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

Gu Ran, the Olympic champion, won too much, but she wasn't too excited.But the children were very excited, especially Chen Yuze, who hugged him and refused to let go.

Gu Ran patted him on the shoulder twice: "Okay, okay, the reporters are taking pictures of you."

Chen Yuze buried his head on his shoulder and said sullenly, "It's okay, let them take pictures."

The two girls had already arrived at the coach's bench, hugging Cheng Sen excitedly.Xu Qing waved to Gu Ran, telling him to hurry over.

Gu Ran could be regarded as pulling Chen Yuze off her body: "Let's go, Director Xu is calling us."

When sliding towards the coach's bench, Chen Yuze was still clinging tightly to Gu Ran's side: "Idol, did I perform well just now?"

Gu Ran looked at him from the side, Chen Yuze had already taken off the goggles, and the eager eyes when he looked at him were like a puppy wagging its tail, waiting for the owner's praise.

Gu Ran nodded, and then slapped his helmet again: "It's not a question. He led us to the gold medal in the mixed team, and his performance is of course the best in the world."

This kind of praise is really exaggerated, it sounds insincere, Chen Yuze pouted: "You are laughing at me."

Gu Ran put an arm around his shoulder: "No way, it's really great."

He pointed to the big screen again, and the moment when Chen Yuze surpassed the Dutch athlete was being played repeatedly on it: "It will become a wonderful moment of this Winter Olympics. For many years to come, when people mention your name, they will mention this classic picture .”

These words made Chen Yuze very excited, even more excited than winning the Winter Olympics championship. He feels that he is now a world famous player, and he can catch up with his idol a little bit.

When they came to the coach's bench and saw the two coaches, Chen Yuze was excited again. He jumped onto the crash pad and opened his arms to hug them.

He played very well today. The two coaches were very satisfied and gave him a hug: "Good performance, we will continue to work hard in the next game."

Chen Yuze nodded heavily: "Elder, don't worry, I will!"

The phrase "two elders" was learned from Gu Ran, and it broke Cheng Sen's defenses, and slapped him on the arm: "Get out!"

At this time, Gao Ziyi handed over the national flag: "Go and enjoy your championship moment!"

The two girls each held a corner, unfurled the national flag and slid to the center of the ice rink, waved to the ice fans in the stands, and Chen Yuze quickly jumped off the non-slip mat and slid over.

Only Gu Ran was still standing where she was, looking thoughtfully at her juniors and younger sisters, her eyes were full of herself when she participated in the Winter Olympics for the first time many years ago.

Suddenly, there was a hand on his shoulder, Gu Ran turned around and saw that it was his Senior Brother Xiao Gao.

As he grew older, Gao Ziyi's temperament became more calm and introverted, and his smile was still so gentle. He stuck to Gu Ran's ear and asked him: "Are you tired?"

Gu Ran took off her gloves, covered the back of the opponent's hand with her palm, and patted it twice: "I'm not tired, I'm physically fit."

The three people in front suddenly turned their heads and waved to him: "Brother, come here."

Gao Ziyi gave him a push: "Go quickly."

In the mixed interview area, several people were stopped by reporters to conduct a post-match interview with them.

The reporter naturally handed the microphone to Gu Ran, intending to ask him questions.Unexpectedly, Gu Ran took a step back, and pushed Chen Yuze beside him to the front: "If you have any questions, ask him, he is the protagonist today, and I won by lying down."

When Chen Yuze heard his words, he almost jumped up: "Don't, don't, it's the brother who took us to lie down."

The reporter is also very sensible. Since Gu Ran wants to give the younger brother a chance to perform, he is also the beauty of an adult. He handed the microphone to Chen Yuze and began to ask him questions: "We saw that the Chinese team is still in the second-to-last round of the game. In the second position, but your overtaking was very beautiful and crucial, can you talk about your thoughts at that time?"

Chen Yuze looked at Gu Ran again: "My mind is full of my brother, the tactics he usually tells me, how to deal with this situation."

"Brother has experienced a lot of things this year, and he has also endured a lot of pressure. We seem to have gotten used to it and handed over the heavy responsibility of winning the championship to him. So this time, I wanted to share some of the pressure for him in my own way, but I didn't expect to succeed. .”

At the World Championships half a year ago, he held Gu Ran's hand nervously during every interview, but this time he was able to talk eloquently in front of the camera, recalling the details of winning the championship in front of the national audience.

"The atmosphere of the game is very tense, and the situation is changing rapidly. I don't have much time to think about it. Once I make a decision, I must seize the opportunity."

Thinking of the game just now, the two girls next to each other couldn't help leaning against each other with tears in their eyes.

So, Gu Ran handed the microphone to Bai Xinyi: "Come on, girls, tell me how you feel now."

Bai Xinyi wiped away her tears: "This is my third year in the national team. Except for Brother Xiao Gu, I am the oldest among us."

"To be honest, just over a year ago, I didn't dare to think that I could win the Olympic gold medal, but the return of Senior Brother Gu made me dare to dream, and through hard work, I will turn my dream into reality bit by bit."

Deng Wen beside her was also nodding: "As long as Senior Brother Xiao Gu is on the court, anything can happen."

These juniors and juniors are so sensible, they praised Gu Ran back and forth during the interview.

Major social platforms, Chinese short track speed skating and the names of the four athletes also quickly became popular searches.

