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

At this moment, Gu Ran had already sketched He Yang's expression when he heard this in his mind. It was really exciting, and he couldn't help laughing: "Unfortunately, Province R doesn't seem to be staying here this time."

Meng Yuqiao shrugged: "Out of sight is in sight."

The dimple on Gu Ran's face became deeper and deeper: "Don't be like this, we still have to see each other on the field."

"See you on the field, that's another way of saying it."

Gu Ran took out her phone: "Come on, add a WeChat."

Meng Yuqiao didn't hesitate, and took out her mobile phone, and the two of them scanned the QR code to add friends.

Gu Ran looked down, and the other party's WeChat name was indeed Da Qiao hahahaha.He suddenly thought of a joke related to the game, so he casually said it to cheer up the atmosphere: "I remember, the last person who sent me home was Da Qiao."

"What?" Meng Yuqiao probably didn't play games, so she didn't understand the stalk.

"Eh..." Gu Ran explained to him, "Big Joe's second skill can send teammates home."

Meng Yuqiao snorted softly, the smile on her face subsided, and she put on that cool and cold look again: "You should call me Senior Brother."

Gu Ran: "???"

Meng Yuqiao said again: "Although we are not a team now, I am older than you."

Gu Ran suddenly realized: "Understood, Da Qiao."

"..."

"Big Joe!" On the other side, the leader of the WE club shouted loudly, "Come here."

Meng Yuqiao emphasized again: "Brother." After speaking, he left.

Gu Ran wants to go to WeChat, and returns to his teammate contentedly. Maybe he can call his brother, and the other party can share his skills with him. It's not a loss to think about it.

After two days of training on the ice is the official competition, and it has already reached the fourth round. Gu Ran has no freshness at the beginning. He is no longer the teenager who had to work hard in the preliminaries four months ago to barely advance. .

Now he can also skate as he likes. When turning, he doesn't need to support the ice surface. He keeps his hands behind his back the whole time, straightens his body at the last moment, and slides across the finish line.

At the same time, the same game, the same opponent, the people who were at the same level as him before are still at that level, and he is approaching a higher level athlete at a speed visible to the naked eye.

But he is only 14 and a half years old, the youngest among all the participating players.

On the first competition day, the weather was fine, with blue sky and white clouds, and fresh air. Although the temperature hovered around zero, the sun came out early in the morning.

When entering the skating hall, Gu Ran was chatting with Gao Ziyi: "Brother, how about I start practicing 1500 meters when I go back?"

Gao Ziyi smiled and said, "Of course! Your technique is so good, you must be very strong in 1500 meters!"

Gu Ran frowned: "But I didn't qualify, can I participate in the national championship?"

Gao Ziyi said truthfully, "No."

"Hey!" Gu Ran said with a sigh of relief, "That can only be discussed next year."

"but……"

Before Gao Ziyi finished speaking, the two of them had already climbed the steps and walked into the gate of the skating hall.

Once in, Gu Ran was almost taken aback.

This venue is not big, but it can accommodate about 800 people.Usually when they compete, most of the people sitting in the stands are members of the participating teams, and everyone has their own area.In the remaining places, occasionally schools or local ice and snow clubs come to watch the competition, but they usually watch the finals.

What a special day today, so many wild spectators came for the preliminaries.

Zheng Wenkang, who was walking in front, couldn't help exclaiming: "When did short track speed skating become so popular?"

Wu Kaize laughed at him: "What a pity, you woke up late this morning and didn't wash your face."

Liang Kexin on the side almost died laughing.

After all, Xu Qing is a person who has seen the big world, and he is calm and composed: "It's only two or three hundred people more. Look at Barcelona, ​​the Camp Nou can accommodate 300 people, and the stadium is full of seats."

Hearing this, Gu Ran was very upset: "Director Xu, I'm a Real Madrid fan."

Zheng Wenkang immediately said: "I testify! His shin guards belong to Real Madrid, and there are the words 'CR7'."

Gu Ran nodded: "Yeah, the president is sweet."

Xu Qing raised his eyebrows: "Then you are miserable, your coach is a fan of Messi, and he can kill you with just a few fingers."

Gu Ran quickly changed her words: "Barcelona is the strongest in the universe!"

"..."

For the convenience of management, the organizer has divided each team's area before the game and marked it out in the order book. Even if there are many spectators at the scene, the athletes can get enough rest between games.

The atmosphere at the scene was very enthusiastic, and the athletes were also very excited. Even the results of each group improved a lot.

During the 1000m final, one of the players in one of the groups fell down at the start.But he fell by himself and did not collide with anyone. The referee did not whistle to call other athletes back.

