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

The American's abacus was clinking, and it seemed that he was not fighting or grabbing, but he was stuck in that position, unable to get up or down, and it was difficult for Chi Lang and Gu Ran behind to observe the movements of the two in front, nor to surpass them.

Therefore, the people who had just fallen behind him were not polite to him.Just two seconds later, he overtook him at the next corner.

Not only did he overtake himself, but he also led Chi Lang behind him to overtake.

There is only a blink of an eye, not even a second, between the transcendence and the anti-transcendence.

Miller Brown passed from the outside lane when he was on the straight.The moment he entered the curve, Gu Ran led Chi Lang to overtake without stopping.

The audience didn't even have time to see what happened. Before that, they only saw Gu Ran's left hand behind his back, and his right hand casually raised to support the goggles.The movements of his feet are not very fast, and the whole person looks casual and comfortable.

Looking at it from a distance, the tall and slender boy is very handsome doing this move on the ice rink.

However, only Chi Lang could see that the hand behind Gu Ran's back moved.

The tacit understanding that two people usually play games together is not bad in the arena.Chi Lang just saw him hook his fingers and understood what he meant.

Gu Ran was saying to him: "Follow me closely."

So, without further ado, he increased his pedaling power the moment he saw Gu Ran speeding up.

When Gu Ran swiped past Miller Brown, the latter didn't even have time to react.

He knew that Gu Ran would overtake him soon, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.

When Gu Ran flashed past him, he couldn't even believe his eyes.

The word "smartness" is what the internal road surpasses. The grasp of timing and position is also a test of technology. If you are not careful, it will cause a collision. If it is serious, you may fall off the track, and fouls will also lead to the final As for the penalty, even if nothing happens, a collision with an opponent like this will affect the skating speed to some extent.

It was only in the straight ahead that he overtook Gu Ran, and the other party was able to overtake Gu Ran immediately when he was unprepared.This not only requires very precise timing, but also needs to be quite confident in one's own technology.

Obviously, Gu Ran is really confident in front of him.In such a small space, passing him is as easy as crossing the main road at four o'clock in the morning.

Miller Brown reacted and immediately started to chase.However, at this time, another person overtook him, and this person was Chi Lang who followed Gu Ran closely.

In the blink of an eye, Miller-Brown's reaction was not unpleasant, and his mind was also very clear, knowing that he should quickly get stuck in Chi Lang's position, and then go after Gu Ran in front of him.

However, Chi Lang is not a quick player like Gu Ran, he is a center of gravity tank.If you have any physical contact with him, don't try to please yourself.

Miller-Brown accidentally suffered a big loss. He didn't get stuck in his position. He bumped into Chi Lang himself and was almost ejected.

Fortunately, he was in a corner at this time, and both of them slowed down a little, so that he could barely maintain his balance.

After he barely adjusted, he looked up again, and saw that Gu Ran's figure had been completely blocked by Chi Lang.If he wants to surpass again, he can only do the same as last time, expending his energy to go up from the outside world.

This kind of surpassing once is enough. In the 1000-meter race, he wants to do it again. I am afraid that the race will be over before he surpasses it.

Besides, Chi Lang and Gu Ran are both prepared now, and the route is tightly stuck. Even if he has the physical ability to surpass from outsiders, he may not be able to surpass.

Yin Canyu in the front is still leading the skater. His strength is really strong. Without anyone interfering, he can control each lap to about nine seconds. In the next few laps, he slides faster and faster, and the attention of the audience is blocked. He attracted the past, and the shouts and tsunami came and went one after another.

The Koreans are going for the world record!

On the sidelines of the bench, their head coach still maintained his usual style, shouting and directing the game of the two South Korean players on the field.

Although Gu Ran couldn't understand what he yelled, he knew that the two people in front must have not listened to his command.

Huang Zaixian is indeed a ruthless person. Although he is temporarily ranked second, it is not difficult to see from his skating and a series of performances that he is not satisfied with his position and still has ideas about the first position. The first person is his teammate.

Out of the corner, there are two laps left in the race.

Gu Ran was a little impatient, and the frequency of kicking on the ice involuntarily increased - he wanted to overtake Huang Zaixian at the next bend.

Chi Lang behind him also saw his intention, clapped his hand, and shouted at him: "Come on, I'm behind!"