Especially Gu Ran, as long as he is still on the field of the Winter Olympics, his name must be the most popular entry on the hot list.

"Looking at his state during the game, who would believe that he will be 31 years old this year."

"Keep it well, and there will be no problem in participating in another Winter Olympics."

"Xiaoran looks so handsome in glasses, from a handsome boy to a gentle god, he will always be my favorite."

"Short track speed skating is indeed a sharp knife of China's ice and snow. In the past 12 years, they have won the first gold medal in every Winter Olympics."

"The players are great, and the two coaches have also worked hard. I look forward to their better performance in the future."

"..."

There was a press conference right after, Gu Ran suggested that Chen Yuze attend, but Yu Jie said that many reporters came from China and had already waited in the press hall for more than an hour just to ask him questions.

Not only the reporters, many people are still waiting in the official live broadcast room after the game for so long, waiting to watch the live broadcast of the press conference.

Gu Ran couldn't ignore the kindness of so many people, so she could only follow Yu Jie to the press conference.

Unsurprisingly, the reporter came up and asked him: "You have already retired after the end of the last Winter Olympics, and you only came back last year. How did you think about it at that time, and why did you come back?"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "I feel like I'm getting stronger and stronger, and I can still persevere."

The reporter was amused by him: "You have nothing to do with the word 'old'."

"Thank you."

The reporter asked again: "You chose to come back, is it related to the poor record of the national team in the international arena at that time, and the inability of young players to support the future of China's short track speed skating?"

Gu Ran didn't answer his question directly, but said: "It's not that they can't support the future of China's short track speed skating, it just takes time. Everyone has seen today's competition, and my teammates showed the top performance .”

"No matter what the project is, I hope that friends from the media can give more confidence to the young players and let them grow up, instead of rushing to judge them."

Then the microphone was passed to another reporter, who was a foreign reporter: "Ice fans all over the world are paying attention to your next performance. Is this motivation or pressure for you?"

Gu Ran smiled and said: "Motivation and pressure complement each other, there is no difference to me."

The reporter asked again: "In the men's 1000m race the day after tomorrow, your biggest competitor is Zhao Zhishuo of the South Korean team. He is also a very young and strong opponent. Many people say that he is the most talented after you. Young athlete, have you done any research specifically on him?"

Gu Ran replied very simply: "No."

"why?"

"There's no need for that." Speaking of which, Gu Ran smiled again, "Last year, they did a lot of research on me, did they beat me?"

What he said last year was that Zheng Minyu was suspended by the International Skating Union, and he frequently publicized rumors in the media, touching his showmanship.

Before the reporter could speak, Gu Ran smiled casually: "However, I don't think they are in the mood to study me now, they have more important things to study."

After saying this, it was almost time for the post-match press conference. Under the guidance of the staff, Gu Ran got up and walked out of the press room.

His last words clearly meant something, and before tonight's mixed relay final, a female athlete was taken from the South Korean team, and they had to replace them.

And this sudden change had a big impact on the other players, and their performance in the final was astonishing.Even though it was a five-team match, the audience thought there were only four teams on the field.

The next day, the Olympic Organizing Committee, the International Skating Federation, and the reflection sub-organization issued statements one after another. The female athlete who was taken away tested positive for erythropoietin in the urine test specimen outside the competition. They decided to suspend her and ordered her to Move out of the Winter Olympic Village.

Just after the start of the Winter Olympics, the South Korean short track speed skating team had a doping scandal, which was a bolt from the blue for them.

The Anti-Doping Organization immediately conducted a second urine test on the South Korean athletes, and many media followed up with reports and made speculations—the World Anti-Doping Organization suspected that the South Korean team took banned drugs collectively.

In the past few days, the news pages of the Winter Olympics have been dominated by the South Korean short track speed skating team. Even the Chinese team, which won the first gold medal, can’t compete with them for the headlines. The whole world is watching the excitement. South Korea The team already has a tradition of internal fighting, and now various conspiracy theories are emerging in an endless stream.

Therefore, the South Korean team urgently held a press conference.At first, everyone thought that they were going to find some excuse to show their innocence, either that their athlete was sick, or that she was wronged, and they wanted to file an appeal.

Unexpectedly, in front of reporters from all over the world, the head coach Huang Zaixian said that the doping was the athlete's own behavior and had nothing to do with the Korean national short track speed skating team. The coaching staff didn't know about it, and the other athletes were clean. Don't be implicated.

The word "clean" came from the South Korean team, especially Hwang Jae-hyun, which really made ice fans all over the world laugh.

Their single team can support more than half of the penalties in the short track speed skating arena, and this year even showed the first doping positive, how dare they say it clean?

South Korea is in trouble, and everyone praises it. Ice fans who love short track speed skating all over the world are carnival.In fact, athletes from various countries are also carnival in private, but because of their status, they are embarrassed to show it.

In the past two days, when Gu Ran and the others went to the Olympic Village restaurant for dinner, they saw the Korean players acting like thieves.At first, they were able to sit in the corner and bury their heads in cooking, but then they probably couldn't bear the strange stares of other people, so they simply packed up and took them back to the room to eat.

That Zhao Zhishuo happened to pass by Gu Ran, who looked up at him, eyes full of provocation and dissatisfaction.Gu Ran felt that his eyes looked like an aggressive wolf dog, and she bared her teeth and said to him, "I will definitely bite you to death!"
