Everyone in the Chinese team returned to the Chinese team lounge as soon as possible. There were still twenty minutes left before Group A of the mixed relay finals. Qu Chunyu and Li Yuang, who fought continuously, even received massages from the team doctor while listening to Jin Shantai's arrangements.
Jin Shantai held the tactical board and talked about the opponent's skating style while arranging the final lineup...
After Jin Shantai finished speaking, Li Yuang stood up and clapped his hands, waiting for everyone to focus on him. He then said: "Well...my aunt gave me a video and said it was a secret weapon to help us win the gold medal. She asked me to show it to everyone before the mixed relay finals."
After getting Jin Shantai's permission, Li Yuang took the mobile phone from Li Wenwu and cast the video on the TV in the lounge.
The TV screen went black, and then a line of white words jumped up:
"If this road is full of regrets, will you still slip?"
The scene turned to show Wu Dajing being interviewed.
“Can you make the short track speed skating venue cleaner?”
"Although I am a participant, I can't understand short circuits more and more."
"Actually... I really want to enter the finals... and then... win this Olympic gold medal!"
"..."
Familiar pictures, familiar faces, familiar conversations... This is... the swearing-in meeting at the beginning of the bj cycle!
Except for Lin Xiaojun who is still in good condition, everyone else is dreaming back to 2018! Everyone was looking intently at the picture on the TV. Rewatching the video of that swearing-in meeting again, the blood in everyone's hearts was ignited again!
At the end of the video, Wang Meng stood up and took the oath.
"I, Wang Meng, hereby swear an oath!"
The sound in the video stopped suddenly. It was obvious that Wang Meng deleted everyone's oaths! However, everyone still shouted in a tacit understanding: "I xxx hereby swear an oath!"
"In the 2022bj Winter Olympics, a new journey, new history, and new miracles will be started by us!"
"us!"
"We will eventually create greatness!"
Even Lin Xiaojun, who had never experienced it before, was infected by the atmosphere and shouted along with his teammates in confusion!
I have worked hard, sacrificed, shed tears, and been injured... now it's time to achieve results!
The comrades who once watched the video together all fell on the road to the BJ Winter Olympics.
Come on stage, not for yourself!
We represent the Chinese short track speed skating team! It also represents the spirit of Chinese short track speed skating!
No one can stop the Chinese short track speed skating team!
…
After the mixed relay final group B, the four teams from the final group A appeared!
"Next will be the mixed relay final group A, together, the Canadian team! Florence, Jin Buting, Dubois, and Pierre!"
"Second lane, Italian team Fontana, Valcepina, Pietro, Cassinelli"
"Three lanes, Hungarian team, Pietra, Zofia, Liu Shao'ang and Liu Shaolin!"
"Four Roads, Chinese team, Fan Kexin, Qu Chunyu, Li Yuang and Wu Dajing!"
Several members of the Chinese team followed the on-site DJ's prompts and came to the display board to take a group photo before the finals.
Zhang Yuting and Lin Xiaojun stood in the middle of the team wearing white down jackets, and the other four people lined up from left to right in order of bat.
The six Chinese short track speed skating mixed relay players pointed to the five-star red flag on their chests and then made a "1" sign to the camera!
CCTV cameras were following the Chinese team as they prepared to film their training on the ice. However, at the entrance of the ice rink, Li Yuang did not go on the ice with Wu Dajing but diverted to the auditorium.
"Li Yuang didn't go on the ice. Why did he go to the auditorium?"
Wang Meng did not answer Huang Jianxiang's question. She also wondered what Li Yuang was up to!
When the audience saw Li Yuang walking towards them, they all shouted excitedly, "Come on!" Even Li Yuang's fans screamed!
Sun Yuanzhi, Yang Yucai, and Li Ke looked at Li Yuang at a loss!
Under Li Yuang's reminder and Sun Yuanzhi's gaze... Yang Yucai and Li Ke took out a simple wooden box from their bags. After opening the box, a brand new five-star red flag was neatly stacked in it!
Yang Yucai handed the national flag to Li Yuang!
Li Yuang waved a few times, and then he went on the ice holding the national flag! Under the watchful eyes of Kim Sun-tae and Ahn Hyun-soo, the national flag was hung directly in front of the Chinese coaching staff!
In an instant, the audience exploded! The screams and shouts are endless!
Hang the flag before the game? !
So crazy! This is the Li Yuang they like!
Li Yuang is never afraid of making a big fuss, just afraid of not making a big fuss!
