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

In recent decades, no one has ever seen a tie for first place in short track speed skating. The audience, coaches and athletes of each representative team are discussing this matter.

The referee team was also discussing repeatedly, and the referee also came to the coaching bench of the Chinese team to chat with the two coaches.

He has repeatedly confirmed it many times, and even checked the performance of the electronic timing system to confirm that there is no problem. The results of the two are exactly the same, and they are tied for first place.

Ever since Lin Jiaxi knew that she had won the championship, she had been in a very emotional state.Although the tears did not flow, but the eyes were still red, Gu Ran joked that he looked like a rabbit.

Lin Jiaxi has been sticking to Gu Ran since the end of the game. He will go wherever the other party goes. The two of them will go to the urine test together, go to the stage to receive souvenirs together, go to the locker room to change clothes together, and go to the press room for interviews together.

Lin Jiaxi was still immersed in the joy of winning the championship, as if in a trance, as if she was having a sweet dream, immersed in it, unwilling to wake up.

When the reporter asked him a question, he had to be dazed for a while before he could react.Fortunately, there was Gu Ran sitting next to him. He had dealt with reporters too many times, and his answers to questions were both melodramatic and topical, and he was very popular among media friends.

After the press conference, when the whole team returned to the Winter Olympic Village, Lin Jiaxi sat next to Gu Ran after boarding the car, and Gao Ziyi and Meng Yuqiao sat in front of them.

Along the way, everyone is talking about the tie for the championship, which is simply unbelievable.Originally, in the event of short track speed skating, the probability of being tied for the championship was already very small. The two were still teammates. Anyway, in their memory, such a thing had never happened before.

Gu Ran won the gold medal at the Winter Olympics, not to mention himself, other people have gotten used to it, so everyone just congratulated him like a formality.

But Lin Jiaxi was different.In the past 12 years, in the four Winter Olympics, he is the first, and most likely the only one who can win the individual event championship under the dynasty ruled by Gu Ran.

So everyone is keen to ridicule him in various ways, saying that he is the No. 1 short track speed skating in these years, except for Gu Ran, the god who stands in the sky.

Lin Jiaxi didn't say anything, just smiled at everyone, and then looked at Gu Ran with wet eyes like a deer.

After an intense game, and it was too late, it was time for him to sleep.Not long after getting in the car, he leaned back in the chair and fell asleep.

Such a thing as being so excited to stay up all night after winning the championship will never happen to Gu Ran.

However, he woke up very early today. He woke up as soon as the bus stopped at the door of the apartment building.

When returning to the room, Gao Ziyi asked him for him alone: ​​"Xiao Ran, did you do it on purpose when you crossed the finish line at the end?"

"What?" Gu Ran looked up at him, "You mean..."

"Deliberately slow down."

Gu Ran raised her eyebrows: "Obviously?"

"No," Gao Ziyi shook his head, "It's not obvious, and few people should be able to see it."

"But brother, you can see it."

Gao Ziyi shrugged, and asked again: "In order to win the championship with Jiaxi?"

"Hahaha..." Gu Ran couldn't help but burst out laughing, "How is it possible, how can I be so amazing that I can be accurate to a thousandth of a second."

Gao Ziyi nodded knowingly and said nothing.

It was Gu Ran who said, "Brother, don't mention this matter again."

Gao Ziyi nodded: "Okay."

Their senior brother for more than ten years, when he said not to mention this matter again, Gao Ziyi understood what he meant.

Anyone could see how happy Lin Jiaxi was to get this gold medal. He was on the phone with his family as soon as he came back. A man in his thirties had shed countless tears in one night.

This gold medal meant too much to him. At that moment, no matter what the reason was, Gu Ran had the instinct to slow down.

He wanted to fulfill Lin Jiaxi, but by mistake, he also fulfilled himself.

It is not difficult to imagine how complicated Gu Ran's mood was at that time, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it with mixed feelings.I want to fulfill my brother, but also take care of his self-esteem, as well as my suppressed desire for gold medals.

The final result is unexpected, but also the most perfect.Therefore, at that moment, no matter how many complicated and intertwined thoughts popped up in his mind, it was no longer important, and he didn't want to mention it again, let alone be noticed by Lin Jiaxi.

Gu Ran took off her clothes and was about to lie down on the bed when there was a knock on the door.

Lin Jiaxi walked in holding his pillow: "Xiaoran, can I..."

"Ah???" Gu Ran patted the bed he was sleeping on, and smiled kindly, "The bed is too narrow, or you can come to sleep after you return to China."

Gao Ziyi on the side almost died of laughter: "Shall I make room for the two of you?"

Lin Jiaxi backed out of the door again: "Okay, then wait until we return to China." After finishing speaking, he closed the door behind him.

Gao Ziyi and Gu Ran looked at each other and said with a smile, "He just looks stupid, but he's actually quite smart."

Gu Ran lay down and dragged her past life: "He also looks quite smart."

Because of the time difference, their game is in the evening, and it is afternoon in China.The moment the two decided to tie for the first place, they quickly climbed to the top of the hot search list on all major platforms.

"My God! I've seen them tie for championship in swimming and track and field, but I've never seen short track speed skating."

"One millisecond is hundreds of times faster than the blinking of an eye, and both of them can produce exactly the same results. This fate is simply destined. I suggest that they be together."

"After the match, the two hugged each other for at least 2 minutes. Lin Jiaxi cried so hard that he couldn't breathe. Gu Ran kept comforting him. The relationship between them doesn't matter if they're together or not."

"Yes, yes, Lin Jiaxi kissed Gu Ran when the results came out. Chi Lang in the commentary was jealous, and told his old teammates to let go of Gu Xiaoran and let him go."

