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

Gu Ran went back to his teammate and sat down. Gao Ziyi handed him a bottle of mineral water. While twisting the bottle cap, he turned his head and looked towards the last row.

Chi Lang was standing up from his seat, Gu Ran thought he was going back to the H province area.Unexpectedly, this big stupid man found an open space and started to warm up, which attracted the attention of many girls in front.

Chi Dali still has a heavy idol burden, the more people look at him, the more he carries it.

Gu Ran couldn't help but scolded "bastard", and quickly turned her head around, not bothering to look at him.

After sitting in the stands for a while, the big screen showed that the men's 500-meter race had started to be checked, and then Gu Ran went down with Zheng Wenkang.

Four of them participated in the 500-meter race, and another teammate was eliminated in the preliminaries. Wu Kaize was also unexpectedly eliminated in the quarter-finals. Only Gu Ran and Zheng Wenkang made it to the semi-finals.

In the semi-finals, the two were not in the same group. Gu Ran was in the second group. In this group were Chi Lang, Ren Yongjie, and another player from Province L, No. 41.

Zheng Wenkang whispered in Gu Ran's ear: "It seems that Chi Dali is going to be in danger again."

"Not necessarily!" Gu Ran was still a little bit protective of Chi Lang, a silly son, and didn't want to hear others say that he was not good, even if his senior brother said he was not good.

Zheng Wenkang gave him an analysis: "With Ren Yongjie's strength, he must have advanced, and the rest are the three of you. Relatively speaking, you are stronger than the two of them."

"Chi Lang didn't make it to the 1000-meter final. He will definitely try his best to fight for the 500-meter race. I don't have the confidence to win him."

"Also, the No. 41 in Province L, he and Ren Yongjie are teammates, they will definitely have tactical cooperation, maybe it's me and Chi Lang who were eliminated."

Zheng Wenkang thought for a while: "You are right."

Gu Ran suddenly smiled and looked at him: "Brother, you should take care of yourself, the champion and runner-up in the first stop are all in the same group as you."

"..."

Zheng Wenkang made a Xizi holding a heart: "Stop talking, my legs are starting to weaken now."

Gu Ran patted him on the shoulder to comfort him: "Think about Mr. Xu's hidden smile and cruelty, maybe you will be motivated."

Following his description, Xu Qing's half-smile face really appeared in Zheng Wenkang's mind, and he couldn't help shivering, and said with a sad face, "The legs are getting weaker."

"..."

While they were chatting, the game started.Gu Ran pushed Zheng Wenkang: "Go quickly."

Gu Ran has lived under the same roof with him for more than half a year, and knows him very well.He has good explosive power, but also a little smart, afraid of suffering, and his ability to resist pressure was exposed in the game.

Especially in their group there are Liu Fei, Meng Yuqiao and He Yang. The latter two have to fight. If Zheng Wenkang wants to advance, he has to seize the opportunity for them to compete with each other and make mistakes.

At the beginning of the match, as Gu Ran expected, Meng Yuqiao and He Yang fought fiercely. I don't know why the two of them formed a dispute. It's up to you.

At this time, Chi Lang walked up to Gu Ran and said, "Your senior brother seems to be out of luck."

In the competition on the court, Liu Fei did his part to lead the skater, Meng Yuqiao and He Yang fought for each other in the middle, and Zheng Wenkang fell to the end.

The distance of the 500-meter race was short and the speed was fast. In the blink of an eye, two laps passed and halfway through the race, but the ranking did not change.

As Gu Ran said, if this continues, he will have little chance of reaching the finals.

Chi Lang glanced at Gu Ran, and found that his eyes did not fall on his senior brother, but kept staring at Meng Yuqiao instead.

He couldn't help but ask Gu Ran: "What are you looking at?"

Gu Ran raised her chin, Meng Yuqiao happened to pass the point closest to them, and it was time to enter the curve in the next moment: "Look at him."

Chi Lang frowned: "What's so good about him, I think the one from Province R this year can annoy him to death,"

Gu Ran said: "Look at his technique, it's very delicate."

Chi Lang was originally a rough person, he could only tell whether the speed was fast or not, and whether the route was reasonable or not. As for how delicate the technique was, it wasn't that he couldn't see it, but he just didn't think it was that important.

Gu Ran said: "What is the principle of skating? It is to take advantage of the low friction of the ice surface, and the skates slide quickly on it."

"Half of short-track speed skating is going through corners, and cornering technology is the core of this project. We need to use the gravity moment of body tilting to the left to balance the outward turning moment generated by centrifugal force when passing through corners at extreme speed."

Chi Lang scratched his head: "What example sentence, I don't understand. I only know that the bigger the angle of inclination, the easier it is to corner and the faster the speed."

Gu Rancai didn't care whether he could understand or not, and continued: "The greater the angle of inclination of the body, the greater the horizontal component of the skates acting on the ice surface, and the greater the horizontal component, the better the athletes will be. Great acceleration."

