Chapter 53 Chapter 53
Only then did Song Anshan calm down a little.
He took a deep breath and waved his hand, "Let's all go back and rest."
Everyone could see that the coach was in a bad mood and didn't want to bring bad luck, so they all dispersed and left.
In the end, Chu Xi, Jiang Wannan and Lu Wenxuan stayed.
"What's going on? It's rare to see you so angry." Lu Wenxuan asked tentatively.
Song Anshan got angry when this was mentioned, but he still just kept a straight face and waved his hand.
"Don't ask around, just focus on your competition and go back to rest."
Chu Xi and the other two looked at each other, knowing that the coach would definitely not explain in detail, and then turned around and left.
After seeing all the team members leave, Song Anshan was so angry that he sat down on the sofa, poured a glass of water, and drank a big gulp, and then he calmed down a little.
Otherwise, he would not be willing to lead the team to compete here.
There are all kinds of discrimination, as if their own race is inherently noble.
…
When they came out of the room, Chu Xi and Jiang Wannan took the elevator downstairs.
The elevator door opened, and a group of people stood inside. Leading the group was Lee Ye-eun from the South Korean team, and the people behind her were all contestants from the South Korean team as well.
Chu Xi and Jiang Wannan paused and greeted each other out of habit.
When Li Ruien saw Chu Xi and the others, she smiled slightly, waved and nodded.
Soon, Li Ruien led the team down the elevator and walked towards the hotel conference room.
Chu Xi followed their gaze and guessed, "Were they also called in for a random doping test?"
Jiang Wannan frowned slightly. "Don't you think this is bizarre? Before, they only randomly checked a few athletes, but this time it's a group check."
"Yeah." Chu Xi retracted his gaze, pressed the elevator button, and walked into the elevator. "I guess they'll only conduct group inspections on us yellow people."
These words woke Jiang Wannan up.
A hint of anger appeared on her face, and she cursed harshly.
Chu Xi watched the elevator door slowly close and the floors began to climb.
She placed her hands on the elevator railing, her eyes cold, "Only those with insufficient strength would resort to such tricks outside of competition."
Jiang Wannan: "Tomorrow I'll make these shameless people learn to sing the national anthem!"
…
Not only Chu Xi and the other two knew about this, but later the news that the Korean team was undergoing a collective temporary random inspection also reached the ears of other team members.
After everyone analyzed it privately, they guessed what was going on.
Now, all the members of the shooting team were as excited as if they had been injected with chicken blood, and a fire was burning in their hearts.
…
At this time in China, news about the Arsène Miller World Championships began to heat up on the Internet.
[!! The World Championships are coming up so soon? Why does it feel like the World Cup just ended?]
I was still trying to figure out how to spend Christmas, and now that the World Championships are coming up, it's a perfect time to watch them.
Hey sisters, quite a few of us are already at Arcemiller! We just checked into the hotel. If there are any other sisters who would like to come watch the game together, please send me a private message. We'll all gather together tomorrow.
Someone actually went abroad to watch the event live! Ahhhhh, I missed it! I didn't even know there was a World Championship.
After the popularity of the last Shooting World Cup spread in the country, the shooting team gained a lot of fans.
Three months ago, when the outside world still didn't know about the World Championships, fans began to privately discuss how to go to the scene to support them.
When the Shooting World Cup opened, few people knew about the event, resulting in few Chinese spectators supporting it.
But this time, there will definitely be a lot of Chinese spectators at the World Championships.
Fang Ruinian, who had just landed at Assemiller Airport, dragged his suitcase and patted his chest to his friend, saying, "It's absolutely true! Chu Xi is really my cousin."
Ji Le still looked skeptical. "How can you, with your carefree attitude, have a cousin who's a world champion?"
Fang Ruinian smiled proudly and said, "You'll know when the time comes."
Ji Le and Fang Ruinian studied in the UK together.
These two days happen to be Christmas holidays.
Adding the weekends, international students have four extra days of free vacation.
Since they had nothing to do anyway, Fang Ruinian and Ji Le decided to buy some plane tickets and come over to see the Shooting World Championships.
As the popularity of the Shooting World Championships grows, the number of reservations for Yuexin Video's live broadcast of the competition has exceeded one million.
Xu Yingzhe came to the Yuexin video live broadcast room to prepare for the game. He rubbed his hands expectantly, picked up the player information and began to read it.
"There are a lot more young players in this World Championships." Xu Yingzhe sighed with a bit of surprise.
