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

Chi Lang followed Gu Ran, and the two of them came to the sidelines together. Seeing that the corners of his mouth had a slight upward curve, and he was desperately holding back, he couldn't help but bumped him with his elbow: "Laugh if you want to."

Sure enough, Gu Ran grinned, then quickly lowered her head and bent over to put a sheath on the skates.

The results came out quickly. In this competition, as long as the movements are not too excessive and do not cause danger, the referees will turn a blind eye to any physical contact.

What's more, whether it was Gu Ran who overtook Meng Yuqiao or the two of them overtook Chi Lang together, their movements were very clean, and no physical contact or illegal lane changes could be seen under the high-speed cameras.

Seeing the results, although Gu Ran was smiling, she was not as excited as when she crossed the finish line just now.

The moment the finish line is crossed, the adrenaline is secreted to its peak, and the competitive spirit is fully satisfied. The excitement has nothing to do with the gold medal, it is purely because of the sense of accomplishment that comes from winning against a strong opponent.

As for this gold medal, it doesn't have much gold content, and it's not enough to make Gu Ran so excited that it's hard to calm down.

Chi Lang put his hand on his shoulder, very naturally, the two of them were as close as a team, and it was not at all obvious that they were opponents just now.

The scene was very noisy, especially when they were walking in the aisle under the stands, and Gu Ran's name was called from time to time in the stands.

Chi Lang leaned into his ear and asked, "Were you happy just now when you won the first place? Now that you are so calm, you finally won the championship. Hurry up and perform live and weep with joy."

Gu Ran pushed him and joked: "Winning against an opponent like you, what's there to cry about?"

"Tsk tsk~~" Chi Lang said in a strange way, "Gu Xiaoran, you're so swollen, you don't even look down on me now."

Gu Ran sneered: "I didn't like it before."

Chi Lang rushed over and strangled his neck, and the two wrestled together again.

How can Gu Ran's small body be Chi Lang's opponent? When a boy of fifteen or sixteen goes crazy, his hands don't matter. When Chi Lang pushed, Gu Ran bumped into the person who was walking behind , he almost stepped on someone's foot.

Meng Yuqiao staggered from being hit by him, supported his back with one hand, and supported the mat with the other, and managed to support the weight of the two of them without falling down together.

"I'm sorry..." Gu Ran hurriedly turned around and apologized. He thought he bumped into some staff member for fear of being reprimanded.Seeing that it was Meng Yuqiao, he laughed, and immediately relaxed, pointing to Chi Lang and said, "It's none of my business, he pushed me."

Meng Yuqiao's always clear and cold Bingshan face actually smiled a little: "It's okay." After speaking, he walked around the two of them and left.

The two watched his back go away, and Chi Lang asked, "Did he...was he laughing just now?"

Gu Ran nodded: "He is the iceberg beauty that others said."

Chi Lang said: "I can't tell if it's beautiful or not, the ice is real ice."

Gu Ran thought of what Meng Yuqiao said when they had breakfast together that morning, and then thought of He Yang.He said without beginning or end: "He is angry in his heart and can't swallow it."

"Ah?" Chi Lang was puzzled, "He's not as skilled as others, what's there to be angry about?"

Gu Ran shook her head: "I didn't talk about the match just now."

"Then what are you talking about?"

"I mean..." Gu Ran sighed softly, "I can't tell."

"..."

As Gu Ran expected, they took No.5000 again in the final men's 2-meter relay.

However, this time, they made some progress. Gu Ranhua took the last stick and almost passed Province H when he handed over the baton.

The last stick in Province H was Liu Fei, who regained the number one position by relying on his strong personal strength.

In the last two laps of the race, Gu Ran was chasing after him, forcing Liu Fei to use all his strength to compete with him.

Although in the end, Gu Ran still failed to overtake the opponent, but seeing Liu Fei take a few breaths after finishing the game, he felt very proud.

He can force the official players of the national youth team to sprint with all their strength, which shows that there is no insurmountable gap between him and the opponent.

Anyway, this time he won a gold medal, try harder next time!

This time they were in a hurry. After the competition, they had to rush to the airport without even attending the final team award ceremony.

When Gu Ran walked back along the aisle of the stands with his teammates, many people were calling his name and greeting him.

Gu Ran was very embarrassed, and kept nodding her head, saying thank you.

Wu Kaize joked with him: "It's only an elite league, and my juniors have already become fans. If I participate in a televised game in the future, I won't be popular all over the country."

Zheng Wenkang was on the other side of Gu Ran, put his arm around Gu Ran's shoulder, and said very firmly: "It's not a matter of time."

