12, picked up the champion

The sports reporters at the scene felt the fierce and enthusiastic atmosphere, interviewed the audience, and their own emotions were also aroused.

In their eyes, the winner of this game has basically been determined, either Lucius, Harrison or several other Brazilians.

Lucious and Harrison from the United States are longboard downhill veterans. In the previous qualifying competition, they respectively won the first place in each group and are the most powerful contenders for the championship in this competition.

Among them, Lucius has participated in the Tianmenshan Longboard Downhill Open several times, is quite familiar with this track, and has achieved very good results in the past.

Harrison is younger, has very explosive power, and his strong body makes him extremely aggressive.

Each of these two people has its own characteristics and advantages, and it is difficult to distinguish them.

In addition, there are several Brazilian and Mexican players who are also strong contenders for medals.

After all, the competition process changes rapidly. Whoever performs poorly will make mistakes and miss the medal, and whoever performs beyond the standard will get the medal.

But all in all, it will always be one of those few people. After all, no matter how many unexpected factors there are, the one who can win the championship in the end still depends on his strength.

The reporters had written the press release in advance and produced several versions based on the guessed candidates. Once the winner was finally determined, the prepared press release was sent out as soon as possible.

The competition number on Yunian's bracelet is the number 31.

The final number is calculated based on the timing ranking of the qualifying round, which means that he ranked second to last among the 32 players who entered the final.

"There will never be another number like this, this is the last time."

Yu Nian jumped from the starting point of the track and did not retain his speed from the beginning.

He was already in Tianmen Mountain, where he was alone, and he knew every turn of this road by heart.

He will once again jump into this giant painting called Tianmen Mountain. This time, he will no longer personally measure every section of the road and every bend.

Rather, it is like a surging river flowing along this winding road.

Once you start sliding down, all worries are forgotten.

At the beginning, Yu Nian relied on the slope to increase his speed as fast as possible.

The howling wind was left behind, and the scenery on both sides quickly retreated, as if some giant was using its huge palms to pull back the scenery curtains on both sides.

He enjoyed this moment of complete freedom, the distance between him and the speed was zero.

He left everyone behind.

The commentator didn't even have time to drink. Seeing how exciting it was, he shouted in surprise: "His speed! Registration number 9877635, final number 31, his speed is amazing! We saw on the electronic screen on the roadside that he

The instantaneous speed reached 125 kilometers per hour!"

Wu Qian, who was watching the game, clasped his hands together, and Deng Jingwei next to him felt dizzy when he heard the commentator's words.

125 kilometers per hour?? The maximum speed limit of this highway is 120km/h, right? This is faster than the fastest car on the highway??

Yesterday, he climbed to the popular Tianmen Mountain Temple and worshiped this Buddha statue and that Bodhisattva with great piety, hoping that these gods and Buddhas could bless his artists' safety during today's competition.

Who knew that when he came up, his heart would jump into his throat.

Yu Nian stepped on the longboard, with his front foot on the front axle at a 45-degree angle, his knees perpendicular to the board, and his back knees resting on his calves. This posture allowed him to control his center of gravity extremely steadily.

.

His advantage lies in the first half of the race. His physical strength can only last for 15 minutes. He must establish an absolute advantage at a high enough speed in the early stage.

So from the beginning, he had no intention of retaining speed.

Behind Yu Nian, the other players were disturbed by his high speed and their rhythm was slightly disordered.

Does this Chinese person not want his life?

The turning corner is approaching, but he dares to use such speed. Can he slow down to the maximum cornering speed before the curve arrives?

If not, what awaits him will be a violent impact caused by inertia and centrifugal force, and even protective gear cannot save him!

Yu Nian was fully focused and could only see the road in front of him.

He knew he could control his center of gravity and corner at extreme speed——

So he did it.

The wheels rolled over the ground and turned smoothly!

The first turning back corner was a near miss, but the next one we faced was a dense curve area.

The endless U-shaped turns will be an unparalleled test.

The commentator was also worried about Yu Nian's speed: "Tianmen Mountain has ninety-nine turns, and every turn is a dead end! It will soon be a corner-intensive area. This will be the highlight of this game, and the gap will be significantly widened.

open!"

Turn 88, cake tower.

A continuous U-shaped bend of nearly 180 degrees, with a slope as high as 35 degrees, but the road width is only six meters!

Here, no matter how powerful the downhill hand movement is, it will slow down and reveal an obvious sense of sluggishness.

But Yu Nian's movements were still smooth.

