Chapter 81: The Unlucky Champion
There were three events on the second day of the competition, but the time schedule was relatively tight because not all competitors could compete at the same time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
It was still half past seven in the morning, and the transportation bus arranged by the organizing committee left on time.
The first two items of today's race: trail running and cliff descent were all held in the Dashiwei Tiankeng Scenic Area.
Dashiwei Tiankeng Group is located in Baiyan Jiaotun, Shujiao Village, Tongle Town, Leye County, only 22 kilometers away from Leye County.
Formed about 65 million years ago, the Tiankeng Group is a rare tourist wonder in the world, integrating danger, strangeness, steepness, majesty, majesty, beauty and beauty. Zhu Xuewenjiao, president of the Cave Research Association of the Geological Society of China, called the Dashiwei Tiankeng in Leye County as "Tiankeng Museum" and "World Karst Resort" after all-round investigation and demonstration.
In less than half an hour, the car has entered the boundary of Baiyan Jiaotun. According to the arrangement of the organizing committee, the contestants will start from Baiyan Jiaotun and carry out loop trail running along the designated route, and the final destination is at the gate of Dashiwei Scenic Area, with a total length of 10 kilometers. After a short adjustment and warm-up, the trail running race officially began at 8:30 a.m.
Wang Yiyuan felt that her previous self-training for this challenge was a bit of a fuss. The organizing committee's arrangements for various competitions, whether it is the intensity of the exercise or the setting of the route, are too easy. Maybe it's really just to attract more people to participate in outdoor sports, and the intensity of the competition is set to be even more amateurish than amateurish.
The time limit for trail running is 90 minutes. Wang Yiyuan easily won the women's championship with a time of 59 minutes and 32 seconds. Chen Yang also won the men's championship with a time of 52 minutes and 51 seconds.
At present, in the total points ranking, Wang Yiyuan temporarily ranks first with a total score of 40 points, Nian Shumo temporarily ranks second with a slight disadvantage of one point, and the third is a physical education teacher from Jiangxi, with a current score of exactly 30 points.
In the overall standings of the men's group, Chen Yang temporarily ranked second, with a total of 35 points. Although Wu Lin won the mountain bike event, he only scored 26 points and ranked fifth in the overall standings because of his trail running results.
Seeing the current accumulation of points, Wang Yiyuan has more confidence in herself. In the last two competitions, I have been training intensively before coming to the competition, and I should have a great chance of achieving good results. And his biggest competitor, that is, Nian Shumo, who shares a house with him, said that he rarely had the opportunity to practice cliff descent and had no confidence in this project. In this way, the final championship is likely to fall into their own hands.
Although he scoffs at the difficulty of the competition, it is always something to be proud of if he can win the championship. What's more, the final championship also has a cash prize of 10,000 yuan, and Wang Yiyuan is still happy to fight for fame and fortune.
The venue of the cliff drop was arranged on a cliff wall in the Tai Shiwei Scenic Area. This section of the knife-like cliff is almost 90 degrees perpendicular to the ground, and the height is 120 meters. When standing on the top of the cliff and looking down, many people will feel shudder.
There are hundreds of people who signed up for the amateur challenge this time, but only 56 people signed up to participate in the single event of cliff dropping. The time limit stipulated by the organizing committee is 5 minutes per person, and in order to save the competition time, two rappelling points are set up at a distance of five meters on the cliff wall, so that two people can participate at the same time.
However, when they arrived at the scene, less than 40 of the 56 people who signed up were actually willing to continue the competition. Some chose to give up because they didn't get better points in the first few competitions and basically missed the top six in the final standings, while others were simply frightened by the vertical limit.
The men's group started first. In teams of two, the competition on the cliff began. In the end, Chen Yang easily won the championship.
When it was the turn of the women's competition, according to the order of the draw, Wang Yiyuan was arranged to start in the last group.
Wang Yiyuan, who had been silently watching the competition of the players in front of her, was also calculating the time in her heart. She could feel that the competitors were not particularly familiar with downhill, and most of them were very stiff and not fast in their technical movements during the descent.
Wang Yiyuan feels that with her own level, it should not be a problem for the women's group to win the championship, even if it is compared with the men's group, her results should at least rank in the top three. It seems that the final championship is none other than himself.
Wang Yiyuan was secretly happy at the thought that she could also be on the top podium like an Olympic champion on TV, and even began to think about how to arrange the next vacation itinerary after receiving the 10,000 yuan bonus.
Finally, it was the turn of the last group, and only Wang Yiyuan was left with the contestants.
Wang Yiyuan skillfully checked the equipment provided by the organizing committee, then put on a helmet and gloves, fastened a seat belt, buckled the main waist buckle, and waited for the staff of the organizing committee to confirm the inspection again, then stood on the edge of the cliff, ready to go.
