Return to the top of the road to champions

On February 1998, 2, at ten o'clock in the morning, Tao Wei, who rested for half the morning, rushed to the main venue not far from the Olympic Village, where there will be a short track speed skating 11-meter preliminaries today.

Wan Xiaodong, who represented the national team in the short track 500, will hit the semi-finals today. Tao Wei, who walked for nearly 10 minutes to the main venue, came to the athlete zone from the athlete passage. The crowded main venue was full of noise.

"Tao Wei, Tao Wei, this way."

Gao Jian's shout made Tao Wei smile, and he turned his eyes away and walked quickly to the position belonging to the Chinese team. After passing through the crowd, Tao Wei, who was sitting next to Gao Jian, took the water bottle handed by Gao Jian, "Why are you here so early? ?”

Gao Jian, who rubbed his scalp, pointed to Yang Xiangle next to him, "The game will start in the afternoon, and Xiang Le said it to relax. We are not familiar with this, so we came to the gymnasium."

Glancing at Yang Xiangle, who was still calm on the outside but restless in his brows, Tao Wei paused, took a picture of Gao Jian and Gao Jian changed places, sat next to Yang Xiangle and touched Yang Xiangle, "I'm nervous .”

The soft question made Yang Xiangle, who had been tense all the time, froze for a moment, and then Yang Xiangle, who slowly relaxed, gave a wry smile and rubbed his face vigorously, "Well, I'm afraid there is nothing better."

In a slightly deep voice, uneasiness and anxiety came clearly, and he shook his head with a low smile, "You have to have this process, it will be fine slowly, when I participated in the competition for the first time, I even didn't know It's time to step that leg."

With a self-deprecating laugh, Yang Xiangle's surprised eyes aroused, and he looked up and down Tao Wei with a calm face, "Are you nervous?"

The surprised voice made Tao Wei laugh, "Why don't I get nervous, I'm not a superman."

Staring blankly at Tao Wei with a smile on his face, thinking that Tao Wei is two years younger than himself, although he has participated in several competitions, it is still the first time he has truly entered the Winter Olympics as an official athlete This time, Yang Xiangle suddenly realized, hehe laughter came out of Yang Xiangle's mouth, as if he had company, Yang Xiangle's restlessness gradually disappeared.

At 500:[-], Wan Xiaodong, who represented the Chinese team in the [-]-meter short-track speed skating preliminaries, appeared on the stage. The people sitting in the front row suddenly stopped chatting, and their eyes full of expectations fell on Wan Xiaodong who was standing in the third lane. Dong body.

After a short wait, the name of China Wan Xiaodong sounded from the surround sound speakers. Seeing Wan Xiaodong, who was steady and generous, raised his hand with a smile on his face, Tao Wei’s eyes flashed with a sigh. The silly brother who is always crazy in the arena has grown to such a degree without knowing it.

For the semi-finals, Tao Wei is not worried. After two years of careful training by Shi Yang, Wan Xiaodong, who already has the ability to hit medals, is a standard on-the-spot player. Wan Xiaodong is likely to become the second medalist in men's short track speed skating after the upcoming 94 Winter Olympics.

Under Yin Yin's gaze, Wan Xiaodong, who was standing on the track, bent his knees and settled his posture. A pair of shining eyes were fixed on the track in front of him. The heartbeat of Wan Xiaodong's eyes was beating violently unconsciously. The raging flames made Shi Yang's eyes flicker while standing on the coach's bench, and the corners of Shi Yang's mouth rose slightly, knowing that the little tiger had changed his mind.

One minute later, the preparatory gunfire finally rang out. Wan Xiaodong, who had endured two years of waiting, rushed out of the track like a bolt of lightning at the moment the gunshot rang out, and his wanton murderous aura reached its peak in an instant. With powerful arms and strong legs stretched tightly, the astonishing speed of the murderous Wan Xiaodong immediately attracted the attention of the audience.

Standing on the sidelines of the track to watch the game, coaches and athletes from all over the world gasped. The astonishing Wan Xiaodong's murderous eyes stared at the front with terrifying focus, as if it was just a blink of an eye, pressing down the road. Wan Xiaodong, who was turning the corner, had already rushed to the first place.

"Okay, so fast."

At this time, Gao Jian, who was sitting in the athlete's zone, stared blankly at the amazingly fast Wan Xiaodong, and murmured unconsciously. Even Tao Wei, who thought he knew Wan Xiaodong, was a little dumbfounded. Dong is very talented, and he knew that under Shi Yang's training, Wan Xiaodong would definitely grow amazingly, but knowing it is one thing and seeing it is another. He never thought that Wan Xiaodong would grow to such an extent. Tao Wei's face was full of joy at the moment when he came back to his senses.