No one expected that Li Yuang, who had been honest all night, would hang out the national flag directly before the last game and the most critical game!
Li Yuang is crazy! is crazy! Still crazy?
If there are still people who can't understand Li Yuang's intention of hanging the flag before the game, then look at the "handling" gesture he is making now, and you will know that Li Yuang is already announcing the gold medal in this game!
Frivolous? Arrogant? Or act recklessly?
Doesn't he know that once he fails to win the gold medal... he will be in doom and gloom, and will be criticized by netizens until he retires, and will be punished by the winter management center?
Jin Shantai naturally recognized this flag and knew that it had special meaning for Li Yuang! The moment Li Yuang took over the national flag from the audience, the outcome was determined and unchangeable!
The flag has been hoisted! This is China’s ice rink, a place we defend to the death!
In the Midong live broadcast room, Wang Meng recognized Yang Yucai and said, "This national flag has a great origin!"
Later, Wang Meng introduced the unfair treatment Li Yuang received at the Seoul Station in the 2018-2019 season. The Chinese audience at the scene performed the "most special flag-raising ceremony" to cheer up Li Yuang!
She knew that Li Yuang had made an agreement with Yang Yucai to bring this flag to the BJ Winter Olympics.
Now, as an athlete, he represents China on the stage of the Winter Olympics and on the ice rink of the mixed relay final!
As a fan of the Chinese short track speed skating team, he came to the Winter Olympics auditorium and used his own actions to explain his love!
Huang Jianxiang on the side was already extremely shocked. He did not expect that short track speed skating in a small venue would have such an explosive scene! I didn’t expect that Li Yuang would dare to hang the national flag before the game!
There are too many contingencies in competitive sports! Bolt, even when he was at his peak and invincible, never draped the national flag before a game!
Huang Jianxiang was silent for a long time, and finally said: "This... this, Li Yuang is trying to attract hatred..."
"This kid is really... pretending to be a big one! This is much more arrogant than yesterday's ignition..."
Seeing that Wang Meng was still laughing, Huang Jianxiang said directly: "You are still laughing...Li Yuang is provoking the other three teams! The Chinese team will be targeted by them!"
against?
Wang Meng smiled "haha" and said nonchalantly: "It's no big deal. The Winter Olympics Organizing Committee arranged the mixed relay on the first competition day. The purpose is self-evident! Everyone knows that the Chinese short track speed skating team will definitely Fight for this gold medal...so no matter what Li Yuang does, he will be targeted!"
Huang Jianxiang still felt something was wrong: "But... this is too arrogant! Aren't you afraid of special treatment from the referee team?"
"What are you afraid of... We just need to be clean and be ourselves!"
…
On the rostrum of the first body, Zhong Wen, the head of the Chinese delegation at the bj Winter Olympics, saw Li Yuang making a "take it" gesture, and couldn't help but think of the 5000-meter relay in Pyeongchang. It was this kid who was the first to shout "Team China!" to improve. Team momentum!
"Haha...this kid creates a first-rate atmosphere!"
Director Wang next to Zhong Wen stiffened when he heard this... Atmosphere? This is causing trouble! How can you do such nonsense!
When Zhong Wen saw that Director Wang looked bad, he immediately said: "Old Wang, this kid has caused you a lot of trouble..."
When Director Wang heard this, he immediately complained: "Zhong Bureau...you don't know how much trouble this kid can cause. He is a hot search topic every day. We in the Winter Management Center are all scolded along with him."
In fact, Director Wang has always been relatively tolerant of Li Yuang. It was only after Wang Meng was "fucked" by him that Director Wang felt that Li Yuang's character needed to be tempered.
Zhong Wen asked back: "Okay, you got the advantage and behaved... isn't the short track speed skating the one that benefits most from this kid's mischief? The most popular event in the Winter Olympics now is the short track!"
Director Wang saw Zhongwen's love for Li Yuang, and worried that his expectations were too high, he quickly said: "That's true, although this kid is messing around, his results are still good... It's just that his status has been ups and downs this year. Fortunately, several old team members are here and can do it." Give it a try... In the next term, he should be able to take the lead."
Zhong Wen said thoughtfully: "The next one? I think this one will be almost the same..."
Zhong Wen has read the information. In the entire four-year bj cycle, the person who won the most gold medals for the short track speed skating team was Li Yuang!
…
On the field, other players protested to the referee Li Yuang's behavior of hoisting the national flag in advance.