He could clearly feel the slipperiness caused by the water seeping out of the cliff.

The scorching sun couldn't reach the dark places covered by the cliffs, and the rainwater didn't have time to evaporate.

But at this moment, the slippery rain that troubled other players became a boost for him to speed up.

Entering and exiting the bend, his body was as smooth as waves rushing on the road, naturally changing the curve of travel with the curvature of each bend.

The commentator's voice was fast: "Beautiful! The cornering of No. 31 was so perfect! No. 31 still chose the most dangerous cornering method. In a five-turn back turn like the cake tower, it entered the corner from the inside and drifted directly through the corner!

"

"This is the extreme speed cornering. We can see that the instantaneous speed displayed on the electronic plate is 71 kilometers per hour!"

"The ultimate speed, the cornering speed reaches 71 kilometers per hour, this is the well-deserved ultimate speed!"

There was still excitement and fright in his voice: "This is too dangerous and unbelievable!"

"But we can clearly feel that player No. 31 is at ease! Compared to the cautious and conservative nature of the qualifying round, he has completely transformed!"

"He seems to have the whole process engraved in his mind!"

Behind Yu Nian, Harrison, who ranked first in the qualifying round and numbered No. 1 in the final, failed to make a smooth turn and lost control of his center of gravity in a small pool of water. The direction of his longboard was tilted and he fell directly from the center of the bend.

His fall was like a signal. Lucius and others made mistakes one after another, which widened the gap between them and Yu Nian.

"No. 1 fell! Fortunately, he was not injured. He immediately returned to the longboard and continued the game! Not far behind him, No. 3 also made a mistake, and his speed in turning was delayed!"

"As you can see, yesterday's rain did have a big impact on the players. Let us wish them good luck!"

In the next short tunnel where he could not see his fingers, Yu Nian squatted down, and the slider on his gloves caused a string of sparks due to the violent friction with the road surface, lighting up the dark tunnel.

If reality is shrouded in darkness, no light can be seen on the way forward.

It's up to him to make that light himself.

Dazzling, dazzling, scorching.

No matter what the road ahead is, there will never be hesitation.

His path can only be forward, not retreat.

Want absolute victory, absolute win.

On the Tongtian Avenue, Yu Nian's successive mistakes did not have any impact on him.

He enjoyed this game with all his heart.

Just like he once devoted himself to the piano in front of him in the golden hall of Vienna.

Jumping and pressing on the black and white keys, at this moment, his stage has just changed to the mountains, to the winding mountain road at his feet.

"All the players made mistakes at the same time. Only No. 31 was in the lead. His performance was perfect, without mistakes or pauses! He was rushing towards the finish line with an unparalleled victory - he crossed the finish line!!"

"Registration number 9877635, the champion is from China!"

The scene was silent for a moment, then burst into cheers.

"China! No. 31!"

"Number 31!"

The reporters at the scene looked at each other in confusion as they looked at the figures parked at the finish line.

The first thought that came to my mind was: the press release prepared in advance cannot be used.

The next step is to write a new press release on the spot quickly!

The phone rang and they hurriedly answered it.

"Is the champion Lucius or Harrison? Is the manuscript ready for distribution?"

"No! Not Lucius or Harrison!"

"Well, who's that? Edgar from Brazil?"

The reporters took a deep breath, with shock remaining on their faces: "He's one of ours! Chinese! His registration number in the system is 9877635, and we don't know his name yet."

"I'm going to write a manuscript now. Did you know that before the qualifying round, he didn't even try out once?"

[Task 2: Participate in the Tianmenshan Longboard Downhill Open and get the top three places]

[Task 2 completed, rewards are being settled]

[Tasks exceeded and rewards are being settled]

Yu Nian listened to the system prompts and gasped violently at the finish line. Under the helmet, sweat condensed on his eyelashes and dripped one by one.

After another moment, Harrison and Lucius crossed the finish line one after another.

When Harrison saw Yu Nian already at the finish line, he cursed and looked up at the electronic screen recording the results.

On the huge electronic screen, a golden crown logo appeared next to Yu Nian's number, which meant that he was the winner of the highest honor in this game.

Harrison looked at the golden crown, raised the shield on his helmet, and revealed anger in his eyes: "This is the picked champion!"

As soon as he said these words, the competitors who were passing the finish line one after another looked over in surprise.

Harrison noticed something was wrong the moment he exited, but he still said to Yu Nian: "All the strong players made mistakes today, and we fell down because of the rain!"

This excuse made other players frown.