But at this time, Wan Xiaodong in the arena became more and more fierce, with amazing speed, terrifying gaze, and high fighting spirit. In the lines, something called "Olympic champion" slowly swept over everyone's hearts, impacting and impacting, as if wanting to overturn the mountain that was always pressing in the hearts of the Chinese people, as if wanting to use the impact to tear apart the obstacles in front of them. Standing in the way, as the distance continued to shorten, Wan Xiaodong, who became more and more imposing, showed his shocking explosive power hidden under his strength.

Tighten his facial features, wave his arms vigorously, three laps, four laps, the finish line is in front of him, victory is at his feet, with unknown agitation, Wan Xiaodong rushed to the key point as the No.1 of the group, swiped, and instantly The figure flashing in front of him took a chill, pressed the second hand, 42 seconds 067, looked at the stopwatch in his hand in disbelief, then looked up at Wan Xiaodong who still couldn't quell the fire in his chest, his chest heaved violently, his gaze Wan Xiaodong, who turned to the coach's bench, saw Shi Yang and Shi Yang's raised thumb.

The heavy breathing passed through the nose, and the violent heartbeat thumped in the eardrum, but the simple and honest smile had already appeared on Wan Xiaodong's face.

Slowly approaching Shi Yang, the undiminished excitement in his eyes made Shi Yang smile, stretched out his big hand to wipe the sweat from Wan Xiaodong's forehead, the admiration and joy in Shi Yang's silent eyes made Wan Xiaodong suddenly understand his eyes The smile on Xiaodong's face deepened, and the bright smile was deeply imprinted in Shi Yang's heart and in the eyes of the athletes watching the match.

They looked at each other, the shock and lingering fear in their eyes could not be restrained. From this moment, everyone remembered this short track speed skater Wan Xiaodong from China and from the East.

Wan Xiaodong undisputedly entered the semi-finals with the No.1 score in the group stage, and walked off the field. The flushed Wan Xiaodong saw the eyes full of blessings and rewards, and suddenly laughed hahaha, proud He raised his head and pointed to his round, fleshy face, "How about it, I'm good."

Accompanied by the loud laughter, the shock brought by Wan Xiaodong at the last moment disappeared under the innocent smile. In the burst of laughter, Wan Xiaodong, whose head was held down by someone, yelled, Laughter and noise suddenly swept the entire athlete zone.

With tenderness in his eyes, he stood silently watching Wan Xiaodong who was rubbed back and forth, and the smile on Shi Yang's chest-puffing face became more and more gentle.

"I said, how did you train your kid? How did you train a stupid child into a little tiger who eats people?"

The sound of tsk tsk sounded in my ears, and I coughed lightly. The gentleness on my face disappeared, and a reserved smile emerged. I glanced at Chen Fei who was standing beside me with joyful eyes. Shi Yang, who stretched out his finger, hooked his finger, When Fade Chen approached, he moved his lower lips, "Secret."

The voice that was not deliberately lowered made the smile on Fade Chen's face stiffen, and the coaches next to him burst into laughter. Their envious eyes fell on Shi Yang, whether they were envious of Shi Yang's good luck or regretted that he hadn't discovered a genius. Wan Xiaodong, but at this moment, the coaches who have seen Wan Xiaodong on the scene all understand that Wan Xiaodong does have the strength to hit the medal.

At this moment, no one dares to think deeply about how young Wan Xiaodong will grow in the future, not because he is afraid of not meeting expectations, but because he is afraid of surpassing.

Time slides slowly. At one o'clock in the afternoon, Tao Wei's competition is about to start. Tao Wei, who walked into the backstage this time, still maintains the original freshness and naturalness. The simple rather than chic competition suit fits the slender limbs, no sequins, no Tassels, not even those decorative flowers, fresh and natural Tao Wei's quiet facial features, and peaceful eyes faintly carry something called "quietness".

Walking to the position belonging to the Chinese team, he took off his unzipped red tracksuit. Tao Wei, who was all in black, put down the backpack in his hand, stood up, and prepared to warm up.

A pair of probing or contemptuous gazes were left behind by Tao Wei. Behind him were Yang Guocheng, his assistant Pei Xin, Yang Xiangle next to him, and Ma Deming in front. The team of five seemed a bit depressed, but Norman standing in front knew that , whatever you see is an illusion.

After waiting for a year, seeing Tao Wei again, Norman had a faint anticipation in his heart. He didn't know what kind of surprise this child from the East would bring to the world this time.

