Volume 3 Come on, let's go to the future together Chapter 273 Winter Olympics Women's Final (Part II)
The first group of semi-finals was quickly contested, with Brockhoff in the first and Moioli in the second, and Pluto and Lockz in the other two.
Without Wu Ying's competition, there was no doubt about the advancement of this group, with Moioli and Brockhoff both World Champions and Crystal Globe winners easily crushing the other two young players who had advanced by luck to qualify for the Grand Final.
The second group of semi-finals quickly began to prepare, and Fan Qingwan took a brief break and stood on the starting platform with Samkova (Czech Republic), Jacobelis (USA) and Kasanova (Switzerland).
She has competed against all three of these players and knows the strength and characteristics of each other.
The previous 1/4 finals seemed to be a warm-up, and Wu Ying's extraordinary performance had already made her enter a state of excitement, so she didn't take these three people into her eyes at all, and after preparing for so long, she just grabbed the first place and it was over.
Tang Huai's appearance appeared in her mind, and she was still shouting those three words: "Bold and slippery!" ”
In this wonderful state, she suddenly noticed that the departure door in front of her was open, so she rushed out without thinking.
It's amazing, she didn't hear the password, she didn't notice when Tang Huai left her side, and she didn't know what the opponent's situation was, as if she slipped out as if she was acting on instinct.
It was precisely this instinct that made her react faster than the other three, and almost completely opened the departure door to achieve a seamless connection.
So she took the lead, completely leaving her opponent in a position.
At the start, this lead was terrifying, as Fan would take the lead through the Snow Dam section and then accelerate down the Yima Pingchuan section to dramatically extend the advantage.
Samkova, despite all her might, was unable to speed up in such a bumpy place.
When she finally jumped onto the last snow dam and began to accelerate, Fan Qingwan had already passed the wave bag obstacle and was about to enter the first corner.
The audience was boiling, which was so surprising, the host of the scene had just introduced the players, Samkova and Jacobelis were both world champions who once dominated an era.
So everyone thought that the semi-finals would be very difficult, and there would be fierce competition, and they were even worried that Fan Qingwan would be violated and left like Wu Ying.
Who knew that such a situation would occur, the competition had completely become Fan Qingwan's performance alone, and the bright resumes of the three foreign players could only set off her getting better and better.
Just like the previous race, Fan Qingwan easily crossed the finish line and advanced to the finals as the top of the group.
As for the next three players, seeing that there was no hope of competing for the first place, they fought fiercely for the remaining qualifications.
Among them, Samkova and Yagbellis took the lead alternately, and even had a scrap at one point, if they fought a little harder at that time, with some movement in their hands, it is estimated that Kasanova would be in hot pursuit.
Luckily, the two of them were experienced, and after a slight shake in their bodies, they immediately stabilized their balance and sprinted side by side.
In the end, the referee ruled with a high-speed camera that Jacobelis's skis crossed the line by a few centimeters.
With that, the World Title contender was confirmed, and Fan Ching Wan will compete in the Grand Final alongside Moioli, Brockhoff and Jacobellis.
The list is extravagant, as Moioli was the last Olympic champion and has won the Crystal Globe for three years in a row. Brockhoff also won the Crystal Globe for two years in a row and finished in the top three in the world after returning from injury last year.
As for Jacobelis, not to mention, the strength of the five-time world champion, the trophies and medals at home are placed in several cabinets.
On the contrary, Fan Qingwan is not famous among the four people, and there is not much honor. This girl suddenly became the favorite to win the championship and became the most high-profile figure in the Olympic event that day.
The people of the whole country feel that she can add another gold medal to the motherland, and even many foreigners who pay attention to the competition are convinced of this, because judging from the data of the previous races, she is really good, and the results of each race are breaking records.
Among them, the semi-final score has surpassed the 1'21"79 in the preliminaries of Wuying, and reached the score of 1'21"45.
When Tang Huai saw this data, his eyes were about to pop out: "Good girl, this girl is amazing!" Come on, hold on, we'll definitely get the gold medal! ”
Half an hour later, when Samkova and others left the venue after the small final, Fan Qingwan once again stood on the starting platform of the familiar track.
This is the 6th time she has stood in this position today, and she has been expressionless, at this time she has no distractions, and there is only the end in her eyes.
The red vest she was given a perfect match for the color of the five-star red flag, and it was the most vivid and dazzling on the bright white snow track.
The audience was already boiling, and everyone stood up and roared hoarsely and cheered.
Not only at the scene, but also on the big screens on the streets of many cities across the country, in front of the TVs of thousands of households, there are countless Chinese shouting and cheering for her.