It is impossible for every race to have perfect road conditions, and accidents that may occur during the race are something every player must face.

Being adaptable and making emergency adjustments is also part of strength.

At this time, it was Yu Nian who was standing at the end, not them, which already explained the problem.

Making excuses for their failures will only make them appear more failed.

Harrison was still belittling the weight of this championship in order to cover up his inner disappointment: "If our king May Shelley were here, today's champion would not be you!"

This Tianmen Mountain competition is indeed of high importance, but because the competition is held in China, the distance is far away, and many of the world's top longboard masters were not present.

The May Shelley in Harrison's mouth is the man standing at the top of the long plate pyramid, who is called "the king who dances with the wind" by people in the circle.

He moved Mei out in an attempt to strengthen his confidence in reprimanding her.

"Harrison, don't do this!" Lucius scolded him, "Where is your grace? We fell but he didn't fall. Isn't this strength?"

At this time, the timing ranking has been updated with time information in real time.

The commentator almost shouted: "China - 9877635, won the championship in 18 minutes and 5 seconds!"

The audience at the scene burst into cheers.

Harrison looked at the number 18m05s and his face turned pale and uncertain.

This was not his first time on the Tianmen Mountain Tongtian Avenue, but even when he performed perfectly, his best time was only about 18 minutes and 30 seconds.

This made his unreasonable act just now look like a joke.

Lucius shook his head and looked at Yu Nian: "Little beauty—well, I'm sorry, you are indeed very strong. I made a mistake in my judgment of you earlier. You are great today, and this championship should belong to you."

Yu Nian was still catching his breath. He laughed and wanted to say something, but the award ceremony was about to begin.

Under the guidance of the hostess, Yu Nian, Harrison and Lucius came to the podium.

In the valley, spectators from the host country, China, waved their red national flags with unprecedented passion.

This is the first time that, surrounded by Europeans and Americans, the first Chinese to win a golden medal.

No. 9877635. There is not a single banner about him in the huge valley.

This young man who made it to the finals in embarrassment during the qualifying round finally won this medal with an unrivaled victory in the finals.

who is he--

The competition information of the Tianmen Mountain competition is displayed with numbers, which means that the focus is on the downhill longboard itself, rather than the personal popularity of the downhill longboarder.

The faces and names of those strong players who have experienced several competitions have long been known to the audience.

There is only this 9877635, this young man competing for the first time, who is he?

On the other side, the people in the Operation Excellence Department were already excited.

They recognized Yu Nian's longboard as their own. As they slid across the track, the sunlight reflected by the hot-gilded number proved that it was their own customized model!

The Tianmenshan Longboard Downhill Open has been held for so many times, but today, it is the first time that a Chinese has won the championship!

Joyo is far ahead among domestic sports brands, but it has never found a suitable spokesperson.

There is a certain difference between conventional sports stars and the brand image and positioning they pursue. They have also set their sights on celebrities in the entertainment industry who have a good image and a sense of sport, but they are never satisfied.

When they saw Yu Nian this time, they knew: it was him.

This young man didn't know his appearance and name yet, but everyone in the operations department had already identified him.

He set foot on the Tongtian Avenue for the first time, never tried the track, got injured in the qualifying round, and won the championship with an unrivaled performance in the finals. This is the person they want!

His future in extreme sports is limitless!

On the podium, Yu Nian received the trophy and medal awarded to him by the committee.

After stepping off the podium, he took off his helmet. Sweat was on the tips of his hair, and it was wet on his forehead and sides of his cheeks.

There were beads of sweat hanging on the tip of his nose and chin. The sweat that looked greasy on other people's faces made him look as if he had been fished out of a spring. His skin was moist with sweat, making his skin appear whiter and more transparent.

"The picked champion." Yu Nian repeated Harrison's comment before going to the podium, and pushed his wet forehead hair up, which made his whole face even more attractive.

Harrison wanted to say something, but Yu Nian looked over.

When his gorgeous brows and eyes glanced over, the light and cool eyes and the tear marks at the end of his eyes formed a contradictory look and feel, but they were extremely attractive.

Anyone who is dissatisfied with him must shut up the insults that are about to come out of his mouth. No one can safely spit out dirty words in front of that face.

Harrison felt angry when he noticed his softness and wavering.

Yu Nian said: "I don't know who are the strong ones in this field."

He was explaining the facts. By all accounts, Yu Nian had only been learning longboarding for two months, and the only longboarding circle he had contact with was the S City Downhill Association.

As for the famous and powerful people in the circle, he really didn't know.

