The legend of short track speed skating

Chapter 246 It's All For Grades
2015年7月31日，在吉隆坡举行的第128届国际奥委会全体会议上BJ以44票获得2022年冬奥会的举办权，BJ成为全球唯一一座双奥之城！
BJ's successful election also wiped out Harbin's chance to bid for the Winter Olympics.It is impossible for the International Olympic Committee to allow a country to host two consecutive Winter Olympics, and Harbin did not continue to bid for the 2026 Winter Olympics.

At this moment, Qu Kai looked at Li Yuang on the field, and once again came up with the idea of ​​Harbin hosting the Winter Olympics.

Since there is no way to declare in 2026, we can completely declare in 2030!

As we all know, hosting the Olympic Games has become a loss-making business, and it has become a global consensus that the bid will lose money, and more and more cities have begun to withdraw from the bid.

就拿2022年冬奥会来说，2013年11月15日，国际奥委会公布的提名申办城市还有六个。到了2014年7月，有三个城市退出申办。只剩下BJ、阿拉木图（哈萨克斯坦）和奥斯陆（挪威）。

On October 10 of the same year, as Oslo withdrew from the declaration, only BJ and Almaty remained...

The cost of hosting the Olympic Games is mainly the preliminary infrastructure construction, such as the Olympic Village, hotels, venues and transportation facilities.The idle and repair costs of these infrastructures after the Olympic Games are also big.

But these are not a problem for Harbin. Harbin’s aging transportation and other infrastructure just took the opportunity to take a break. As for hotels, venues and other facilities, it is entirely possible to continue to hold winter sports after the Winter Olympics...

"Old Zhao, what do you think of our bid to host the 2030 Winter Olympics?"

Zhao Gang didn't expect that Qu Kai would even think about which session to bid for, so he hurriedly said, "Old Qu, you're serious...you can't decide such a big thing!"

Qu Kai didn't answer Zhao Gang, but looked at Li Yuang who was receiving the award and said, "It's great to be young. Even in 2030, Li Yuang will only be 28 years old, and he can fight again..."

Zhao Gang looked at Qu Kai, and then at Li Yuang. From Qu Kai's words, he could clearly feel Qu Kai's preference for Li Yuang.

"Old Qu, Harbin isn't hosting the Winter Olympics for Li Yuang, is it..."

"How is it possible... How could such a big event as hosting the Winter Olympics be for a certain athlete..."

In the next Men's 1000m Group A final, Wu Dajing of the Jilin team, Li Yuang and Zhang Tianyi of the HLJ team, and Li Wenwu and An Kai of the Qingdao team fought fiercely.

In the end, Li Yuang defended his reputation as the world record holder and won the gold medal in this event with a time of 1:21.

Wu Dajing won the silver medal with a time of 1:22, and Zhang Tianyi won the bronze medal.

The morale of Li Wenwu and An Kai of the Qingdao team was obviously affected by the performance of the last 1500 meters. They only finished fourth and fifth in the 1000-meter final A.

After finishing the short track speed skating championship journey, the Chinese short track speed skating team assembled again at the BJ base.

Next, the national team will be divided into two groups. Wang Meng will lead Li Yuang, Li Wenwu, An Kai, and Zou Yuchen to participate in the Winter Games.Li Yan led the team to participate in the last two stops of the Short Track Speed ​​Skating World Cup and this year's Short Track Speed ​​Skating World Championships.

In fact, the national team has very few international competition opportunities every year, only the World Cup, World Championships and Winter Olympics.

In the past, ISU would host the Short Track Speed ​​Skating World Cup Finals and the World Championship Team Competition, but unfortunately the former was canceled in 2006, and the latter was also canceled in 2011.

As for events like the Great Winter Games, if Li Yuang wasn't going to participate, this event would not have appeared in the national team's preparation schedule.

……

The importance of the 2022 BJ Winter Olympics is self-evident. Li Yan knows that the annual World Championships in the "BJ Cycle" is a big test for the short track speed skating team. You may be dismissed at any time.

In addition, after Wang Meng returned to the team, Li Yan's sense of crisis became more and more serious because of the many positions he held.

As the World Championships approached, Li Yan became more and more anxious.Regarding the question of whether Li Yuang will play in the World Championships, Li Yan failed to do the work of Li Yuang, which is also expected by her.After all, Li Yuang and Wang Meng are related, so it is impossible for Li Yuang to betray his aunt at this time.

Li Yan knew that once the list of the Great Winter Games came out, it would be too late!Before the big winter meeting formally formed a group, she came to the office of Director Wang Huizhong of the Winter Management Center.She still wants to try one last time...

"Director Wang, you know the difficulties encountered in short track speed skating. Wu Dajing is still looking for form, and Han Tianyu is injured again. Sending Li Yuang to participate in the Great Winter Games at this time, isn't it a bit..."

After hearing this, Wang Huizhong frowned and said sharply: "Xiao Li, there are difficulties in the short track, but you have to overcome the difficulties... Could it be that without Li Yuang, you will not achieve results? If Li Yuang is injured or makes a mistake, you will be suspended I won't turn around..."

"Director Wang, that's not what I mean... The main reason is that the Winter Games and the World Championships are not at the same level at all. Letting Li Yuang participate in the Winter Games is indeed a bit of an overkill. It can also increase Li Yuang's competition experience. It is also helpful for the BJ Winter Olympics, do you think..."

After hearing the words of the BJ Winter Olympics, Wang Huizhong nodded subconsciously. From the perspective of preparing for the BJ Winter Olympics, Li Yuang should go to the World Championships...

"It can only be said that Li Yuang grew up too fast!" Wang Huizhong sighed and continued, "Li Yan, if you want to change someone else, I can agree to you right now, but if you want to change Li Yuang, there are many things to do..."

"The leaders of the Ministry of Education have attached great importance to it this time. Li Yuang's gold medal is predictable, and they are the ones who focus on it. Do you understand?"

Li Yan understood in no time, it was because she thought things simply... It was all the fault of her grades!I need the results of the World Championships, and others need the results of the Great Winter Games...

"Director Wang, is there really no other way?"

Wang Huizhong said categorically: "Unless Li Yuang is injured, he must be the one to play this winter!"

Injuried?

Li Yan thought Director Wang was pointing at her, and instantly became familiar with her... thinking of Li Yuang's attitude, she gave up.

"Don't have any wrong thoughts... The Great Winter Games and the World Championships are so close. Once Li Yuang can't make it to the Great Winter Games, he can't go to the World Championships either!"

Seeing that Li Yan didn't speak, Wang Huizhong said again: "I heard that the South Korean team's Li Junrui and Jin Yalang are both going to participate in the Winter Games, plus Lin Xiaojun who was suspended by them, the strength of the South Korean team this year is also greatly reduced... Coach Li Yan , you have to work hard too."

Is this the result of letting yourself compete with the Korean team?

Hearing this, Li Yan was shocked. She didn't dare to ask directly and could only nod her head to express her understanding...
