【Foreword】
The Paris Olympics have reached the ninth day, and judging from the current list, China is still the first place, but in yesterday's women's trampoline competition, it caused controversy among the masses.
Because before the start of the competition, Zhu Xueying and Hu Yicheng were placed high hopes on the masses, and everyone was looking forward to the performance of their two babies on the field.
So, what's going on here?
【Unexpected Choice】
In the arena of athletic competition, there are always some unexpected things that will happen, and no one knows when the glory and accident will come.
Zhu Xueying and Hu Yicheng, who were originally the "double insurance" of the women's trampoline project, both missed in everyone's expectant eyes, which made everyone almost "drop their jaws", after all, the two of them are very good in their usual training.
Moreover, the rules of the trampoline competition are simple and crude, everyone has two chances to try the jump, and then the highest score is ranked, and the top 8 competitors can qualify for the promotion.
That is to say, in the process of competition, if the athlete feels that he has a problem with the first attempt and wants to do it again, it is no problem, if he feels that his results are okay, he can give up directly on the second attempt, and then reserve his physical strength to prepare for the next round of competition.
In the first round, Zhu Xueying jumped out of 55.950 points, while Hu Yicheng scored 56.270 points, if nothing else, the results of the two could have entered the final.
But the accident starts here, at this time, some friends may be curious, what is the so-called accident?
Hello gentlemen, the author's keyboard works overtime until the early hours of the morning every day, and he can only earn dozens of dollars a day, and it is not easy to write, so he added ads to unlock the text, just to make a little more money, the ads are only 5s, and you can read the full text for free after watching, I hope the audience will stop scolding.
For Hu Yicheng, her results were already very good, so in the second round, she directly chose to give up, after all, although the rules of trampoline are relatively simple, it still consumes physical strength.
Her choice was correct, and in contrast, Zhu Xueying didn't seem to be satisfied with her results, so she chose to continue with the second attempt, in which she used a difficult move and scored 56.720 points.
The score is very high, higher than Hu Yicheng's score, what she didn't expect was that this incident became the fuse for failing to win the championship in the follow-up.
After all, the initial score was already very good, and there was no need to continue the game in order to get a higher score, and there was only a 20-minute break between the preliminaries and the final.
Naturally, physical exertion cannot be completed in a short period of time, and the order of appearance in the final is not based on the ranking of the preliminary results, on the contrary, it is determined by drawing.
And Zhu Xueying drew lots for the second appearance after a short break, and her physical strength did not recover well, and now the second appearance, whether it is physical or psychological, the pressure is huge.
Therefore, in the final, Zhu Xueying did not use the difficult set of actions of the second jump in the preliminaries, but used a set of less difficult moves in the first round, and finally scored only 55.51 points.
On the other hand, the United Kingdom player, in the final, scored 0.86 points more than the preliminary round, and Hu Yicheng, as the last person to appear, made a mistake because of great psychological pressure, and finally only scored 11.790 points.
I have to say that this matter is still very regrettable, if Zhu Xueying did not choose to continue jumping in the second round, maybe the gold medalist this time would be ours.
During the Paris Olympics, there was not only one mistake, but also the Chinese team made mistakes in the men's gymnastics event on July 30.
So, what's going on here?
[Mistakes of the gymnastics men's team]
According to reports, the Chinese gymnastics team had an accident at the last moment of preparation for the Paris Olympics, when Sun Wei, who was the main force, was injured while training on the stage, causing him to be unable to compete normally.
And Su Weide became a temporary replacement for him, you must know that Su Weide in the previous game, although there was a relatively large difference, but his own strength is still very good.
However, perhaps because of unfamiliarity with the equipment or other reasons, Su Weide made two mistakes in the competition, which led to the Chinese team missing the gold medal in the gymnastics event.
I have to say that this is also very regrettable, although the two things seem to have nothing to do with each other, in fact, there are still many similarities, and there are many things that we can learn and improve.
[Lessons from two things]
For example, the lesson of the first trampoline competition allows us to understand that the key strategies that need to be decided during the competition need to be carefully pondered, so as not to miss the opportunity to win the championship because of impulse.
Of course, in the interview, Zhu Xueying also said that she was injured a week before leaving for the competition, and did not resume training until France, and the change of action in the preliminary round was to replace training through competition.
In the finals, she couldn't control her movements well, and in her eyes, it was already good that she could enter the finals from the preliminaries, but the result was not good, and she couldn't accept it.
There are winners and losers in the game, adjust the mentality, and keep the physical strength to better face the follow-up games, for this situation, the masses also expressed their opinions.
So, what do the masses say?
【Netizen spicy comments】
Some netizens said that sports have their own way of return, once they escape from death, they can burst out with amazing potential, on the contrary, the preliminaries let people show their skills, and the finals after clearing the zero, it is difficult to be satisfied.
In addition, there are netizens who are better than Oh Aha City, there is no absolute superior strength, and it is normal to lose, after all, athletes have also trained hard for many years to be eligible for the Olympic Games, and we can't just look at winning the championship.
Some netizens said that after watching Zhu Xueying's interview, she took painkillers to play, and she couldn't stop for too long after suffering a waist injury, which is why she had to make a second jump, after all, similar projects are more accidental.
Some people encouraged Zhu Xueying, hoping that she could hold on and wait until she was 30 years old to compete in the Olympics again.
Of course, there are also netizens who remain neutral, believing that the Olympics is not only a sports competition, but also a mental competition, and everyone needs to learn to cater to the changes in the rules during the competition, so as to get better results.
【Conclusion】
In fact, there is no problem with the statements of the masses, although there are controversies in these two things, and some friends will criticize them, but I believe that after this incident, they will learn a lesson and get better results in the follow-up competitions.
