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

Back at the apartment building, Gu Ran threw her schoolbag into her room, and ran out with her lunch box.

He first went to the first floor to heat up the dishes he had brought back in the microwave, and then went directly to Gao Ziyi's room.

The door was ajar and it was not closed tightly. He pushed it and called "Senior Brother", but when he went in, he found that besides Gao Ziyi, there was another person in the room, it was Meng Yuqiao.

Gu Ran was surprised and said, "Da Qiao is here too."

Meng Yuqiao frowned lightly. Before the word "Brother Called" came out, Gu Ran said kindly, "Come, come, Brother Da Qiao, let's eat together."

Meng Yuqiao: "..."

He sighed softly, seeing Gu Ran dragging a stool to the table, he couldn't help pushing him down: "I packed the bag specially from the master's house."

While holding the chopsticks, he changed his words: "It should be said that it is a tiger's mouth."

Gao Ziyi smiled and asked, "Whose tiger mouth?"

Gu Ran handed the two pairs of chopsticks to them respectively: "Director Cheng, you can't think of it."

Meng Yuqiao frowned again: "Didn't you go to your master's house for dinner, why did you meet Director Cheng?"

Gu Ran sat on Gao Ziyi's bed by herself, opened her posture and was about to tell them what happened to her today.

Who knows that before he opened his mouth, a person came in like a gust of wind at the door, Chi Lang sniffed his nose twice, and rushed to them: "Wow, it smells so good!"

Gu Ran reached out to stop him: "You are a dog, you have such a good nose."

Chi Lang grabbed his bowl and threw it behind him: "Gu Xiaoran, you are not kind, you don't know how to share anything delicious."

Gu Ranbai glanced at him: "When you come, it's not called sharing, it's exclusive to you."

After thinking about it, Chi Lang felt that what he said was right, so he hurried to close the door, for fear that a few hungry wolves would pounce on him in a while, and he would have even less to eat.

Meng Yuqiao moved aside to make room for Chi Lang.Gao Ziyi turned around and looked at Gu Ran: "Xiao Ran, you haven't said how you met Director Cheng."

"Not only did I meet Director Cheng, but also Director Xu." Gu Ran leaned back with his hands behind his back, "So Director Cheng's father is my master."

When Chi Lang heard this, he almost choked to death on a piece of rib: "You, you, what did you say?"

"My idol is your master's son?"

"Yes, he takes his mother's surname."

Gu Ran took out her mobile phone and entered Cheng Lan's name in the search engine: "This is Director Cheng's mother, also my teacher's wife."

He shared with his teammates what Xu Qing told him about Cheng Lan on the way back.

The three of them didn't sigh after hearing this, and even Chi Lang, a ruthless cooking machine, put down his chopsticks.

The four people in the room did not speak for a while, they were all shocked by the indomitable and unyielding spirit of the seniors.

After a while, it was Meng Yuqiao, who usually doesn't like to talk, who spoke first: "We have such good conditions now, there is no reason not to train well."

Chi Lang nodded sharply, bent his elbow and said, "I'm full of strength now, and I can't wait to go to the skating rink to practice a hundred laps."

Gu Ran pointed casually: "The door is over there, go!"

Chi Lang put his arms around his neck and pushed him down on the bed.

Meng Yuqiao looked at Gao Ziyi: "I suddenly made a decision about what I told you just now."

Gao Ziyi was silent for a rare moment: "Why don't you think about it again."

Gu Ran kicked Chi Lang away, sat up and asked, "What's the matter?"

Meng Yuqiao said, "I want to drop out of school."

He has only been a freshman for one semester, and he is in Beijing, majoring in physical education. He has to go back to school for several half-day classes every week. When the training is intense, he can't spare a half-day.

Gao Ziyi said: "Da Qiao feels that he can't take care of both going to school and training at the same time. It delays both training and learning."

"Ah?" Gu Ran always felt that she was connoted, "But your college courses are very easy. There are only a few classes a day, and it doesn't affect anything."

Meng Yuqiao rubbed his head: "You think everyone is as smart as you. We ordinary people have limited energy. If we can take care of one end, we can't take care of the other end."

Gu Ran said: "You can skate from the club to the national team, what kind of ordinary person are you?"

"You used to learn roller skating, and then you turned to short track. What kind of ordinary person is this?"

"Not only did you practice skating, you passed the first line of the college entrance examination, and you were admitted to a double first-class university. What kind of ordinary person are you?"

Chi Lang stretched out his hand to cover his mouth: "Baby, you have pissed off Da Qiao, and he will send you to the opposite tower with a big move."

Gu Ran patted his hand away, and continued to look at Meng Yuqiao: "You are just afraid of being under pressure, so you have to find a way out for yourself."

Meng Yuqiao met the boy's stubborn gaze, and couldn't help stretching out his hand to scratch his chin: "Okay, if I don't fail this semester's final exam, I will continue to study next semester. This little thing, don't you care?" What's the matter?"

Gu Ran tilted her head, and moved her chin away: "I'm not angry, I just think that you finally went to college, and now you're taking a break from school, and you may have to retire before you can go to school. It's a pity."

Meng Yuqiao felt warm in his heart when he was so genuinely worried about himself.Unable to control his hand, he scratched his chin twice, like a kitten: "Listen to you."

While speaking, Gao Ziyi had already finished the rest of the dishes.He packed up the chopsticks and lunch box, and went to the bathroom: "I'm going to wash the dishes."

In early January, they participated in a domestic event - the National Short Track Speed ​​Skating Championship.This is currently the highest standard of short track speed skating in China, but for them, it is just training and maintaining a competitive state.

Although everyone came from Beijing, everyone competed on behalf of their respective provincial teams. Only the relay race Cheng Sen allowed the players to form a team across provinces.