"But you also know that there is a critical point. If the angle of inclination of the skate is too large, the vertical component is not enough, and the friction force is not enough, it will easily slip out."

At this time, the game on the field happened to pass through a curve, and Gu Ran pointed at Meng Yuqiao: "Look at his skates, it should be just at that critical point, so that He Yang wants to get close to the curve Speed ​​towards him from the outer circle, with his strength, it's a bit difficult."

Chi Lang stood aside without saying a word, he seemed to understand, but he didn't understand anything, but this didn't prevent him from feeling that what Gu Ran said made sense.

At this point, there is one last lap left in the race, two corners.Zheng Wenkang also rushed up, forcing his way to a place very close to the two of them.

Three people passed the curve at the same time, and they were very crowded even at a high speed.Zheng Wenkang and He Yang were on the left and right, and Meng Yuqiao was caught between them.

This kind of situation is the most unfavorable to Meng Yuqiao. His physical fitness is not as good as the two people next to him, and he was flanked by others.

Seeing this scene, the audience couldn't help but sweat for him.Especially the members of the WE club, they don't have any outstanding athletes. It can be said that Meng Yuqiao is their hope.

When reminded of the fear, Meng Yuqiao stood out from the cracks and took the lead out of the corner!

Fortunately, the two were fighting independently and their ideas were not very unified, otherwise, he might have been out of the game.

Gu Ran laughed and said, "My senior brother insisted on fighting for a chance for himself."

Chi Lang said, "It may not be possible to advance."

At the last corner, Zheng Wenkang fought hard for the inner lane, Meng Yuqiao accelerated again in the corner, and He Yang, who was in the outer lane, was out of position and fell to fourth instead.

At the time of crossing the line, Zheng Wenkang stretched his legs forward vigorously, but in the end it was the faster Meng Yuqiao who crossed the finish line first with the tip of his skates.

Chi Lang predicted the result, and patted Gu Ran on the shoulder excitedly: "I'm not wrong."

"It's okay." Gu Ran pursed her lips, two dimples appeared on her face, "As long as my brother dares to go up and fight, he is already great."

Chi Lang looked at him with an unyielding look: "I dare too!"

Gu Ran tilted her head: "Come on!"

When the ice is being cleared on the rink, the second group of athletes line up outside according to the lanes, and then enter the ice rink together, which can save time.

Similarly, after the game is over, the referee will also blow his whistle. The first time is to announce the end of the game, and the players who have not completed the game will have no results.

The second time is that all athletes must exit the ice rink within 45 seconds after the whistle is blown.

Suddenly, someone patted Gu Ran on the shoulder from behind, and he guessed that it was Chi Dali, that idiot without looking back.

Chi Lang said in a low voice: "I must enter the final this time."

Although his voice was small, it was very firm.It does seem to be stimulated.

After all, he and Gu Ran are small players who grew up together from the U-series competition, and the two had similar results in the last competition, but this time, Gu Ran entered the 1000-meter final, but he did not.

After a month of hard training, he did not fail to make progress, but it was difficult for him to make good on the field. This made him hold his breath and urgently needed a victory to express it.

Gu Ran thought that as an athlete, he should have this competitive spirit.

Sure enough, Chi Dali needed to use all his strength after he entered the field. As soon as the referee called "Ready", he rushed out impatiently.

"..."

Chi Lang made a foul at the start and was warned by the referee once.

On the court, two people can only communicate with each other through eyes.

Gu Ran: "Idiot."

Chi Lang: "Win you!"

"..."

The game restarted, and when the starting gun fired, Chi Lang still rushed forward without his life. Gu Ran didn't dare to compete with him in that battle, for fear of being knocked out by him.

At the first corner, Chi Lang's pass was not good, but he just relied on his strong body and high explosive power to surpass Ren Yongjie to occupy the first position.

Ren Yongjie was second, another teammate of his was third, and Gu Ran was last.

After only one lap, Ren Yongjie overtook him. In terms of hard power, he was indeed the strongest in this group, and Chi Lang couldn't stop him.

Naturally, Chi Lang will not be reconciled, let alone shrink back just because the other party is a big boss.He continued to increase his kicking strength, trying to catch up and try to complete the overtake.

But the No. 41 from Province L in the back, in order to protect Ren Yongjie, also accelerated to follow, trying to put pressure on Chi Lang.

Gu Ran followed behind, seeing every detail of the three people in front of you.

He maintained a certain speed and followed the two of them closely, but he did not act rashly.

Because of No. 41's relentless pursuit, Chi Lang was entangled by him and could not continue to put pressure on Ren Yongjie. The latter slipped and looked more and more, and was already two or three positions ahead.

For him, there is no suspense to advance to the final.

When the race came to the third lap, No. 41 tried to overtake again. Chi Lang tried hard to hold on, firmly held his position, and forced him back.

The two of them gliding in front of Gu Ran, one inside and the other outside, tightly blocking the route. For a while, Gu Ran couldn't find a chance.

