Cai Xuetong

Ranked 6th at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, 5th at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, and 4th in women's U-shaped track skills at the Beijing Winter Olympics on February 10, Cai Xuetong continued to push her limits on the field of the Winter Olympics, "I am still very satisfied with my performance. Sadly, I didn't finish the set of actions I wanted to complete, and my luck was slightly worse. Cai Xuetong said, "Originally the third trip should be to do the reverse foot 900, when the jump may still not be patient enough, the jump is a bit urgent, did not give the upper force." ”

After advancing to the final as the third place in the qualifiers, Cai Xuetong said that he would use difficult moves in the final. The first time she slid in the final, she completed her set of actions relatively smoothly in her 10th appearance, and finally scored 81.25 points. American star Chloe King showed a perfect move on this slide, locking the top spot with 94 points. Japan's Tomita Seta scored 86 points in the slide, temporarily in second place.

Although the first skate is only in third place, it has laid a foundation for Cai Xuetong to play more difficult moves in the competition behind. Unfortunately, her second skate made some mistakes, and the score did not exceed the first round of skating. But Spain's five-time veteran Kralt Castellet scored 90.25 points in this slide, making him second. Fukuda Se also improved her score on the basis of the first slide. The last slip, Cai Xuetong has no way back, only to let go and fight. Her whole set of movements was almost perfect, but at the last jump, the last 180 degrees could not be completed, which affected her whole set of action scores, and finally ended the game with a first slide of 81.25 points.

"I actually enjoyed it because I loved skiing, and today I was sad, not that I didn't enjoy it, I just felt like I didn't finish the set of moves I wanted to do, but I was still very happy about the process." After the game, Cai Xuetong shed tears as she spoke, "My goal is to challenge my own limits, because I feel that this is what the sport has taught me." I just want to use my best potential and then challenge myself to the hardest moves to push the sport. "When he heard that Liu Jiayu, who is also participating in the Winter Olympics for the fourth time, is still planning to participate in the next Winter Olympics, Cai Xuetong said that he has not thought so far at present." Later, I hope that everyone will pay more attention to this project, and hope to see that I can still be on the field through the competition. "If I still have the ability, can constantly push my limits, or can realize my potential, I will continue." ”