These words encouraged Gu Ran, and he began to adjust his route to get ready.

However, at this time, Xu Qing's voice suddenly rang in his ears again, he said: "Steady your mind, don't worry, don't get on top, remember what I said."

What did he say, Gu Ran desperately recalled it in his mind.He said: "Don't worry, you keep your rhythm. In this game, your only chance is Hwang Jae-hyun."

Huang Zaixian is his only chance, and at this moment, this person is in front of him.

There was one and a half laps left in the race, Gu Ran overtook him, and Yin Canyu was ahead.

Judging from this situation, even if Gu Ran passed Huang Zaixian before the end of the game, he would still be No.2.

He can't control that much, he has to overtake, and look for opportunities in the last lap to see if he can overtake Yin Canyu, or who can cross the line faster than him at the last moment.

After making up her mind, Gu Ran stopped hesitating, kicked hard on the ice a few times, and the whole person went up.

However, at this moment, Huang Zaixian also moved.

His speed was even faster than Gu Ran's, and he didn't pay attention to Gu Ran, but stared at Yin Canyu in front of him.

At this moment, he didn't care about Gu Ran's actions at all, he only knew that there was still the last lap left in the race.

He knows what his strengths and weaknesses are, and his weakness is his lack of consistent acceleration.That's why he waited until now to act.

He wants to surpass Yin Canyu at the last moment with his explosive power.

At this moment, Gu Ran slowed down, there was no reason, no reason, he just did it instinctively.

Chi Lang at the back was very strange, didn't he want to overtake Huang Zaixian, why did he slow down at such a critical moment, he wanted to ask what Gu Ran was thinking.

However, before he could say anything, something happened ahead!

The moment the incident happened, everyone was dumbfounded, and screams came from the stands, and then everyone saw someone fall, because of inertia, they slid directly out of the ice.The man was wearing a Korean team jumpsuit.

Before everyone recovered from the shock, another person fell down, and he was still wearing the onesie of the Korean team! ! !

The audience couldn't believe their eyes, and felt incredible about the scene in front of them.

The two famous Korean players are obviously in the first and second positions. Seeing that the game is about to end in the last half lap, no surprise, they will take the championship and the runner-up.

However, the accident still happened!

Gu Ran kept skating behind them, just a second before Huang Zaixian and Yin Canyu fell together, Gu Ran was very close to them.

Therefore, no one could see what happened just now more clearly than him.

At the moment of exiting the corner, Huang Zaixian slashed a few times, the intention is self-evident - he wants to complete the surpassing of his teammates.

Yin Canyu is very keen. He noticed it the moment Huang Zaixian started to speed up, and accurately predicted the latter's route, and actively changed his route to defend.

But at this time, Huang Zaixian had no way out, he could only bite the bullet and forcefully squeeze up from the side. It was at this time that the two of them had physical contact, their arms were entangled, and they pushed and pushed each other to get rid of each other.

Obviously, compared to Yin Canyu, Huang Zaixian is more ruthless, stronger and more merciless.With a wave of his arm, he pushed Yin Canyu directly.

This thrust was not small. Although Yin Canyu had tried his best to maintain his balance, Gu Ran saw his skates slipping with his own eyes, and finally fell out.

At the moment when he fell, he was not only trying to maintain his balance, but also instinctively wanted to grab something. Anyway, he just grabbed the hand that Huang Zaixian swung over just now.

So, under Gu Ran's nose, the two flew out of the track one after the other and fell neatly.

Gu Ran: "!!!"

In fact, it was only a second before and after, the moment the two fell down, Gu Ran even retracted his right leg to prevent kicking Huang Zaixian, and then he slid past the two with his hands behind his back.Immediately afterwards, Chi Lang and Miller Brown also slid over.

Gu Ran took a deep breath and let it out again. The scene just now deeply shocked him, and at the same time, he felt lucky to survive the disaster.There were mixed feelings in my heart, but I didn't dare to relax, for fear that the American behind me would see the two Koreans fall, and feel that his chance had come, so he started to charge fiercely.

Gu Ran quickly increased her speed again until she was the first to cross the finish line.

Chi Lang was second, and Miller Brown of the US team was third.

After the game, Chi Lang couldn't wait to pull Gu Ran and said, "Fuck, what happened just now?"

Gu Ran shook her head, not knowing how to describe it to him.