There was only one and a half laps left in the race, Gu Ran had to think of another way.

He is still physically strong now, and he can try to pass through the outside world.But heretics are also dangerous. The two people are very anxious, and they have actually had physical contact several times.The further they got to the back, the more they refused to accept each other, and it seemed that someone might fall down at any time.

If you go to outsiders to achieve transcendence, there is a risk of being taken down. If you don’t go, insiders will have no chance.

The problem was left to Gu Ran, who forced himself to calm down and analyze it carefully.

There are only a dozen seconds left in the game, and there is only a second or two before the next corner. In fact, he can't analyze anything.But based on his intuition, he told himself that he should take the inside path, he must go up from the inside path!

So, he obeyed his sixth sense, and started to pick up the knife continuously. He planned to go up the inner road and find a chance to pass these two people at once.

However, he just picked up his speed, and something happened in the corner ahead!

The auditorium was full of exclamations, especially the players from province H and province L stood up one after another.

I don't know which of these two people collided with whom. Anyway, No. 41, who was located further outside, flew out first.

Chi Lang still wanted to persevere, but his center of gravity was already off, his balance was broken, and he wobbled and fell down.

At this moment, the team members of Province J also stood up!Someone couldn't help shouting: "Little brother, be careful!!!"

At the same time, Gu Ran speeded up to catch up, and when she saw Chi Lang fall, she instinctively reached out her hand.

He didn't even think about the consequences of this, he didn't realize until he stretched his hand halfway, he wanted to help Chi Lang.

However, his own speed is also very fast. If he really goes to help Chilang, it is very likely that he will be brought along with him.

At this critical moment, Chi Lang dodged his hand, and after sliding on the ice for a while, he left the track and hit the crash pad next to him.

Everything happened in an instant, and Gu Ranren had already come out of the curve and came to the straight road.

In the last lap, only he and Ren Yongjie were left in the race.

And Ren Yongjie in front has already led him by a long distance.

Unexpectedly, Zheng Wenkang did not use the promotion method he had envisioned for Zheng Wenkang before the game, but he himself used it.

After crossing the finish line, there was a period of deceleration taxiing. Gu Ran looked back at the direction where No. 41 and Chi Lang fell just now.The two had already stood up, said something to each other, and were sliding towards the exit one after the other.

Where they fell, there were staff members holding tools to mend the ice.

The final results have not yet come out, and several athletes participating in the competition are waiting outside the ice rink.

No. 41 in Province L walked up to Chi Lang, smiled and said something to him, Chi Lang responded with a smile, the two raised their hands and clapped hands, and then No. 41 walked away.

What happens on the court stays on the court. As long as there is no malicious foul, they are all a group of speed skating teenagers with dreams. They are very familiar with each other, simple in heart, and have no deep hatred.

A bump on the field, a greeting off the field, and it's over.

At this time, Gu Ran also set up the skates and came over.

Chi Lang looked back to see him, performed a face-changing scene for a second, and said fiercely: "Why did you reach out your hand just now, what are you doing?"

Gu Ran opened her mouth, and the words "I want to help you" were temporarily replaced by: "I want to push you away so that you don't get in the way."

"Nonsense," Chi Lang leaned over shamelessly, "You want to help me, but fortunately I react quickly, otherwise you will be taken away by me."

Gu Ran told the truth: "Subconsciously, reason really didn't want to help you."

Hearing this, Chi Lang's heart was broken: "The boat of friendship is destroyed."

Gu Ranbai gave him a two-word evaluation: "Illiterate."

The two of them quarreled here for a long time, and the final results of this group came out: Ren Yongjie and Gu Ran's names were followed by the letter Q, Chi Lang was ADV, and number 41 was PEN.

Seeing this result, Province H immediately burst into cheers.

Gu Ran bumped Chi Lang with her elbow: "It seems that you are very popular."

Chi Lang moved one eyebrow proudly: "That must be."

Q stands for advancement, PEN stands for foul, and ADV stands for sentencing to the next round.

No. 41 was sentenced to a collision foul and the result was cancelled.When the two sides collided, Chi Lang was in second place and was sent to the final by the referee.

Chi Dali was happy now, and he turned around and waved to his teammates.She turned her head and said to Gu Ran, "See you in the final." She ran away for a while.

Gu Ran walked to the coach command area on the side, Xu Qing looked at him from afar, and only asked when he got closer, "I'm curious, what did you think at that time?"

Gu Ran thought he was asking the teacher for a crime, so she honestly replied: "I really stretched out my hand subconsciously at the time, without thinking too much. I realized it when I stretched out my hand halfway, but it was too fast, and I couldn't take it back. .”

Director Wang on the side quickly said: "Fortunately, it's okay, Chi Lang is also loyal enough, so he avoided it by himself."

Xu Qing said, "That's not what I asked."

"what?"

Not only Gu Ran was surprised, but even Director Wang who was beside him was also a little surprised.

Xu Qing put one hand on the crash pad: "I mean, why did you choose the inside path?"
