In March, sports events rekindled.

For Li Dai's Olympic training camp, this is a small test, and the effect of the Olympic training camp will be tested in the competition.

There is no first weapon without the second, the strength of the athletes has not become stronger, look at the results at a glance to know.

The results of the competition have continued, and those athletes who participated in the Li Dai Olympic training camp have all performed very well, and everyone's achievements are on a higher level.Even Müller and Zuma, who are already at the top of the world, can feel that their state is getting better.

The results will not lie, when other athletes see that Li Dai's training camp has such a good effect, they have come to register, Li Dai's Olympic training camp and received a lot of people.

In May, the Olympic trials of various sports in the United States also kicked off.

The athletes of the Olympic training camp are still making great progress, and they will be eligible for one Olympic Games.

In June, another European and South American athlete came to Los Angeles to enter the Olympic training camp.

These are the athletes who have already qualified for the Olympic Games, and they are here to make the final sprint for the Olympic Games.In addition, there are only two months before the opening of the Olympic Games, and there are many people who are in a hurry to rush to the doctor.

For a while, Li Dai’s Olympic training camp was overcrowded.

...

In front of the training center, there was a white middle-aged woman wandering around, she seemed to want to go in, but she was hesitant.

This middle-aged woman is not tall, looks less than a meter six, and is not fat, and even looks a little thin, the body absolutely can be called petite.This small size is not seen among white Americans.

After wandering for a long time, the middle-aged woman finally got up the courage and walked to the door of the training center.

She had just come to the door, the door just opened, only to see Li Dai come out from the inside, and this middle-aged woman hit the face.

“Coach Lee!”The middle-aged woman’s eyes flashed in an incredulous look.

Li Dai found that the middle-aged woman looked familiar, and a few seconds later, he remembered the identity of the middle-aged woman.

“Are you Kpanova?”Lee asked tentatively.

"Hello, Coach Lee, I'm Kpanova."The woman answered somewhat idly.

Li Dai's face gave a look of respect, and then asked: "Ms. Kpanova, are you looking for someone, or are you planning to sign up for a training course?"

"I..." Kpanova hesitated for more than a second, then said, "I want to register, I know you have an Olympic training camp here, but..."

Kpanova had some flickering words, as if it were unspeakable.

"Let's go and talk."Li Dai made a gesture of invitation and took Kpanova to the meeting room.

...

In the room, two guests are seated.

A cup of coffee was brought to Kpanova, and then Li Dai asked, “Ms. Kpanova, since you are planning to sign up for the Olympic training camp, that is, you are planning to participate in this year’s Olympic Games?”

Kpanova nodded, “Yes.”

“You’ve been to five Olympics, haven’t you?”Lee asked unconsciously.

"It's six, and this year, it's the seventh Olympic Games I've been to."Kpanova answered.

“I’m sorry, but you’re almost 40 years old, aren’t you?”Don't get me wrong, I don't mean anything else, I just want to remind you that there is no advantage in participating in the Olympic Games at this age."Li Dai said.

"I'm 41 years old."Instead of avoiding her age, Kpanova continued: “I know I’m dealing with a group of athletes who are more than twenty years younger than me, some of whom are younger than my son!”But I have to go, I've got to be qualified for the Olympics."

“Are you here for your son?”Lee continued to ask.

“Yes.His condition is well under control, but he also needs to take drugs, and if he stops taking them in a few months, his condition will worsen, and those drugs are expensive.”Kpanova answered honestly.

Li Dai sighed, and his heart sighed, poor parents in the world!

"Coach Li, I know that you are the best physical training center in the world, there are many older athletes, after your training have regained their young state, so I hope to participate in your Olympic training camp."But I may not be able to pay the training fee, if I can, can I pay the training fee in installments...”

...

Li Dai is more of a tribute to Kpanova.

Kpanova is a legendary athlete in women's gymnastics and one of the most participating in the Olympic Games, if she also chooses to participate in the Olympic Games, then "one" can be removed.