After taking a deep breath, Wang Yiyuan put her right hand behind her waist, held the static rope tightly, and her left hand lightly held the rope above the figure-eight buckle to maintain balance, and then slowly leaned back to form an angle of about 60 degrees with the cliff, bent her legs slightly into a sitting position, and then began to descend along the cliff.
The preparation is sufficient, and Wang Yiyuan has mastered the technical movements and essentials of the decline very well, even if it is considered from a professional perspective, there are no major flaws.
Wang Yiyuan's right hand controls the retraction and release of the static rope, the descent process is very stable, and the ground is getting closer and closer, and when the success is in sight, the accident happened - the static rope is stuck!
Originally, the organizing committee chose this place as the competition site for the downhill event, which was also carefully investigated. The local cliff wall is relatively intact and is less prone to falling gravel and posing danger to the contestants.
But Wang Yiyuan's luck was so "good", but when she was competing, gravel fell from above. The falling gravel is not large, and because the falling distance is not high, in the case of helmet protection, if it is only smashed on the body, it is estimated that it will be a small pain for a while. But it was so coincidental that the fallen gravel was impartially stuffed into the small ring of the figure-eight buckle, and was pulled by the static rope, and it happened to be tightly plugged.
At this time, Wang Yiyuan, who was still in the process of descending, suddenly found that when she released the rope held by her right hand, she no longer fell, and only then did she find that the figure-eight buckle was blocked by stones, resulting in the static rope being stuck.
Wang Yiyuan used many methods: twisting the figure-eight buckle, rotating the static rope, pulling the static rope up and down, etc., but none of them could make the troublesome stone fall out.
Wang Yiyuan was a little anxious, so she simply let go of her right hand that controlled the descent speed, and grabbed the static rope above the figure-eight buckle with her left hand, while her right hand vigorously broke the stone blocking the figure-eight buckle, trying to pull it out.
The staff at the top of the cliff and on the ground were very puzzled when they saw Wang Yiyuan, who had almost been able to complete the rappelling with perfect movements before, suddenly stop in mid-air. Watching the time pass minute by minute, the five-minute time limit stipulated by the organizing committee has arrived, Wang Yiyuan is still suspended in mid-air, unable to rise or fall, and everyone finally reflects that there should be an accident.
Soon, the staff used another rappelling point to quickly get below the height where Wang Yiyuan was, and then moved parallel along the cliff to get closer to Wang Yiyuan, and after finding that the problem was really unsolvable, they simply hugged Wang Yiyuan, let her untie the safety rope, and took her back to the ground.
After all the cliff descents were over, the organizing committee also announced the individual results quickly.
I don't know if it's unfortunate or lucky, although Wang Yiyuan, who is the most powerful to win the championship, failed to finish the race due to an accident, but there were only nine people in the women's group who participated in the cliff drop, and the organizing committee "generously" counted the ninth place points on Wang Yiyuan's head.
On the return car, Chen Yang sat next to Wang Yiyuan and kept holding back a smile.
Wang Yiyuan was very aggrieved in her heart, and couldn't help but reach out and pinch Chen Yang's waist.
"Ouch, what are you doing, you are so good and suddenly abusing people. ”
"It's nothing, it's just that I'm not very happy, and when I see that you still look happy and want to laugh, I think I should let you not be happy to cooperate with me. ”
"Sure enough, it is the most poisonous woman's heart. But for your sake, I'm too lazy to bother with you. It's already ...... anyway," Chen Yang said as he stretched out two fingers and shook them in front of Wang Yiyuan.
"I've just won two individual championships, do you need to swing your scissor hands so flamboyantly to declare victory?"
"No, I'm not a scissorhand on behalf of victory, I want to remind you that you already owe me two promises, don't forget!"
Wang Yiyuan snorted and didn't reply.
The first two events were much shorter than expected. After discussion, the organizing committee solicited the opinions of all the contestants, and finally unanimously decided to advance the climbing competition, which was supposed to start at 17 o'clock, to 15 o'clock.
Wang Yiyuan calculates her points, and the current ranking tied for first place in the total standings is Nian Shumo and the physical education teacher in Jiangxi, with a cumulative score of 45 points, and his current points are 42 points, the gap is not very big, if he can win the championship in the final climbing competition, the championship is still very likely to be himself. Thinking of this, Wang Yiyuan gave birth to hope again.
Fortunately, there were no more accidents this time. After the game, Wang Yiyuan ranked first with a total score of 57 points and won the championship. Chen Yang also won first place in the last three categories, topping the men's table with a total score of 60 points.
After the awards, the amateur group of the Mountain and Outdoor Sports Challenge ended.
At dinner, the four of them got together again.
Nian Shumo only has the last day off tomorrow and has to rush back to class, so he plans to leave early tomorrow morning. Wu Lin said that he would continue to stay and watch the professional competition. Wang Yiyuan and Chen Yang both had enough time, so they discussed starting a trip to the neighborhood tomorrow and then returning.
