen turned his head, saw Xu Qing's worried face, and felt that the situation was not good: "Tell me about the specific situation."

Xu Qing said: "The cruciate ligament is torn and needs to rest for at least 12 weeks."

Hearing that it was 12 weeks, Cheng Sen's heart also "thumped", but he still comforted Gu Ran: "Fortunately, after the World Championships is a holiday, go back and take care of yourself, rest while taking treatment, at most, you will return to the team a few weeks later."

Xu Qing also said: "After I go back, I will contact sports medicine experts. Maybe it won't take that long, and I will recover soon."

He rubbed Gu Ran's head again: "Don't worry."

Gu Ran smiled: "I'm not worried."

Cheng Sen suddenly remembered something, and said to Xu Qing: "I remember when you were injured, the old expert who treated you was good."

Xu Qing gave him a white look: "You should retire early, how many years has it been?"

"Director Cheng, Director Xu," Gu Ran interrupted them, "During this time...I want to stay in the Netherlands."

Cheng Sen was taken aback: "Stay in the Netherlands?"

Gu Ran nodded: "I want to stay here for rehabilitation. Marco sent me a message just now, saying that they have a low-temperature freezing technology here, which is particularly effective in treating soft tissue injuries. I want to stay and try it."

Cheng Sen and Xu Qing glanced at each other, and the latter said, "Flying for more than ten hours is indeed a lot of trouble. Since there are new technologies here, it's good to stay and try, then I will stay with you too."

Gu Ran waved her hand: "No, you have worked hard for a year, and you finally have more than a month's vacation. You should go back and spend more time with your family."

Cheng Sen said, "How can we feel at ease if you stay here alone?"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "I'm 30 years old, and I'm not short of money. Don't worry, I can take care of myself."

Lin Jiaxi suggested: "How about I stay with you, anyway, I'm fine."

Gu Ran shook her head: "Actually, I just want to stay here alone to relax..."

He obviously only said half of what he said, opened his mouth for the second half, and swallowed it back.

He insisted on staying in the Netherlands and did not need company.Cheng Sen and Xu Qing firmly disagreed at first, but they were persuaded by him.

Children have their own ideas since they were young, and no one else can change the decisions they make.

The whole team would have also returned to Amsterdam, and then took a flight back home.

The next day, Cheng Sen and Xu Qing sent Gu Ran to the rehabilitation physiotherapy center recommended by Marko. The conditions here are very good in all aspects, food and lodging are taken care of, the environment is good, and the medical technology is also world-leading.

Only then did the two coaches feel relieved, settled Gu Ran down and followed the team back home.

In the first few days, Gu Ran answered a lot of calls, from his parents, from Jiang Yan, Gao Ziyi and Meng Yuqiao who stayed in Beijing to train the team members, Chi Lang who was recording a program in the Maldives, and knocked on the phone in the laboratory. Wei Yuening of the code.

Everyone was very concerned about his injury. Gu Changfeng and Xu Mei were about to book plane tickets to visit him, but they were stopped by Gu Ran.

He just wants to take advantage of the time of recuperation to stay alone, do nothing, don't care about anything, it's very comfortable to think about it.

During the period of treatment in Amsterdam, Gu Ran also met a new friend, also a Chinese, surnamed Lin.He is an expert in the field of sports medicine, very authoritative, and has his own clinic. It is said that many well-known athletes have sought help from him.

The rehabilitation center specially invited this Dr. Lin for consultation, and the other party recognized Gu Ran as soon as he entered the consultation room.

This doctor Lin looks very young, looks gentle, speaks softly, and smiles very friendly, making Gu Ran feel very kind in a foreign country.

During the consultation process, both of them spoke Chinese, and there were a few small talk from time to time, mainly Dr. Lin asked questions, and Gu Ran cooperated in answering.

Dr. Lin learned that Gu Ran had retired for nearly three years for next year's Winter Olympics and decided to come back at the age of 30. He admired him very much.

Therefore, this doctor Lin immediately decided to cancel all subsequent schedules and work arrangements, and stay in the rehabilitation center to help Gu Ran treat his injuries.

Gu Ran was rather flattered: "This... this is not very good."

Dr. Lin read his series of examination reports, and then conducted a physical examination on him: "It's okay, I will go to the rehabilitation center to treat you every day, and it will last for about two weeks. You don't have to bear any extra expenses, as long as you cooperate with me. good."

