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

After successfully overtaking the Canadian player, Gu Ran immediately chose to slow down, allowing Lin Jiaxi to smoothly merge into the inner lane in front of him and start leading the slide.

As for himself, he focused on dealing with the five opponents behind him.It doesn't matter whether they are Canadians or Koreans.

In the last lap, he would not allow anyone a chance to pose a threat to Lin Jiaxi.

With the last lap left in the race, the competition among the players became more intense and tense.According to the experience of the previous few game days, every time this is the time when Chi Lang is most excited.

He was always a chatterbox, and often forgot where he was and what tasks he had, so he gave a very passionate and immersive commentary, which made the host on the side unable to get in the way.

Some viewers even edited his impromptu commentary, from the beginning to the end, "Gu Ran is on the list!" "Gu Ran is so handsome!" "Gu Ran is invincible!"

"..."

The whole story is full of Gu Ran, Gu Ran, Gu Ran, it sounds very ghostly and magical, it is simply the latest brainwashing divine comedy.

However, when Gu Ran slowed down, Chi Lang suddenly fell silent and sat there without saying a word.

There was obviously only the last lap left in the race, and the Chinese team had a high probability of winning the championship. It was the most exciting and passionate moment, and he stopped talking!

He didn't speak, and the host on the side could only explain enthusiastically: "Now Lin Jiaxi is in the first place, and Gu Ran is behind him. Both of them are declining in physical fitness, especially Gu Ran, who has reached his limit."

"Behind them, the Canadian players who had just been overtaken did not give up and were still trying to find ways to overtake."

"As soon as we entered the corner, the Korean players also came up."

"Gu Ran has to deal with two people by himself, and it's still a little hard for him to be physically exhausted...be careful!!!"

The host suddenly turned up the volume, and the hearts of the audience watching the live broadcast twitched.On the field, the South Korean player tried to overtake Gu Ran in the inner lane, and bumped him while swinging his arm.

Gu Ran's physical strength is running low, and he doesn't have the strength to control his body. When gliding at high speed, even a trivial touch may cause him to lose his balance and fall off the track.

On the outside, the Canadian player keenly caught this information, and decisively added two swords, trying to take advantage of this time to overtake Gu Ran.

Gu Ran looked at the back of Lin Jiaxi in front of him. After passing this corner, there was only the last corner left in the race. If he fell at this time, Lin Jiaxi might not be able to survive the next corner.

He staggered a step, but he managed to use all his strength to keep himself from falling.At the same time, he also slashed hard, and just when the Canadian player thought he was about to successfully overtake, Gu Ran's figure swept past him again and overtook him back.

"!!!"

Seeing this scene, the emotions of the audience were pushed to the top, and screams sounded from all around at the same time, flooding the entire skating hall.

Chi Lang still sat in the studio without saying a word, his hands on the table were clenched into fists.

There is still the last half lap left in the race. At this time, Lin Jiaxi can no longer feel everything around him. His heartbeat is getting faster and faster...

He knew that Gu Ran was right behind him, using all his strength to protect him.

He is about to win his first Olympic gold medal in an individual event in his career. For this moment, he has devoted more than 20 years of hard work and persistence.

At this moment, he had mixed feelings in his heart.Because of Gu Ran, he never thought that he could win the championship.The tactical arrangement before the match was also that he would support Gu Ran and help him win the championship.

However, the result of the game was just the opposite.

He couldn't express his current mood in words, his mind was full of Gu Ran's appearance, and he seemed to hear Gu Ran shouting to him, panting heavily, shouting hoarsely: "Quick! Jiaxi, hurry up !"

This is not an illusion, Gu Ran is right behind him, helping him block all threats.

"At the last moment, hold on!"

Even at this time, Chi Lang still didn't say a word, but his eyes were gradually turning red.

The host's voice gradually became louder: "We won! We won! Lin Jiaxi crossed the finish line first! The two veterans of the Chinese team, well done! Gu Ran..."

When Gu Ran's name was called, his voice stopped abruptly, and he didn't say the following words.

Everyone vaguely sensed what he wanted to say, but it seemed like he didn't.

On the coaching bench of the Chinese team, Cheng Sen and Xu Qing watched the last lap almost holding their breath.It wasn't until Lin Jiaxi and Gu Ran crossed the finish line at the same time that they looked at each other in unison, exchanged glances, let out a deep breath, hugged each other tightly, and patted each other heavily on the back twice.

At the moment when she crossed the finish line, Lin Jiaxi felt that her eyes were blurred.Not only was his eyes blurred, but his mind was also blurred.

He couldn't hear what the audience shouted clearly, and he didn't raise his hands excitedly in celebration. He just anxiously hoped that his speed would slow down quickly.

When he turned his head, Gu Ran was not far from him, and gradually slid to the sidelines, stopping in front of the Chinese coach's bench.

He took off his goggles and helmet, his hair wet with sweat and pressed against his forehead.As soon as he turned around, before he breathed out from his chest, he felt something bump into his arms - it was Lin Jiaxi.

He also took off his helmet and goggles, and still on the crash pad, he hugged Gu Ran's waist tightly, strangling him a little out of breath.

The body in his arms was trembling uncontrollably, and soon, Gu Ran felt his shoulders were wet.

