The legend of short track speed skating

Chapter 370 Veterans Will Never Die
"Fan Fan! Hold on! Hold on!"

In the Midong live broadcast room, Wang Meng has already started a standing commentary!

Huang Jianxiang keenly noticed that Wang Meng shrugged his shoulders slightly and rubbed his hands repeatedly... Are you nervous?

It shouldn't be!I never saw Wang Meng like this in the mixed relay final!Why did Wang Meng get nervous when it came to Fan Kexin's semi-finals?

What Huang Jianxiang didn't know was that, after Wang Meng, China's leading female short track speed skating players.Fan Kexin once had a five-time 500-meter championship in the World Championships!Among them, he completed three consecutive World Championships in 2015, 2016, and 2017!
In Fan Kexin's peak 14/15 season, she even created six World Cup 500-meter individual events, with 5 golds and [-] bronze record!

It's a pity that Fan Kexin has been lacking some luck in the Winter Olympics!
"Fan Fan, go up..."

On the ice rink, Fan Kexin and Schulting are still in a stalemate!Heretic Fan Kexin has a faint tendency to fall behind!
If he continues to stay in the outer lane, Schulting will rely on the lane advantage to take the lead!
Fan Kexin also knew the situation she was facing, she had to rush to the first position at the beginning of this game!
Only with the lead skating, can she slide at her own pace without any physical contact with others, and at the same time reduce the probability of mistakes as much as possible!

It can't go on like this!will be thrown off!

Fight!

"Bang!" "Bang!"

At this critical moment, Fan Kexin actually raised his right foot to add a knife!

This is "into the bend and add a knife"?
The insider Schulting did not expect Fan Kexin to learn new skills!Also used it in the semifinals!

With just a little distraction, Fan Kexin relied on adding a knife to complete the lead in body position. She touched the ice with her left hand sideways and cut in directly from the outside!
"Beautiful! Fan Kexin's beautiful curve overtakes! No physical contact! It's clean!"

After exiting the corner, Fan Kexin directly slid outside and accelerated to increase the speed!Schulting chose the same route to speed up!
Both of them knew very well that the results of the semi-finals would directly affect the course of the finals, which was why neither of them wanted to give up at the first corner!Only in the leading position can you have the initiative!

The two directly pulled up the speed to fly in the first straight line area!

In just half a lap, two groups had formed on the field.Among them, Fan Kexin and Schulting competed for the first and second spots.And Zhang Yuting, Pietra and Demei compete for the qualification of the final B!
It's just that the three people behind still didn't give up, after all, too many accidents had happened before!As long as you don't give up, miracles can happen!
Fan Kexin and Shuerting entered the curve one after the other, and the gap between the two was only half a body!
The two have played against each other many times and are familiar with each other. Schulting believes that she can definitely surpass in this half body!
It's a pity, no matter how hard Schulting tries!She can't surpass Fan Kexin!

Obviously Fan Kexin didn't deliberately protect the route, but she always completes the inner cut when Schulting wants to surpass the inner lane!Speed ​​up while Schultin pulls the side!
Shuerting was helpless, she didn't expect Fan Kexin to be in such a good state in this game!

It is impossible for heretics to transcend this state of divine assistance!If you want to surpass in the inner way, one bad thing is that two people fall in a row!
After several consecutive attempts, Schulting gave up!She can only finish the game under the pressure of Fan Kexin throughout the whole process!

In the end, Fan Kexin was the first to cross the finish line with one arm raised!

"Beautiful! Fan Kexin! First in the group!"

"Fan Kexin! She has completed her own redemption!"

"Fan Kexin of the Chinese short track speed skating team advanced to the women's 500m final!"

"Three Winter Olympics! Three Winter Olympics! Fan Kexin finally made it to the final at home!"

"12 years! Three Winter Olympics! Twice in the semi-finals!"

"What makes Fan Kexin so persistent?"

"Is it the responsibility of the short track speed skating team? Is it love? Or paranoia!"

"No! Neither!"

"It is the spirit of the Chinese short track speed skating team! It is the spirit of fighting back after repeated defeats!"

"Fan Kexin proved with his actual actions that what doesn't kill me can only make me stronger!"

"..."

At the end of the shout, Wang Meng had broken his voice!
In the past four years, Fan Kexin's training intensity has been greater than that of young players!The training time is longer than that of young players!

Fan Kexin persisted in this kind of vigor not for four years, but for 12 years!From the first day of entering the national team, Fan Kexin has been one of the hardest trainers in the team!

As a former teammate and coach!From Fan Kexin slipping behind her buttocks, to Fan Kexin taking the lead alone, to Fan Kexin's decline...Wang Meng saw everything!
At this moment, Wang Meng hopes that Fan Kexin will win the final!

However, she dare not predict!

The four finalists are Fontana from Italy, Jin Buting from Canada, Kexin Fan from China and Schulting from the Netherlands!
No matter how many accidents happened in the women's 500m preliminaries and quarter-finals!There was no upset in the semi-finals, no penalty!

The four strongest short-distance women's short-track speed skating players are all standing on the stage of the BJ Winter Olympics finals!It doesn't matter who wins the championship!
……

In the first body, the moment Fan Kexin crossed the finish line for the first time, all the audience stood up and applauded her in unison!
With tears in his eyes, Fan Kexin enjoyed the cheers from the entire stadium!Fan Kexin, who didn't want to be the focus of the semi-finals, became the focus of the semi-finals again!
However, this time being the focus feels the best!
Result Announcement:

No.1, Chinese team, Fan Kexin, 42 seconds 405, advanced to Group A of the final;
No.2, the Dutch team, Schulting, 42 seconds 873, advanced to Group A of the final;
No.3, the Chinese team, Zhang Yuting, 43 seconds 196, advanced to the final group B;
No.4, Hungary team, Petra, 43 seconds 378, advanced to the final group B;
No.5, Belgium team, Deme, 55 seconds 304.

Fan Kexin did not celebrate again!She wants to accumulate strength until the final!

After Fan Kexin waved his hand to express his gratitude to the audience, he went to the fence and put on the knife cover.

Schulting came over for a hug and said softly, "Congratulation!"

Seeing Shuerting again at this time, Fan Kexin suddenly remembered the extra knife at the first corner, and his back felt a little chilly!
"Into the curve and adding a knife" was taught by Kim Sun-tae and Ahn Hyun-soo after they entered the coaching staff, and few people in the entire short-track speed skating team learned it!Those that can be used stably are even rarer!Not a single female player!

Even Fan Kexin has never been successful when entering a corner at high speed!

During the competition, Fan Kexin was also a bit over the top, only thinking about surpassing Schulting, and subconsciously used the "bending and adding knife"!
Thinking about it now, I still feel a little scared, it was really impulsive!
If you make a mistake... or if it's like the quarter-finals, it will be a disaster!

Fortunately, the result was good, a "bending and adding a knife" laid the foundation for victory!

Fan Kexin patted Shuerting's arm to thank her, and the two walked down the ice rink together.

Looking at the back of Fan Kexin leaving, Schulting suddenly thought of the lyrics of West Point Military Academy "Old soldiers never die!"

Schulting pursed his lips and smiled, and added the second half of the sentence: It will only gradually wither, and competitive sports are after all young people's sports!See you in the finals!
