But climbing time is also counted in the total score
In the eyes of the earlier champions
Such missteps mean the end
Many people will simply give up
"I've worked so hard for so long,
Just go back like this? ”
A little over a month ago
She had asked herself the same question
It was December 28, 2021
In the city of Kolašin, Montenegro
She thought dejectedly
Not better than after the day's points game
Just pack your bags and go home
After starting to play points to qualify for the Winter Olympics
None of her games reached the passing line of the Winter Olympics
The Winter Olympics looked farther and farther away
In two space-time
Li Weiyi was not convinced

Find out if every game must be rushed

She eventually qualified for the competition—
Points cut off at the Beijing Winter Olympics
There are only five days left
But she is also one of the 88 contestants in the women's slalom
Ranked at the bottom
According to the rules, the last appearance is required during the regular match
When it was her turn to set off
The originally flat and comfortable snow surface
It has been scraped and carved by the blades of 87 pairs of snowboards in turn
February 9 at noon
The first contestant finished nearly two hours after the race
Li Weiyi appeared
The snowboard blade is on a track that approximates the ice surface
Draw out the "Zi La La" instead of the smooth "Shu La" sound
After another "cheering" sound
She fell on the track
Man slid down a steep slope
"I just fell and bled!" It hurts! ”
Where she fell
In the blind spot of the audience's field of vision
No one knew about her
Where on the mountain beam is lying?
But the live audience was on the big screen
Witnessed the whole process of her falling
I saw the ice-like snow mist from the snowboard
Almost drowned her on the screen
"I'm going to finish,
My goal before I came was to finish.
So hard to come to the Olympic Games,
I can't just go back like that! ”

People saw her slowly getting up
Feet on the snowboard
Let the blade get stuck horizontally on the snow
And then step by step, step by step
Move upwards on your side
Slowly towards
The flag gate climb she had just missed
On the snow behind her
Leave a string of horizontal stripes
It's like a ladder
Cheers rang out
In this competition for who is sliding down fast
Cheers to a girl who climbs upwards
Cheers accompanied her as she began to glide again
With her floated to the top of the hillside
Slip into everyone's sight
With her last slide across the finish line