In fact, Lin Jiaxi cried very loudly, but the scene was too noisy, he buried his face on Gu Ran's shoulder, so no one else could hear him.

Gu Ran smiled in his ear: "Calm down, the results haven't come out yet, maybe at the last moment, I will cross the finish line before you."

"..."

After a long while, Lin Jiaxi's muffled voice reached his ears: "Then why don't I cry even louder?"

Gu Ran's hand that was patting his back moved to the back of his head, and pressed his head on her shoulder: "Look, I told you when I came here, I want to see you cry in the rain."

As expected, Lin Jiaxi cried even louder.

Gu Ran leaned back on the crash pad to support the full weight of the two of them: "It's almost enough, everyone is looking at us."

"Let them see."

"It will be on the hot search in a while."

"let's go."

"The two coaches are still waiting."

"Let them wait."

"Speaking of which..." Gu Ran raised her head and glanced at the big screen, "It's already this time, why haven't the final results come out yet?"

When Lin Jiaxi raised her head, she even rubbed her eyes on his one-piece suit, but the material imitating dolphin skin not only reduces wind resistance, but also does not get wet.When he raised his head, there were still wet tears on his face, Gu Ran hurriedly wiped it off with his hand.

"Say..." Someone cleared their throats behind them, and the two of them turned their heads. Cheng Sen looked at them with a look of "no sight", "It's almost enough, the public's attention will affect you, if you get tired of it, you can go back casually." How tired of you two are you?"

Gu Ran looked at him, and snorted meaningfully: "That's not as greasy as you two, who are inseparable all day long."

Cheng Sen glared at him: "You are the only one with a long mouth."

On the other side, Xu Qing had already embraced Lin Jiaxi, and the two of them were whispering to each other, but they didn't know what they said, and Lin Jiaxi burst into tears again.

Meng Yuqiao on the side kept staring at the big screen, and frowned after staring at it: "Did you wait too long?"

Gao Ziyi also said: "It's really been too long, and I didn't wait so long for the relay race."

As soon as he said that, everyone started to get nervous again.The other teams also frequently looked towards the referee, and the audience in the stands began to whisper.

At this time, everyone noticed that other members of the referee team also came to the computer, and the referee was communicating with one of them.

Cheng Sen frowned: "This is..."

Gu Ran said, "This is the finish line referee."

Gao Ziyi was a little puzzled: "There should be no violation of the rules when crossing the line. In the audience, the Korean player had two physical contacts with Xiao Ran."

Meng Yuqiao shook her head: "It is impossible to punish Xiaoran."

Xu Qing said, "That's not something the finish line referee should be in charge of."

The waiting time is getting longer and longer, not only the players and their coaches, but even the audience are waiting anxiously.

In the studio, Chi Lang had already burst into tears, and suddenly choked up and said: "Gu Xiaoran is the greatest short track speed skater in the world, bar none."

When he opened his mouth, the host and staff next to him were startled.He has a cropped head, strong muscles, and sharp facial features. Whether it is on the field or in the show, he is a strong figure, and he has a very tough image.

How could he know that his emotions are so delicate, watching his teammates win the championship through the screen can make him cry, and he can't stop crying so violently.

The staff quickly handed over the tissue and gestured for him to calm down.

But Chi Lang shouted: "The results are out!"

Everyone looked up at the big screen in unison. No.1: Lin Jiaxi, with a score of 2:09.Immediately afterwards, there was still a five-star red flag below, the name was Gu Ran, and the score was also 232 minutes 2 seconds 09.

"!!!"

"Ah!!! Tied for first place!!! Xiaoran and Jiaxi tied for first place." Wiping away his tears, Chi Dali started his self-congratulatory commentary again, "I have never seen a short-track speed skating competition. This is the first time that there is a tie for first place!"

Not only him, almost everyone is doubting their eyes, because they have never seen it.

So, some people blinked, and some even rubbed their eyes with their hands before looking at the results on the big screen.

That's right, Gu Ran and Lin Jiaxi's grades are exactly the same, and the Arabic numeral "1" is also displayed in the top ranking column.

Seeing this result, Lin Jiaxi laughed through tears, threw herself into Gu Ran's arms again, hugged his neck tightly, said "baji" in his face involuntarily, and leaned into his ear and shouted: "Xiaoran, I love you so much!"

This result was also unexpected by Gu Ran. He kept staring at the big screen, with a hint of surprise in his calmness, and watched the two people's results over and over for a long time, and finally a sentence floated in his mind: "Some things happen in the dark." There are arrangements."

Behind them, Cheng Sen and Xu Qing looked at each other again, and each understood the emotion the other wanted to express.

The scene of the game just now was being played repeatedly on the big screen, especially the moment when all the athletes crossed the line.

The Canadian player rushed up from the side, and was about to stand shoulder to shoulder with Lin Jiaxi, and the Korean player also slid towards the finish line from the other side.

The gap between several players was very small, and the championship was still in suspense until the last moment of the game.

In order to ensure that the Chinese team wins the championship, Gu Ran is also doing his best to stretch his legs forward.But at the last moment when the tip of his knife was about to slide past the key point, there was an imperceptible small movement on his leg.

Even under the slow motion of high-definition close-up, this movement is not obvious, and no one noticed it during the game.

Perhaps, this was just a momentary thought, an instinctive reaction of his body, but it created a miracle unintentionally.