What an incredible thing a female gymnast to participate in seven Olympics!

Kpanova was a Soviet-era athlete, and before the Soviet Union had disintegrated, she represented the former Soviet Union at the Gymnastics World Championships.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the CIS countries formed a wing, Kpanova participated in the Olympic Games as an athlete of the CIS, and won the Olympic gold medal.Four years later, she represented her home country, Uzbekistan, for the third time in the Olympics, after which she decided to retire.

Unfortunately, unfortunately, it fell on Kpanova, her son was diagnosed with leukemia, and everyone who had seen "I am not a drug god" knew that similar to this disease, she could live with drugs.

The price of the patented special drug, Kpanova simply can not afford, not to mention other treatment costs, so Kpanova chose to come back, the fourth time to participate in the Olympic Games.

Kpanova later became a German citizen because the medical conditions in Germany were much higher than in Uzbekistan.She represented Germany in two Olympics, when she was 37 years old.

Germany is also a sports power, domestic talent, obviously do not need a 37-year-old female gymnast, in order to continue to treat her son, Kpanova returned to her home country of Uzbekistan, she will represent Uzbekistan, to participate in this Olympic Games.

This is her seventh time competing in the Olympics!

This year, she is 41 years old!

A young athlete who has reached retirement, in order to treat his child, chooses to come back and continue to participate in the competition, which may not be an example.

This is a women’s gymnastics program!

The peak age of this project is 16 to 20 years old, many female gymnasts, more than 20 years old began to consider retirement, few people can persist until the age of 30.

However, the 41-year-old Kpanova is still competing!In the game, she is faced with a group of opponents who are more than twenty years younger than her.

Is this a miracle?

No!This is a mother's great!

...

Li Dai agreed to Kpanova's request and promised her to pay the training fee in installments.

At the same time, Li Dai also deliberately opened a very low training price, so as not to cause a great burden on Kpanova.

Li Dai was very sympathetic to Kpanova's experience, sympathy, and more respect for this mother.

But Li Dai also knows that a 41-year-old female gymnast, even if she is standing in the Olympic Games, is unlikely to achieve too good results.

Women's gymnastics is the most youthful meal of all the sports in the Olympic Games!

For example, shooting, even if the 60-year-old athlete, as long as the eyes do not spend, can still win the championship.

For example, archery, 40- and 50-year-old veteran, as long as there is a correct head, can still win the championship.

Table tennis or badminton, 30 or 40 years old also hold the world champion athletes have some.

Basketball or football, about 30 years old is the peak age.

Even athletics or swimming, which relies heavily on the body, is about the strongest time around the age of twenty-five.

Only gymnastics, especially women's gymnastics, 20 years old is the older athlete, the domestic gymnastics team at all levels, retired as a coach at the age of 21, is normal operation.

What does it mean for 41-year-old Kpanova to compete with an 18-year-old girl?

So Li Dai intended to use a age-reducing card for Kpanova.

The limit of the age-reducing card is only reduced by twelve years, and the duration is one month.

The gymnastics competition of the Olympic Games will certainly not take a month, so the time to reduce the age card is not enough.But after Kpanova was 12 years old, she was still 29 years old, which far exceeded the peak age of female gymnasts.

The 29-year-old gymnast is also over-age.

“29 is better than 41!”Lee reassured himself.

In fact, Li Dai had another idea, that is, to give Kpanova tens of thousands of dollars directly, as her son's medical expenses.For Li Dai, tens of thousands of dollars can still be obtained.

However, Li Dai himself rejected the idea.

Because Kpanova is a great mother, she is completely worth wearing to use a card.What she deserves is respect, not tens of thousands of dollars.

Li Dai even decided that even if Kpanova did not achieve good results in the Olympic Games, he would give Kpanova a job and hire her as a coach at the training center so that she could afford her son's treatment.

As a coach in the United States, the salary is definitely much higher than working in Uzbekistan.

