Gu Ailing can't explain the spirit of never giving up until the last moment.
Gu Ailing showed her housekeeping skills and the highest difficulty in the first jump, and got 93.75 points with the difficulty of 1440. The big platform competition stipulates that the second jumper should choose the direction he is not good at, so naturally, Gu Ailing scored 88.5 points in the second jump. At this time, platform platform queen Tess Luther ranked first, and Gu Ailing ranked third.
If Gu Ailing chooses the highest difficulty she has never jumped in the third jump, and the jump is not bad, she can sprint for the silver medal, because the analysis platform says that the gold medal will definitely not be won. At the first jump, Gu Ailing has taken out her most difficult trick. 1440. If she wants to win the gold medal, it means trying 1620, which she has never jumped out of.
No female athlete has ever succeeded in 1620 in history. Even if Gu Ailing challenges the difficulty of 1620, the chances of winning the gold medal are extremely small. At this time, her total score ranked third. If she wants to win the gold medal, she must jump from the most difficult direction 1620. It's like letting the national football team play with its left leg and then win the championship against Germany.
Moreover, the risk is extremely high. Gu Ailing still has two events to attend. In case of injury, what should she do in the next two games? The most important thing is that this big platform competition is the weakest of the three events she participated in. In the weak events that are impossible to sprint for the gold medal, plug the risk that you may not be able to participate in the two best events and sprint for the gold medal. Would you?
Many athletes may not take the risk. Not worth it. The commentator said that Gu Ailing played beyond the normal level today and was perfect. Don't get hurt. We are all satisfied. But Gu Ailing decided that she was willing to take the risk. This is the Olympic spirit, breaking through yourself. Willing to try something that no one has done before, the third jump succeeded, and Gu Ailing did it.
