Volume 3 Come on, let's go to the future together Chapter 265 Use the rules again to make stumbling blocks
It seems to be back to last season, and the Chinese team's successive victories are "terrifying".
Not only Gao Entropy and Wu Ying are improving, but Zhang Zhiwang and Wu Lihan's results are also greatly improving, they both stopped in the 1/4 finals in the first stop, but in the second stop, Zhang Zhiwang broke into the small finals.
Ulihan suffered a group of death, was intercepted in the quarterfinals by Hemering and Wiscinting, and has a disability in his right foot, and being able to break into the quarterfinals is already a slap in the face for many European athletes.
The bigwigs behind the scenes who secretly control the ice and snow events have begun to gather together again to discuss, how can they block the Chinese from the championship podium?
It's not that they don't have corresponding methods, but these targeted means are all ready to be used in the Winter Olympics, and if they are taken out in advance, they fall into the trap of the Chinese.
The discussion has been inconclusive for a long time, and in the blink of an eye, it is January 2022, and the remaining games will be held.
Athletes from all over the world are rushing to Krasnoyarsk, Russia, a city in Siberia that is in the midst of a freezing season.
The strength of Russian athletes is average, and in the past World Cup competitions, most of the male athletes stopped in the preliminaries, and there were almost no shots of them in the final stage.
In the women's category, there is a girl named Christina Paulo, who has had a short-lived performance in the past race in the Sierra Nevada, Spain.
Therefore, the local people pay general attention to this sport, and for them, whoever wins the championship is the same, so they do not make it too difficult for Chinese athletes in terms of track settings and competition facilities.
January 7th to 9th was the day of the competition, and the weather was not very ideal, and there was a fine freezing rain in advance.
The extreme cold climate is not friendly to everyone, and wearing a down jacket and a tight ski suit can still be blown through by the cold wind. People had to wear a long down jacket to keep it out of the cold.
Many athletes have their hair and beards frozen out of ice skates, and when you take a deep breath, you feel your lungs freeze.
There was not a single spectator outside the track, except for the referees, the field service staff and the coaches and athletes of the various teams, no one wanted to stay in this biting cold wind.
Even in this weather, they have to hold back-to-back races, that is, two races in a row in the same arena.
Everyone's results have dropped significantly.
Tang Huai and the others have trained in the weather of minus twenty or thirty degrees in Heilongjiang in the past, and the temperature in Nevado, Chile and Keketuohai in Xinjiang is also very low, but they are still a little unbearable when they come here.
One of the worst was Ullihan, whose knee could not withstand the cold and almost suffered frostbite on the first day, forcing him to abandon the game.
The high entropy could not adapt to the climate here, and he began to have a fever after the preliminaries.
Because he was worried about contracting the new coronavirus, he did nucleic acid and isolation observation overnight, and as a result, he missed the finals on the second day.
Wu Ying is a native of Heilongjiang, and her cold-resistant foundation is still good, she and Zhang Zhiwang participated in the second day's competition, and both achieved good results.
In this extremely cold weather, the track was almost frozen to ice, and the men's high entropy and Edgivar, Berg and others abandoned the race for various reasons.
Zhang Zhiwang took advantage of this, and his cornering skills and competition experience played a role, allowing him to reach the big final for the first time.
He's not the fastest on the track, but he's the most steady, giving himself a chance to win by putting pressure on the athletes in front of him, forcing them to accelerate, and then making mistakes or falling.
It can be said that Zhang Zhiwang applied the tactic of "striking backwards" to the extent that he was perfect.
The four finalists were Bolton, Wiscinting, Gronding and Zhang Zhiwang.
Hemering should not be very good at skating and once again suffered a balance mistake and failed to qualify for the big final.
Other players, such as Somaliva and Waltier, were also limited by the cold.
Zhang Zhiwang burst out with a strong desire to survive, he fought fiercely in the game, especially in the corners, almost like a mad dog, and showed dangerous aggression intentions to everyone who approached him and wanted to overtake him.
In the end, only Wishinting surpassed Zhang Zhiwang with his rich competition experience and grabbed the gold medal in this sub-competition.
Although he only won the silver medal, Zhang Zhiwang was still very happy, this is a new height in his life, which also shows that the competition is full of suspense, and the talent is not without a chance to reach the podium.
After competing with several European and American players, he is even confident that he will try to compete for the gold medal in the second competition in a few days!
The severe cold continues, the latest variant of the new coronavirus appears, the pressure of epidemic prevention and control in various countries has risen sharply, and the inability to stop Chinese athletes from sweeping the competition has led to coaches in some countries beginning to retreat: "It's better to leave this ghost place and go to Italy to prepare for the competition first." ”
According to the schedule, January 21 and 22 are the races in Chisavamaranco; January 28th and 29th was Cortina d'Ampezzo, both in Italy.
Abandoning the game is tantamount to sending the Chinese to win the championship, which is undesirable. The bigwigs behind the scenes met and decided to play a small trump card.
This card is the "ski wax fluoride ban" that they have repeatedly postponed.
At the beginning, Banksy proposed a damage trick that the Chinese did not have their own high-quality ski wax, and the ski wax they used was a product containing fluoride.
The FIS fluoride ban was announced as early as 2019, but for the sake of profit, they delayed its implementation.
The last public document was in October 2020 when the International Ski Federation (FIS) approved the postponement of the "fluoride ban" to the 2021-2022 snow season at its autumn meeting of its Board of Governors.
Now that the 2021-2020 season has begun, they deliberately did not mention the ban in the previous games, in fact, they wanted to catch the Chinese off guard on the eve of the Beijing Winter Olympics.
The ideal state is to announce this matter a week before the game, but that is too targeted and difficult, and it is a bit too shameful.
However, if it is announced at the snowboard World Cup in Russia, it seems that the suspicion of the Beijing Winter Olympics can be avoided. Anyway, now that there is only one month left before the Winter Olympics in February, they have monopolized the research and development, production and sales of the world's top ski wax, and it is almost impossible for Chinese to get the right ski wax.
As a result, the proposal was unanimously adopted, and they were immediately published through the official channels of the FIS Federation.
The reason is still high-sounding: "Ski waxes containing fluoride are toxic to the human body and cannot be degraded once they enter the natural food chain." A series of research evidence and related environmental regulations led the FIS to formally implement the 'fluoride ban'. ”