It is better to give a man a fish than to give a man a fish.

...

The quadrennial Olympic Games have once again begun.

This time, Li Dai did not participate in the Olympic Games as a head coach, but he was not a spectator, because more than 200 of the participants in this Olympic Games were customers of the Li Dai Training Center.

Gymnastics is a relatively early start of a competition, jumping horse is a very important project in gymnastics.

The vault was already a competition in the first modern Olympic Games in 1896, and it is a competition with a long history in modern sports.In recent years, more and more women's jumping horses have begun to use men's movements, which makes women's jumping horses more and more exciting.

The Olympic horse vault competition is obviously the highest level of vaulting competition in the world, and it is also the highest viewing horse vault competition.Especially in the final of the women's vault, the strength of the athletes are extraordinary, and few people do the action below the difficulty factor of 6.0, such as the difficulty factor of 6.4, which often appears.

Today's women's vault finals are also a gathering of stars, such as the project's defending champion Russian athlete Natalia, such as the seven-time Olympic veteran, "mother-class" player, 41-year-old Kpanova.

But the most important thing is American Simons.

Simmons is a black athlete, and the 19-year-old appeared in the adult group only three years ago.However, in just three years, she won ten gymnastics world championships gold medals, surpassing Russia's "gymnastics queen" and the United States' "gymnastics princess", becoming the most gold medalist in the history of women's gymnastics.

And considering that Simmons is only 19 years old, she can fight for at least another three years and get more world championship gold medals, obviously deserved.

Simons is also an all-around fighter, she is the first athlete in the history of women's gymnastics to win the world championships all-around three consecutive championships.Undoubtedly, such an achievement means that she is a superstar of the gymnastics program of this era and the ruler of women's gymnastics!

However, Simons, the all-powerful king, is the best project to jump!

Most ordinary people feel that balance wood is the most difficult project in women's gymnastics.Then a thin wooden stick, it is difficult for ordinary people to stand up to maintain balance, and athletes have to make all kinds of difficult actions on it, which is more like acting acrobatics.

But in fact, for professional athletes, jumping horse is the most difficult gymnastics project.Because the vault needs to complete a set of coherent actions in an instant after vacating, this does not look like a balance wood or a high and low bar, and there is a buffer preparation time before completing the complete set of actions.

In any sport, when it comes to technical action, the coherent action is more difficult than a single action.

The higher the high level of the race, the greater the difficulty of jumping horse, the difficulty factor of 5.8 horse jumping action, and the difficulty factor of 6.0 jump horse, although only 0.2 difficulty factor, but really completed, but the difference is between the sky.

For the United States, it has maintained the world's top gymnastics level for decades, but in the more than 100 years of Olympic history, the United States team has never won the gold medal of the women's vault.

Today, Simmons is the first person in U.S. history to win the gold medal in the women's vault Olympics.

...

The first to appear is a 16-year-old Canadian general, who has not previously participated in the championships or participated in the Olympic Games, her first appearance on the stage of a world-class competition.For her, being able to advance to the final is already a perfect performance.

The strength of the Canadian general is also quite good, the first jump selected a 6.0 difficulty technical action, obtained a completion score of 8.766, the second jump selected a technical action with a difficulty factor of 6.3, and achieved a completion score of 8.666.

In the horse vault competition, an athlete needs to jump twice in a row, and the technical action of the two times cannot be the same.Before the athlete jumps, they need to tell the referee about their actions, determine the difficulty of the action, and then play.

The difficulty score plus the athlete's completion score, and then subtract the penalty of the error, is the athlete's test jump this time.The results of the two test jumps are combined and divided by two, and the average score obtained is the total score of the athlete.

Taking the first Canadian athlete to appear as an example, the difficulty score of his first action is 6.0, and the completion score is 8.766, so his total score for this action is 14.766.The second action difficulty factor increased by 0.3 points, and the completion score was reduced by 0.1 points, so the score of the second action was 14.966 points.

