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

The two looked at each other, Gu Ran said "go", and started to split up.

He first picked up a pink apricot flower that was in full bloom and had fallen from the branch from the treetop, and circled around to come behind Chi Lang.

Chi Dali was wearing earphones and was listening to his tomb robbery novel intently. Suddenly, Gu Ran hugged him from behind, which made him tremble with fright, his little heart beating wildly.

Gu Ran said, "Don't move! There's a bee on your ear, and your face is stinging and swollen."

A swollen face isn't handsome anymore, so Chi Lang quickly stood up obediently, waiting for Gu Ran to chase away the little bees for him.

Gu Ran raised her hand, brushed his ear, suddenly pinched his chin, and forced his face to the front: "Smile."

Shen Jia stood in front of them, holding his mobile phone at Chi Lang's face.

Chi Lang has always thought that he is a handsome guy who has no dead ends. A handsome guy is never afraid of taking pictures with his face, so he grinned and showed a slightly confused smile.

Gu Ran anxiously asked: "Did you take a picture, did you take a picture?"

Shen Jialian pressed the shutter several times: "Okay, okay, come and have a look!"

Chi Lang didn't know what they were doing, the novel was hearing the tense and exciting critical moment, he didn't care about those two, and devoted himself to the plot.

Gu Ran hurried over to take a look, expressed her satisfaction, and gave Shen Jia a thumbs up: "The technique is good!"

Gu Ran posted the photo in the group, and their team's WeChat group exploded immediately.Everyone is hahahahahahaha, Ait Chi Lang is the one who can't be bothered to watch the excitement.

Chi Lang only felt that the phone was vibrating suddenly, and when he clicked on it, he saw a photo at first glance, which looked a little familiar, and he clicked on the big picture to see: "Damn it! Gu Xiaoran, your skin is itchy, aren't you? "

In the photo, under the apricot tree, there is a sharp-edged and sharp-cut guy with a flat head, a pink flower in his ear, and a shy smile in front of the camera. The nostrils are like flowers.

Chi Lang wanted to cry, but frantically swiped the emoticons in the group: "Deleted, deleted, Gu Xiaoran, you deleted it for me."

"I do not!"

Chi Lang chased after him in two or three steps, trying to snatch his mobile phone: "I am tall and majestic, and my sunny and handsome image is ruined in your hands."

At this time, many people had gathered around to watch the fun, and several girls laughed together.

Gu Ran desperately protected her mobile phone: "Tall and Wei'an? Sunny and handsome? These have nothing to do with you. You just hide under the quilt in the middle of the night, reading romance novels and humming."

This is simply too graphic. Hearing the words "romance novel" and "嘤嘤嘤", the girls around, especially the girls on the figure skating side, laughed like crazy.

Chi Lang's image was completely destroyed in Gu Ran's hands.In the past, when I met a young lady on the way to training, people would look at him more and praise him as a short-track speed skating boy, but now I just want to laugh when I see him.

"Alas..." Chi Dali sighed, secretly hoping that the figure skating team would have some new young ladies for the next training camp.

In front of them, they were walking and playing, taking pictures, sharing snacks, and chasing and playing. It was really like a spring outing.

During the period, there is also a bluestone slab tree-lined path, surrounded by a large bamboo forest, with undulating mountains in the distance, and a temple can be vaguely seen, surrounded by green smoke, full of artistic conception.

Everyone lost track of the time as they played. It had been two hours since they came out, and they had only traveled one-third of the distance.

For the next two-thirds of the journey, half of the distance has to be climbed, and the remaining half of the gravel road is much more difficult than the first third.

As a result, some people have quickened their pace, and some people are still walking and playing behind.Gradually, everyone dispersed one after another.

Gu Ran belonged to the group that was rushing ahead. He was originally the king of roll kings, and he never lay down flat.

Near noon, the sun also rose above the head, and the weather became hot. Gu Ran took off his coat and tied it on the strap of his schoolbag.

When I first climbed up the mountain, I felt fine. Later, Chi Lang probably listened to the tomb robbery novels, and ran up as if there were really zongzi chasing him.

He was at the forefront among the four, once the speed was raised, the people behind could only keep up.

Gao Ziyi's stamina has always been beyond ordinary people, and he walked behind him without breathing.