Chi Lang didn't wait for his response, and didn't care about it, he continued to say: "Just now, I saw that you started to speed up, and thought you were going to overtake that Huang Zaixian. I also said to block the American behind you, Save him from making trouble."

Chi Lang took off his helmet and goggles: "Why did you suddenly slow down again?"

Gu Ran also took off the helmet and goggles, and stroked her hair from front to back: "I don't know."

Chi Lang looked at him in astonishment: "You don't know?"

When they were talking, they had already slipped to the coach of the Chinese team, and Cheng Sen and Xu Qing were looking at them.

Gu Ran put the helmet on the crash pad, and said with certainty: "I really don't know, but at that moment, I just had a strong premonition that I couldn't slide close to Huang Zaixian. keep distance."

"Unexpectedly, as soon as my speed slowed down, the two Koreans were entangled together." Gu Ran patted her chest, "At that moment, my mind was full of joy for the rest of my life."

Cheng Sen and Xu Qing looked at each other and said with a smile: "This is the acumen of top players. You didn't have time to analyze it carefully at that moment, but your subconscious mind has already sorted out all the data for you and issued you the correct instructions."

"Awesome!" Chi Lang gave a thumbs up, "I've never had the sixth sense of a man like this."

Xu Qing patted him on the shoulder: "That's because you are too slow."

Chi Lang shrugged: "Director Xu, can you save me some face?"

Xu Qing looked at Cheng Sen and said with a smile, "Hey, our family is starting to lose face."

Cheng Sen said, "The child has grown up."

It's been a while, and the final result has not yet come out.Chi Lang waited impatiently: "What should I do?"

"Just wait." Cheng Sen smiled as if he went out to pick up a huge sum of money, "My Korean friend gave you such a big gift, just accept it."

Gu Ran took a deep breath: "You don't know, I was shocked at the time. Growing up, I have never seen such an outrageous scene."

"There should be no one in the audience who could see it more clearly than me. If it weren't for the same one-piece suit they were wearing, I would have thought it was two different national teams with blood feuds competing."

Gu Ran forcibly pulled Chi Lang over to demonstrate: "You give me a push."

Chi Lang pushed him kindly, and Gu Ran grabbed his wrist and yanked it violently. If it wasn't for Chi Lang's big size and stable chassis, and the ice was so slippery, he might have fallen.

Chi Lang withdrew his hand: "It's so exaggerated,"

Gu Ran waved her hand: "It's not an exaggeration at all."

Only then did Cheng Sen introduce them: "Although they are a little older, they did debut in the same World Youth Championship. It has been almost ten years now, and the two have always been in a competitive relationship."

“黄在显500米和1000米，尹灿宇是1500米和1000米，两个人唯一能较量的赛场就是1000米。”

"There are so many competitions every year, six or seven times out of ten, Yin Canyu wins. Huang Zaixian is naturally unconvinced for such a small-minded person,"

Xu Qing recalled a bit: "It's not once or twice that they have such vicious competition on the field. It is said that their domestic competitions are more exciting."

He bit the word "wonderful" very hard, and of course he didn't mean it literally.Of course, it's not just Yin Canyu and Huang Zaixian.

Gu Ran turned her head and glanced at the South Korean team's coach bench. Only Yin Canyu stood there with his head down listening to the coach. Huang Zaixian had already left the ice rink and disappeared.

At this time, the final score can be calculated.Everyone raised their heads and looked at the big screen in unison.

Cheng Sen said just now that the South Korean team gave them two big gifts, which is actually not accurate.

It should be said that the South Korean team gave three big gifts to the Chinese team.

Originally, Yin Canyu and Huang Zaixian had steadily won the gold and silver medals, but because of their coquettish maneuvers, they gave up to Gu Ran and Chi Lang.

The most important thing is that at the end of this five-person final, the referee gave a penalty - Huang Zaixian pushed Yin Chanyu, which was considered to be a very dangerous action, which would cause injuries to the athletes.Not only was the result of this game "PEN" off, but he was also given a yellow card!

In the previous game, he had already obtained a topaz card, and now two yellows have turned into one red, ending his World Cup match early.

In other words, there is a men's 5000-meter relay at the end, and Huang Jae-hyun can no longer represent the Korean team in the game! ! !

