1. Gu Ailing defeated the strong in the three events of the Winter Olympics. Among them, freestyle ski platform is the weakest, slope obstacle course skills are the second, and U-pool is the strongest. Gu Ailing's gold medal is the freestyle skiing platform gold medal, which is the weakest of Gu Ailing's three events. Before the game, some media predicted that Gu Ailing's chances of winning the gold medal were only 10%. The favourite to win this event is Swiss Mathilde Gremod, who is only 22 years old and is known as the king of platform jumping.
You can see how horrible Mathilde's strength is from this title. Another popular figure is French Tess Radell, and the result of the competition is almost the same as predicted. Before Gu Ailing's last jump, Tess Radell ranked first and Mathilde Gremod ranked second. Gu Ailing jumped out of the highest difficulty 1620. Only two people in the world have done this. Besides Gu Ailing, the other is Tess Luther.
In addition, the schedule arrangement is also the most beneficial to Gu Ailing. This is of course our host's right to put Gu Ailing's weakest event in the first place. If Gu Ailing loses, it doesn't matter, it's not a strong point, and losing won't affect morale. But what if she wins? Morale is high. I have to do this. The event that won the silver medal yesterday was freestyle skiing slope obstacle skill. This event is not Gu Ailing's strongest, but it is much stronger than the big platform.
But again, Gu Ailing is not the favourite to win this event, but Hildaru of Estonia. This girl, who is one year older than Gu Ailing, is almost the bane of Gu Ailing. In the face of her, Gu Ailing hardly won. Last year, Gu Ailing won the gold medal in the World Championships, but Hildaru was absent and did not participate in the competition, so Gu Ailing failed to regard Hildaru as the touchstone of this gold medal in the World Championships.
In the qualifying round, Hildaru easily won the first place and advanced to the final. Hildaru got a high score of 82.06 at the first jump in the final, which basically locked a medal. In addition, Tess Luther of France, Maggie Wazan of the United States, Kelly of Norway, runner-up of the big platform, are all champions.
Perhaps Hildaru put too much pressure on Gu Ailing, so that Gu Ailing actually ranked eighth in the first two jumps! This is rare in previous competitions. I have to say that Gu Ailing has a big heart! I tried my best in the last jump and finally won a silver medal. Therefore, Gu Ailing's first two projects are both weak and strong, and it was an accident to get one gold and one silver.
Second, Gu Ailing will participate in three events. We all know that Gu Ailing will take part in three events, while Su only takes part in two events. Therefore, Gu Ailing is more difficult to deal with physically than Su.
However, Gu Ailing's opponents didn't apply for all three events, so in the last U-pool competition, Gu Ailing is likely to face opponents who only participate in one or at most two events, and they are physically superior to Gu Ailing. These are all places where Gu Ailing is more difficult than Su.
Third, Gu Ailing's competition was postponed. As we all know, due to the heavy snow in Beijing, the game can't be played normally. Yesterday, Gu Ailing's game was delayed by one day, which also affected Gu Ailing. Even Hoflin of Switzerland, the last champion, didn't make the final, which must have been affected.
Of course, some people will say that postponing the competition is fair to everyone, which is true, but athletes have their own rhythm in preparing for the competition. Once the rhythm is broken, they may not be able to control the game.
Of course, some people may adapt quickly, while others adapt slowly and difficultly. Just like sleeping, some people can't sleep in another bed, and some people fall asleep everywhere. The reason is the same.
Sue only takes part in two events, which is easy to cope with physically. Moreover, these two major events are Sue's strengths. Even in the big platform competition where Su won the gold medal, Su ranked first in the world. Sue won the silver medal in the steeplechase skill competition. Although he is not the first in the world, he has the strength to win the gold medal. If the referee hadn't scored, Sue would have won two gold medals. Therefore, it is more difficult for Gu Ailing to win the gold medal.