Gu Ran was panting a bit, fine beads of sweat had already soaked on her forehead, but she was still able to keep up.

He was scolding Chi Lang in his heart for beating zombie blood, and even dogs couldn't keep up with him when he ran.Suddenly, I felt like I was hanging on the schoolbag and sank, as if a thousand gold weight had dropped.

Looking back, there was no daughter, but more than 100 catties—Meng Yuqiao was pulling his clothes hanging on the strap of his schoolbag, with his head buried, walking with difficulty.

Gu Ran looked down from the top, just in time to see a large water stain on his T-shirt.

Da Qiao has always been a minimalist. He wears a white T-shirt when he goes out, puts his mobile phone in his trouser pocket, and doesn't even take a bottle of mineral water.

Just like that, is he still so tired?

After all, having been teammates for a year, everyone already knows each other well.Gu Ran was too clear about his physical condition.It's not surprising to be so tired.

But he was pulling Gu Ran's clothes like this. When Gu Ran was climbing the mountain, it was like dragging him forward. If he didn't pay attention, he would lean back and almost fell.

So, Gu Ran waved at him: "Come on, sister Qiao, give me your hand."

Meng Yuqiao slapped the back of his hand, struggled for a moment, then put her hand into his palm, and was led forward by him.

"little bastard!"

Gu Ran panted and smiled: "You still scold me? If I hadn't left you, I would have thrown you here. Look around, in the wilderness, maybe there are wolves at night."

What kind of wilderness is this, there are houses nearby, and there is a temple in the mountains, where did the wolf come from?

Meng Yuqiao said: "Before dark, I crawled back even if I climbed."

Gu Ran smiled and said, "Then use both hands and feet, climb up and show me?"

"..."

Meng Yuqiao's hands were still held by him, relying on him to climb the mountain, she was too tired to speak, and didn't bother to argue with him.

Although it is difficult to go up the mountain, it is much easier to walk down the mountain.There is also a small river beside the road.

Gao Ziyi picked up a stone at random, held it flat in his hand, and then threw it with force. The stone flew against the water surface, bounced up after touching the water surface and continued to move forward, continuously bouncing forward on the water surface until finally falling into the water.

This skill looked very cool, and the other three people also bent down to pick stones and tried it, but none of them succeeded.

Gao Ziyi demonstrated it to them again, explaining while demonstrating: "Choose this flat stone, and when throwing it out, it should be flat and fast, so that the stone can spin."

Gu Ran suddenly realized: "I understand."

Chi Lang asked: "What do you know?"

Gu Ran explained to them: "According to the principle of fluid mechanics, the greater the flow rate, the lower the pressure. The density of stones is higher than that of water. When they pass over the water surface, they drive the water below them to flow quickly in a very short time, thus increasing the pressure. decrease, and the water below is still, and the pressure generated is strong. In this way, the water exerts a pressure on the stone. When the pressure is greater than the gravity of the stone, the stone will bounce up. After repeating several times , the pressure is gradually less than the gravity, and the stone will fall down."

"So, throwing the stone flat can rotate better, and ensure that the force is forward. The faster the rotation, the more it can drive the flow of water and the more jumps."

The three of them stared at him dumbfounded.Gao Ziyi twitched the corner of his mouth: "Hasn't Xiaoran finished her homework this week?"

Chi Lang twitched the corner of his mouth, and sent out a soul-like torture: "Then why can't you throw this effect?"

Gu Ran pointed to her temple: "The brain has mastered it, but the hands have not yet mastered it."

Meng Yuqiao glanced at the phone: "Let's go."

The four of them were the first batch to come back. After walking more than 20 kilometers, Gao Ziyi seemed to be okay.

Chi Lang is also okay, he is a little tired, but he can persist.

Gu Ran and Meng Yuqiao, a pair of suffering brothers, sat back to back under the big tree, panting for a long time with red faces.

Xu Qing handed them both a bottle of mineral water: "The weather is getting warmer."

Gu Ran said: "The wind is sunny, the birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant."

Xu Qing looked at him kindly: "It's time to run the 5000 meters."

"..."

The vegetarian food in the temple tasted like meat, it was so delicious, Gu Ran ate three bowls of rice in one go, gobbling it.

