"Am I number one?" Am I number one? Xu Mengtao shouted again and again at the victorious arena after the game.
Dream Peach, you are the first! You are the champion!
In tonight's freestyle ski women's aerial skills final, China's Xu Mengtao won the championship. This is China's first Olympic gold medal in this project, and it is also the fifth gold medal of the Chinese sports delegation at this Winter Olympic Games, and the number of gold medals is equal to the previous single gold medal of the Chinese team!
"The last time I was on the podium was 8 years ago and today I finally did it. My dream is to win the Winter Olympics, and I want to see the national flag raised and win glory for the motherland. After four winter Olympic cycles of persistence and struggle, Xu Mengtao could not suppress his excitement after the game. The top of the cloud finally got gold, it is time to release it!
"Xu Mengtao, 31 years old, finally completed his dream of turning 20." Xu Mengtao has strong strength, early fame, has the reputation of "the first person in the history of World Cup aerial skills", harvesting champions in international competitions, but always missing the Winter Olympic gold medal. Insisting on love and being determined because of dreams, the Winter Olympics in four battles, the dream finally came true, and she met "the better and stronger self".
Looking forward to the Beijing Winter Olympics more than a year ago, Xu Mengtao said: "In the next 400 days, I have only one goal, that is, to work hard to give the two brothers 'Chance' and 'Luck' a master key and a navigator, no matter where I am, you can find me." In fact, where to win the championship is only the favor of the goddess of luck, Xu Mengtao seized the opportunity this time to realize the long-cherished wish of winning the Winter Olympics, relying on tenacious struggle, firm faith, relying on a strong heart and defeating demons.
"Three Winter Olympics, I am the girl who 'fights' the gold medal, and it is a mission and an honor to fight for the gold medal for the motherland!" What supports Xu Mengtao to go on, in addition to the golden Olympic gold medal, is a strong sense of mission. Falling down again and again, in order to get back up, willing to pay superhuman perseverance, is this worth it? The answer is yes. Because this gold medal casts a personal dream, it also rises to the glory of the country.
Xi Jinping once sent a message to athletes and coaches: "Enhance the sense of honor of winning glory for the country, strengthen the confidence to create good results, train hard, prepare for the battle, bravely climb the peak, and strive to achieve new breakthroughs." ”
From Gao Tingyu, who "has a sense of responsibility and mission to help me win the championship", to Yan Wengang, who has been looking forward to winning glory for the country in the Winter Olympic Games, and is very happy to realize his dream" to the Chinese women's ice hockey team that "won glory for the country and leaves no regrets"... It can be clearly found that in the hearts of Chinese athletes, there is always a sense of family and country, and that kind of rich sense of honor, which inspires them to overcome difficulties and forge ahead.
Just over the halfway mark of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chinese sports delegation has already won 5 gold medals. Let us continue to applaud the Chinese athletes and wish them more wonderful and glorious harvests!
