I became the king of short track speed skating in figure skating Section 156
Or even if these two people are allowed to do it, it won't be too obvious.
In the attention of Pei Jing, Zhang Dongcheng and Su Liang and others, the men's quarterfinals group 2 event quickly kicked off.
And as Bae Kyung and Jang Dong-sung expected, South Korea's Kim Hyun-deok did do a little thing in this game - in the preparatory stage, Kim Hyun-deok rushed to violate the rules and caused the first foul recall.
Running in the run-up is almost a common move for South Koreans, and it's not very elaborate, but it's useful.
Especially in the more important the game, the stronger the mental pressure on the opponent.
It's just that in this game, Kim Hyun-deok's use of this rushing trick showed a bit of embarrassment in poor donkey skills. In order to qualify for the group, he has no other means to be able to draw his first starting foul in the starting stages, and unless he is willing to risk being discovered by the referee and use the rest of the foul in the middle of the race, this will be his last chance to foul the game.
As it turned out, Kim did not dare to use additional fouls in the quarter-finals, as it could lead to a red card after being spotted by the referee, which would not only disqualify him in the 500m race, but also in the 1km tomorrow.
For South Koreans like Kim Hyun-deok, among the 500m and 1km events, they are clearly more inclined to the 1km middle distance event.
If they lose the 1km that they could earn more points tomorrow for the sake of today's 500m event, it will be a real gain for them.
Therefore, although Kim Hyun-deok made a rush foul at the beginning of the game, he did not give any additional fouls in the following official games.
As a long-distance athlete, Kim Hyun-deok really doesn't have a strong advantage in the 500m.
Facing Mu Yuansheng and Vladislav, two players with strong short-distance explosiveness, he finally said that he barely crossed the finish line with the third place in the group and failed to qualify for the semi-finals.
In this group, Mu Yuansheng still successfully qualified for the semifinals with the first place in the group, and after the end of the second group of events, some staff came to the preparation area of Su Liang's group to guide the contestants in the third group of the quarterfinals to go to the ice entrance and prepare to board the ice.
At this time, the players in Group 2 of the quarterfinals had all exited the ice, and when they exited, Mu Yuansheng and Su Liang, who was about to appear, staggered each other, and at the moment when the two looked at each other, Mu Yuansheng put his right hand on his chest and smiled at Su Liang - that was where the golden lucky card between him and Su Liang was.
And thenβ
"Come on."
At the moment when the two of them staggered by, Su Liang heard his senior brother gently leave these two words in his ear.
Su Liang instinctively 'um', but he didn't know if his small answer and the senior brother who had gradually walked away could hear his answer.
However, this trouble only lasted until the moment he stepped on the ice, and after reaching the ice, Su Liang refocused his attention on the arena in front of him.
Because Su Liang's results and performance in the first two groups of competitions made him the first among the five players in the same group, the track he belonged to was the most advantageous lane in this group of competitions.
On Su Liang's right hand is Chris Royster from the United States, and from lane 3 to lane 5, they are Julian from Canada, Olumid from Great Britain and Jun Yamashita from Japan.
At the same time, in the commentary room of the domestic sports channel, Liao Yuwei and Lin Fangzheng were carefully observing the situation on the ice.
Although the two of them did not mention that Su Liang may have physical problems during the live broadcast, in fact, the two of them were one of the first domestic people to receive Su Liang's suspected physical problems.
In the initial qualifying round, the two of them were also deeply worried about Su Liang, thinking that Su Liang might be forcing himself, but with the end of the group preliminaries, both of them had a trace of doubt in their hearts - it was really Su Liang's performance in the qualifying round and the preliminaries was too smooth.
It was so smooth that it was difficult for Liao Yuwei and Lin Fangzheng, the two veteran commentators, to convince themselves to accept the setting that Su Liang on the ice was facing a serious lack of physical fitness at the moment.
Not only Liao Yuwei Rainforest Fangzheng, but all the ice fans who are watching the game in China at this moment are also observing Su Liang who has come to the ice.
But unlike Liao Yuwei and Lin Fangzheng, when these domestic ice fans looked at Su Liang, they had a 100-meter-thick filter in their eyes, and they all felt that Su Liang, who was on the ice, was pale, and it must be because his physical strength could no longer support it!
Su Liang: ......
In fact, Su Liang, who was born with white skin, didn't know what kind of brain supplement his skin color gave ice fans.
