I became the king of short track speed skating in figure skating Section 136
In fact, everyone in the lounge was happy and excited about Wu Gang's victory, but the excitement was interrupted by Sun Erxiang's ghost roar.
At this time, after laughing at Sun Erxiang, everyone also expressed their happiness about Wu Gang's achievements.
Sun Erxiang was still wearing skating clothes and skates, and he didn't bother to take them off first, but stepped on the skate sleeve and came to Su Liang's massage table.
He was originally tall and tall, and at this time he was stepping on skate skates and skate blades, not to mention one meter nine, but when he arrived at Su Liang's massage table, he shrank up with a 'whoosh', squatted on the side of Su Liang's bed, and then began to mumble.
"Boss, boss, what did you say about Wu Gang and that Jiang, who won in the end?"
The team doctor on the side saw that Sun Ruixiang had to come over, and thought that something was wrong with him, but when he heard this question, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Silly boy, just like the two of them crossed the line side by side, who can see clearly?" Wait for the final result. In a few moments, it will be time for the referee to announce the results. ”
Sun Erxiang scratched his head, and when he heard the team doctor say this, he was not annoyed, but smirked and responded, "It seems to be the same." ”
Su Liang silently glanced at the two goods, then was silent for two seconds, and responded: "It's Wu Gang who won." ”
"Huh?!"
Sun Erxiang didn't expect his boss to really give him an answer, and then after hearing that it was Wu Gang who won, he jumped up even more with his hands dancing, celebrating Wu Gang's victory, and not forgetting to blow his boss's rainbow fart: "Boss, why are you so powerful?" We didn't even see you! ”
There was no doubt about his boss's judgment between the words.
However, the team doctor on the side was surprised: "Xiao Liang, just the picture of crossing the line just now, there is no close-up of the ice blade, can you see this clearly?" ”
Su Liang let out a soft 'um' sound, and then said, "My dynamic vision is not bad. ”
When the team doctor heard this, he opened his mouth and wanted to say - isn't this a good level?
Without waiting for the team doctor to say anything more, the TV screen in the lounge had already given the final ranking and results of the quarterfinals Wu Gang's group.
Sure enough, it was indeed Wu Gang who won the victory in the end, and he won the victory over Jiang Yanhe by just 0.145 seconds.
He and Kang Yeon-ha's times were 2:27.198 and 2:27.343 respectively.
When the team doctor in the lounge praised Su Liang's dynamic vision, Jiang Yanhe at the scene suddenly turned blue after seeing the final results released by the referee team.
Lost.
He actually lost again!
Still lost to another Chinese player!
At this moment, you don't need to look at him to know what kind of face the head coach Li Yonghe will look like waiting for the coach's command seat next to the field.
Jiang Yanhe gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, still unable to believe that he failed to win the group in the quarterfinals.
And just as he thought, Li Yonghe, who was in the coach's command seat on the side, was already like the bottom of a pot, and the green tendons on his forehead were suddenly jumping.
It's humiliation!
It's another humiliation of failure!
He knew that Jiang Yanhe was not reliable!
After seeing Jiang Yanhe exit, Li Yonghe glared at him viciously, and the anger on his face was undisguised, as if he wanted to scold Jiang Yanhe on the spot and drive him out of the South Korean team.
"Get back, rubbish!"
Li Yonghe almost gritted his teeth and said these five words.
After Jiang Yanhe heard this angry reprimand, his fists clenched, and then he silently bowed his head and answered, 'Yes, coach', before turning around and walking in the direction of the exit channel.
***
Not far away, Pei Jing, the coach of the Huaguo team, and Zhang Dongcheng, the team leader, also noticed Li Yonghe's movement of teaching Jiang Yanhe a lesson, and they silently shook their heads in their hearts and did not open their mouths to comment on anything.
The atmosphere of the South Korean coach, that is, the irresistible division commander, and the radical utilitarian performance of all the staff, have made the South Korean players always under extreme high pressure from mental to physical pressure.
Over the years, they have also learned about some of South Korea's training methods and measures, and they may be able to learn from other aspects, but Lin Guobin expressed absolute opposition.
