After Li Yuang drank a bag of glucose, his body felt much better.
Regardless of everyone's dissuasion, Li Yuang took a national flag from the Chinese team's coaching staff and raised it one by one with An Kai and others and began to circle the field.
He knows that displaying the flag on the ice is every short track speed skater's dream. This relay gold medal is the first World Cup gold medal for the Ankai trio. If they can't be with them, they will definitely not show it.
Originally, Li Yuang wanted to stand in the back row like before, but An Kai and others disagreed. Helpless, Li Yuang could only stand in the most conspicuous position in the front row to receive the cheers of the audience and the reporters' photos.
After coming down from the award ceremony, Li Yuang was pulled away by a group of Chinese reporters when passing through the mixed interview area.
"Mr. Li Yuang, may I ask..."
"Li Yuang..."
"Mr. Li Yuang, everyone is discussing whether you alone are responsible for winning the gold medal. What do you think?"
When a reporter asked this question, all the reporters fell silent and waited for Li Yuang's answer.
The expressions of An Kai and the other three people all changed. Although what these reporters said was true, it would be too shameful to ask them directly in front of the three of them!
Li Yuang, who was surrounded by everyone, immediately noticed the change in the demeanor of the other three people and said immediately: "I don't agree with your statement. The 5000-meter relay is a team event. This gold medal is the result of the joint efforts of the four of us."
Li Yuang's answer was very official and very humble.
Doing more and talking less about many things is more effective than talking nonsense. Many times, Li Yuang consciously weakens his contribution to the team in front of the media. Just like every time he wins a relay event, he takes the initiative to stand in the back row.
Then again, even if Li Yuang doesn't say it, no one can deny Li Yuang's contribution to this team. The applause of the audience is the best proof!
This reporter obviously couldn't accept this statement. Instead of dryly describing Li Yuang's performance in the 5000-meter relay, he wanted to dig out some hard information. For example, Li Yuang was dissatisfied with his teammates. Such hard information can make their news click. The rate skyrocketed.
"Eternal God Emperor"
He continued to ask relentlessly: "We have counted that the Chinese team surpassed 20 times in the game, and you alone contributed 15 times. Doesn't this explain the problem?"
"The number of overtakes does not represent everyone's contribution to the team. There are different tasks for relay projects. My task is to overtake. I just completed the tasks assigned to me by the coaching staff."
Upon hearing this, the reporter's eyes lit up and he said, "So, it's the coaching staff's fault that you slipped and fainted in the end?"
Li Yuang lowered his head and glanced at the press card on the reporter's chest. He saw "Ice and Snow World" Li Mengqun written on it. He had already sentenced the reporter to death in his heart.
He said directly: "Since you asked, I just want to explain it here. Due to the recent intensive schedule, I was exhausted in the end and almost lost this gold medal. I almost failed to live up to the expectations of my teammates and coaching staff! I will definitely strengthen my training in the summer next year. Physical training.”
…
The morning competition came to an end after the 5,000-meter relay. The 1,500-meter, 1,000-meter and second 1,500-meter finals will be held in the afternoon.
After a short break, the Chinese team returned to the Yeck Athletic Stadium again. The first competition was the women's 1500 meters. The Chinese team Li Jinyu and Li Xuan both entered the final group A. I thought that the Chinese team would cooperate well in this game. Get a good result.
As a result, Li Jinyu crossed the finish line fourth, and Li Xuan crossed the finish line last.
Fortunately, the referee determined after the game that the second-place Japanese player Yuki Kikuchi had committed a foul and his result was cancelled! Both of them improved by one place, with Li Jinyu third and Li Xuan sixth.
Next was the men's 1500m final, after the final Group B competition. Six players from Group A of the final took to the ice to warm up.
"Welcome everyone to continue watching the 2018-2019 Short Track Speed Skating World Cup Almaty. The men's 1500m final Group A will be held soon."
"In the men's 5000-meter relay event, Chinese athlete Li Yuang fell down due to lack of physical strength when crossing the line, but he still insisted on participating in the competition."
"This will be Li Yuang's last final and the last open match in 2018."
"The last two legs of the World Cup will be held in February next year in Germany and Italy respectively."
"Now is the player introduction session."
"In the first track, Liu Shaoang from Hungary; in the second track, Hwang Daehyung from South Korea; in the third track, Hungarian Burjan; in the fourth track, Chinese player Li Yuang; in the fifth track, Korean player Kim Dong-wook."
“The camera is on our country’s player Li Yuang!”
"Oh! We saw Li Yuang making a 'hold' gesture to the camera again. It seems that he is in good condition and has not been affected by the morning game at all."
"Before the start of the 500-meter final in the morning, Li Yuang also made the same gesture. Even though he made a mistake at the start and lost the opportunity, he still won the gold medal. I wonder if he will get another medal for the Chinese team in this game. !”
On the ice rink, Li Yuang "took control" again, this time just to disgust Tycoon Huang.
In this game, Li Yuang was not in good condition. After being exhausted in the morning, he had to face two Korean players and two Hungarian players in this game... Even the Chinese coaching staff was not optimistic about it, and some even It was proposed that Li Yuang give up the game.
"Peng!"
Game start!
Kim Dong-wook, a South Korean player in the fifth lane, started directly and quickly rushed up, trying to connect with Huang Daheng in position.
Burjan of the Hungarian team had the same idea. He wanted to surpass Huang Daheng and move to the second position at the beginning.
At the beginning of the game, the Korean team and the Hungarian team started a fierce competition for the position.
This actually gave Li Yuang an advantage. At the beginning, Li Yuang was half a beat behind the team!
In fact, this is a decision made by the coaching staff of the two teams after evaluation. Whether it is the Korean team or the Hungarian team coach, they all believe that the 5,000-meter relay in the morning has a greater impact on Li Yuang’s physical strength. In the 1,500-meter relay in the afternoon, Li Yuang is just going through the motions at best. That’s all.
In the end, Liu Shaoang took advantage of the pass and entered the corner first, followed closely by Huang Daheng, Burjan, and Jin Dongxu. Neither the Hungarian team nor the Korean team could connect together.
In the live broadcast room, Liu Xingyu saw Li Yuang following the team again and said: "We saw that Li Yuang returned to his most familiar skating method and followed the team at the back."
"This is a very correct choice. Only skating in the rhythm you are most familiar with is the most effortless way!"
Niu Yinhao on the side also helped: "Yes, only Li Yuang of the Chinese team advanced in this game, so the best choice is to strike later!"
