Film and Television Variety Show: The Jade Girl's Love Affair

The enthusiasm of people across the country is naturally very high when the event is held on their home turf.

The daily gold medal events also attract a lot of attention.

Two events garnered significant attention even before the competition: the women's snowboard big air and the women's snowboard slopestyle.

It's not that the competition is strange, but there's one shocking person among the contestants.

When people saw the name Tang Yu, they thought it was someone with the same name.

It wasn't until the official confirmation that it was Tang Yu, the retired former world number one tennis queen, who participated, that netizens were shocked.

Many people are asking why this is?

Isn't that too big of a leap?

It wasn't until Tang Yu's fans revealed her numerous championship achievements in other skiing competitions over the past six months that netizens understood why Tang Yu participated in the Winter Olympics.

"Actually, there are many athletes who participate in both the Winter and Summer Olympics. In the past, some people have even won gold medals in both the Winter and Summer Olympics! But that was many, many years ago."

"I only vaguely remember that Sister Yu just gave birth, didn't she?"

Once this comment was posted, many other people started commenting below.

"The village has internet access now, but that was back in 2020. Sister Yu started participating in skiing competitions in the second half of last year and successfully earned points and qualifying for the competition. She really has a chance to win the championship."

"I just watched the video of Sister Yu participating in a skiing competition. My goodness, she is really an aerial acrobat. She actually completed so many difficult spins in mid-air."

"Sister Yu already has three Summer Olympic gold medals. Is she collecting them like stamps, trying to win gold medals in all the major competitions in the world?"

"Words cannot describe my feelings, I can only admire you, Sister Yu is so amazing!"

"I remembered what Sister Yu said when she retired. She said she would challenge life and live a wonderful life, and then she came to participate in the Winter Olympics!"

"I remember Sister Yu saying back then that she would become the world's number one badminton player. She was absolutely telling the truth. That's some kind of top-tier talent!"

Amidst the heated discussions among netizens, many people made reservations for the competition Tang Yu participated in after the event's schedule was announced, all hoping to see if she would win the championship again.

Tang Yu participated in the women's snowboard slopestyle and women's snowboard big air events.

The women's snowboard slopestyle event was held first.

The preliminary rounds were held three days after the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, and Tang Yu successfully entered the finals.

This immediately heightened netizens' anticipation.

"Family members, who understands? When I became a fan of Sister Yu, she had already retired. I thought I would never see her on the competition field again, but I found out that I could see her participating in the Winter Olympics skiing."

"Haha, calm down! Sister Yu's life has always been legendary. Back then, when she won a match, no one seemed to care, but when she lost, she would be bombarded with criticism!"

"Since the outbreak of the pandemic, the WTA has suffered huge losses in recent years. It is said that they wanted to invite Yu Jie to make a comeback, but Yu Jie went to become a skier."

"But Yu Jie later wrote a song for the WTA promotional video, and that song became a huge hit last year. Yu Jie must have earned a lot in royalties, right?"

"I'm telling you, after working my way up to Sister Yu, money really isn't that important anymore. Sister Yu just loves pushing her limits!"

Amidst heated discussions among netizens, Tang Yu participated in the women's snowboard slopestyle final the following day.

During the preliminary rounds, Tang Yu didn't attempt any high-difficulty moves, prioritizing stability at that stage.

But having made it to the finals, in order to ensure his victory, Tang Yu directly chose the men's 1620-degree high-difficulty move.

After all, most female athletes today only achieve a maximum difficulty level of 1080 degrees.

So Tang Yu immediately set himself to a high difficulty level.

Only by making a breakthrough in this area can Tang Yu guarantee that she will get high scores in the scoring categories.

Actually, she doesn't really like scoring systems because judges often have personal biases.

That's why she doesn't like watching the gymnastics competitions at the Olympics every year; it really makes her angry.

But since she has chosen to participate in the Winter Olympics, Tang Yu has no choice but to set herself up for a high-difficulty challenge.

On the day of the final, before Tang Yu even started the match, the commentator was already making jokes.

"I used to commentate on Tang Yu's tennis matches. I never expected that we would meet again on the court after she retired, and this time I will be able to commentate on her Winter Olympics."

"Tang Yu performed very well in the preliminary round, and it was clear that she was very comfortable with it."

Perhaps she will make history again this time, becoming only the second person in history to win gold medals in both the Summer and Winter Olympics.

Alright, our country's contestant, Tang Yu, has entered the arena. Let's take a look!

As soon as Tang Yu appeared, the camera immediately focused on her.

The preceding commentary was normal, explaining which actions Tang Yu performed.

"1620! Tang Yu's jump directly challenged a 1620-degree turn! This move is extremely rare in women's slopestyle events - you should know that the mainstream high-difficulty moves in women's competitions are still concentrated at 1080 degrees, and being able to attempt a 1620-degree turn requires a great deal of courage and explosive power!"

It's in the bag! The championship is absolutely ours!

Amid the commentator's excited shouts, the viewers watching the live match also became excited.

"Sister Yu is so cool! She's 32 years old, and she can still do these difficult moves with ease!"

"Can't we just have fun for the next two rounds? We can just sit back and wait to win the gold medal."