If the athlete makes a mistake in completing the action, then the score of the error must be deducted in calculating the score.For example, when stepping on the boundary when landing, 0.1 points will be deducted according to the rules.

For a competition at the international level, and the Olympic final, the Canadian teenager's play can be called perfect, but in this world's top competition, the difficulty factor of 6.0 and 6.3 technical action, even if it is perfect, it is impossible to win the championship, even the impact medal is difficult.

Sure enough, the players who played behind the game had a high difficulty factor, and the completion points were great, and the scores of the players exceeded 15 points, even more than 15.5 points.

With the arrival of one master, the game has also entered the white-hot stage.

The last champion women's vault champion Russian Natalia first jump, directly chose the second hand turn - straight back space flip body 900 degrees of technical action, this set of action difficulty factor of 6.3.

The strength of the defending champion is indeed not to be underestimated, she got a high score of 9.250 points, the total score of this set of action is 15.550.

Then the second jump, Natalia increased the difficulty, she chose the difficulty factor of 6.5 after the hand flipped 180 degrees - straight before the empty flip body 540 degrees.This is a very difficult set of action, ordinary professional players have no strength to challenge, and the difficulty factor of 6.5 is also the highest difficulty factor in today's Olympic finals.

In this jump, Natalia scored a high score of 15.750, and the ranking also jumped to the first place.And the score of 15.650 is also difficult to surpass.

Many people at the scene felt that Natalia's successful defense was still a matter of eight or nine.

...

It was Simon’s turn.

Natalia's high score of 15.650 did make Simmons feel the pressure.

Her first set of actions was also a trunchees of the back of the pedal of the difficulty factor of 6.3 - 900 degrees of flipping the body of the back of the straight body, just as Natalia had chosen the technical action.

Simons then told Natalia with strength that there would be no harm without contrast.

The same is the back of the on-the-back of the straight body, the back of the body is 900 degrees, Natalia's completion score is 9.250 points, and Simmons' completion score is amazing 9.6 points!

That's 0.35 minutes!

This is the power gap.

The first jump is the terrible 15.9 points, this result, worthy of the "world's strongest" title!

And the lead of 0.35 points, in this level of the contest, is almost irreversible.

Everyone believes that the Olympic gold medal of the women's vault has fallen into Simmons' pocket.

Holding a 0.35-point lead, Simmons' second jump can choose a slightly lower difficulty factor.

Natalia's second choice is the technical action with a difficulty factor of 6.5 points, so Simmons chose an action with a difficulty factor of more than 6.2 points, which can be more safe to complete beyond.

Under the attention of the whole audience, Simmons gave the referee his next move.

The judge was a little surprised, then discussed for half a day, and finally determined.

180 degrees - the straight frontal flip body is 720 degrees, the difficulty factor is 6.4, and this is a new action, the action was released by Simmons himself.

If Simmons completes this test jump, then this set of technical moves will also have a chance to be named after Simmons!

Simons took a deep breath and began to run quickly, jumping and vacating, the height of the vacated was perfect, and the posture of the air was comparable to art!

With both feet landing, Simons steadily tactics, and then raised his chest and raised his hands, ending this set of actions.

Impeccable completion!

The referee finally gave a super high score of 9.633 points, plus a difficulty score of 6.4 points, Simons' second jump score was 16.033 points!

Reverse score!

The vaulting sport, with a score of more than 16 points, should appear on the men's vault.

However, Simmons, a female athlete, has jumped out of the general results of male players!

Even the TV station explanation couldn't help but say: "The competition is over, we can congratulate Simons in advance, won the Olympic women's vault championship!"

At this point, however, one player still did not appear.

That is the seventh time to participate in the Olympic Games, 41-year-old veteran Kpanova!

...

Kpanova knows what kind of opponent she is facing.

She made the international debut at the age of fourteen, and she has seen too many top athletes in her 27-year career.

