Although the Dragon Country had outstanding achievements in ice skating, compared to the Helan Country, the Beauty Country, and the Furry Bear Country, they were still relatively weak.
Ye Feng was a genius.
It was worthy of everyone's attention.
In this year's Beijing Olympics, Gao Yu broke the Olympic record for the 500m short track speed skating with a time of 34.32 seconds and won the Olympic championship. It was also the first time that the Dragon Country won a gold medal in this event.
There were also many other ice skating sports. The Dragon Country had never won an Olympic gold medal before. With Gao Yu, everyone hoped to break through to zero again and make other countries pay attention to the Dragon Country. They should not think of the Bear Country, the Beautiful Country, the Norway Country, and the Helan Country when they mentioned ice skating.
The next competition was the 1500m short track speed skating. Because the distance was longer, there were more variables.
Short track speed skating needed variables.
This was what made it exciting.
"Almost every year, some of the athletes in the youth training camp will rush out of the track during the short track speed skating competition. Now that the competition has come to this point, they haven't seen it.”
"How should I put it? The athletes in the youth training camp this year are like sheep. They lack the courage to break through, fight, and walk on the edge of breaking the rules. Do you really want to see the athletes fall?”
" Not really. I just feel that these athletes are treating short track speed skating as speed skating. They lack the tense atmosphere between each other. They are too gentle. In short track speed skating, you don't have to do it your own way. Instead, you have to have a confrontation.”
The rules of short track speed skating were that pulling, bumping, arm bumping, tripping, lowering speed, and leaving the track were not allowed.
But that didn't mean that there were no confrontations.
Coach Li was silent.
At this time, the athletes of the youth training camp on the ice skating field were discussing countermeasures with each other or exercising their muscles and bones to prepare for the next game.
Ye Feng squatted down and checked his protective gear.
After passing the qualifiers, half of the semi-finals had already begun.
In every match, the last person would be directly eliminated. As a result, the number of people would decrease. After passing the semi-finals, it would be the finals. The first place in the finals would receive a million yuan from Nongfu Spring.
One million was a huge sum of money to anyone.
If he could get that one million.
It could reduce the stress of life.
Many people could not earn a million yuan in their entire lives. It could be said that if they won first place, they would be able to earn enough for three meals a day if they put the prize money into Yu 'e Bao to earn interest.
Immediately.
The most important thing was the competition.
Pei Suxin handed over a new set of cut resistant clothing, leather gloves, a safety helmet, knee pads, ankle pads, neck pads, and other equipment. She bent down and said,""Here, here you go."
Ye Feng fiddled with his hat, he looked up at the equipment that Pei Suxin handed over and was slightly stunned.
"What are you doing?"
"How are you going to enter the semi-finals of the 1500m short track speed skating in this set? Look at your helmet. It's your dad's motorcycle helmet. The professional wear anti-cut clothes, but you're wearing a raincoat. The athletes in your youth training camp will definitely be desperate and attack you later.”
Ye Feng's equipment was too simple.
Ye Feng's current equipment was still the speed skating elastic tights that Pei Suxin had bought for him, finger gloves, ice skates, and so on.
Ye Feng looked at the ice skates that were different from his, he took them and smiled: ""Thank you. I'll return it to you when I win the prize money.”
The short track speed skates had a larger arc, making it harder to fall. The speed skates were made for speed, and the blades were shorter.
Ye Feng put on the helmet, he felt that his head was much lighter, this helmet was made according to the standard of ASTM, it was more suitable for short track speed skating than ordinary motorcycle helmets.
Then, Ye Feng put on the neck guard, knee guard, and ankle guard.
The ones that Ye Feng wore previously were all bought from convenience stores, they did not meet the safety standards, they were useless.
"That's good."
Do you think that if there was an accident in short track speed skating, it would be an ordinary injury?”
" The skates under the skates are the most dangerous factor. If someone in front of you falls and causes the people behind you to crash into each other, the skates of those athletes will also squeeze together. It's very dangerous. You're wearing regular neck guards, knee guards, ankle guards, and anti-cut suits to prevent this.”
Ye Feng had a smile on his face: " Don't worry, when I get first place in the future, I will definitely return the money to you. This time, it will be recorded."”
Ye Feng did not refuse.
He really needed this now.
Pei Suxin lowered her head and looked at the student who was five or six years younger than her. He was confident, bright, energetic, and full of ideals. He was more outstanding than most of his peers.
After Ye Feng successfully entered the national team, Pei Suxin would have to train with Ye Feng. Mixed team relay, women's 3000m relay, figure skating pairs, all of these required the participation of boys.
To be honest, after Wang Meng quit the women's ice skating coaching team last year and became a commentator for the Winter Olympics, the strength of the national women's ice skating team was getting worse and worse year by year. In this year's Winter Olympics, there was not a single individual gold medal in speed skating, short track speed skating, and figure skating.
Thinking of Wang Meng, this god-like woman, Pei Suxin couldn't help but be distracted. She thought of Wang Meng's legendary experiences... the first World Youth Championship champion, the first woman to win three gold medals in the short track speed skating event of the Winter Olympics.
When Wang Meng was an athlete, she had broken the world record three times. When Wang Meng was a coach, under her leadership, the women's ice skating team had won the championship of eight events, including the men's and women's 1000m, men's and women's 1500m, men's and women's individual all-around, and men's and women's relay. Their strength could only be described as terrifying.
Last year, Wang Meng said goodbye to her sports career completely. She was no longer an athlete or a coach. She became a commentator." You can always trust Wang Meng," referring to this once legendary female athlete.
"Has everyone rested well?"
Coach Li clapped.
"No!"
The athletes of the youth training camp said in unison.
Coach Li looked down at the time and said,""I'll give you guys one more hour. Remember what I said. In short track speed skating, it's not just about who can run fast. It's more about technique and teamwork. Don't look down on Korea.”
There was still an hour left.
The athletes whispered to each other.