"Although the tie for first place was dramatic, Gu Ran moved me the most. From the beginning to the end, he put himself in the position of assisting his teammates. I even felt that at the final moment of crossing the line, he was helping Lin Jiaxi. "

"It's so touching, I will always like Xiaoran, forever!"

"..."

The next day, Dr. Lin gave Gu Ran a physical examination. The problem was still the persistent muscle fatigue, but compared to the previous two days, she was in much better condition.

Gu Ran doesn't care much about this issue now, anyway, there are still two games left in the game, no matter what state he is in.

Dr. Lin appreciates his open-minded attitude, but there is no shortage of physiotherapy.

When the needle was inserted, Gu Ran frowned as if trying her best to bear it.Doctor Lin glanced at him and said with a smile, "If you can't bear it, you can call out."

Gu Ran said, "I was just thinking about a question."

"what is the problem?"

"Strictly speaking, you are not a member of our team, but you have not signed any contract with us. How will you settle your salary these days?"

Dr. Lin smiled and said, "I don't charge money."

"That won't work!" Gu Ran thought for a while, "You are treating my wounds, and I should bear the reward."

Doctor Lin still smiled gently: "Do you think I'm short of money?"

"No shortage."

"That's incredible."

In the evening, the whole team accompanied Gu Ran and Lin Jiaxi to the awards square to receive the awards.

Before the awards ceremony started, Lin Jiaxi sat in front of the podium, staring at the stage and giggling.

Gu Ran stretched out her hand to pull him, but after pulling twice, she didn't pull him up.Lin Jiaxi was still sitting there, holding her face in her hands, staring at the podium.

"As for it? It's not like I haven't won a championship before."

"Different."

For so many years, they have followed Gu Ran and won many gold medals, but they were all relay races.

Gu Ran often said that the individual race is an ideal, and the relay race is a responsibility.Responsibility is more important than ideal.

However, after fulfilling their responsibilities, who doesn't want to realize their ideals?

Not everyone is Gu Ran, who has the talent to reach the peak when he debuts like him.Even if many people have talent, they have to work hard year after year.

Efforts may not be successful, once successful, the kind of joy is enough to overwhelm people.

Gu Ran simply bent down, put her hands under his armpits, and hugged him up: "Go, change clothes with me."

Because it is tied for the first place, there is no No.2, only the Canadian player took the No.3.

When their names were called together on the radio, Gu Ran took Lin Jiaxi's hand, and the two of them stood on the highest podium together.

When the national flag was raised and the national anthem was played, Lin Jiaxi's tears were never heard.After the three contestants took a group photo and came down from the podium, he suddenly grabbed Gu Ran's hand: "When I was young, I had two wishes. The first was to represent the Chinese team in the Winter Olympics, and the second was to represent the Chinese team in the Winter Olympics. It’s about winning the Olympic title.”

Gu Ran put an arm around his shoulder: "Didn't this wish come true more than ten years ago?"

Lin Jiaxi looked at the gold medal hanging around his neck: "That's right. But until today, I feel that I have truly realized my childhood wish."

Gu Ran said: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault. The long career life has killed too many people's Winter Olympics dreams."

Lin Jiaxi shook her head: "I don't know about others. Without you, I wouldn't be able to realize my dream."

Xu Qing, who was in front, turned around and urged, "Don't dawdle, you two, get in the car quickly, it's really cold outside."

When returning home, Gu Ran called her parents.For other people's children to participate in the Winter Olympics, the whole family must gather around the TV to watch the competition.

Unlike their family, Gu Ran's Olympic champions can't be counted with two hands, and it would be big news if he didn't win the championship.

Xu Mei didn't mention the gold medal to him, so she just asked, "You look tired."

Gu Ran said with a smile: "After all, I'm over 30 years old. I compete with those athletes who are in their prime. I can't beat them if I don't work hard."

Xu Mei asked again: "Aren't you injured?"

"No, don't worry."

Xu Mei said: "You have won enough gold medals, don't work too hard."

"I'm not working hard for myself."

Xu Mei sighed helplessly: "You child will always put responsibility first."

Before Gu Ran could speak, he picked up the phone again.Gu Changfeng's first question was: "Son, are you having fun in Switzerland?"

"I'm here to compete, not to travel."

Gu Changfeng said: "Didn't Dad tell you? Don't be burdened by thoughts, let alone pressure. The most important thing is to relax and have fun."

"That's... quite happy."

Gu Changfeng said, "Just be happy."

Gu Ran suddenly remembered something: "I noticed the arbitration camera system in the venue, you are also a supplier, why didn't you come over in person?"

Gu Changfeng chuckled lightly: "There is a person in charge over there, is this trivial matter worth my visit?"

"Hey! Mr. Gu's business is getting bigger and bigger now."

"That's right, when does Mr. Gu plan to come back to take over?"

Gu Ran raised her forehead: "I'm too busy, I wear several jobs."

Gu Changfeng sighed: "Father is old, and will retire in a few years."

"I am optimistic about you until you are 80 years old."

"Stinky boy."

On the second night, two gold medals will be produced.Women's 1000 meters and men's 500 meters.

This is the last men's individual gold medal in short track speed skating at this Winter Olympics, and it has always been Gu Ran's strength. He has no reason to let anyone take this gold medal away from him.

Before leaving for the skating hall, Dr. Lin checked Gu Ran's physical condition again: "How do you feel?"

Gu Ran said: "I can't say the peak state, but it's about the same."

Dr. Lin nodded in satisfaction: "I think the same."