Gu Ran said, "That's so embarrassing."

"Don't be embarrassed, after two weeks, you can just receive normal rehabilitation training."

Gu Ran asked: "Then how long will it take for my injury to heal?"

Dr. Lin thought for a while: "You can start adaptive training in about six weeks."

"Six weeks?" Gu Ran looked at him incredulously, "The team doctor suggested that it would be best to rest for 12 weeks, and the doctor in the rehabilitation center said at least 8 weeks. When you come here, it becomes 6 weeks, and the time is directly halved."

Dr. Lin smiled and said, "Isn't it good to halve?"

Gu Ran nodded thoughtfully: "That's good, but, in such a short time, are you sure you won't have any other problems?"

"Promise not."

"..."

Dr. Lin is very powerful. He is not only an expert in the field of sports medicine, but also proficient in traditional medicine. He is very good at acupuncture, massage, and prescribing prescriptions. He takes a thermos with him and feeds Gu Ran with medicine. One dose a day, Take it in the morning and evening.

The prescription for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis tasted very bitter, Gu Ran started to shudder when he saw the taste buds on the tongue of the thermos, wishing he could bury himself in the quilt and never come out.

Teacher Gu never thought in his life that one day he would have a stress response to a thermos.

Dr. Lin is a true master of both Chinese and Western cultures. He is as gentle as jade, and it is very comfortable to get along with him.Gu Ran felt that two weeks had passed without knowing it. Although Gu Ran's injury had not healed, the MRI showed that the torn ligament healed much faster than expected.

One of Gu Ran and him is a medical student and the other is a computer student. Although they don't understand the majors, they have the same education background and have achieved certain achievements in their respective fields.

Dr. Lin is very busy and needs to go to Switzerland for a meeting. Before leaving, Dr. Lin exchanged contact information with Gu Ran: "I remember that the Winter Olympics will be held in Switzerland next year. I will go to see you win the championship."

Gu Ran fiddled with the phone in her hand, and smiled noncommittally.

Dr. Lin patted him on the shoulder: "Rest well, don't think too much."

Gu Ran was recuperating in Amsterdam, and Cheng Sen was not idle here either.After the competition, he appealed to the International Skating Federation, and he has been following up on this matter for more than a month.

His appeal is very simple, asking the International Skating Federation to suspend Zheng Minyu next season and ban him from participating in next year's Winter Olympics.

The South Korean team also protested. They said that Zheng Minyu was interfered by Gu Ran many times during the game, and finally had to foul out of self-protection.The penalty for the referee to give a red card in the game is already very serious, and the suspension is unacceptable to them.

However, the International Skating Federation did not adopt the South Korean team's statement. After watching the video repeatedly, the arbitration committee still stated that Zheng Minyu's actions at that time were extremely dangerous behaviors, which may cause serious consequences.The red card punishment given by the referee according to the rules is the maintenance of sportsmanship, so that athletes can participate in the game with confidence.

And in order to resist this kind of improper competition on the field, the National Skating Federation decided to impose a one-season penalty on Zheng Minyu, that is, from October this year to April next year, he cannot participate in all international events, including the Winter Olympics.

Afterwards, Jung Min Woo himself accepted an exclusive interview with a Korean TV media.In front of the camera, he tearfully stated that he did not foul maliciously. He wanted to protect himself and his teammates. He committed the foul in desperation. He felt very wronged by the red card, and the penalty of a one-season suspension was even more unbelievable.

Then he said that he is 31 years old. In the past ten years of his professional career, he has not been afraid of strong enemies, insisted on competing with the Chinese team, and has been fighting for the honor of South Korea's short track speed skating.

He is very eager to continue playing for the South Korean team. Next year's Winter Olympics is a great opportunity. Their new generation players are more capable than the Chinese team. They will definitely be able to beat the Chinese team to win the gold medal. He is looking forward to this day.But now, because of Gu Ran, his last ambition and dream were ruined.

His hard work has broken the hearts of South Korean ice fans. The Chinese team has always been their worst enemy, pulling them down from the dominance of short track speed skating in the world. In eight years, three Winter Olympics Create a new dynasty.Gu Ran even swept the three Winter Olympics, won fifteen gold medals, and became No.1 in the history of the Winter Olympics.

Even in the most glorious period of Korean short track speed skating, there is no Korean athlete who has come close to such a result. How can Korean ice fans not be jealous?Eyes are bleeding.