There was warm applause from the stands to encourage the young athlete who fell down. That person quickly stood up and continued the competition. In the end, although he failed to advance, he completed the competition within the stipulated time.

When Chi Lang came on stage, there was another burst of applause and cheers.Chi Dali enjoyed this idol-like treatment in the U-series competitions. In the elite league, he has also become a fledgling player. He has not felt the feeling of girls cheering for him for a long time, and he skates especially hard.

When Gu Ran played the game, the scene was even more lively.There were screams and cheers one after another. Although there were not many people, the atmosphere was set off very well.

"Wow! I usually only watch figure skating, but because of the post on Bingfeng, I came here to watch short track speed skating."

"Ahhh, Meng Yuqiao, he's so handsome, I like it so much!"

"Gu Ran, it's Gu Ran who is going to play."

"I really like to see him leaning forward and sliding with his hands behind his back,"

"This butt is really round and upturned. It looks better than the photo."

"Want to see him adjust his helmet."

"Want to see him adjust the goggles."

"If you want to pinch his buttocks, it must feel good!"

"..."

Gu Ran was in the game and didn't hear everyone's discussion about him.Until the end of the game, he went up to watch him, and when he passed a row of seats, a young lady sitting outside suddenly said to him: "Change to light-colored goggles tomorrow."

"..."

Gu Ran was puzzled, the audience didn't care what color goggles he was wearing?

Then he heard someone beside him whispering: "The skin is really good, white and tender."

"Want to pinch."

"There are dimples on the face."

"Want to poke."

"The ass is up and round, especially when wearing a onesie."

"Want to pinch."

"!!!"

Gu Ran seemed to be frightened, and fled with a helmet and skates.

That night, there was another post about the short track speed skating competition on the Bingfeng Forum: "Short track speed skating beet, it's amazing! Good looking, good figure, strong strength, everyone has a promising future .Multi-picture warning!"

As soon as the post was posted, it immediately sparked heated discussions among ice and snow lovers. Various high-definition pictures and videos were shared, covering dozens of pages.

So, on the second day and the third day, there were even more people, and even the local media came to report.

There are more and more people, and the atmosphere on the scene is getting more and more lively. Even in the 1000-meter and 500-meter finals, the referee had to raise his hand to signal the audience to quiet down before firing the starting gun.

In the two finals, Gu Ran performed well and achieved satisfactory results, but in the end he only got No.3.

I don't know if it was the reason for the last stop. Both Liu Fei and Ren Yongjie showed their true strength this time.

During the competition, the two fought back and forth fiercely, and the others couldn't catch up, and they didn't dare to get close to them.

Gu Ran followed closely behind, and he found that although there was a slight gap between him and the two members of the National Youth Team, it was much better than it was four months ago.

As for Chi Lang, this time he didn't even make it to the 500-meter final, but only made it to the 1000-meter final.And Meng Yuqiao was just the opposite. He only made it to the 500-meter final, but failed to make it to the 1000-meter final.

The four races of the China Cup Short Track Speed ​​Skating Elite League have all ended. It is not unknown, but it is a surprise.Gu Ran actually ranked first in the 500m event with total points! The 1000m race also got the third place in the total points.

When the teammates saw this ranking, they all expressed surprise, and they all came over to congratulate Gu Ran: "Wow! Our little brother is indeed the descendant of Ziwei Xing."

"It's the first time I participated in the competition, and I got such a good result!"

"I can't wait, hurry up to next year's national championship!"

Gu Ran was very calm, this ranking doesn't explain the problem at all.He is very aware of his own strength and the gap between himself and Liu Fei.

Some team members also whispered in private: "The total points are too watery."

"The two big guys gave up the final for the sake of the team's junior players getting more points."

"Ranked No. [-] now, what if I can't make it to the finals of the National Championships next year?"

"I'd rather not have this false name, and I don't want to overturn when the time comes."

Of course, Gu Ran didn't know about these discussions.He was just calculating that the National Short Track Speed ​​Skating Championships will be in March next year.From now on, excluding holidays such as New Year's Day and New Year's Day, as well as the final exam, he will have at least two and a half months to train.

These two and a half months are enough for him to further improve his grades.

After returning to Province J, Xu Qing fulfilled his promise and gave the team members three days off.But there is a condition. When they return to the team, they are asked to submit a summary of this season's elite league, at least [-] words.

This time, Gu Ran wrote an article neatly, from the first round to the fourth round, carefully summarizing every game.

Summarize not only yourself, but also your opponents.Write down your shortcomings in detail, how to overcome them, and how to improve them.

