At the entrance of the ice rink, the players from the four teams participating in the finals were all ready and waiting to play, and their teammates were standing next to them.
"Dundun, is your talent skill activated?"
"You were so confident just now, don't you have to rely on me in the end?" Bing Dundun couldn't help complaining in her heart, "No, the talent skills can only be activated when playing. Don't worry, Wu Dajing will definitely activate them in this game, and his skills still have time. not end yet."
"Of course I know that the Wu Da Competition buff is not over yet, the key is me! I can't really be outdone by that Ziwei, right?"
Bing Dundun rolled her eyes: "Tsk, Ziwei doesn't have the buff blessing, it's because she is very strong!"
"Hey, is he younger than me? Is he as cool as me? You can't just pick someone off the street to choose a host. I must be particularly good to be chosen, right?"
"Well, you are indeed much better than him in one aspect."
"What aspect?"
"cheeky!"
However, Li Yuang was right about one thing. He was able to become a host because of his ice sense value of 20.
The six abilities of short track speed skating can be improved through training and experience, but the ice feeling is innate. Some people may be lucky enough to break through the bottleneck during long-term training and achieve a small improvement in ice feeling, but it is only a small amount and it is impossible to reach 20 in any case.
In other words, an ice feel value of 20 is the upper limit for short track speed skaters. This is talent.

"Since the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, we have been discussing on what day the first gold medal will appear and in which event it will appear. In the end, we guessed the event correctly, but not the time. No one expected that we would be so far away from the Olympics. There are only three days left until the closing ceremony, and we won this precious gold medal on the last competition day of short track speed skating!”
"Yes! Short track speed skating finally gave us this surprise!"
"Okay, audience friends! We see that the Chinese short track speed skating team has already taken the field to warm up, and now the camera has been shown to the Chinese athletes on the field."
"Wu Dajing, Han Tianyu, Li Yuang, Chen Dequan."
At this time, in the Chinese team's rest area, Xu Hongzhi quietly looked at the four teammates on the court.
"Please, everything depends on you!" He clenched his hands and prayed in his heart.
Xu Hongzhi, a member of the men's 5,000-meter relay of the Chinese short track speed skating team. Due to eligibility issues, he could only participate in the 5,000-meter relay event, and his medal dream could only be realized in the 5,000-meter relay.
Before the 5,000-meter relay roster was finalized, Xu Hongzhi told the team that he wanted to play in the final.
Later, the assistant coach said to him, "Hongzhi, I can understand your mood! Although the finals attract a lot of attention, the semi-finals are more important. If you can't pass the semi-finals, how can you participate in the finals? The team finally decided to let Your participation in the semi-finals is not only a trust in you, but also a test for you. I believe you will not let us down!"
Xu Hongzhi accepted the team's arrangement unconditionally because he is a member of the Chinese short track speed skating team. In the semi-finals, he sprinted with all his strength and qualified for the Chinese team to qualify for Group A of the finals. Although after the whole game, few people remembered his name, and no one even knew him.
In the men's 5000-meter relay, each team sends four members to participate, but five members can sign up for this event, which results in one member being a substitute and unable to appear. According to ISU regulations, only players who appear in the semi-finals and finals can be on the podium.
Under normal circumstances, in order to ensure that each national team will win medals, they will always have four players and one person as a substitute. In the end, when they win the medal, only four people can appear on the stage to receive the award.
Since the day the Chinese short track speed skating team was established, all members of the team have participated in the relay races, not only to ensure that they can compete for medals with all their strength, but also to ensure that everyone has a chance to stand on the podium. So in the final, the third or fourth team will choose to let the substitutes come on.
As for the order issue, it was also decided after careful consideration by the team. In addition to strength, mental quality and pressure resistance are also important indicators.
