Two days ago, Gao Entropy asked a friend in Australia for basic course materials, and the other party told him that the Australian snow season was about to start again, and he wanted to go back to participate in the competition, and said that he was looking forward to participating in the Australia-New Zealand Continental Cup with him again.

People mention it casually, but the high entropy is excited.

It was because he won the championship of the Continental Cup series that he was noticed by Gu Qiantong and Tang Huai and others, and he later became a naturalized athlete.

He once had a deep affection for the Continental Cup, but he went back to participate in it once in 2019, but he didn't expect to be defeated.

Since then, the Continental Cup has become a sad affair and is rarely mentioned again.

But now it's different, he calculated his FIS points and rankings in the FIS Federation, and in the 2019-2020 season, he won a gold medal in the World Cup race, and he won 1,000 FIS points for that victory alone.

He returned to racing last season, and although he didn't finish on the podium for various reasons, the top eight finishes were also credited.

Add in the mixed team championship points from the Chilean Championships, and the two seasons add up to nearly 2,000 points.

Compared with the European and American players who participate in dozens of World Cups, Intercontinental Cups, and FIS points competitions every year, this result is not high, but the gap from the world's top 30 rankings is not large.

He carefully calculated that if he went abroad to participate in various competitions from now on to earn points, as long as the top three in each race were guaranteed, there was still hope of qualifying for the Olympic Games.

Compared with staying in China and competing for a qualification with a ruthless person like Zhang Zhiwang, it is relatively less difficult to go abroad to chase snow, and he can also resume his competitive level by training.

Tang Huai's eyes lit up when he heard his words: "Wonderful! If you can squeeze into the top 30, we can add one more spot. ”

He immediately went to Gu Qiantong to discuss and arrange for Gao Entropy to compete abroad.

"Please, aren't you all sleeping? I'll talk about it tomorrow...... What? Can you increase your quota place for the Olympics? Wait, I'll be right over! ”

Gu Qiantong simply cleaned up, put on a coat and ran over, and the three of them got together and discussed for two hours, including what competitions can be participated in before the Beijing Winter Olympics, the date of the competition and the itinerary.

It's April, and the southern hemisphere is starting the snow season, with all the races concentrated in Australia, New Zealand and Chile and Argentina in South America, excluding a few low-level races in Africa.

These countries have domestic championship cups and championships every year, and will also host intercontinental cup competitions, the level of competition is not high, and the FIS points of the champion are only 50 or 100 points.

Because of this, this kind of event does not attract top athletes from Europe and the United States, and with the high entropy level of competition, the probability of stealing points from it is higher.

If he can get all the championship points in two of the Intercontinental Cups and three national competitions, he can now rank in the top 30 in the world.

However, this is only the beginning, other athletes are also working hard, and by October the northern hemisphere will start the snow season, and after the start of many high-level events, this ranking will still change a lot.

Therefore, high entropy also has to participate in the World Cup next season, the Swiss points competition, etc., to get as many points as possible. There is still a great deal of uncertainty about whether or not they will qualify for the Olympics, and the final result will not be known until the points cut-off time on January 16.

Gu Qiantong stared at Gao Entropy: "You have to understand, this half a year will be very hard, the first three months of flying around in the southern hemisphere, almost every week to participate in competitions, in case of injury or poor performance, these efforts will all be in vain." ”

Gao Entropy nodded: "I understand, I've thought about it a lot, at least I don't have regrets, if I don't try and work hard, I may regret it for a lifetime." ”

Tang Huai understood his idea very well, and immediately slapped the table: "Then go, I'll apply for you to participate in the competition, but I can't spare to accompany you to participate in the competition." ”

"Coach, don't worry, I can do it alone."

Gu Qiantong immediately vetoed: "What is one person?" In case of injury or accident, I don't even have anyone to help, so I arrange for an assistant coach. ”

She turned her head to look at Tang Huai again: "By the way, what about the rest of your team?" Is there anything similar to the high-entropy situation, and you can form a team to compete? ”

"The gap in points is relatively large, but in the past to participate in low-level events to gain experience, you can bring Han Xiao, Liu Min, Feng Yuanning, and by the way, let the second echelon train and train."

"Okay, then this project will be easy to approve, I will arrange these paperwork, you are responsible for explaining to the athletes, you must ensure the safety of the competition, the safety of the trip, the results are secondary. This time, neither of us went out with us, and rashly sent other people's children abroad, in case of some accidents, it would be troublesome. ”

After the three of them finished discussing, it was almost dawn, Tang Huai washed his face, and directly called Han Xiao and the others to run and practice, and announced the arrangement by the way.

In fact, this is a major good news for these athletes, they lack competition experience, and they have no chance to compete with Zhang Zhiwang and Fang Ruixuan for the Olympic qualification.

Instead of wasting money here, it is better to go directly to foreign countries to experience, maybe there is a chance to get ahead.

Han Xiao and the other three happily packed their luggage and went through the formalities, and followed Gao Entropy and an assistant coach to Olidaria.

According to the plan, their trip to the southern hemisphere will last for three months, first in the Australia-New Zealand Continental Cup series, and two months later in Chile, where they will compete in domestic cups and tournaments, and then the Copa America.

High Entropy grew up in Australia, and in the past, he was not ranked in the Australian team, and he did not have the opportunity to participate in the World Cup, and the Continental Cup series was his main battlefield, so he was able to take everyone over and take care of it.

Although this competition is named after the country, as long as it is included in the FIS points competition, foreign athletes can participate, and there are almost no threshold restrictions.

World-class athletes generally don't waste time and energy on these lower-level competitions, and only their own athletes compete to maintain their domestic glory.

After Pullin's unexpected death by the beach last summer, Australia's leading snowboard cross athlete has become Bolton, and a youngster Hughes has made his mark on the world stage.

High Entropy is familiar with both of them, understands their abilities and tactics, and is confident that he will snatch the championship from them.

As for the other three, it depends on their respective performances, and only by going to the foreign arena to support their own catties can they find the right direction of positioning and efforts.

Through this way of training by competition, maybe when they return to China in three months, they will be able to compete fairly with Zhang Zhiwang and Fang Ruixuan.