Liang Kexin touched Gu Ran's head from behind: "With our Gu Xiaoran's face, it's not impossible to become popular all over the world."

Zhao Ting said: "Hurry up, hurry up, all those who want to sign come to line up."

Gu Ran was caught between them, quickly waved her hands, and said with a very polite smile: "What kind of fan club are you doing, you don't need it..."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

"Little brother, you are too cute."

Gao Ziyi was originally standing with Gu Ran, but was pushed aside by Zheng Wenkang, he didn't say anything, and quietly listened to his teammates making jokes with Gu Ran.

The voyage of more than three hours was really difficult. According to the past habits, Gu Ran always sat with Gao Ziyi.

At the beginning, the two were still chatting about this morning's game, and when they talked about the moment when Gu Ran surpassed Meng Yuqiao, even Zheng Wenkang and Wu Kaize, who were sitting in the back, couldn't help poking their heads over and said, "Damn, you're so handsome! Really. If you put it in a big game, it can be replayed repeatedly on the sports channel.”

Without affecting the rest of other passengers, Gu Ran was happy to share and replay the game with his teammates.So, he expressed his observations and ideas before and after surpassing Meng Yuqiao.

Zheng Wenkang was very surprised: "You can still think so much during the competition, my mind is blank, I only know how to play by ear."

Wu Kaize yelled at him: "So you can't even make it to the finals."

Zheng Wenkang defended: "That can't blame me."

The two of them argued and failed to control the volume, so Gao Ziyi immediately raised his index finger and made a silent gesture: "You two should sit down, the stewardess will come over later."

It happened that the voice of the flight attendant came from the radio. The plane encountered turbulence and was a little bumpy. Passengers were asked to sit in their seats and fasten their seat belts.

So the two of them could only sit back honestly.

In front, Gu Ran and Gao Ziyi continued chatting head to head.Gao Ziyi asked him: "Do you think so much every time in the game?"

"Of course not!" Gu Ran laughed, "Why do I think so much every time? You also know that the whole 500-meter race takes just over 40 seconds. Even if I have any ideas, it's too late."

"And, sometimes, I'm easy to get ahead in the competition. When my emotions get up, I can't control so much, I just know to keep my head down and slide forward. As Senior Brother Zheng said, play by ear."

"This time it's because before coming to the game, Director Xu told me that I should focus on the game itself, observe the opponent more, and pay attention to the details of the game."

Gao Ziyi said: "But I will, I will think a lot during the game."

Hearing this, Gu Ran looked up at his Senior Brother Gao.The two of them were already very close to each other, but when they raised their heads, Gu Ran looked into each other's eyes.

Gao Ziyi has always been a person who doesn't display emotions, he has never had too intense emotions, and has always been a very calm and gentle person.

"You know that 1500 meters is the longest individual event, and more than two minutes is enough to think a lot."

Gu Ran was not surprised, this was very similar to Gao Ziyi's style, thoughtful and steady.

"Then what is the brother thinking about during the competition?"

Gao Ziyi said softly: "I will also observe the opponent, guess their next move, how to complete the overtaking, or prevent the opponent from overtaking."

"But I can't be as decisive as you. I always look forward and backward, think a lot, and I don't have full confidence, so I won't go forward easily."

He sighed: "Director Xu always said that I'm not energetic, I don't look like a young man."

Gu Ran bumped him with the shoulder: "Then senior should practice short-distance events, I don't have time for you to get tangled up."

Gao Ziyi shook his head: "I tried, but the explosive power is not enough. Director Xu said that I am only suitable for skating 1500 meters."

Gu Ran said: "It doesn't matter, it's always okay to skate during training, to experience the speed and passion."

The flight time was very long, the two chatted for a while, Gao Ziyi was a little sleepy, and fell asleep after closing his eyes for a while.

Gu Ran fumbled for a chemistry workbook from his schoolbag, and forgot the time as he was doing it. When the plane landed, he brushed through all the questions in several units.

Although the time for leave is more than the time for class, Gu Ran's study progress has not been slowed down at all.

However, because of the competition, he has not been able to take the monthly exam so far, and he doesn't know where his grades will be in the class or grade.

When we got off the plane, it happened to be after five o'clock in the afternoon. As usual, Gu Changfeng and Xu Mei came to the airport early to pick up their son.

In the evening, Gu Ran finished her homework and the game was updated.Today is Friday, just to play two.

As soon as he clicked on the game, a WeChat message popped up. It was the provincial team's WeChat group. Liang Kexin specially tweeted to him: "Gu Xiaoran come out quickly!!!!!!"

Seeing the series of exclamation marks, Gu Ran's scalp felt numb, and she thought that something serious happened, so she quickly replied in the group: "Senior sister, I'm here."