It is meaningless for Zheng Minyu not to retire now. He will be 36 after another Winter Olympics.The South Korean team is full of talents, and some are young people waiting to be promoted. How can he be allowed to continue to hang around in the national team.

He can only choose to retire. After retiring, he has no scruples. He frequently participates in various talk shows. Every topic is inseparable from Gu Ran. He simply regards Gu Ran as his wealth code, revealing some inside and outside of the game out of nothing details.He himself said it very cryptically, and through media exaggeration, he guided radical audiences to abuse and slander him in order to make a profit.

Although he doesn't have much traffic, Gu Ran has, and has a very high reputation and attention all over the world.Therefore, the content of these interviews quickly spread around the world.

Gu Ran lives a peaceful life in the Netherlands. Every day, counting the time difference, she calls her parents and chats with her parents, then helps Wei Yuening write codes, and talks about life philosophy with Dr. Lin. News about speed skating.

However, Zheng Minyu became more and more unscrupulous, and even mentioned Cui Zhien in front of the media.It is said that Cui Zhien secretly promised Gu Ranfang when he participated in the World Youth Championship for the first time. Over the years, he has publicly shown his favor many times, but the other party simply ignored him.

As soon as this remark came out, Cui Zhien was completely angered.

Ms. Cui didn't talk much, she threw out a bunch of screenshots of emails, all of them were sent by Zheng Minyu, and the content at the beginning was all kinds of goodwill, expressing her love for Cui Zhien.

Cui Zhien ignored him, and later he used all sorts of eccentricities in the email, saying that Cui Zhien posted back, saying that she was a traitor to the Korean team.

In the end, Cui Zhien also said that Huang Zaixian, Guo Chengjun, and Zheng Minyu couldn’t run in the black-box selection of the Korean short-track speed team before, but in the end only the former coach was responsible, Huang Zaixian became the new head coach, and Zheng Minyu He and Guo Chengjun have been relying on the national team, suppressing small players, giving opportunities to those who are obedient, and those who are disobedient are not even eligible to participate in the competition.

In the end, Choi Ji-eun made a conclusion: "Everything about the Korean team makes me sick. I study how to prevent fouls on the field from being discovered by the referee every day. If the players want to go abroad to compete, the first thing is not to practice their skills, but to please the head coach. How to push, how to pretend to be innocent in front of the media. Such a shady team should not appear in the international arena."

Although Cui Zhien left South Korea, he has not come forward to publicly say anything about the South Korean team in recent years.This time, Zheng Minyu touched her bottom line, she stopped being silent, and stood up not only smashed the previous licking dog, but also hammered the Korean team again.

During this smoky meal, ice fans who loved Gu Ran stood up to speak for him at first, but later found out that this was a farce within the Korean team, so they stopped arguing with Korean netizens and waited for the meal with peace of mind. melon.

In the end, Zhao Zhishuo from the South Korean team stood up and publicly stated on social platforms: "No matter what happened in the past, next year's Winter Olympics, if I want to win the Chinese team, I will win it openly."

This status was posted for a few minutes, and the same comment in various languages ​​appeared below: "Remember what you said."

After six weeks of treatment, Gu Ran felt that Dr. Lin was indeed a reincarnated miracle doctor.

According to the MRI film, as he said, the torn cruciate ligament of Gu Ran's left knee joint has healed, but the range of motion of his knee joint has not recovered to the previous level.

Regarding this issue, Gu Ran also consulted Dr. Lin on WeChat.The other party said: "What's the hurry, it will hurt your muscles and bones for a hundred days."

"One hundred days?" Gu Ran was surprised, "Aren't you kidding me?"

Dr. Lin smiled and said, "Of course...it's just a joke. You'll be done with two more weeks of recovery training."

So, Gu Ran stayed here for another two weeks.He left Amsterdam and returned to Heerenveen.

He found a hotel by the river to stay, and had recovery training in the morning and afternoon, and lay down by the river in a daze the rest of the time.

This time, another two weeks.

As far as he could remember, he had never had such a good time.As long as he can remember, Xu Mei has arranged various interest classes for him.

Later, he started to practice short track speed skating. Every year, there is more than a month of vacation at the end of the season. Others can go home to rest, but he needs to make up for the homework that fell during the season.

After retiring, he spent all his time in the laboratory.Thinking about it this way, getting hurt isn't necessarily a bad thing.

He had just spent three leisurely days in Heerenveen when an old friend came to him.