The staff member next to him smiled and nodded, "Yes, the updates are getting faster and faster now."
…
The next morning, the Asemiller World Championships kicked off.
The women's 10-meter air rifle-gun event, as the first event of this World Championships, has attracted international attention.
Netizens from various countries on the foreign Internet have started to broadcast the squat competition live.
At the competition site, Jiang Wannan and other contestants have entered the venue one after another and started pre-match gun test practice.
Since yesterday, Jiang Wannan has been feeling depressed.
When she raised her gun and shot, her sharp eyes, which seemed to penetrate everything, appeared particularly cold in the camera.
[My goodness, Jiang Wannan's aura is so strong today, it's like she's going to stab me.]
[Ahahahahahahaha, this is so exciting! I feel like the first gold medal at the World Championships will be won by the Chinese team again.]
So the shooting events are not fixed in each match. I thought this was the first air pistol mixed team match.
[Looking forward to it! Go Chinese team!]
A dozen or so Chinese fans quietly entered the auditorium. Each of them had a red national flag with a heart painted on their cheek, making them instantly recognizable as Chinese.
"Come on, come on, everyone, move forward." The team leader was a girl with two ponytails. She raised her hand and waved, directing everyone to sit in the front.
Soon, the front row seats were filled.
After watching the others take their seats, the team leader turned around and pulled out a large red national flag from his backpack. He whispered, "Come on, everyone, lend a hand and unfurl the flag. The live broadcast of the game might capture us, so everyone, please be careful."
Soon, four fans sitting in the four corners simultaneously pulled up a corner of the national flag to prop up the entire flag.
The eye-catching red color instantly rose in the audience, becoming the most dazzling red on the scene.
Just as they expected, when the national flag appeared, the live camera of the game just happened to sweep past this side.
The entire screen was immediately covered with red national flags.
Finally, there are Chinese audiences at this event! The Chinese team will win!
[Oh well, I guess I'm the only one who didn't know about the competition. I'm definitely going to the San Lito Olympics next year!]
【Chinese people are everywhere hahahahahaha.】
More and more viewers have been pouring into Yuexin Video's live broadcast room, and the popularity has completely surpassed the last World Cup.
"Hello everyone, nice to see you again. I'm Xu Yingzhe, the commentator for the shooting event at the Arcemiller World Championships."
Xu Yingzhe's clear and melodious voice slowly spread from the live broadcast room.
Netizens who often watch live broadcasts of shooting competitions are already quite familiar with Xu Yingzhe. After hearing his voice, the live broadcast room immediately became quiet and began to wait for the competition to begin.
"In this women's 10-meter air rifle event, the two athletes representing China are Bu Wanyi and Jiang Wannan. They won the gold and silver medals, respectively, in this event at the previous World Cup."
"Let's look forward to their performance on the court today."
When the game started, Chu Xi, Lu Meng and others were still practicing on the training ground.
After the □□ event, the women's 10-meter air pistol event will follow.
Chu Xi raised the gun steadily, aiming the muzzle at the bull's eye.
The moment the trigger was pulled, gunshots rang out in the venue.
After the last shot training was over, Chu Xi slowly exhaled, put away his gun and prepared to rest.
Lu Wenxuan was also taking a break.
Seeing Chu Xi was about to finish, he immediately handed over a bottle of water and asked, "Are you still going to practice tonight?"
Chu Xi nodded, "Practice."
Lu Wenxuan took a big sip of water and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll practice too."
During the break, Chu Xi took out his cell phone and watched the live broadcast of the air rifle match.
When I entered the live broadcast room, the women's 10-meter air rifle competition had already entered the third round of shooting.
Jiang Wannan of the Chinese team ranked first with a score of 239.2 rings.
South Korean team's Xu Anna came in second with 239 rings.
China's Bu Wanyi ranked third with 238.4 rings.
After seeing the ranking, there was a hint of surprise in Chu Xi's eyes.
After making sure that the Chinese team's performance was relatively stable, she exited the live broadcast room, drank some water, and continued training.
When Lu Wenxuan saw Chu Xi start practicing again, he quickly put down his water bottle, stood up and walked to the shooting position with her.
The women's 10-meter air rifle-gun qualifying round has been underway for forty minutes.
The shooting reached the fifth round.
Jiang Wannan performed very stably and her personal results were outstanding, ranking first firmly.
Chinese fans at the scene have been holding up the national flag since the start of the game. When their hands get sore, they immediately switch seats with the people around them and take turns holding the flag.
