Soon, the Chinese snowboard slalom national training team arrived at the Chisavamaranco Ski Resort in Italy.

Eight people came, and although Feng Yuanning and Liu Min had not yet qualified for the competition, they also came to observe and learn this time.

After the streamlining of the national team, the training treatment has been significantly improved compared with before.

Coming to this ski resort surrounded by mountains, Tang Huai couldn't help but sigh: "I haven't been here for many years, I miss it so much!" ”

The last time Chisavamaranco hosted an international tournament was in 2012, when it was gradually replaced by Cervinia.

This season's FIS is scheduled to open on 18-19 December 2020 in Cervinia, Italy, but it was cancelled due to the pandemic.

Not only was the opening race cancelled, but the second race, originally scheduled for January 14-16 in Montafon, Austria, was also cancelled due to the pandemic.

In order not to let the whole year's hard work of athletes from all over the world go to waste, Chisava Maranco Ski Resort stepped forward and took the initiative to take on this competition.

And according to the latest news, not only will the opening race be held here, but the second race will also be held at this ski resort a few days later.

The FIS has a practice of doing this, because ski races are very affected by the weather, and if there is no snow in the ski resort due to abnormal weather, or if the competition cannot be held as scheduled due to other factors, the World Cup will be held twice in a row at the previous venue.

This year's schedule sees two races in Chisavamaranco, followed by a race in Hetlam, Austria, two races in Batruani, Georgia, and finally a final race in Wesonna, Switzerland, on March 22, where the final event of the 2020-2021 season will be held to determine the winner of the Crystal Globe.

Because this year's World Championships have been cancelled and the Olympics have not yet come, the weight of this crystal ball award is particularly important.

Last year, Cai Xuetong won the women's halfpipe crystal ball award, which made Tang Huai's eyes red, if he can win an annual championship this year, then the attention of the snowboard slalom event in the Winter Olympics will not skyrocket? At the thought of being noticed and praised by more than a billion people, Tang Huai woke up with a smile in his dreams.

Of course, he doesn't dare to expect to win the Crystal Ball Award in one step now, and it is already great to win one or two sub-races first!

In the week leading up to the competition, Tang Huai adhered to the principle, and Li Changyi and the three of them could train together on the track, but they had to separate food and accommodation, and they must not touch the light of the national team on expenses.

This is not only to avoid suspicion, but also to wait for them to have a justification when they compete for national team qualification.

After seeing the competitive state of the three of them in training, and hearing that Wu Lihan had unexpectedly entered a short "Clutch state", Tang Huai couldn't close his mouth happily, and praised Wu Lihan for his good looks, and he really didn't see the wrong person.

"The blade of the sword is sharpened, you kid is now only one good result to prove himself, this competition let go of skating, bold skating, show your best side!"

In particular, he talked about the mystery of the "Clutch state", which athletes can use to achieve record-breaking results, but the key is to have the support of the physical foundation, and not to pin hope on chance.

Ullihan is not yet 20 years old, and he still has a long career ahead of him, so he will definitely have many opportunities to stimulate his physical potential, and I hope to go to the next level every time to stabilize the results of training and competition.

Looking at the group of outstanding children under his hands, Li Changyi, Wu Lihan, and Gao Entropy in the men's group all hope to hit the top three, Fan Qingwan in the women's group has made great progress, and Wu Ying has made up for the shortcomings, and there is also a chance, depending on their respective performances on the field.

At this time, Tang Huai was full of ambition, and he felt that he would definitely be able to complete the goal of "raising the national flag and playing the national anthem" this time.

When I got a good result, I got a lot of blows in the media, and all the problems were solved.

He was so happy that he was grinning all day long, and when he reported the situation of the team to China, Gu Qiantong couldn't help but pour cold water on him: "You are more restrained, it is easy to get carried away with your smugness, be careful to make a big mistake." For this contest, you have the bride price money to marry me, if you lose it all, don't come to me! ”

These words are more deterrent than anything else, Tang Huai immediately calmly pulled down, it is a matter of life events, the happiness of the second half of his life, dare not do his best!

He followed Li Changyi's suggestion, went to the track to skate a few laps, carefully felt the characteristics of the track, analyzed the key and difficult points, and tailored the competition plan for different athletes, and had to stay up until midnight every night.

Different from the bizarre course settings at last year's sub-races, Chisavamaranco is a traditional ski resort, and the setting here is a bit "retro".

With a total distance of 1060 meters, it is a relatively long course, but it only has four corners, and the corners are basically in the middle and second half of the course.

The first half of the course is dominated by snow dams, wave bags and jumps, and as soon as you appear, there are four consecutive snow dams, a bit like Montafon's setting. The organizers still have a conscience, and they didn't make a three-meter-high steep slope like Montafon.

Of the four corners in the second half, three were slow corners with wide angles, and only the third was a sharp turn, which was also better done than Cervinia and risky so that it didn't make everyone uncomfortable.

The last highlight is that the finish line is set behind a small snow bag, which means that the athletes are flying over the finish line, and everyone feels cool when they test the track, and they think it will look good to take pictures.

However, the coaches will definitely not think about the problem in this way, for this setting, Tang Huai immediately reminded everyone to be stable and not to do any cool actions: "Don't think you are firmly in the first place, just do some bells and whistles, it's useless!" Not only is it useless, but it may also ruin your great future! ”

In particular, he talked about a classic case in the world of snowboarding:

The current American snowboard veteran Jacobelis, a five-time World Cup champion, won the Crystal Globe Award.

But it's not the accolades she has won, it's the jokes she made in the final at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin.

Jacobelis, who was in her 20s at the time, was well ahead from the start of the race, and the only Canadian who posed a threat to her fell off the track midway through the race.

Seeing that this Olympic gold medal is within reach, Jacobelis is floating!

"Do you know what she did? She actually jumped high on a snowy slope before the finish line and made an aerial shifty+method grab. I admit that the idea of making a bells and whistles in the limelight and freezing herself in the classic picture of Olympic history is indeed very romantic, but she fell to the ground! ”

Although she tried hard to get up and finish the race, the Swiss caught up from 100 meters away and took the gold medal!

Tang Huai specially instructed: "Since then, Yagbellis has begun to go downhill, and almost every time she makes mistakes in the competition, it is like falling under a spell. Don't learn from her! ”