Although the spring outing was a bit tiring, the goal of physical training was achieved, and everyone went out to play for a day, and the coaches and team members were quite satisfied.

On the way back, a group of energetic youngsters all fell asleep on the bus, which was more tiring than training all day.

When getting out of the car, Gu Ran was still sleepy, but she didn't miss a moment when she returned to her room. She sat in front of the desk, opened the exercises, and started to study the questions.

In the evening, Chi Lang and Shen Jia came to him with their mobile phones in their hands to open the hack, and saw that he had finished a test paper.

The two couldn't help but sigh with emotion - this is the self-cultivation of the king of introversion, incomparable, really incomparable.

Three people teamed up for a game, Shen Jia played a support, and has been connected with Gu Ran, a shooter. Others team up, they are developing, others are gank, they are developing, others are fighting against the wild, they are still developing, and the opponent is almost pushed to the high ground , he is still developing.

Shen Jia couldn't help calling him: "Xiaoran..."

"Go," Gu Ran interrupted him, "hit Papa Hong."

Even the two matched passers-by couldn't help spitting them both, and then Gu Ran put on a good Liushen costume, took the buff and led Shen Jia to get a pentakill in a team battle, pushed to the high ground, and turned the tables !

Shen Jia screamed from the side: "Xiaoran, you are too good!!!"

Chi Lang said, "This is his basic operation."

After he came out, the passer-by who sprayed him just now even invited him to form a team, but Gu Ran directly refused.

However, the time is limited, and the anti-addiction will be turned on again after an hour.Shen Jia still failed to become the king, and made an appointment to fight again next week.

Gu Ran went to the toilet, came back and took a drink of water, sat down and opened the English textbook again.

Chi Lang: "..."

Shen Jia: "..."

God, this is a way out and no one is left!

After the training ended the next day, Cheng Sen left a few young players behind.

The new coach of the national youth team approached Cheng Sen, hoping that the age-appropriate members of the national team could participate in this year's World Youth Championship. The leaders of the National Winter Management Center also asked Cheng Sen to cooperate fully.

When Cheng Sen notified them of this matter, Gu Ran figured out that he was only 16 years old this year, and according to the requirements of the International Skating Federation for the World Youth Championship, including this one, he could participate in at least four more.

With his current strength, participating in youth competitions feels a bit bullying.

Gu Ran said, "Why don't I let it go and leave the opportunity to others?"

Chi Lang interrupted: "That's right, let me go, I still want to win two individual gold medals in the World Youth Championship."

Cheng Sen told him to stay aside, and then said to Gu Ran: "I'm not asking for your opinion, I'm just letting you know. This is the arrangement of the leader. If you have an idea, you can go to the leader yourself to respond."

How dare Gu Ran have any ideas, he just said casually, the team arranged for him to participate in the competition, he naturally obeyed unconditionally.

Xu Qing said: "Didn't you always want to report 1500 meters, this is a good opportunity."

Having said that, Gu Ran was a little bit looking forward to it.

"You can also go out and see what the level of athletes of the same age in other countries is now. These are your main competitors in the next few years."

"Participating in more competitions is naturally a good thing, as long as you don't get injured."

Several people nodded and agreed, and set off for training in Shanghai two days later.

This is Gu Ran's second time participating in the World Youth Championship, and several new players have to call him brother, but he is still the youngest player in the team.

This time the World Youth Championship was held in South Korea, Gu Ran thought he could meet Lin Jiaxi again, but when he met the Canadian team, he only saw the coach who looked like Iron Man, not Lin Jiaxi.

He texted the other party: "Are you over the age limit for the World Youth Championship?"

Lin Jiaxi replied to him: "No, I am only 17 years old this year."

Gu Ran asked: "Then why didn't you come to the competition?"

Lin Jiaxi said: "I have quit the Canadian national team."

"Really!" Gu Ran was a little disappointed at not being able to meet her good friend, but she became excited again when she heard this, "So you will be coming to China soon?"

"Not so fast, there are still many procedures to go."

Gu Ran posted an emoji of rubbing her hands: "I'm looking forward to it now."

"Me too!"