Although I knew it would be such a result, it was a surprise to pick up a gold and silver medal all of a sudden. Gu Ran and Chi Lang hugged each other happily like two idiots.

The two circled around and returned to the coach's bench.Seeing Cheng Sen, Chi Lang asked, "Do I count as a super goose completing the task?"

Cheng Sen nodded: "Well, you are lucky."

Gu Ran stretched out her finger and gestured in front of Xu Qing: "This is my third gold medal, so it's considered an excess."

Xu Qing smiled and said: "Forget it! Of course it does. I will reward you to go back and write a post-match summary."

"..."

"Okay, you two sit down and rest for a while, there will be a relay later."

Liu Fei was originally sitting next to Gao Ziyi, but when he saw Gu Ran coming back, he consciously moved his seat for the younger brother.

Gu Ran said "That's so embarrassing", but she was not polite to him at all, and sat down next to Gao Ziyi.

Gao Ziyi took his down jacket from the chair behind, and put it on him casually: "Don't catch a cold."

At this time, the team doctor came over and gave him a hand: "Just relax."

Until now, Gu Ran's scalp tingles when she hears "relax".

But he has participated in two games this morning, and his muscles are indeed a little tense.

So, I went to the side with the team doctor and found an open space, where I could lay down on a yoga mat.

Before leaving, he handed his skates to the equipment engineer: "The front is a little loose, please help me adjust it."

Adjusting the position of the skates is common in short-track speed skating competitions. The equipment technician has rich experience and can fix it in two or three strokes.

The team doctor here quickly loosened his calf muscles. The pain is still painful, but after such a long time, Gu Ran has gotten used to it.

He is now the team's treasure, and everyone will focus on him first. In the last relay race, the South Korean team lost Huang Jae-hyun, a strong player, and the other three teams were all eyeing this gold medal.

In the World Cup competition, the single event mainly determines the world ranking, and the relay race is equivalent to the qualifiers for the World Short Track Speed ​​Skating Championships.

Therefore, each team pays special attention to the three relay races.

For the women's team, although the Chinese team entered Group A of the final, they only took No.4 in the end.South Korea is first, Canada is second, and Italy is third.

The men's team entered the final group A with four teams from China, South Korea, Canada and the United States.

Because Huang Zaixianxi raised the red card, the South Korean team had to make personnel adjustments. The 5000m men's relay allows 5 athletes to sign up.In addition to Yin Chanyu, Huang Jaexian, Lee Inhyuk and Kim Xuzhe, the South Korean team also has a young player named Guo Chengjun, who has just turned 16 years old.

The kid only registered for the 500-meter single event, and was eliminated in the quarter-finals.He participated in both the men's 5000m preliminaries and the semi-finals. Their coach took him out mainly to exercise, and he didn't plan to let him skate in the finals.

Originally, after the South Korean team entered the finals, this kid had already completed his mission, but now, he had to step up again.

Everyone is not familiar with this young Korean player. Judging from his individual results, his strength seems to be not very good, and it seems that there is nothing to fear.

But Cheng Sen and Xu Qing didn't think so.Before the inspection, he specially called four people to his side, and said: "The South Korean team is different from other teams. They have a very deep talent pool in short track speed skating. A stadium that could bring the World Cup."

"The purpose of military training is to train a rookie worthy of training. Then, it proves that this rookie has already achieved good strength in their country."

Xu Qing added: "The key is that they have their own set of rules for who enters the semi-finals and who goes out. This has nothing to do with strength. So don't take it lightly just because others failed to enter the semi-finals in the 500m. How should we skate? How to skate, don't be influenced by others."

"understand!"

When walking towards the inspection area, Chi Lang leaned into Gu Ran's ear and said, "No matter how strong he is, he can't beat Huang Zaixian."

Gu Ran twitched the corner of her mouth: "Being stronger than you is enough."

"Gu Xiaoran, you are questioning me."

Gu Ran nodded: "That's right, I just questioned you."

Chi Lang shook his shoulders and bent his elbows to show off his full and bulging biceps: "I can't wait anymore, I want to fight to the death with Koreans... not only Koreans, but also Canadians and Americans."

Gu Ran heheed twice: "There is no need for a fight to the death."

Chi Lang: "..."

The author has something to say: Reporter: What do you think of the Korean team falling together?

Gu Xiaoran: I thought they were playing me, but I didn't expect it to be true.