- [Athletes are also people, don't use athletes as tools.] 】
In Lin Guobin's thoughts, the South Korean team just doesn't treat the players as human beings at all, and they have also heard of the loss rate and the frequency of replacement of those players in South Korea.
But every time they see the attitude of these South Korean coaches towards the players, they still can't help but sigh in their hearts that the South Korean team is really not a place where any normal person can stay.
But forget it, this matter really has nothing to do with the Huaguo team.
After Pei Jing and the others looked at each other silently, they turned their attention back to Wu Gang, and then applauded in unison to celebrate Wu Gang's victory.
After Wu Gang saw the ranking results on the final electronic screen, he also waved his fist to celebrate his victory, even if the fatigue and soreness in his body had surged up at this time, he still did not regret his final battle.
When he skated to the edge of the ring, Pei Jing and Zhang Dongcheng were already waiting for him on the sidelines.
"Well done! Well done! ”
Pei Jing patted Wu Gang's shoulder, and then quickly noticed his tired state.
"Your physical strength...... Running out, right? ”
Pei Jing then said decisively: "Hurry up, go back to the lounge first!" ”
The feeling of exhaustion at this moment made Wu Gang unable to say anything, so he nodded and followed Zhang Dongcheng and Pei Jing back to the backcourt lounge.
As soon as they knocked on the door, a staff member of the Huaguo team in the lounge immediately opened the door and took them in.
"Hurry up, hurry up, go and bring him the physical fitness supplement drink for Wu Gang."
As soon as he entered the door, Pei Jing directly opened his mouth and ordered, and after someone brought the physical supplement drink, he handed it directly to Wu Gang's hand.
Then let him take two sips and go to change into a skating suit and come out and wait in line for a massage.
There is no way, there are only two masseurs in the team, one for each of the men's and women's teams, a set of massage is 30 minutes, and you have to queue up, and considering the competition between Su Liang and the three in the afternoon, in addition to Su Liang's ability to eat in time after the massage, the other two are estimated to have to eat something first, and then continue to massage and relax after resting for half an hour.
Pei Jing counted this time, and decisively gave up the plan to let Su Liang and them go back to the hotel to rest at noon, fortunately, there are enough backcourt lounges in Budapest, and the lounges for each team are also very sufficient, which also takes into account the rest of the players, although it is not as comfortable as the hotel, but it is still no problem to take a nap.
So after sending Wu Gang to the lounge, Pei Jing hurriedly communicated with the coach of the women's team, and did not waste time running to the hotel at noon, and the time was gone for 1 hour back and forth, the game started at 2:30 p.m., and there was a group draw 1 hour before the game.
It's almost 12 o'clock at this time, and if you go back and forth to eat something at the hotel, it will be gone in an hour and a half, and the players can't rest at all, so they might as well stay in the lounge.
Fortunately, the organizer also provides meals that meet the standards, although the taste is not good, and the nutrition or whether it is suitable for pre-game consumption also needs to be paid attention to by the players themselves, but there is a stutter.
Pei Jing was busy dealing with various things here, and Su Liang in the lounge could be regarded as a rare respite from the tense schedule of the day.
When Wu Gang arrived just now, Er Xiang went to change his skating suit and skates, and when Er Xiang and Wu Gang returned to the lounge, Er Xiang gave Wu Gang a thumbs up excitedly.
"Wu Gang, you are so awesome!"
"You looked so handsome in your final sprint just now!"
- Actually, of course it's not handsome, because the lunge sprint action at the end of the short track speed skating line completely breaks the balance of the player's body, and it looks like he wants to fall or not.
However, Sun Erxiang boasted a sincere face, without any reluctance and hypocrisy.
Wu Gang glanced at Sun Erxiang silently, and noticed that there was really no haze in the eyes of his teammate, so after a short silence, he silently 'um', originally wanted to say thank you, but he still didn't say it.
At this time, Su Liang's massage was finally over, and after he turned over and stood up, he glanced at Wu Gang and nodded at him: "Congratulations." ”
Wu Gang's expression became even more awkward, and after a long silence, he also said 'um' and stopped talking.