But it sounds like this, and uninformed people can easily regard it as a provocation.

Harrison laughed angrily and said to Lucius on the side: "Listen to how arrogant the little beauty is in your eyes."

Yu Nian shook the golden medal in his hand: "If you think this is a picked champion, then next time, I will do it when all the strong players in this field participate and everyone performs perfectly——"

"I want to get this golden medal again under these circumstances."

His Oxford accent, which comes from southern England, is very standard.

The camera could only print a small half of his profile on the screen, but the radio equipment allowed the conversation between him and Harrison to be broadcast throughout the valley.

The native English-speaking audience at the scene exclaimed after hearing clearly.

Arrogance cannot be called arrogance in those who possess strength.

Compared with other downhill longboarders, this young man's body is thin and flexible, but he bursts out with amazing energy.

They love his arrogance and confidence!

Most of the viewers from China did not understand what Yu Nian was talking about.

"What did he say?"

"It seems like you want to win the gold medal next time?"

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo,o, I, I, look on that right, can the camera be pointed right?"

"With just that little profile, my titanium alloy eyes have already determined that this is a handsome guy."

That night, the Chinese New Year had already begun at the longboard downhill forum.

[Awesome, I have nothing to say other than awesome.]

[Is China’s longboard downhill industry about to rise?]

[By the way, who is this 9877635? My mother has already won the championship, why don’t she enjoy the glory of the championship? She doesn’t even show her face]

[It’s so strong, so strong, I haven’t come back to my senses until now. It’s the first time, it’s really the first time!]

[The harsh words he said to Harrison were so cool, damn, this arrogance was so cool]

[Harrison's mouth is too weak, picked up champion? You should pick one up and show it to me]

Soon, the on-site media also issued reports, with the title "Achieving 0 Breakthrough" and the conversation between Yu Nian and Harrison as the title.

[Tianmenshan Longboard Downhill Open ended, Chinese athletes won the championship for the first time, achieving a breakthrough of 0 medals]

["We must win this golden medal again when all the strong players in this field participate and everyone performs perfectly" - Declaration from the champion]

Originally, an event in a niche circle would not attract much attention, but this 0 breakthrough is so significant that it was suddenly pushed to the bottom of the hot search list by longboard fans.

Many passers-by came in out of curiosity and were shocked by Yu Nian's standard Oxford accent.

[The Queen's standard Oxford accent makes me fall to my knees when I hear it, the accent is so great, and the voice sounds so good, damn]

[This... after reading the translation, is it better to be more modest?]

[Humility is such a thing. The background story is that this American named Harrison said that No. 31 was the picked champion, and No. 31 only let go of this. In this case, what kind of modest virtue do we Chinese people have to pay attention to?]

[I’m more curious about what Harrison meant by “the little beauty in your eyes” when he said to Lucius, and what No. 31 looks like. It’s heart-breaking!]

[The media at the scene were really amazing. To my surprise, there was no full-face shot. There were only those wearing helmets and half of their faces in profile]

[There is a saying that the eyebrows exposed under the helmet are amazing, the eyes are really beautiful]

[The lines on the profile are really beautiful too!]

As a result, the topic on the Internet gradually turned to who No. 31 is and what he looks like.

People in the Operational Excellence Department are also thinking about this issue.

What do the media do for a living? There’s not even a single frontal shot!

When they arrived in Hunan Province, Yu Nian had already returned to S city with the association.

Their champion's name has not been announced, the only one they have is the registration number, 9877635.

The operators went to the competition committee to ask for information, but the competition refused to reveal the privacy of the players. They could only take out the game recording video and watch it frame by frame.

——After all, the champion’s longboard belongs to them!

As long as you identify the hot stamping number on the long board, you can find the orderer's information through the number.

However, the speed of Yu Nian's descent was so fast that even if they slowed down to look at it frame by frame, the small gold-plated number on the side of the longboard was still a blur.

"What should I do? I can't see the number clearly."

"Look for pictures from the media at the scene and see if any show the serial number."

"Also, this is a customized model. Try to exclude the identity of the customizer from the appearance of the longboard and see if you can find it."

However, it was quite difficult to do. For the first time, they disliked the straight male aesthetic of their own designers that they were originally proud of: they only focused on the practicality of the board, and the appearance design of the board was almost the same.

Therefore, Yu Nian's board has thousands of identical ones just from the appearance. They have to eliminate them one by one until they find the downhill rider they are looking for. The workload can be imagined to be huge.

It's rare for a spokesperson you like so much to just let him run away.