After finishing writing, I did a rough calculation, and it has far exceeded the [-] words Xu Qing requested.

Xu Qing skimmed through other people's summaries, but only Gu Ran read them word for word.After reading it, I felt that it was not enough, so I took out Zheng Wenkang and Wu Kaize's and read it again.

In the end, Mr. Xu came to a conclusion: the structure of the article is consistent, the style is unified, the logical chain is complete, and the words and sentences are similar.These two people are so daring, they dare to ask the younger brother to write for them, they should be punished!

He should be punished heavily, even the younger brother!

So, after the training was over, everyone else left, and the three of them technically skated for [-] laps.

Wu Kaize felt guilty for hurting his junior brother.For several days in a row, he distributed his duck legs to Gu Ran.

Gu Ran gnawed on the duck leg and was very satisfied: "Next time there is such a good thing, if you still ask me for help, I won't be afraid of being punished."

"..."

In fact, he had guessed it when he was helping, and Xu Qing would see it.

In a few days, it's the final exam.Gu Ran took classes intermittently for a month, and missed the monthly exam once, but had time to take the final exam.

Because the monthly exam results were missed every time and there was no ranking, Gu Ran's exam room was assigned to the one with the worst grade in the whole year.

It is full of students who are at the bottom of the rankings, and there is not a single student in their class.

When Gu Ran walked into the examination room, the students were all surprised: "Who is this?"

"do not know."

"The sports student in the experimental class is a skier."

"Playing hockey."

"Looks like a curling pot."

"..."

As for sports students, the focus is on practicing sports. Whoever has the time, thought and energy to study, it is normal to be arranged in this examination room, and everyone doesn't care.

On the contrary, the female students took a second look at Gu Ran. After all, this kind of boy with a fair face, exquisite facial features, and a good figure attracts attention wherever he goes.

Gu Ran took the test paper and skimmed it before starting to answer the questions. The first Chinese test, plus writing, was a two-hour test, and he handed in the test in less than an hour and a half.

When he walked out of the classroom, the other students in the examination room couldn't help looking up at him.

Sure enough, he is a sports student, so he doesn't care about the exam at all, and he doesn't check the papers after writing.

Therefore, for the next exam, Gu Ran handed in the papers for each subject very early, some even less than an hour, and even the invigilator did not allow him to hand in the papers in advance, and asked him to check it again.

Gu Ran: "..."

The final exam was over, and the whole freshman year was talking about him.

"There is an experimental class in our examination room, and each time the papers are handed in for more than an hour."

"Wow, Xueba! Why is Xueba assigned to your examination room?"

"What kind of academic master, just a top individual student who practices figure skating at the ice training base next to him."

"But he looks good, very handsome, especially his butt, which is so high that he can hold up his coat."

"He walked past me and I wanted to poke him."

"It doesn't matter whether your grades are good or not. Who doesn't like a good-looking boy who practices sports?"

"..."

A few days later, the final exam results came out.The students gathered around the podium to look at the results. Nine of the top ten names were familiar to them. They dominated the rankings for a long time. Even the order didn't change much, and everyone could memorize them.

However, who is Gu Ran who is ranked eighth?Who is Gu Ran? I haven't heard of it before.

After school, I inquired, is the good guy Gu Ran?It was the physical education student in the last examination room, the one with a white face and a very raised butt, yes, the paper was handed in within an hour.

It's not that he can't do it, nor is he a scumbag, he can be admitted to the eighth place in the whole grade! ! !

They don't practice ice hockey, curling and skiing, they practice short track speed skating! ! !

In a final exam, Gu Ran, who originally only had a name in his own class, became famous for a while, not to mention the entire dozen or so classes in the first grade, even the seniors and sisters in the second and third grades heard of his name.

However, there are also sports students from other sports in other classes. Because of training, they didn't even come to the final exam.

This makes it even more obvious that Gu Ran is a top student. He has to train and compete, and he can also take the eighth grade test. The key is that he is good-looking. What is he not good at? ? ?

Gu Ran took the report card and went back to the ice training base. It happened that the three people in the dormitory were going to eat in the cafeteria. When they saw him coming back, they dragged him along.

After walking downstairs, Gao Ziyi realized: "Xiaoran doesn't seem very happy."

Gu Ran smiled and shook her head: "No."

Zheng Wenkang went to get the report card in his hand: "Is it because the test scores are not satisfactory."

Wu Kaize on the other side said indifferently: "You are just a freshman, take your time, and besides, you are always training, as long as you are not the last one, it will be fine."

Gao Ziyi asked: "How many exams did you pass?"

Zheng Wenkang said slowly: "The eighth in the whole grade."

"!!!"