In anticipation, the short program officially started without any suspense. No. 11 Tao Wei silently waited for the start of the game. It is hard to say the best or the order of appearance. As long as the short program completes a series of actions according to the regulations, it will not be too big. difference.

After all, everyone knows that the short program pays more attention to the basics, and for figure skating, which needs long-term training, to be able to come to the Olympic Games, as long as there are no accidents, the prescribed movements of the short program cannot widen the gap between the two .

The real highlight will be the free skating tomorrow, when the competition will be fierce. Tao Wei, who is warming up while watching the live broadcast, stretches every part of his body meticulously. Tao Wei, who warms up for an hour, never cut corners in this task.

In the blink of an eye, the short program of 2 minutes and 40 seconds, the repertoire selected by Tao Wei is an excerpt from the "Moonlight Sonata" performed by the China Symphony Orchestra. The Moonlight Sonata composed by Beethoven has appeared many times, and Tao Wei chose the Moonlight Sonata. have no choice.

In the short program of 2 minutes and 40 seconds, because it is stipulated that within the time limit of 2 minutes and 40 seconds, athletes must complete a set of 8 actions and connecting steps of jumping, rotation, joint jumping and joint rotation. The action is only allowed to appear once, and the time, steps, jumps and rotations come down in a series, and the range that can be selected from the Chinese local repertoire is too small.

After a long wait, it was finally Tao Wei's turn to play. Standing on the sidelines, Ma Deming patted Tao Wei's back hard, "Come on!"

Tao Wei, who smiled a bit, immediately entered the stage. In the surround sound, Tao Wei's name appeared in the ears of the audience. Tao Wei nodded slightly, signaling the beginning of the music. At the moment the music sounded, the opening was three weeks after the hook Triple axel on the outside.

Tao Wei won a round of applause for his high and floating jumps and steady ice falls. Tao Wei, who danced to the music, slid on the beat, and the flexible Bellman twirled. The standard was not like a grown man at all. , and the subsequent three weeks of ice-pointing in the back were perfectly connected without any flaws. The music flowed slowly, and the jumps and continuous steps that blended in with the music constantly stimulated everyone's attention.

The high and floating jump like a textbook, the steady ice fall, the fusion of speed, strength and soft dance perfectly interpret the deep meaning of the Moonlight Sonata. Under the fluorescent lamp, Tao Wei, dressed in black, is like a ray of clear moonlight pouring down, Silently expressing the deep attachment with body language, Tao Wei's motionless figure, who had finished the short program in three and a half weeks, made the coaches and athletes standing on the sidelines look dignified.

Tao Wei, who couldn't find any flaws in the prescribed movements of 2 minutes and 40 seconds, cheered again after Yaguding and Couric, bowed and knelt, and after expressing encouragement to the audience, Tao Wei left.

In the deep exploration, Tao Wei, who came back to Ma Deming, showed a smile on his face, and then his eyes fell on Yang Xiangle. The smile on Tao Wei's face deepened, and Yang Xiangle, the No.

While waiting silently, Yang Xiangle was about to enter the stage, and stretched out his fist. Tao Wei, who fell in Yang Xiangle's eyes, twitched the corner of his mouth and showed a bright smile. Like Tao Wei, Ma Deming patted Yang Xiangle on the back heavily and watched Yang Xiangle enter the stage.

It is also from Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, but it is slightly looser than Tao Wei. The Moonlight Sonata from the first movement is performed by the calm and atmospheric Yang Xiangle, which is more heavy. Although it is not as amazing as Tao Wei, it has the same standard movements. Except for a slight flaw due to the height problem when connecting the 33 consecutive jumps, Yang Xiangle still completed the whole set of movements in accordance with the regulations without any merit.

The moment he saw Yang Xiangle walking down the ice rink, the wrinkles on Ma Deming's face were squeezed together because of excitement, and his big hand landed on the back of Yang Xiangle, who was also smiling, "Good job."

Yang Xiangle, who was smiling, made Tao Wei who was standing beside him laugh with a silly smile. The ranking has come out. Among the 13 players who appeared, Tao Wei ranked fifth. The results are not good, but there are The possibility of winning a medal made Ma Deming even more excited.

The nearly two-hour game finally ended at 15:[-]. Tao Wei's ranking did not drop, and remained in the fifth position, while Yang Xiangle had slipped from the eighth position to No.[-]. Although the score dropped a bit, But it was also expected, even Yang Xiangle knew that the athletes who played later were indeed better than him in terms of movements.

Without too much entanglement, the game ended, and the group left the main venue to prepare for the next day's game.