At this moment, his attention was only on the track in front of him, and the opponents on his right were also only focusing on the track in front of him and the opponents they identified with - of course, the opponents they identified with did not include Su Liang, who had been excluded from the competition list by them.
Su Liang didn't care much about the attitude of these opponents, he just quietly prepared in front of his track.
After the starters on the scene gave their positions, preparations and the sound of the starting gun slamming, the third group of the men's quarterfinals on the scene also officially kicked off.
At the same time as the slamming starting gun rang out, the audience at the scene was already ringing enthusiastic cheers, and at the same time as the cheering sounded the sound of the skateboard runners on the ice starting to sprint.
Five riders on the ice boarded the ice at the same moment as the starting gun sounded, and Chris from the United States, Julian from Canada, and Olumid from Great Britain all sprinted forward at full speed at the same moment to compete for the lead position in the innermost lane.
For the 500m sprint, the battle for the lead position at the start is of course unmatched by the 1500m distance.
Because of the short 500-meter race, fast start and high lap speed, it is usually very difficult for a competitor to overtake the opponent in front of him from the outside in the 500-meter stage, and winning the lead position is the biggest guarantee for the 500-meter runner to occupy the initiative of the entire race.
Therefore, at the beginning of the race, Chris, Julian and Olumid quickly joined the battle for the leading position in the opening stage for their own results.
Among the 5 players present, only Su Liang, who was in the innermost road but lacked initial explosiveness, and Jun, a Japanese player in the outermost way, Jun Yamashita, did not join this battle.
Yamashita Jun was unable to participate in the melee because he was in the outermost way and his explosiveness was also lacking, and Su Liang, who was in the innermost way, did not join the melee, which was considered by everyone to be a proof that he was no longer able to compete for the qualification in this game.
After seeing that Su Liang did not join the scramble for the leading position, there was a faint loss on their faces, but they were more worried about Su Liang.
The other teams who were observing Su Liang at the same time showed a hint of what was really the case after seeing Su Liang's performance - in the previous qualifying and group rounds, Su Liang had gone all out in the starting stage, and grabbed the lead skating position in two consecutive games, and in this quarter-final, he must have known that he had no hope of qualifying, so he didn't even grab the leading sliding position.
With this in mind, after seeing that Su Liang was only in the fourth position in the field in the first lap stage, the rest of the people finally turned their attention away from Su Liang and turned their attention to the three players from the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom in front of them.
Su Liang, who was considered by everyone on the ice to have no hope of attacking, just quietly maintained his rhythm of following the skating, and after the race entered the third lap, the competition between Chris Julian and Olumid in front of him has also come to an end.
At this point, Julian from Canada took the lead for the time being, followed by Great Britain's Olumid and Chris of the United States barely occupied third place ahead of Su Liang.
And that's when everything changed.
First of all, the second corner of the 3rd lap.
Chris in front of Su Liang was unable to control his corner route well because he had consumed too much energy in the previous stage of the battle for the lead position, so he left a gap in the inner lane that was about enough for half a person to pass.
However, Chris was not too nervous about this, after all, this was just a gap that could barely be passed, and behind him, it was just a Chinese team player Su Liang, who had no hope of qualifying......
The thought had barely crossed Chris's mind when he felt someone flicker through his inner passage.
What's the situation? Who is it?!
Could it be the player from Japan?
Such a thought had just popped up in Chris's mind, and he saw clearly who the player who had surpassed him at this time was - it was in his heart that Su Liang, a Chinese player who had long lost hope of qualifying.
Is it Su Liang?
How can it be?!
This discovery shocked Chris's heart, so much so that after waking up, he missed the opportunity to chase Su Liang in front of him for the first time.
After seeing Su Liang's transcendence, the audience at the scene first gave a burst of applause and cheers, and then they quickly discovered that Su Liang's transcendence had not stopped.
A brief cheer was followed by more and more frenzied screams and cheers.
And these fanatical screams and cheers were also given to Su Liang, a Chinese player who was no longer favored by many people present.
After Su Liang passed Chris in the second corner of lap 3, his movements did not stop, and then when he entered the first straight stage of lap 4, Su Liang had already placed himself lightly on the outside lane.
In the straight stage of lap 4, Su Liang added knives under his feet in succession to start the chase of British player Olumid in front.
At this time, Olumid is tightly controlling the inner lane - he must ensure that his inner path is not lost, even if he knows that the pursuers from the rear are trying to attack him on the outer road, but Olumid firmly believes that as long as he controls the inner way, then the opponent on the outer road wants to complete the overtaking of him, it is not so easy.
