Chapter 139
The men's 1000m short track speed skating award ceremony.

The three athletes participating in the awards ceremony are No.1 Zheng Fan, No.2 Canadian player Girard, and No.3 Pretty Country player Kruger.

Lin Xiaojun, who is still representing the West Eight Nations, finally won No.4 and missed the podium.

Zheng Fan did not jump up like the previous two times, and directly jumped onto the podium that symbolizes No.1.

This time, Zheng Fan was wearing gloves, and after "wiping" the podium like an autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves, he stood up.

Zheng Fan's move was the first to clean up the podium in the Winter Olympics, but because it was the first, no one understood the meaning of Zheng Fan's move, so the awards ceremony was able to continue.

"Why did you swipe the podium just now?" After the awards ceremony, everyone left the stadium and walked outside. Li Yan couldn't hold back his curiosity after all, and quietly asked Zheng Fan this question.

The nearby Hua Guo athletes also pricked up their ears, all curious and puzzled by Zheng Fan's unrestrained behavior just now.

"Our Huaguo team has received too many unfair penalties, at least the penalty given by Brother Dajing just now is not fair enough, and the black hands of the Western Eight Nations have not seen the referees to punish them very much, so I think the leader of this Winter Olympics The podium is a bit 'dirty', of course it needs to be cleaned up before going on stage." Zheng Fan replied nonchalantly.

Li Yan quickly looked around and found no outsiders, he was relieved and said, "It's fine if you tell me about this, don't spread it!"

Seeing that Zheng Fan nodded and agreed to his request, Li Yan asked again: "Then you were wearing gloves to shake hands with the awarding referee just now, why did you take off your gloves and shake hands with the other two athletes?"

"You discovered all of this." Zheng Fancai continued: "Of course, taking off the gloves and shaking hands is to show respect for the opponents in the competition. The referees on the job, they make me 'admired', you know."

After finishing speaking, Zheng Fan smiled at Li Yan, saying nothing.

"I think it's necessary for us to crowdfund some guide dogs for the referees." Tianyu was also a victim of the referee's "blindness", so he couldn't help but say a slightly witty remark at this time, which made everyone laugh up.

"Who said it wasn't? You don't know. When the athletes took a group photo just now, I actually saw the look of a brother and sister in the eyes of the other two contestants. It seems that everyone is a victim. I believe they will definitely help us crowdfunding. A guide dog." Zheng Fan felt that there were too many pitfalls in the short track speed skating competition in this Winter Olympics, so he couldn't complain.

Without the awards ceremony for the Xiba contestants, there was a peaceful atmosphere from the beginning to the end, which is great!

"Okay, stop talking, I'm going to the interview area right away, everyone pay attention to your words and deeds, at least don't express your emotions publicly, especially you who are a spitting master." Li Yan's "Tucao master" is naturally It refers to Zheng Fan.

On the passage leaving the competition venue, there is a mixed mining area where reporters can interview the athletes. When mining the area, he told everyone again.

When everyone came to the mixed mining area, they were indeed stopped by the wolves of the reporters, and Zheng Fan was obviously the most popular one, and he was the focus of the long guns and cannons.

"Excuse me, why did you clean the podium with your hands when receiving the award?" After a round of bombardment with regular questions, a media reporter from an unknown country finally asked this sensitive question.

Just as Zheng Fan was about to answer, he saw Li Yan staring at him from outside the crowd, the sharpness in his eyes made his back shudder.

Zheng Fan knew what Li Yan meant, so he nodded cryptically, and then he replied to the reporter: "I just cleaned up the podium for my third Olympic gold medal to celebrate. Because I saw a few grains on it. Dust, it can only be said that the 'environment' of the West Eight Kingdoms still needs to be improved."

The International Olympic Committee has clearly stipulated that athletes are not allowed to express emotions in public places such as award ceremonies.

Therefore, Zheng Fan adhered to a principle. He did not openly say that the referees and Xiba players were wrong, but secretly threw out the question with a pun. It depends on how the media and netizens interpret it.

As for why there is dust in a closed venue, sorry, this is not a question for Zheng Fan to explain.

……

On February 2th, Zheng Fan ushered in his fifth competition day, but there was only one preliminaries, that is, the men's 20-meter short track speed skating preliminaries. Group No.500 advances.

On February 2, Zheng Fan ushered in the 22-meter quarter-finals, semi-finals and finals, as well as the 500-meter relay final.

In the 500-meter race, Zheng Fan was lucky enough to make it all the way to the finals of Group A. During the process, he didn't meet any of the West Eight players.

At the same time, Dajing was also promoted.

Dajing's explosive power is very good, and he is on par with Zheng Fan, who is full of strength attributes. He has a certain advantage in the 500-meter race, so he also entered the final of Group A.

In the semi-finals, Ziwei met Huang Daxian and Lin Xiaojun, the two young main players of the West Eighth Team. With the last two laps left, he was overtaken by the two due to a misjudgment, and advanced to the Group B final with the third place in the group. Doomed to miss the medal.

Therefore, the Huaguo team and the West Eighth team contracted all four seats in the finals of Group A, and a 2V2 ice war is about to start.

Unlike fighting alone in the 1500-meter race, Zheng Fan proposed to Li Yan before the race that he would cooperate with Dajing in the final, which was praised and recognized by Li Yan.

Zheng Fan was quite confident in Dajing's 500-meter strength.

The shortcoming of Dajing is the lack of battery life. In short-track speed skating and long-distance competitions, it is easy to be overtaken in the second half of the race, but the 500-meter race is different. The physical requirements for athletes are not very high. Dajing’s strengths.

Therefore, in the 500-meter final this time, Zheng Fan used the "speed skating acceleration" skill at the beginning, grabbed the No.2 position at the first corner, and stuck the two Xiba players in the behind.

The 500-meter short-track speed skating competition only requires players to slide four and a half laps, and the distance is not long. Zheng Fan followed Dajing closely and used the tactics of skating in a trapezoidal formation to completely block the overtaking route of Xiba players.

When Dajing slid to the outer lane after cornering because he didn’t control his speed, Zheng Fan would control his speed and slide on the inner lane, blocking the overtaking route of the inner lane;
After Dajing returned to the inner lane, Zheng Fan slid to the outer lane again, escorting Dajing's rear right.

Throughout the match, Zheng Fan focused on the West Eight Nations players behind him, on the one hand to prevent their overtaking at any time, and on the other hand to be careful of Huang Daxian's black hands at all times.

The use of short-track speed skating tactics is approved by the International Skating Federation. Zheng Fan only uses his body to block the whole process. Except for supporting the ice, his hands are always behind his back, and he does not give the "blind" referee any chance to "make mistakes".

With the last half lap left, Zheng Fan saw that Dajing’s speed was not slowing down, and the Xiba players behind him had no chance to overtake, so he also started to exert his strength, wanting to compete with Dajing for No.1.

But without the blessing of the "Speed ​​Skating Acceleration" skill, Zheng Fan was still missing a move in the end. He failed to surpass Dajing on the outside corner and finally won the runner-up.

The results were announced. Zheng Fan's final time was 39.656 seconds, only 0.07 seconds slower than Dajing, and won the runner-up. No.3 was Xibaguo Huang Daxian.