"I feel like I'm the last one to discover the truth. It turns out that the Sister Yu you guys were talking about is that tennis queen. She really made a huge career change!"

While netizens were still discussing it, Tang Yu had already seen her score with the judges, and it had become the highest scorer in the entire competition.

As the live stream camera panned across the audience, someone with sharp eyes spoke up.

"I saw Tang Yu's husband in the audience."

"It's not surprising. Zhang Ruoyun has been a spectator at many of Yu Jie's competitions."

After all the contestants finished their matches, Tang Yu became the undisputed champion.

After the award ceremony, a group of reporters surrounded Tang Yu and asked her questions.

"A netizen said that you have a major regret in your life. Do you know what it is?"

Tang Yu burst out laughing instantly.

"I've seen this meme before. It's about how I've never won a silver medal in my life, right?"

The reporter immediately smiled and nodded.

Many people are curious as to why you chose to participate in skiing at the Winter Olympics after retiring from professional sports.

"Because I want to challenge my limits, challenge myself, and challenge my life."

Tang Yu spoke without hesitation, and a reporter spoke up loudly.

"Sister Yu, we're all old acquaintances, there can't be more than just that reason, right?"

Indeed, half of them were sports reporters he had known for many years, Tang Yu said with a smile.

"I've been immersed in parenting for too long, it's time to come out and enjoy life."

After Tang Yu finished speaking, everyone burst into laughter.

Soon after, Su Yiming and Gu Ailing also achieved excellent results, and many netizens wondered what the difference was between their competitions.

It was only then that netizens started explaining that Tang Yu and Su Yiming both snowboard, while Gu Ailing is a freestyle skier.

After this competition ended, many people began to look forward to the next competition: the women's snowboard big air.

Chapter 53 Tennis Entertainment

With the next competition still a week away, the brands that Tang Yu had signed with were all engaged in a frenzy of marketing and promotion during these seven days.

Red Bull generated the most publicity, as Tang Yu collaborated with Red Bull on a skiing adventure.

In this short video, which is only a few minutes long, Tang Yu filmed a variety of thrilling stunts.

The advertisement begins with Tang Yu leaping from a helicopter, flipping several times in the air before landing directly onto the vast snow-capped mountains. Her red dress makes her the center of attention in the image.

The screeching sound of the skis cutting through the snow was swallowed by the wind, and her descent was captured on camera as a straight tangent.

While skiing at high speed, a protruding ice rock suddenly appeared in front of her! She used the momentum to push off with her skis and take off into the air, completing a grab-the-board and spin move in mid-air. When the camera zoomed in, the sunlight reflected off her goggles, showing her swift and graceful movements.

Then the pine forest rushed towards him, the tree trunks receding rapidly on both sides of his vision. Tang Yu weaved through the gaps between the tree trunks, and once again leaped from the snowdrift at the edge of the cliff.

In slow motion, against a backdrop of blue sky, she flips twice in the air before landing precisely on the icy lake below.

The snowboard scraped across the ice, splashing up tiny ice crystals, then used the momentum to turn and surge back onto the snow to continue its race...

The whole advertisement gave me an adrenaline rush; it was thrilling and exciting.

"This must be the most enjoyable commercial that Sister Yu has ever filmed. I just watched the behind-the-scenes footage, and she was so happy."

"The previous advertisements were touching and beautiful, and although they also showed Sister Yu's legend, they did not have a sense of excitement or thrill."

I barely saw the faces in this ad, but it was incredibly satisfying to watch!

"Now I understand why Sister Yu retired. Her life is indeed freer and more enjoyable now."

"She has lived such a free life. When she wanted to get married at twenty, she did so without hesitation. At twenty-seven, she retired without hesitation. After having a child at thirty, she returned to the track to open up a new path. Nothing can stop her life from running towards freedom."

"Since her scumbag parents died, no one has stopped Sister Yu from living a free life. Her sister and husband are both doing well."

Every person who becomes an internet sensation will undergo a process of being "dug up" by netizens.

This isn't the first time Tang Yu has become a sensation online; it's just that she's been retired for several years, so the new generation of netizens isn't really familiar with her.

Since a marketing account unearthed a video of Tang Yu's old interview and it went viral, many other marketing accounts have followed suit.

This group of people went to Tang Yu's fan page, dug out a lot of videos, and then uploaded them to Douyin and Kuaishou every day.

In the past two years, short video platforms have become the places with the most traffic, so Tang Yu's previous interview videos have once again expanded their reach and spread.

"I didn't understand Sister Yu's abstract ideas and Versailles at all before. I just thought she was a bit arrogant, even though she had the right to be arrogant."

But after experiencing the economic downturn caused by the pandemic, I think I understand that feeling of abstract madness now!

"After all, everyone has been beaten down by life in recent years, but Sister Yu was beaten down by life since she was a child."

She has such wonderful parents, grew up healthy without developing any mental illness, and still lives such a successful and happy life—that's truly amazing.

“Every time I see people talking about the pain their families of origin have caused them, I want them to see Sister Yu. We can’t choose our families of origin, but we can choose to stay away from them!”

"It feels like every few years, Sister Yu's interviews go viral, shocking new netizens."
