The rules of the World Cup are the same, at present, there are only men's and women's competitions, and there is no mixed team competition, which is generally completed in two days.

Considering that the track in Montafon in Austria is relatively narrow and can only accommodate four people at a time, at the time trial held on the first day, all the athletes took turns on the track, and only the top 16 were selected according to the finishing results.

On the second day, they were eliminated in the order of time trials, followed by semi-finals, minor finals and major finals.

The results of the time trial were mixed for the Chinese team.

In the men's group, Gao Entropy, Li Changyi, Wu Lihan, and Zhang Zhiwang ranked 4th, 5th, 8th, and 16th respectively.

The ranking is not good, but in fact, Gao Entropy and Li Changyi were in the same group in the group knockout round. Wu Lihan and Zhang Zhiwang were also lucky to be in the same group.

If they match each other, at least three of them will advance to the semi-finals.

Zhang Zhiwang qualified for the promotion beyond many people's expectations, he did not have enough starting strength, it was difficult to cross the 5th U-shaped wave bag, but just when he was about to run out of strength and almost over, he suddenly changed the skis from the front and back sliding posture to the left and right card edge posture, using the steel blade on the toe of the ski to cut into the snow slope to borrow force, he rolled forward and used his body to drive the snowboard over.

This is the solution for him to meditate hard in his room alone, a very difficult little trick, he has not practiced it once before, but he didn't expect him to succeed once.

Because this movement slightly affected his speed, he skated very hard later, and only barely qualified as the last place.

There were a few runners who failed to climb the hill and tried to replicate his movements, but none of them succeeded.

In the women's competition, Fan Qingwan and Wu Ying won the 6th and 12th places respectively.

Li Pingping was eliminated, finishing 17th in the time trial, just 0.6 seconds slower than 16th.

She is a dexterous player, her strength has always been weak, similar to Zhang Zhiwang's characteristics, and she doesn't have the ruthlessness and perseverance of others, so it is normal to be eliminated.

Li Pingping cried a lot during the night break, her eyes were swollen like peaches, everyone stepped forward to comfort him, but Banks, as the head coach, was indifferent, and showed a contemptuous look of "I knew it was like this", it seemed that Li Pingping lost, and he felt comfortable.

Li Changyi and Wu Lihan saw it in their eyes and remembered it in their hearts, and secretly discussed that they must clean him up before returning to China, and let out the grievances of this time.

On the second day of the knockout round, Wu Lihan and Zhang Zhiwang were divided into the first group, along with Austria's Hemmer who had the fastest time trial time trial time and Bolton of the United States in ninth place.

Before the start of the game, Banks did not have any tactical guidance, and Zhang Zhiwang showed a grim smile: "You will slide desperately for a while, don't worry about the rest of the matter, I will ensure that you advance." ”

Wu Lihan was startled, and in a blink of an eye, he understood Zhang Zhiwang's intentions: "What are you going to do?" Lao Tzu is very strong, he is not worth anyone at all, and he doesn't need your help! ”

Zhang Zhiwang was noncommittal: "Don't talk too much. ”

Li Changyi called Wu Ying over to help the two of them, rubbing their muscles and checking the snowboards and bindings. In this competition, they were completely stragglers, and they could only help each other to warm up.

At the start of the race, Hemmel took the lead, and as a local competitor, he had practiced on the track hundreds of times, and he could finish the course with his eyes closed.

The remaining three people were more entangled, Ulihan was on par with Bolton, and Zhang Zhiwang was a little behind.

This time, he worked hard, even if the wrist injury was aggravated, he gritted his teeth and exerted his strength, and successfully passed the biggest difficulty of the U-shaped wave bag.

The pain in his wrist almost broke him, probably the bone that hit the steel nail collapsed, he gasped, gritted his teeth and insisted on chasing the back in front of him, his vision blurred for a while, unable to distinguish which was his teammate and which was his opponent.

He knew that he was out of the way this time, and even if he advanced in this round, there would be no way to participate in the next round, and he had to play his final role to protect Ullihan from finishing second in the group.

The corner ahead was his chance to make the most of his remaining heat, and he gritted his teeth and tried to blink to get his vision back up, ready to take advantage of his last chance.

There are few corners on the Montafon track, and there are few big air platforms on the straights, most of which are wave bags, on which the athletes repeatedly experience bumps, all relying on the shock absorption control of the body's core pressure plate and knees, and Ullihan's aerial jump advantage cannot be brought into play, and he has not opened up the distance from Bolton.

There was only the S bend in front of him, Zhang Zhiwang knew that it was Ulihan's weakness, he took the initiative to change lanes and invade Bolton's safe range, and the intention of interference was very obvious.

Unequivocal, Bolton immediately moved closer to Ulihan, apparently anticipating that the two Chinese athletes might work together to block themselves by fouling them and guaranteeing the other a ticket to the next round.

And this person's way of dealing with it is also very ruthless, that is, if you pull me, I will take advantage of the situation to put down your teammates, and if you want to fall together, no one can run.

At the last moment, Wu Lihan yelled: "Lao Tzu doesn't need your help!" ”

As if with divine help, he entered the bend at great speed, the steel blade stood up at an angle of nearly 40 degrees, walked a beautiful fold line, and passed the bend perfectly.

Bolton put too much energy on guarding against Zhang Zhiwang's foul pulling, and his gliding posture was slightly out of shape, and he distanced himself from Ullihan.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Zhiwang breathed a long sigh of relief, and after the curve was a long downhill section, which was the dominant section of Wulihan, and the promotion quota was stable!

He gave up his aggressiveness, holding his painful wrist and staggering down the entire way. Li Changyi had already seen that something was wrong, and pulled the team doctor to rush over to help with treatment.

Zhang Zhiwang waved his hand: "Don't get in the way, you go and prepare for the game, you must not lose!" ”

"It's okay, I'm in the third group, I'll have to wait for a while, you just tried too hard, you really shouldn't be."

"It doesn't matter, it's eliminated anyway."

Zhang Zhiwang insisted on letting Li Changyi leave and concentrate on the game, pretending to be relaxed, but in fact his forehead was sweating.

The team doctor wanted to take him to the medical security team for an examination, but he also refused: "It's okay, I can still hold on until I see them compete." ”

"Nonsense! When is this, hurry up and come with me! Who, Wu Ying, you don't have a competition at this time, come with me to help first, bring his skis. ”

The team doctor's words were undoubted, Wu Ying ran over, supported Zhang Zhiwang with one hand, and pulled up his skis with the other, but when she walked, she also wanted to watch Li Changyi's game.

After all, reason prevailed over selfishness, she bit her lip and quickly left the track with the team doctor.