"Look at it!!!"

Liang Kexin posted a link in the group, and Gu Ran clicked on it. It was a forum for ice and snow sports, named Bingfeng.

Many ice and snow sports enthusiasts, as well as some athletes, gathered among them. Everyone gathered to discuss the competition and share some technical issues.

There are sub-sections for various sports under the forum. The link sent by Liang Kexin is the most popular post in the short track speed skating section today: "Shocked! Are the short track speed skaters' looks starting to look good now?"

"I went to watch the Elite League today, my God! Some young players are too handsome."

The following are a few pictures of the competition. It can be seen that some are news pictures, and some are taken by mobile phones.Among them were Meng Yuqiao, Chi Lang and others.

The host also said: "There are iceberg beauties and muscular men. Now I would like to introduce my favorite one to you. He won the gold medal in the 500-meter youth group. Among them, there is a very wonderful surpass. video."

Then, Gu Ran saw many pictures of herself, some in the distant view and some in close-up.There was him crossing the corner with his hands behind his back in the preliminaries, and there was a shot of him holding up the goggles, and there was even a close-up shot of his buttocks from behind without showing his face.

The host also posted two drooling emoji expressions: "This is a round and upturned butt, I asked whoever saw it and wanted to pinch it."

"Skaters have every ass up."

"But this one is particularly warped. Not only is it warped, it's also very round, and it must feel good to the touch!"

"The one upstairs is more restrained, he is still a child."

"However, although……"

"This kid is also good-looking, with big eyes, a high nose bridge, white and tender, and two small dimples. The picture of winning the championship and wanting to smile but holding back is so cute!"

"Within 2 minutes, I want all the information about this athlete."

"The report card on the big screen doesn't say, Province J, No. 77, Gu Ran. You can check his helmet number on the official website of the Skating Association to see his basic information."

Seeing this, Gu Ran couldn't help frowning, don't athletes have privacy?

After thinking about it, in fact, all the skating association can find are basic information such as name, gender, date of birth, and affiliation, and there is nothing particularly private.

Later, the landlord released the video of the 500-meter final. It is not difficult to see from the shooting angle that it was shot with a mobile phone.Although it is a little far away, the picture is still clear, and every detail can be seen very clearly.

Therefore, the following replies no longer focus on appearance, but also start to discuss the game itself.

"These people are very strong, after all, they are still young."

"That Meng Yuqiao has a good-looking face, but he is already 18 years old, and he can't skate a 14-year-old player. Is he really good?"

"What do you know, he is a 'rotary ice', and he only started playing on the ice three years ago. I remember that at that time, R province held a 'rotary ice' competition, saying that children with potential would have the opportunity to enter the provincial team."

"That's right, I also paid attention to this competition. Meng Yuqiao practiced short track speed skating for less than half a year at that time, and won the championship in that age group."

"But he didn't enter the R provincial team, and now he spends his own money to train in the WE club."

"..."

Gu Ran hurriedly opened the browser, and entered the two keywords "Province R" and "Luanhuanbing".

This competition is held every year, and Gu Ran set the date again, only to see the news from three years ago.

The scale of the competition is not small. In addition to Province R, children from other surrounding provinces and cities participated in the competition. It was divided into three age groups. Meng Yuqiao won the championship in the 14-16 age group.

But Gu Ran's eyes fell on No.2's name, which he was also very familiar with, it was He Yang!

At this point, Gu Ran also figured out why Meng Yuqiao was so hostile to He Yang, and even the entire R provincial team.

If it is true that He Yang squeezed out Meng Yuqiao to enter the Provincial R team through some means, it can only be said that this team has a lot of tricks.

At this time, the WeChat group of the provincial team of J has already become lively, and everyone is in Aite Guran: "Wow, is the little brother going to be popular so soon?"

"Junior brother has gained a wave of presence by relying on his face."

"Nonsense, the younger brother relies on his buttocks."

"Young junior brother is also very strong, okay?"

Gu Ran glanced at it. There were dozens of pages in the post, mainly discussing him, and occasionally some floors discussing others.

Seeing everyone seamlessly discussing his face and butt, Gu Ran felt the embarrassment through the screen, and quickly turned off the link.

Then he sent a red envelope in the group: "Brothers and sisters, please let me go!"

Xu Qing snatched the biggest red envelope, and suddenly said in a frenzy: "It's only when the butt is upright that it helps to occupy the seat. You should practice more."

Everyone: "!!!"

Gu Ran really didn't want to see the word "butt" anymore, so she quickly changed the subject: "Come on, come on, let the wild king fly, speed up!"