In fact, Olumid was right in this idea, but the Su Liang he faced was not so easy to deal with.
In the straight stage, Su Liang's sword at his feet did make him gradually get closer to Olumide, shortening the distance between the two of them from about one meter to about one position, but even so, the distance between him and Olumid was still not enough for him to easily complete the overtaking.
For a while, he was close to the position behind Olumid about half a position, which was indeed the limit of Su Liang's speed at this stage.
Although Olumid was frightened by Su Liang's chasing speed, he was slightly relieved when he saw that Su Liang was stuck about half a body away from him, but it was a pity that as soon as this breath was released, he lifted it up again when he turned the corner.
It's not that Olumid lost control of his inside lane in the corners, he still managed his approach and control of the inside lane in the corners.
But it's a pity that Su Liang didn't attack him in the inner Dao stage.
How could he forget that Su Liang was a competitor who could skate at full speed in the corners?
Although this is a very incredible thing, there will be a perverted player like Su Liang in this world - a player who can not only maintain full speed skating in the cornering stage, but even be able to accelerate under the foot of the knife in the cornering stage.
Perhaps because Su Liang's physical fitness was already very reluctant by default, Olumid did not think that Su Liang would be able to continue to maintain such control and speed ability in the cornering stage.
But at this point, it's useless to talk about it.
In just an arc corner, Su Liang once again completed the overtaking of the British player Olumide, and at this point, only Julian from Canada was left in front of Su Liang.
In front of the live TV broadcast in China, all the ice fans who were watching the game were excited and confused at this time.
[What's the situation?] Doesn't it mean that Su Liang's physical fitness will be completely exhausted in the previous qualifying and preliminary stages? So what about his performance in the quarter-finals? γ
[So is it possible that Su Liang can still complete the qualification preliminaries and quarterfinals under the condition of physical exhaustion? ] γ
γβ¦β¦γ
[If that's the case, what about those who haven't run out of energy, or even only participated in a single event in the 500 meters, but have not been able to advance to the quarterfinals or the qualifying preliminaries?] γ
γβ¦β¦ Ahh γ
The ice fans on the Ice Kingdom forum watched the crazy chase on the last lap on the live TV broadcast, and watched the discussion on the forum, and everyone was blindfolded.
On the ice, Canada's Julian of course had already felt the chase from the rear players, but Julian, who was always in the lead position, did not realize that it was not the original opponent who was chasing him at this moment, but Su Liang from Huaguo.
By the time the race reached the second corner of lap 4, the lap counter had already sounded the bell to indicate that there was only one lap left in the race.
It was also in the second corner of the fourth lap of the race that Julian realized that it was Su Liang, a Chinese player who was no longer in their eyes, who was chasing him from behind.
At this moment, Julian's mind was reminded of the same thoughts as Chris and Olumid - how could it be?
But there was no time left for him to think.
Like many 500m explosive athletes, Julian has a strong explosive ability, but his cornering technique is not as delicate, and Julian is unable to skate at full speed in the corners in order to control his course in the corners.
In fact, Julian is also aware of his shortcomings, but his coaches, including his coaches, feel that his problem is not too fatal at this stage.
- If he had known that he would encounter a devil like Su Liang on the field, Julian thought that he would definitely work harder in his past training to train his cornering ability.
It's a pity that it's too late to think about such a question now.
In the second corner of the fourth lap, the three players who were originally competing for the lead position in the opening stage of the race have all been overtaken by Su Liang at this stage.
In the last half lap, Su Liang finished the race with an absolutely suppressed lead.
It wasn't until Su Liang successfully finished the game again as the first in the group that the coaches and players from other countries present looked at Su Liang, who had already crossed the line on the ice, and fell into silence for a long time.
Not so long ago, what were they thinking?
Oh, what they were talking about at the time was - this Su Liang has no hope.
So at the moment when this thought came to mind, many people silently covered their side faces, and faintly felt a trace of pain in their faces.
Chapter 138
After Su Liang successfully qualified for the 500m semifinals again with the first place in the group, Canada's Julian looked at Su Liang's back and fell into a long hesitation and silence, he looked at Su Liang in disbelief who crossed the line in front of him, and his mind was muddy.
- Hey, what the hell is going on? Isn't Su of the Huaguo team already lacking in physical fitness and has no ability to continue to break out? But he still won the game?
