Except for Fan Qingwan, no one else knew about this matter, and the girl didn't agree to cheat at first, Tang Huai repeatedly told her about the stakes, emphasizing that this was not to favor her, but to keep the chance to win the gold as much as possible, so she reluctantly agreed to cooperate.

Time flies, and in a few days it ushered in January 31, 2022.

It was a traditional Chinese Chinese New Year's Eve night, and all the athletes who had not gone home for a reunion had gathered in Beijing, Yanqing and Zhangjiakou to make the final sprint for the upcoming Winter Olympics.

Genting Snow Park is very close to Beijing, but Tang Huai can't go home for a reunion, he made a video call with his parents, called Li Changyi over, and gave the two elders New Year's greetings in advance, and the whole team gathered over, laughing and greeting the two old people.

Tang Huai felt that the atmosphere was very good, so they started a live broadcast together, pulled the parents of all the team members into the live broadcast room, and everyone came to a "cloud reunion" together, and gave them a report performance on the track in advance.

Seeing their children still working the sports field in their Chinese New Year's Eve, these parents quietly wiped their tears one by one.

Of course, the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics is scheduled for February 4, which coincides with the Chinese New Year holiday, and this Winter Olympics is destined to be a grand event with the attention of thousands of families.

The Genting base prepared a very sumptuous feast, the Spring Festival Gala was played on the big screen, the leaders of the Ice and Snow Center came to visit and speak, and there were live interviews on the TV station, and hundreds of athletes took drinks together to express their determination, and at the same time wished their parents in their hometown good health.

A very memorable Chinese New Year's Eve, watching the cast and crew of the Spring Festival Gala busy at the Genting branch venue, Li Changyi and they felt warmth and pressure at the same time, and the Olympic Games a week later are also their performance time.

The influence of the Spring Festival Gala is too great, since the beginning of the Lunar New Year, TV stations have begun to take the trouble to broadcast reports related to the Winter Olympics, and major print media and new media have also launched a long campaign to promote it, and the Winter Olympics seems to be closely related to everyone all of a sudden.

Since the beginning of the Lunar New Year, ski resorts and ice skating halls around the country have been overcrowded, and everyone is full of expectations for the next competition, hoping to see Chinese athletes compete for gold and silver on the field, raise the national flag and play the national anthem on their home stadium.

The Winter Olympics have a tight schedule, opening on 4 February, and the next day there will be 19 competitions including the women's ice hockey heats, the mixed doubles round robin curling, the mixed team relay in short track speed skating, snowboard slopestyle, ski jumping and freestyle skiing, which will produce six gold medals.

Li Changyi: Their obstacle track will not be contested until February 9.

Unlike the annual World Cup, where all competitions are rushed to two days, the Winter Olympics are scheduled to hold the women's snowboard slalom qualification event on February 9 at 11 a.m. At 2:30 p.m., the women's final will be organized to produce a gold medal.

The men's qualifying round will be held at 11:15 a.m. on February 10, and the final will be held at 2 p.m. to produce a gold medal. On February 12, the mixed team event of the obstacle cross event will be held at 10 a.m. (According to the 11th edition of the competition schedule of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics)

In other words, even if they officially enter the Beijing Winter Olympics, Li Changyi and they still have several days of training and preparation time.

In this final week of sprints, Tang Huai specially asked Li Changyi and Fan Qingwan, Gao Entropy and Wu Ying to train the tactics of the mixed team event.

Tang Huai simulated all possible situations, such as when Li Changyi was ahead by a large margin, Fan Qingwan took the lead and asked Wu Ying to find a way to catch up from behind; Another example is that Gao Entropy won Li Changyi, let Wu Ying set off more than half a second in advance, and trained Fan Qingwan's pursuit ability.

Competitive competitions are full of variables, not the first to start will definitely win, Wu Ying also has a reversal to win, Fan Qingwan is also over, generally speaking, as long as the male athletes don't pull their hips too much in the competition, causing too much disadvantage to the girls, the Chinese team still has a certain chance of winning.

As for Wu Lihan and Zhang Zhiwang, Tang Huai deliberately reduced their training intensity and made temporary adjustments.

In fact, it can be seen that as the date of the competition approaches, doubt and anxiety begin to replace confidence and excitement, and the quality of sleep of these two people is getting worse and worse day by day.

However, the four main forces who are really responsible for the heavy responsibility of winning gold and silver, and their current mentality is not bad.

They've faced off against their opponents in previous Test matches and World Cup events, so they know their quality and positioning, and with their recent efforts to train for the mixed team event, they won't be too cranky.

Tang Huai saw that Zhang Zhiwang and Wu Lihan were not in a good state, so he took out the psychological adjustment manual taught by the academician to the athletes before, and asked them to adjust their mentality according to the content above.

The state has also specially arranged for experts in sports psychology to come over and provide psychological counseling to each athlete.

In a one-on-one knee-to-knee conversation, Ullihan finally voiced his concerns.

After this period of training and competition, he knew that the gap between him and the top athletes was irreparable, so he no longer had the luxury of winning a gold medal at the Winter Olympics, but just wanted to stand on the Olympic stage and realize his dream.

However, he was always worried that he would not perform well in the qualifying round and would not be able to break into the final stage in the afternoon, which would be a great failure for him and would not be able to give an explanation to the netizens who had high hopes for him.

Zhang Zhiwang is the same, if he enters the finals, even if he is eliminated in the 1/8 finals, he can be regarded as showing his face, and he may even make meritorious contributions like in the test match and help his teammates get on the podium.

But if you don't even enter the qualifying round, won't you make a fool of yourself in front of the people of the whole country? How can you live up to everyone's expectations of yourself?

The ideological baggage of these two people is too heavy, and the psychological expert brought Tang Huai to communicate, hoping to make them reposition themselves.

"It's so simple, just talk about the results."

Tang Huai compares the duo's current finishing results at the Genting Circuit with the test session a month ago, and can see a significant improvement.

At that time, they were able to reach the finals and get a good place, so what is there to worry about this time?

Similarly, he also "looked back" at the results of Li Changyi and others, good guys, after nearly two months of training, especially after experiencing the grinding of the snow pump, Li Changyi and Fan Qingwan's results on the official track have been able to stabilize at more than 1 minute and 19 seconds.

You must know that in the test match in November last year, Li Changyi skated a time of 1 minute and 20 seconds to get the first place in the preliminaries.

A top athlete can improve by 0.1 seconds, which is a huge improvement, and he has improved by almost 1 second all of a sudden!

Wu Ying is also, with her familiarity with the Genting track, she can already skate to about 1 minute and 24 seconds, which should be one of the best in the world for girls.

With such results, Tang Huai even has the confidence and confidence to compete for the gold medal in the men's and women's individual groups, of course, if he can get the gold medal in the mixed team, it will be even more beautiful.

He and several other athletes are now even desperate for the competition to come soon!