South Korea's bid to host the World Youth Championship is really not flattering. The ice surface is in extremely bad condition. During the game, many players were in various situations. How important is a good ice rink to excellent skating results.

But the Koreans seem to have been used to this field for a long time. The other athletes' inability to adapt has become their advantage.

I have to say that I haven't seen you for two months. Young Korean players like Choi Ji-eun, Lee In-hyuk, Kwak Seung-joon, and Kim Xu-cheol are improving really fast.Their team also had a new star named Zheng Minyu, who beat Gao Ziyi in the semifinals and came first in the group.

Gu Ran wasn't in the same group as them, but it wasn't hard to see that although Gao Ziyi put in a lot of effort and didn't seriously compete with him for the first place in the group in the end, this kid is definitely not weak.Although it may be a little worse than Yin Canyu, it is definitely better than that Jin Xuzhe.

The Korean team's schedule is that there is no game in the morning, and the games are placed in the afternoon and evening.On the second match day, Gu Ran was at night.Qualifying in the afternoon and finals in the evening.

Short track speed skating is a very popular ice event in South Korea, and the venues that can accommodate nearly 2000 people are full.

They played at home, and the atmosphere was so lively.Friendly or not, you can feel it very clearly.

Their own athletes came first, and the shouts and cheers could blow off the roof of the arena.

Athletes from other countries overwhelmed South Korean athletes to take the first place. Listening carefully, you can even hear boos from Korean audiences.

The number one country in short track speed skating, from the coaches to the players to the audience, everyone is capable, and it really lives up to its reputation.

Gu Ran first had to participate in the 500-meter final. Apart from him, Chi Lang also entered the final. Their opponents were also two Koreans, Lee In-hyuk and Guo Chengjun.

At the start of the race, Gu Ran didn't save face for them, and took the first place without hesitation.

On such a bad venue, it is actually risky to lead the skater, and it is not easy to achieve results.On the contrary, because he blocked most of the air resistance in front, the people behind were more energy efficient.

However, this is a 500-meter race, relying on absolute speed and explosive power, just rushing is right, and there is no need to consider physical distribution at all.

The next three people, including Chi Lang, would not be able to catch up even if they wanted to chase him, let alone looking for opportunities to overtake him.

This is absolute speed suppression, what route, what confrontation, there is no need to think about it.As long as he doesn't fall himself, there is no suspense for the champion.

In the end, Gu Ran's score was 40 in 481 seconds, and he was a little surprised when he saw it.

Because the ice surface of this field is very poor, he thought that he could not break his own competition record. Unexpectedly, the eye-catching "MR" logo was still followed by the result, indicating that he broke the men's 500-meter competition record of the World Youth Championship for the third time. .

His score last year was 40 seconds. Although he only improved by 507 seconds, this is also a breakthrough, which is very exciting.

In the end, Korean Lee In-hyuk took second place, and Chi Lang won No.3.

After the game, he and Chi Lang hugged and celebrated, and the latter smiled in his ear: "Is this record your family's? Break it if you want."

"That's right, it's not my family."

In the territory of the Koreans, the gold medal in the hands of the Korean team was taken away, and the atmosphere in the stands can be imagined.

Gu Ran didn't need to look back, he already felt countless unfriendly, even hateful eyes rushing towards him.

However, the more they couldn't afford to lose, the happier Gu Ran was.

After a short break, it was the final of the 1500.

This is the first time that Gu Ran has signed up for the 1500 competition in an international competition, and she has successfully entered the final.

In the final, he was ranked second, the first on the left was the Korean Zheng Minyu, the right was Gao Ziyi, the fourth was Jin Xuzhe, the fifth was the Russian player, and the sixth was the American player.

When Gu Ran started running, he didn't compete with them at all, and took a middle position. In front were the Americans and Russians, and then Jin Xuzhe.

He was fourth, Gao Ziyi was behind him, and Zheng Minyu was last.

It seems that smart people know that it is not a good thing to lead the slip under such circumstances.

After skating like this for nine laps, Jin Xuzhe has surpassed the first place, followed by Americans and Russians.

At this time, Gao Ziyi started to move, and he passed the first place with just one corner.

Gu Ran wasn't in a hurry yet, she wobbled in the bottom two place, and there were three laps left in the race.

That Jung Min Woo is still at the end.