But because they were afraid of affecting the performance of the players on the scene, they did not dare to cheer or make any sound. They could only suppress their excitement and watch the game quietly.
As the host country, Arsemühle's players also participated in this qualifying tournament.
But their citizens all know that the strength of their players is at best at the qualifying round.
It is almost impossible to advance to the finals.
The cheers at the scene were not very strong.
Most of the time, the entire venue was unusually quiet.
Time passed quickly and the qualifying shooting soon came to the last few shots.
At this time, Jiang Wannan still ranked first.
She held the air rifle steadily with both hands, the flesh on her cheeks being deformed by the gun barrel, but her calm and composed eyes were as firm as torches.
After a few tense and anxious minutes.
Jiang Wannan fired the last shot.
"With her final shot of 10.5, Jiang Wannan secured first place and advanced to the finals! Congratulations to China's Bu Wanyi for advancing to the finals in third place."
Two Chinese players advanced to the finals.
After the news of the Chinese air rifle-gun team's advancement came, Chu Xi and Lu Wenxuan had just finished training.
The two were relatively calm about the news.
It's just a matter of advancing to the qualifying round, which is not a difficult task for the Chinese shooting team.
When the two men put away their guns and prepared to leave the shooting range, they happened to meet Bako Kiri, who had come forward to provoke Chu Xi yesterday.
His face looked very grim and he seemed to be in a bad mood.
In today's air rifle-gun event, both of Hasanko's players failed to advance to the finals, and even their qualifying results were ranked last.
It would be strange if he was in a good mood.
Chu Xi didn't even look at him, turned around and walked around him and continued walking out.
When Lu Wenxuan caught up from behind, he smiled proudly at Bako Kiri, greeted him, and turned away.
Sister Xi was right about one thing yesterday.
Only those who lack ability will have evil thoughts outside of the competition.
I thought Hassan had some secret cards up his sleeve, but it turns out he couldn't even make it to the finals.
The next morning, the women's 10-meter air pistol qualifying round began simultaneously.
During the gun test before the game, as soon as Chu Xi appeared, the audience immediately burst into warm cheers.
For a moment, it felt like I was competing in my own country.
Chu Xi looked up at the audience curiously.
All you can see are red national flags flying in the air, and the fans holding those red flags are undoubtedly all from China.
"We can see that there are still many Chinese spectators at today's competition. Although we are competing abroad, I believe that at this moment, our Chinese team players have already felt the support of the people of China. I believe they will perform even better in today's competition."
Fang Ruinian, who had gotten up early this morning to pack up and rush over to watch the game, also quickly stood up and waved the national flag in his hand, "Go China! Go!"
In order not to affect Chu Xi's competition, he didn't even tell Chu Xi in advance before coming.
"Sister, come on!!" Ji Le on the side also shouted loudly.
After confirming that Fang Ruinian was indeed Chu Xi's cousin, Ji Le also became proud.
Although she is not his sister, she is his sister if you round her up to the nearest digit.
The cheers from the Chinese audience resounded throughout the venue and echoed throughout the shooting range.
There were too many noises, so Chu Xi didn't listen carefully. He soon followed the referee into the venue and began to prepare for the gun test training.
The training accumulated during this period has made Chu Xi more proficient in controlling his body.
After checking the gun, she took a deep breath, relaxed her body, maintained a steady standing posture, raised the gun and started shooting.
Immediately afterwards, gunshots rang out one after another on the field.
"South Korea's Song Yeong-mi is also a new player. A few months ago, at the Korean internal trials, Song Yeong-mi defeated South Korean player Lee Ye-eun with an outstanding performance. You should know that Lee Ye-eun won the silver medal in the women's individual event at the last Olympics. Four years ago, she was only eighteen years old. And Song Yeong-mi, who is here today, is also eighteen years old."
"The talented players from four years ago and the talented players from four years later are now representing the Korean team."
[Only eighteen? Oh my god, she's too young. I thought someone like Chu Xi was already outrageous, but I didn't expect there were even more outrageous ones.]
[How come the Korean team always has so many talented young athletes emerging in shooting?]
[It's okay, our Chinese team has Chu Xi and Lu Meng.]
Chu Xi can beat Lee Rui Eun in the World Cup, but Song Ling Mei can also beat Lee Rui Eun. It's hard to say which of them is more stable.
When netizens in the live broadcast room heard that a dark horse player suddenly emerged in the South Korean team, they immediately became anxious.