When the Russian "Gistress Queen" just debuted, Kpanova is the world champion, until the "gymnastics queen" retired, Kpanova is still in the war; then the United States "gymnastics princess", to take over the position of the Russian "gymnastics queen", Kpanova is still the "gymnastics princess" to retire.

It can be said that Kpanova witnessed the rise and fall of women's gymnastics in the past 30 years, witnessed the rise of one king, and then witnessed their passage.

Now, another king has appeared in women's gymnastics, Simons, a stronger person than the "gymnastics queen" and "gymnastics princess".

Kpanova herself had to admit that Simons, a black girl half the size of her son, was the most talented female gymnast she had ever seen.

Kpanova also knew that even at the peak of her own, she was not necessarily Simons' opponent, and now she is 41 years old, which is almost a battle with pebbles.

But Kpanova still stood on the field, and for her son, she had to fight again.

Kpanova reported to the referee the action she was about to complete, the forehand flip - the body choked the empty body 360 degrees, the difficulty factor of 6.4.

This was originally a set of men's horse vaulting action, because the difficulty is too large, so no female player can complete this action.

The first to use this set of actions is Kpanova himself, this set of actions is also the first set of Kpanova named after the jumping action.

Twenty years ago, Kpanova had won the world championship with this technical action, which is her signature action, for her, this is a familiar set of actions that can no longer be familiar.

Running, jumping, vacating, Kpanova successfully completed this set of familiar technical actions, no mistakes!

Finished 9.30 points, which is a very high finish, even surpassing Russian Natalia.

Perhaps in terms of completion, Kpanova is not perfect, but with the aura of "41-year-old mother who insists on competing for the treatment of his son", the referee will give more points.

The difficulty score of 6.4 plus the completion score of 9.3, Kpanova's total score of 15.7 points, which is a very good result!

But the distance from winning the championship is not enough, because the first jump of the American Simons is 15.9 points, compared with Kpanova is still 0.2 points.

More importantly, Simons' second jump score is 16.033 points, too counter-inverse, it is simply impossible to surpass!

Kpanova took a deep breath, and of course she knew that it was almost impossible for the 0.2-point gap to catch up.If you want to win the championship, unless her second jump is more than 16.233 points, so that she can beat Simmons in the total score.

Even in the male players, 16.233 points are high points, women jumping 16.233 points?I was just laughing!

But Kpanova has no way out, for her, to win the gold medal, you can get more national bonuses, that is his son's medical expenses, is his son's life!

Originally, Kpanova intended to choose a front hand flip-flip body 540 degrees in the second jump, which is also a technical action with a difficulty factor of 6.4, and it is also the first time that Kpanova uses it, also named after her technical action.

This set of actions, Kpanova also practiced for more than ten years, the same is extremely familiar, she is confident that it can be done very well.

But this set of actions can not get a high score of 16.233 points!

6.4 technical difficulty, in order to get 16.233 points, you must have a score of 9.833 points.

No one can do that!Even if the on-site referee is a father, it is impossible to get a score of 9.833!

Kpanova has been cornered.

The next moment, a decisive expression appeared on her face.

Then, she reported to the referee her second jump technical action.

“The front hand turned – two weeks before the regiment!”

The judge stood for ten seconds, and he felt that he must have heard wrong.

“Colleat it again?”The judge asked.

“The front hand turned – two weeks before the regiment!”Kpanova answered.

“Are you sure?It’s the front hand-turning – two weeks in front of the group!”The judge had an incredible face.

“Yes!”Kpanova nodded her head very seriously.

If it is a new athlete, the referee may think that the athlete made the wrong name of the action, but the Kpanova in front of him is a few years older than the referee herself, and her time to practice gymnastics is longer than the referee when the athlete and the referee, and it is certainly not to mistake the name of the technical action.

The judge opened his mouth and tried to persuade Kpanova, but when he spoke, he remembered his duties.Then he sighed helplessly and chose Kpanova's high-speed referee team.