In the 500m and 1000m races, they met He Yang from Province R again.

Gu Ran could clearly feel that the moment Meng Yuqiao saw this person on the field, her whole state was different.

He also pointed at Meng Yuqiao and joked with Gao Ziyi beside him: "Look, senior brother."

Gao Ziyi stared at Meng Yuqiao for a while. Everyone was teammates who looked up but saw down. It was nothing unusual. He asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"

Gu Ran said, "Did you see the top of Da Qiao's head?"

Gao Ziyi stretched his neck for a closer look: "What happened to the top of his head?"

Gu Ran smiled and said, "The anger gauge is already full."

Gao Ziyi: "..."

Gu Ran rested her chin with both hands: "I'm really curious, what kind of hatred do they have?"

As soon as he finished speaking, something happened on the field.When turning a corner, He Yang and Meng Yuqiao fell out of the field together.

Gu Ran and Gao Ziyi were standing on the sidelines, watching in shock. Next month they will participate in two consecutive World Cup matches. If Meng Yuqiao gets injured, it will be troublesome.

Gu Ran stretched her neck and looked into the arena, and saw Meng Yuqiao move her ankle after standing up.

Cheng Sen and Xu Qing were originally standing in a corner of the court watching the game, but now they also gathered around and communicated with Meng Yuqiao through the crash pad.Instead, the coach of WE stepped aside to make room for them.

After a while, Gu Ran saw Meng Yuqiao waving her hand, so it should be fine.

When he came out of the ice rink, that He Yang actually leaned over and said something to him.

Meng Yuqiao didn't say a word, just gave him such a gloomy look, He Yang didn't dare to go forward again.

Later, when the results of the game came out, He Yang was penalized for a foul, and Meng Yuqiao entered the final.

Although Meng Yuqiao, Chi Lang and Liu Fei have all entered the 500-meter final, except for Meng Yuqiao who can compete with Gu Ran, the other two are not his opponents at all.

Even if it was Meng Yuqiao, he was just following behind Gu Ran, and he didn't get away from him. It was almost impossible to overtake.

After crossing the line, Gu Ran looked up, 40 seconds 812, quite a good result.

In addition to the 500 meters, Gu Ran is also dominant in the 1000 meters.Ren Yongjie couldn't keep up with him at all, and Chi Lang was so strong that he could barely compare with him.

Gu Ran didn't need to use his brain to compete with him, and suppressed from the route.But Chi Lang's bulk is there, and Gu Ran can't stand the slightest physical contact between the two of them.

So, when the two of them were side by side, he glared at Chi Lang.

Chi Lang said in his heart: "Why are you staring? This is a competition. You think I will let you."

He stared back again.

Gu Ran didn't bother to pay attention to him, and when he came out of the corner, he slammed a few times and stuck in front of Chi Lang, not giving him any chance.

In this competition, Gu Ran signed up for the 1500m race for the first time.This is a new challenge for him.

Of course, at present, Gao Ziyi is the ceiling of this project. Gu Ran's strength is still a little bit stronger compared to his brother Xiao Gao, but he can still compete with other people.

Before playing, he met Jiang Hongyi.Gu Ran remembered that in Shanghai the year before last, Jiang Hongyi leaned against the door of the hotel room and told Gu Ran that he was looking forward to having the opportunity to compete with him in the 1500-meter race.

Isn't the opportunity here?

There are six people in the 1500m final.When Gu Ran started running, she inadvertently thought she was skating in the 500 meters, and came up without saying a word and grabbed the first place.It took a lap of the lead to realize that it was 1500 meters, and everyone was walking behind.

Gao Ziyi followed behind him, patted his hand lightly, and reminded: "Reasonably distribute physical energy."

Only then did Gu Ran slow down, but within a few laps, Gao Ziyi directly overtook him from outsiders, followed by Jiang Hongyi.

After a while, Ren Yongjie also surpassed the past.

Gu Ran: "???"

In the past, Gu Xiaoran saw others surpassing him, that was absolutely unbearable, and he wished that he would surpass him in the next second.

After training with the national team for half a year, his mentality has become much calmer.Although he still had the urge to chase after him the moment he saw someone overtaking him.But I can calm down immediately and tell myself that in the 1500-meter race, you overtake me and I overtake you.

What's the rush, there are still a few laps to come, and there are plenty of opportunities.

Gao Ziyi, the leader, picked up his speed as soon as he went up, and the people behind him couldn't catch up even if they wanted to.

Gu Ran raised her head, adjusted the goggles, and saw his Senior Brother Xiao Gao was far ahead alone.

It is not an easy task to catch up in one breath - he has to come one by one.

Therefore, when the race entered the ninth lap, Gu Ran, who was temporarily ranked fourth, suddenly started to speed up.

His ability to start in the middle of the game is also ranked first in the national team.In the blink of an eye, he surpassed Ren Yongjie.

The race entered the tenth lap, Gu Ran came to the third place, and the person in front of him was Jiang Hongyi.

Jiang Hongyi is 20 years old this year, and he also has certain strength in the 1500-meter event.He also won gold medals in the World Youth Championships and domestic competitions in the past two years.

It's just that in the past two years, more and better young players have emerged, but he has not improved significantly, and at this time he seems to be lost in the crowd.

However, as far as the country is concerned, he is second only to Gao Ziyi in this project.

When Gu Ran entered the curve, she saw the timing and prepared to overtake from the outer lane.

Jiang Hongyi sensed his intention, and suddenly changed his position, blocking his way to surpass.

Strictly speaking, this is a foul move. In order to avoid directly colliding with the opponent, Gu Ran can only choose to slow down first.