Su Lianghe and Wu Gang, whenever they meet, it is iceberg to iceberg, and it is also a loss that there is Sun Erxiang in the room.
After he got up with Su Liang, he pulled Su Liang and Wu Gang to chatter together.
"In the quarterfinals just now, Wu Gang, you and my boss both won the first place in the group, and I was the only one who was second...... It's over, I'm not going to be cold in the semifinals in the afternoon, am I? Yes! That's not good, I don't want to be cold! ”
Su Liang: ......
Wu Gang: ......
They didn't expect that before the competition had even started, an athlete would be able to say such nonsense with such a big grin.
Su Liang and Wu Gang's thinking rarely entered the same channel, and they both wanted to smoke this guy Erxiang/cover his mouth.
But although Er Xiang's mouth needs to be covered, his worry is not wrong.
Although the three of them of the Huaguo team successfully advanced to the semi-finals together, from the semi-finals to the finals, it once again became a 18-in-6 mode.
There were a total of 3 semi-finals and 18 contestants, and only 6 of them were able to advance to the finals.
This semi-final will be the race with the highest elimination rate in the 1500m race schedule, and it will also be the most brutal race.
The strength of the players who have been able to advance to the present is beyond doubt.
Except for a limited number of players, the vast majority of the rest of the players did not say who could definitely beat anyone.
It's just a matter of who's playing better, in better shape – or luckier.
In the semi-finals, the group draw will continue to follow the same principle as the quarter-final draw, and players from the same country will be split into different groups.
So far, a total of 3 countries have advanced to the semi-finals, namely South Korea, Canada and China...... Players from these three countries, as well as those from other countries, will compete for the final qualification in this semi-final in the afternoon.
At the same time, in this afternoon match, each of them will inevitably meet a South Korean opponent and a Canadian opponent, and for the sake of the final, I believe that every team has the same idea - they need to enter the final as much as possible in order to be able to fight against the South Korean team in the final.
It can be said that the 1500-meter battle of this World Youth Championships, a truly severe test, has just begun!
Chapter 124
During the lunch break at noon, no one dared to disturb the three Su Liang who were resting, and it was not until 1:20 p.m. that a staff member came to knock on the door of the lounge and asked Su Liang and the three to go to the backcourt lottery area to wait for the group draw at 1:30.
Although the two games in the morning were not a small drain on Su Liang's physical fitness and energy, after all, they were all young people, and Su Liang's recovery ability was quite good.
Relatively speaking, Wu Gang's recovery state may be a little worse, after all, Wu Gang finally tried his best to barely win the South Korean team's Jiang Yanhe in the morning game, and Su Liang and Sun Ruixiang have not yet reached the time to use their best in the morning game.
But Wu Gang didn't say anything, but calmly followed Su Liang and Sun Ruixiang to the lottery site.
At the end of the morning game, Su Liang didn't pay attention to who the finalists were, but at this time, all the 18 semi-finalists had arrived, and Su Liang also saw at a glance who the finalists were present.
First up to half of the number were the three players from China, South Korea and Canada, followed by Japan's Kazuhei Kobayashi and Suzuki Hongo, Italy's Antonio Moreau, as well as one from the United Kingdom, Germany, Belgium, two American players and one Arseni Kiborer from Russia.
Among them, Su Liang, who is from Britain, Germany, Belgium and the United States, did not have much of an impression, but the Russian Arseny Kiborer made a deep impression on Su Liang in the sixth group of the quarterfinals in the morning.
"It's supposed to be a sprint race."
Although this year's World Youth Championships allowed players to only sign up for the events they are good at, there were many teams from many countries that allowed players to register for all events, with only three players each in each of the men's and women's events.
This is the case with the ranks of Russia.
In Russia, Vladislav is clearly better at the 500m sprint, and Arseny Kibor, who made it to the final, is even more so.
However, in the last World Junior Championships, the Arseny Kipoll did not represent Russia, so not many people know him.
Su Liang also didn't know this Arseny, at least in his impression, there was no Arseni Kipol among the Russian short track speed skating stars, but it did not prevent this Arseni from performing well at this year's World Junior Championships.