Peter thought about it for a long time, but he didn't expect that the rules did not allow hanging the national flag in advance...it seemed that it was not allowed to cover the billboards...but this was the BJ Winter Olympics, where did the billboards come from?
Li Yuang used his own national flag to cover his Winter Olympics logo. What did he do to others?
In the end, the referee Peter could only end the matter by saying, "It will be reported to the isu arbitration tribunal."
The incident was quickly calmed down, and the players were preparing carefully, with only the touch of Chinese red hanging on the fence!
"go to the start."
Following the starter's instructions, all the runners from the four teams came to the starting line. The audience at the Capital Gymnasium also held their breath, preparing to welcome the birth of the first gold medal in this venue!
The Chinese audience at the scene focused on the most unorthodox Fan Kexin!
Due to the worst results in the semi-finals, the Chinese team could only be ranked in the fourth lane. Under such circumstances, the start may determine the outcome of the game! Everyone is looking forward to a perfect start for the Chinese team!
At this time, Fan Kexin, the most outsider, looked at the Chinese red on the sidelines, and his mind was filled with the video just now.
"Actually... I really want to enter the finals... and then... win this Olympic gold medal!"
Twelve years, three Winter Olympics!
Her failure to win the 500-meter championship at the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics is an eternal pain for her... Today, four years later, she can clearly feel the decline in her physical function!
She was not sure of winning the 500-meter gold medal, but now, at this moment! She is bound to win the mixed relay gold medal!
Fan Kexin's eyes burst out with dazzling light, staring intently at the first bend!
"ready?"
"Peng!" The game begins!
"Bang!" "Bang!" "Bang!"
Fan Kexin! Fan Kexin of the Four-Way Chinese Team stood out from the four with his super focus and explosive power!
Facing the curve, she didn't flinch and cut directly inside to be the first to enter the curve!
Valcepina, the second lane Italian player, also overtook the Italian player and entered the corner for the second time, but she forced her way into the corner and took Florence with her body.
Florence lost her balance, and she subconsciously grabbed forward to keep her balance. But she missed the opportunity and fell onto the ice with a "Winter" sound. The Hungarian player behind her couldn't dodge and fell down...
Fan Kexin and Valcepina didn't know what was happening behind them. They came out of the corner and competed with each other. After sliding halfway down the straight, they heard the referee's whistle and knew they had to start again...
Fan Kexin was relaxing one of her leg muscles while warming up. She was thinking... The game was rematched, and she had to re-formulate her starting strategy! What a pity just now! Starting from the four lanes, be the first to turn in!
Even Fan Kexin couldn't promise to do such a thing again!
The other three members of the Chinese team also expressed their support to her with firm eyes! No one came forward to disturb Fan Kexin!
Valcepina, Florence and Pietra sat on the fence and checked the skates with the help of the equipment coach! This is allowed by the rules. In the event of a collision and rematch, players from all countries can check their skates.
In such an important game, every detail will not be spared!
On the ice rink, the tense atmosphere did not slow down because of the rematch, but became even more tense!
Soon, at the referee’s signal, the four players returned to the starting line.
Fan Kexin, who was standing in the fourth lane, was still breathing heavily. The start just now wasted too much energy...
"Team China! Come on!"
Hearing the cheers from the audience, Fan Kexin smiled... She was not fighting alone in the mixed relay, she was fighting as a team!
"Peng!" The game starts again!
"Bang!" "Bang!" Fan Kexin quickly added two more strokes and got stuck in front of the Hungarian player Pietra who entered the corner third.
Valcepina, the Italian player in the second lane, once again surpassed the Canadian team in the first lane. This time, there was no Fan Kexin to compete with her, and the Italian team entered the corner first!
Perhaps due to the impact of the fall on the ice just now, the four skaters in the same group skated very steadily. They all accelerated according to their own rhythm, and no one tried to surpass them!
After two and a half laps, the four teams took over at the same time. The Chinese team obviously had a better understanding of handing over the baton than other teams. However, when Qu Chunyu used the thrust to accelerate, he was delayed by Canada's Jin Buting. Fortunately, there was no collision.
One stick, Fan Kexin of the Chinese team is the strong point! Her strength is obviously superior to the other three. Due to the rematch, the Chinese team was unable to bring out this strong point, which had a great impact on the Chinese team's results!
The Chinese team is still in the third position. The top two are Italy's Fontana and Canada's Jin Buting!
