Chapter 102 Interview
Not long after Zheng Fan hung up the phone, Qianjin's video came again.

But this time, Qianjin was the only one left in the video, and Qianjin praised Zheng Fan again, and asked Zheng Fan to continue working hard to get a good result in tomorrow's competition.

I don't know why, but Zheng Fan was very helpful when he heard the daughter's praise, and he felt like he was already floating.

Qian Jin also talked about her experience of peeking at the game today: "Brother Zheng Fan, you don't know. Originally, I hid in a corner and watched your game secretly in this afternoon's training, but I was discovered by Teacher Ai Teli. But to my surprise, she didn't mention me, but watched the game with me. Others saw that we were watching here with gusto, so they all came to watch the game curiously, and there was just now A scene from the video."

Zheng Fan was a little dumbfounded, it turned out that his popularity in the Crystal Palace was so good, and the resistance to abducting his daughter should be less in the future.

The two chatted for a while, and Zheng Fan asked about Qianjin's recovery from her injury.

The answer given by Qian Jin is that, at present, it is quite optimistic, and it is expected that the gauze can be removed in a few days.

This is good news for Zheng Fan.

Zheng Fan estimated that after officially entering the national figure skating team, he would be able to go to the Crystal Club for further studies, and then he would be able to play happily with his daughter again.

Zheng Fan has a dream, he wants to try pas de deux with Qian Jin, rehearse in advance, and prepare for various exhibition competitions in the future.

After hanging up the video call, Zheng Fan continued to walk outside the court.

When passing through the mixed mining area, Zheng Fan was stopped by several reporters and wanted to conduct an interview.

Originally, Zheng Fan didn't want to be interviewed, so he went straight back to sleep, but when he saw that among the reporters who stopped him, there was a reporter from CCTV, Zheng Fan finally decided to stop and answer a few questions.

This is Zheng Fan's first official interview.

The reporter’s questions basically fell into the following categories. Let’s talk about the feeling of winning the 1500-meter race, the reasons for not winning the 500-meter race, expectations for tomorrow’s competition and the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, etc., but the CCTV reporter finally raised a very relevant question. different questions.

Reporter: Zheng Fan, in our Huaguo winter sports circle, everyone now knows that you are a short-track genius with strong short-track ability. The gold medal in this competition also proves all this; but everyone has also heard that you are very talented. You may join the national figure skating team in the near future. Do you have any expectations and arrangements for the World Figure Skating Championships in Finland, which will start on March 3, and the 29 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics?

Zheng Fan: I plan to participate in this year's World Figure Skating Championships, because I want to fight for one more Winter Olympics spot for our country; as for whether I can participate in the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, I will follow the arrangements of the country.

Reporter: Then we look forward to your performance at the World Figure Skating Championships in Finland!

After the interview, Zheng Fan left the venue and walked towards the hotel, but his mind was still thinking about the reporter's last question just now.

After the Short Track Speed ​​Skating Championships, there is only half a month left before the World Figure Skating Championships. This Finnish World Figure Skating Championships will be the last World Championships before the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. Zheng Fan is bound to compete Yes, the purpose is, as he himself said, to win a place in the Winter Olympics.

How many places each country can have in the more than 100 small events of the Winter Olympics depends on the results of the World Championships and the points of the national athletes of the event. The more entries there will be, but in general, the maximum number of entries for each country in each individual competition shall not exceed three.

According to the historical trajectory, there is only one place for Huaguo figure skating in the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, which is obtained by fighting for it every day.

Zheng Fan didn't want to compete with Tiantian in China in advance because of a quota for figure skating in the Winter Olympics. Not only would he feel uncomfortable, but Tiantian's ice fans would spray him to death.

Tickets for the Winter Olympics figure skating competition, it is better to fight for it yourself.

……

On the third day, which is the last competition day of the 2017 World Short Track Speed ​​Skating Championships, Zheng Fan focused on the 1000-meter and 5000-meter relay, and decisively gave up the men's 3000-meter super race.

Because the ranking in the super competition is not included in the gold medal list, only the personal points are included. The points of the Hua Guo team in short track speed skating are enough to guarantee the participation of all the places in the Winter Olympics, so Zheng Fan is very realistic. filtered out.

However, today's race did not become easier because Zheng Fan had to go through three consecutive 3000-meter races, which is still a big test for Zheng Fan, who has a low energy attribute.

Fortunately, after a night of rest, Zheng Fan has returned to his peak state. As long as he does not consume too much energy in the previous quarter and semi-finals, there is still hope for a medal in the final.

Compared with 1500 meters, 1000 meters consumes much less energy. Zheng Fan still uses the tactic of going to the end. He has been in No.2 since the quarter-finals, and he is still in No.2 in the semi-finals. Never overtake unless absolutely necessary.

Zheng Fan stuck closely behind No.1 to minimize his wind resistance and at the same time prevent other players from easily cutting into the inner lane. Even if a player overtakes himself, he will definitely overtake No.1. Every corner can basically return to the second place, so there is not much pressure to get the second place in the group.

All the way through the promotion, Zheng Fan entered the 1000m Group A final again.

A total of five athletes participated in the finals. Zheng Fan was ranked fifth without any suspense, Tianyu from the same team was ranked fourth, Hungarian Liu Shaoang was ranked third, and Xu Yila, a player from the West Eighth Team, was ranked second. , the first one is Canada's Charles Hamelin.

In this match, Zheng Fan's biggest opponent is Xu Yila.

Historically, in the eighth round of the 1000-meter final, Xu Yila caught the mistakes of the first three players and directly overtook them in the inner lane, laying the foundation for the final championship.

Before the match, Li Yan also called Zheng Fan and Tianyu aside to explain the tactics.

Li Yan's original intention was to let Zheng Fan take up the heavy responsibility of the 1000-meter final, and asked Tianyu to cooperate with Zheng Fan in the last few laps, but Zheng Fan refused.

After several days of competition, Zheng Fan found that his current hard power is actually not strong enough. If he does not use the speed skating acceleration skill at the beginning, it will be difficult for him to grab a favorable position.

Therefore, instead of asking Tianyu to do some unnecessary auxiliary work for himself as the "cradle tail", it is more realistic for Tianyu to strive for the top three medals.

Tianyu's personality is very cheerful, and he usually has a good relationship with Zheng Fan, but he was very happy to hear that Zheng Fan refused to let him cooperate.

Every athlete wants to win medals in international competitions, not to be a stepping stone on the road to success for others.

Without a competitive heart, it is impossible to go far in the career path of athletes.

Under the signal of the referee, five athletes stood in front of the starting line.

It is estimated that Qianjin is secretly watching his game just like yesterday, and Zheng Fan felt that every muscle in his body became active as if he had shot N shots of adrenaline.

This state is just right!

Goal, 1000m gold medal!
　Can you see the video of Qianjin's "double gun" gesture in Qidian app now? 6 seconds, I don't know why, but I can't see it.
