Chapter 421 The last day of the short track competition
Camila's outstanding performance slapped the media in the face, and many so-called figure skating celebrities jumped out to put pressure:
"Athletes who violate doping rules cannot participate in competitions. There can be no exceptions to this principle. The efforts and dreams of all athletes should be treated fairly and cherished."
"CAS is definitely making the wrong choice to allow Camilla to continue participating in the Olympics! It is unfair to other athletes to allow doping athletes to participate in the competition!"
"There must be zero tolerance for doping! Even if CAS allows Camilla to compete, the Olympic Organizing Committee should cancel her results to convince the public."
"..."
For a time, the awards ceremony for the women's figure skating event was likely to be cancelled, and the postponement of gold medals became a hot topic among foreign media, and the popularity remains high!
Even within Great Russia, there were voices opposing Camilla’s continued participation.
"If Camila doesn't want the team competition to happen again, she should withdraw before the start of the free skate!"
"I really don't understand why Camilla is in the team competition? If it were Anna or Sasha, we would be the same champions!"
"If Camilla has team spirit, she should take the initiative to withdraw from the competition! Her choice is related to the honor of Russia! It is not the glory of Russia that a player involved in a doping scandal wins the championship!"
"My daughter also got 80 points in the short program. Camila is not indispensable! Even Shasha, who is in fourth place in the short program, still has a chance to win the gold medal in the women's singles!"
"..."
After a day of fermentation, these voices "reached" the ears of Russian Olympic team officials.
They directly interviewed Camilla without notifying Sister Mian, and implicitly expressed the opinions of the majority of netizens to her!
After the officials left, Camilla was confused...
She didn't know what the right thing to do was, and she didn't expect that in addition to the pressure from foreign media, she would also have to bear the pressure of domestic public opinion.
After returning to her room, Camilla just picked up her phone and wanted to find the answer from Li Yuang.
When Camilla's fingertips were about to touch Li Yuang's number, she suddenly thought that her brother had only one last event left, and that he was the last step left to make history and become a Winter Olympics legend!
Thinking of this, Camilla could no longer suppress the longing in her heart!
At this moment, Camilla forgot about her unhappiness and no longer paid attention to the constraints of team rules.
There was only one thought in her mind: I want to find him!
In the most glorious moment of Li Yuang's career, she must be by his side!
She clicked a few more times on her phone, found another number and dialed it.
"Sister Qingqing! It's me, Camilla..."
------------------
Tonight, the Capital Gymnasium was packed with people and it had already turned into a sea of red!
Even the square outside the venue was filled with Chinese ice fans. They came here for only one purpose - to witness the legend!
At the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, the Chinese short track speed skating women's team composed of Wang Meng, Zhou Yang, Zhang Hui, and Sun Linlin won all gold medals in the women's 500 meters, 1000 meters, 1500 meters, and 3000 meters relay events!
Wang Meng even won the reputation of "Three Golden Kings"!
Today, at the BJ Winter Olympics held in China, the Chinese short track speed skating men's team composed of Li Yuang, Wu Dajing, Lin Xiaojun, and Han Tianyu are very likely to replicate the miracle of their predecessors!
Once the Chinese men's short track speed skating team wins the 5,000-meter relay in today's competition, Li Yuang will achieve a miracle of winning the championship in all events!
After the men's 5000-meter relay finals of Group B, the five teams of the finals of Group A officially appeared!
"Together, the Korean team..."
"Erdao, Russian Olympic team..."
"Sandao, Team Canada..."
"Sidao, Italian team..."
Under the introduction of the on-site DJ, each team appeared one by one.
After the four-track Italian team came to an end, five young men from the Chinese short track speed skating team appeared in front of the display board!
According to regulations, only four athletes can participate in the relay competition, but the introduction is not clearly stipulated. Therefore, the Chinese team still follows the usual practice of having five athletes appear at the same time!
Facing the camera, the five people formed a semicircle and extended their right palms together!
"Team China!" "Come on!"
"Familiar slogan! The boys of the Chinese team are very energetic!"
"The playing list has also come out. The Chinese team did not use the semi-final lineup. Instead, they sent their strongest Zhenrui and replaced Li Wenwu with Wu Dajing."
"In this case, Wu Dajing should be in the first team! Li Yuang was transferred to the second team, and Lin Xiaojun and Han Tianyu were moved to the third and fourth teams respectively."
"This lineup appears for the first time in this Winter Olympics, but it has gone through many times in the World Cup... There is no problem with the tacit understanding."
As soon as Wang Meng finished speaking, Huang Jianxiang on the side joked: "In this case, the sprint stick is Li Yuang. Whether he can win all events depends on whether he can grasp it..."
Due to some reasons, the commentary booth of Mengxiang Group was moved from the live broadcast room to the competition site for the first time!
On the field, the four players of the Chinese team stepped onto the ice rink amid the cheers of the audience.
This is their last game of this Winter Olympics, and for many veteran players, it is the last time they will participate in the Olympics in front of their own door!
Everyone wants to bring their trip to Beijing to a successful conclusion!
After Li Yuang got on the ice, he waved to the audience seat opposite the podium, which immediately attracted bursts of cheers from the audience.
This is Li Yuang's habit at this Winter Olympics. His relatives and friends are all in the stands.
But today, when Li Yuang looked at their location out of habit, he only saw Li Guodong and Wang Rui!
The two people were surrounded by people wearing red cheering uniforms, sun hats, and masks with the words "Go! China" written on them!
At a quick glance, Li Yuang could tell that the person next to Li Guodong was Sun Yuanzhi. He thought the person next to Wang Rui should be Sun Yuanqing...
Are you afraid that the eldest sister will be too popular and won’t be able to appear in the show soon? Are you afraid that she will change into the same equipment on purpose?
Li Yuang didn't think about it and quickly started to warm up. It wasn't until he heard the referee's instructions that he and his teammates came to the line.
"Bang!"
Gunshot! The final competition of the men’s short track speed skating event at this Winter Olympics officially begins!
"Wu Da Jing! Let's start!"
"He did not choose to rush to the start! Instead, he followed the order and followed the team at the end."
"This should be a tactic arranged by the coaching staff. Otherwise, with Da Jing's explosive power, it would be no problem to recover two or three places."
As Wang Meng said, on the one hand, the Chinese coaching staff considers the special significance of this game, and the Chinese team is likely to be the target of public criticism!
On the other hand, since the Chinese team was sentenced to Group A in the finals, this game was participated by five teams. In other words, there were 20 players on the field at the same time! Accidents may occur if you are not careful.
Therefore, the Chinese coaching staff decided to conserve their strength in the first half and then start a desperate counterattack in the second half.
