Pete listened beside him, and secretly laughed in his heart: "You don't want to expose your strength yet, each of you has been thoroughly studied by others!" Wait, the game the day after tomorrow will be good for you! ”

The day before the race was the open day of the track, all the athletes went to do acclimatization training, the teams from various countries were lined up, and the Chinese team was lined up in the afternoon.

Tang Huai stared at the track alone, observing the strength level of athletes from other countries, and he drove Li Changyi and everyone else to the ski track to warm up first to find a feeling.

I have to say that the snow resort in Solden is really good, the slopes are steep and the drop is large, and the abundant snowfall makes the slopes soft and true, on the long, straight and wide slopes, Li Changyi indulges in the cutting and smoothing, and almost experiences the thrill of taking off.

Unconsciously sliding farther and farther, Li Changyi and Gao Entropy went hand in hand, and the four people behind him were like wild horses, leaving elegant and round scratches on the snow of the Alps.

They skied over steep slopes, jumped over jumps, crossed tunnels, and skied for more than a dozen kilometers on the slopes of the Eternal Glacier, descent from the peak at 3,340 meters above sea level to the valley floor at 1,970 meters above sea level, and almost completely skied one of the main ski runs in Sölden.

Six people stopped at the end of the slope one after another, gasping, high-fived, hugging and celebrating, and it was the first time they had enjoyed skiing unbridledly, and it was the first time they were so relaxed and indulgent before a race.

Gao Entropy stopped a shuttle bus on the side of the road, and they desperately wanted to go back to the mountain to find Tang Huai to tell him about their good mood.

As everyone knows, Tang Huai was in a bad mood at this time, and he couldn't share their joy and joy at all.

The reason is simple, he was ejected, and he was not allowed to watch the training of the teams. This rejection of the Chinese is becoming more and more excessive and obvious.

He pondered, you don't let me see it, when we train in the afternoon, we will also clear the field!

Sölden's track is dominated by powder snow, with soft snow conditions similar to those of Cocotohai, and the track setting is similar to that of Montafon, starting with three deep UUU groove dams, which I feel the Austrians particularly like.

The track after the snow dam returned to normal, and the distribution of the five corners and the rest of the obstacles was reasonably reasonable, and it was not as clearly targeted as the previous raid change.

This does not prove how fair and honest the Austrians are, probably in large part because the Chinese came so suddenly that they did not have time to do anything from the track.

However, the three snow dams under the starting platform are also torturous enough, this thing is deeper than the other, the last depth is close to 2 meters, the slope is close to 60 degrees, and the technical crotch pulling is probably stopped directly here.

Zhang Zhiwang remembered the embarrassment in Montafon the year before last, when he had a broken wrist and was unable to start, coupled with the relative lack of physical fitness, the preliminaries were once blocked by the snow dam in full view, and he was very embarrassed. Later, I learned to use the card blade to turn over and borrow force to climb over the snow dam.

Now, the wrist injury has long healed, the body is full of explosive power, and the track training skates easily.

The Chinese athletes' every move is under surveillance, and although Tang Huai is angry and drives away all the new faces on the slopes, it makes no sense to do so, as the track is full of cameras and security surveillance, and people can see it clearly when they sit in the Ice Q restaurant.

The head coaches or team leaders of several teams gathered together for coffee, and before the game started, the main tone of the game had already been set, that is, no Chinese athlete could be allowed to enter the semi-finals.

Europe is the birthplace of modern skiing, and Austria is one of the core countries of this sport, in the minds of their people, skiing, like table tennis in the eyes of the Chinese, that is a national sport, absolutely unshakable.

As a result, from the preliminaries on the second day, the Chinese team has been in a constant situation, and has received many restrictions from preparation to participation.

First of all, he got up in the morning to wax the skis, the tent of the Chinese team was not electrified, because the waxing of each team was confidential, and Tang Huai could not go to the tent of the other team to probe his brain to borrow power, so he could only urge the local staff over and over again.

As a result, I waited for nearly an hour just to turn on the electricity, and finally I didn't figure out why there was no power.

Seeing that the competition was about to start, and high entropy was the main force in this competition, it was impossible to wax every board, so Tang Huai could only let everyone concentrate on three general training boards and use them in rotation to participate in the preliminaries.

As a result, they hurried to the vicinity of the starting platform, but were told a very speechless question: "Today's wind is strong, the preliminaries have been cancelled, and the final will be arranged directly according to the FIS points ranking of the registered players." ”

"It's not fair!"

Tang Huai protested seriously, but all the foreigners looked at him, and the disdain and disdain were embarrassing.

It is very common to cancel the preliminaries or even the entire competition due to weather conditions, and there is a precedent for directly determining the qualification for the finals according to the world ranking, but Tang Huai just thinks it is unreasonable from his own interests.

Because in his team, Zhang Zhiwang's world ranking is very low, and Wu Ying's position is not good, if the card ranking, these two people are afraid that this trip will run directly in vain.

But there is no way, people are the makers of the rules, they have the "right of final interpretation", and even if you are stabbed by using "reasonable" terms, you have nowhere to reason.

Half an hour later, the list of applicants came out, and all the amateurs and most of the second-rate athletes who had registered for this European Championship were blocked from the final due to the sudden gathering of top players.

Sure enough, as Tang Huai expected, the Chinese team's athletes participated in fewer points competitions, intercontinental cups, and World Cup matches, so they ranked low in points.

The men's team Wu Lihan, Li Changyi and Gao Entropy qualified for the finals, ranking 11th, 14th and 22nd respectively. On the women's team, only Fan Qingwan got the 14th pick.

Zhang Zhiwang and Wu Ying were not able to participate in the final because of their low rankings (97th and 34th).

Both of them were angry, what a thing!

In fact, there is indeed a little wind today, but it is not an unacceptable wind, when everyone is training in Keketuohai, the wind is not small on any day, and it is not the same practice?

Snowboard slalom is not as much affected by the wind as it is different from jumping and difficult movements such as big air.

Tang Huai was also very helpless: "Forget it, who let us be outsiders, you two can serve and cheer for others, and I will appeal to the FIS when I go back to this matter." ”

In fact, not only Tang Huai and the Chinese team were dissatisfied, but also the young European players who signed up in advance and prepared for a year were also annoyed and protested, but what is the use of this?

Even if Tang Huai gets into trouble with the International Ski Federation, this kind of "bad" weather statement will still be supported by quite a few officials.