Chu Xi on the competition field was still concentrating on the pre-match gun test training.
If you observe carefully, many people can find that every shot Chu Xi shoots is very decisive.
The instructor often says, "The more confident you are, the more decisive your shooting will be. The more decisive you are, the more natural your movements will be."
From a technical point of view, the players who can participate in international competitions are basically at the same level.
So what everyone is competing for in the end is confidence and mentality.
A quarter of an hour of gun test training is over.
Chu Xi quickly put away his gun and began to prepare to enter the competition.
Two minutes later, the chief referee announced: "Women's 10-meter air pistol qualifying round begins."
Song Lingmei, a player from the South Korean team, was shooting at the shooting position next to Chu Xi.
After the start of the competition was announced, Song Lingmei and Chu Xi raised their wrists and raised their air pistols almost at the same time.
The two people's expressions, demeanor, and even their movements and postures were synchronized with each other in an unprecedented way.
"You can see that although Song Lingmei is only 18 years old, she is actually very calm when shooting on the field. This kind of composure beyond her peers is something we have seen countless times in Chinese team player Chu Xi."
Xu Yingzhe said with some emotion: "It's true that the waves behind push the waves ahead, and each generation is stronger than the previous one."
More than ten seconds of aiming time passed.
Chu Xi and Song Lingmei pulled the trigger at the same time.
The results of the two people's first shots were also updated at the same time at the bottom of the broadcast screen.
Chu Xi: 10.5 rings.
Song Lingmei: 10.5 rings.
"Same results, same first shooting in the qualifying round. The two athletes have already started a silent competition and pursuit."
Chu Xi began to aim the second shot with concentration.
The moment he raised his eyes, Chu Xi's aura became stronger.
In daily life, she always faces everyone with the calmest attitude, and no one can easily notice her inner emotional changes.
Only at this moment of the competition did she make no secret of her determination to win.
Everyone can see the determination and persistence in Chu Xi's heart.
"After the first round of shooting, Chu Xi is in the first place, 0.7 rings higher than the second-place contestant Song Lingmei! Chu Xi is still very stable!" Xu Yingzhe's voice revealed the pride and confidence of the Chinese people.
The netizens who were worried just now also calmed down and continued to look forward to the game.
It was not until the end of the third round of shooting that Song Lingmei caught up with the first place.
Chu Xi was only 0.2 rings behind her.
The hearts of Chinese audiences were lifted again.
Fang Ruinian and Ji Le, who were at the scene, were so nervous that they didn't even dare to blink, for fear of missing the shot by accident.
The fifth round of shooting began, and Chu Xi regained the first place again.
Unexpectedly, South Korea's Lee Ye-eun also performed exceptionally well and rushed to second place.
Ranked third was Song Lingmei.
Next is Lu Meng from the Chinese team, currently ranked fourth.
"The final round of shooting, the qualifying round is about to end. The top eight players are from China, South Korea, Italy, Catantu, and Hasanko."
"Hasanko has not participated in any international shooting competitions since last year. But judging from today's qualifying rounds, Hassanko's athletes seem to have performed well."
While the commentary was going on, five more shots were fired on the field.
Chu Xi still maintains the advantage of leading the first place.
Her unwavering figure on the court has almost become a stabilizing force in everyone's heart.
When it came to the last two shots, Xu Yingzhe's commentary disappeared.
He held his breath and stared at the broadcast screen.
Chu Xi took the lead in completing the penultimate shot: 10.4 rings.
Then, she decisively raised her gun again and took aim for the last time.
Chu Xi's posture of holding a gun with one hand appeared in the broadcast camera.
Her calm eyes were like the still surface of water.
While everyone was waiting, Chu Xi shot decisively.
The score of the last shot: 10.6.
Song Lingmei and Chu Xi, who regained their place in second place, were still 0.5 rings behind and failed to complete the comeback, ultimately finishing the game in second place.
"After the last shot, Chu Xi is still in first place! At this moment, we can finally believe that even if a new talented dark horse player emerges, Chu Xi of the Chinese team will be able to firmly maintain her honor."
"Also, let us congratulate Lu Meng of the Chinese team for advancing to the finals after finishing fourth in the qualifying round. The Chinese women's 10-meter air pistol has long been lacking talent. But with these two women, this once-weak event for the Chinese shooting team has finally gained new luster."
“I wish them to go further and longer in this project in the future.”
"Thank you for watching, and see you tomorrow in the finals."