The most exciting moment arrived, when the referee shouted the order, the starting door opened smoothly, and the four athletes rushed onto the track like arrows from the string.
This time Fan Qingwan was not able to take the lead easily, her starting reaction was still fast, but her opponent was just as good.
Moioli on the left is highly skilled, and only uses the compliant means of changing lanes, which oppresses Fan Qingwan's right to choose the route, so that she cannot leave the golden path.
Jacobelis, who was on the right, understood and also posted it, so that Fan Qingwan lost the last chance to change lanes, and could only slow down into the first corner.
What's even more troublesome is that Brockhoff obviously has the advantage of being a fisherman, but the Australian female player is well aware of the weakness of the huddle tactic, and once she starts to overtake, she will break this short-lived alliance and give Fan Qingwan a chance to fight back.
So she deliberately suppressed the speed, separated from the three of them, and also restrained Fan Qingwan.
The world championship titles of these three people are not picked up for nothing, they have all experienced countless dangerous interceptions and blocks, and even malicious violations have not been dealt with, and at this time, three against one is actually very handy.
The audience hasn't seen the doorway yet, and they are still trying to shout and cheer, but the hearts of Tang Huai, Li Changyi and others outside the track have sunk to the bottom, and the time to come is finally here, in this case, Fan Qingwan's chances of winning are slim.
They have trained a lot of breakthrough tactics, and they can't use them in this kind of impregnable encirclement, and the real chance is only at the moment of the final sprint.
After all, only the last few tens of meters is when the temporary alliance of the other party is completely broken.
"No, she's not going to leave it to fate!"
Wu Ying came out of nowhere, rushed to the edge of the track and shouted: "Fight!" Don't be cowardly! ”
Sure enough, after the second and third consecutive corners of the bag gradually fell behind, Fan Qingwan was unwilling to make a breakthrough, she planned to take advantage of the big downhill in front of the fourth corner, and forced through the gap between Moioli and Jacobelis.
Don't look at the gap between the two is only a dozen centimeters, but for her who has experienced the training of "snow canoe bridge", this gap is wide enough.
I saw that she continued to lower her body, squeezing in as if it were completely unreasonable, and when the three skis were about to scratch and collide, she pressed her toes, and made a very slight standing movement, so that one side of the skis lifted and glided against Jacobelis's skis.
This kind of walking is usually made by inertia, and it is difficult to maintain balance like stepping on a tightrope, but she did it.
Tang Huai's face changed greatly, and he said in a trembling voice: "It's not good, it's too reluctant, slow down, slow down, I'd rather lose this ......"
The jump in front of the fourth corner is very steep, and if Fan Qingwan does not slow down, she will rush out of the track, but the contact surface between her skis and the track is only a thin layer of steel blades, and the left and right sides are both opponents' bags, and this posture is impossible to make movements at all.
Fan Qingwan was gambling, she bet that the other two would not dare to maintain this speed and rush to the jumping platform, as long as the other party slowed down, there would inevitably be a momentary flaw.
Sure enough, the two foreign players glared at Fan Qingwan, and the more they watched, the more panicked they became, and finally made a snow rubbing action at their extreme deceleration position.
It was at this moment that Fan Qingwan stood out from the bag and rushed to the jumping platform without slowing down at all.
Just when inertia threw her into the air, she suddenly made half a flat flower action, not even half to be exact, that is, she directly twisted her body, so that the front blade of the ski was horizontal on the snow slope, artificially creating an accident of falling down.
As a result, her original momentum in the air came to an abrupt end, and the whole person rolled directly to the back of the jumping platform.
The posture is embarrassing, the movement is dangerous, and even nine out of ten viewers will think that it is her mistake, but it is very effective in curbing the catastrophic fate of her being thrown off the track by inertia.
Fan Qingwan used a forward rolling posture to relieve the force when she fell, and stood up.
Her opponent is still in the air, and there is hope as long as she can get into the corner quickly to gain momentum downhill......
It was as if she saw the finish beckoning, the audience cheering, and the national anthem echoing around.
However, a sudden sharp pain hit her back, and she screamed, spurting out a mouthful of blood and fainting.
Afterwards, Brockhoff cried and knelt in the snow to ask for forgiveness, saying that she definitely didn't mean it, but the person was uncontrollable in mid-air, and Fan Qingwan happened to stand on her landing point again......
And no one at the scene paid attention to her at all, because everyone panicked and was busy rescuing Fan Qingwan, she was like being hit by a car traveling 70 miles per hour, and it was a thin snowboard that hit her back.
Moioli and Jacobelis crossed the finish line one after another, but the award ceremony was postponed, and the two looked gloomy and guilty, and could only stand together with skis and whisper.