...

On the big screen of the scene, the technical difficulty of Kpanova's jump is given.

7.0!

Women's jumping horse, difficulty technology 7.0 action!

In front of the TV, Li Dai, who was watching the live broadcast of the game, rolled his eyes.

Although he is not a gymnast, he also knows what the action of Difficulty Technology 7.0 means!

At this moment, Li Dai suddenly appeared in his mind, which is recognized as the world's most difficult and dangerous gymnastics, whether it is a man or a woman.

And this set of actions also has a nickname, that is, "death jump"!

...

Front hand rollover - the front of the group flip for two weeks, the women's vault movement in history the most difficult set of action.

Before the 1990s, the front hand flipped horse is only the expertise of male athletes, the focus of this technology is the second vacating, the second vacating effect is not good, the follow-up action is difficult to complete.

The front hand flipped after the front, which is also a challenge.More importantly, it needs to be turned over in front of the group, and it will take another two weeks.

When people are vacated, whether it is straight or buckling, it is easier to master the balance than the group body, and when the group body is flipped, the whole person is like a cannonball, fast, poor balance, and difficult to control.If you are a little careless, the whole person will hit the ground like a ball.

So this set of actions is very dangerous, since the day of its appearance, there have been calls in the gymnastics community to cancel this set of actions.There have been many of the world's top athletes who wanted to contact this action, and they were rejected by the coach.

This set of actions, there have been only five people in history, Kpanova is one of them.

But when she finished the action, she was only 28 years old, and this year she was 41 years old!

...

The audience at the scene has seen the difficulty factor of 7.0.

The wise man immediately understood, Kpanova chose but the front hand turned - the first half of the group turned around for two weeks this set of "death jump".

"Is she mad?"Choose the death of the jump!”

“Oh my God, did she forget that she was 41 years old?”

“Kpanova, this is hard!”

The audience seemed to riot, and no one could have imagined that the 41-year-old Kpanova had chosen the forehand turn-of-the-half for two weeks in front of the group, which had a difficulty factor of 7.0.

“Why?Why did she choose this action?“Is it for that gold medal?”Simons glared, she knew that the score she led, Kpanova simply can not catch up, unless it is to choose such a top-level difficult technical action, it is possible to rely on the difficulty of the point of surpassing themselves.

But Simons didn't understand at all, Kpanova had to fight so hard!

It’s not a game, it’s a fight!

Even for an Olympic gold medal, you can't fight for your life!

Simons was raised by her own grandmother, and she hardly ever felt a mother's love when she was young, so she could not feel Kpanova's mood.

In order for her son to live, Kpanova is willing to fight hard!

Everyone's eyes are focused on Keppanova's body, and those who know Kpanova's experience can feel at this time that this petite woman in front of her is so great!

Standing on the field, Pakova's identity is no longer an athlete, but a mother!

...

The camera at the scene gave Kpanova a close-up of the face, and at this time, her face was full of determination to look in front.

“Oh!Oh yeah!“Oh!”

In the audience, someone couldn’t help but start patting their hands rhythmically.Then, this rhythm of claps like an infectious disease, quickly resounding throughout the field.

On the other side, the simultaneous men’s pom horse race had stopped, and their eyes were on it.

In the court, a female judge could not help but stand up and look at Kpanova with tears.She was also a mother, and she knew what had happened to Kpanova, so she could understand Kpanova’s choice.

Someone made a gesture of prayer to God, and they prayed for Kpanova, hoping that she would succeed.

At this time, Kpanova seemed to have not felt everything around her at all.

She remembered her son, and in her memory, he was always smiling at her, even if he lay in his hospital bed after chemotherapy and endured great pain, he would smile at her!

Kpanova knew that that smile was something she was willing to protect with her life.

Running, the front hand turned on the horse, then the body, the front of the flip for two weeks, when landing, Kpanova still did not control, slightly moved a small step forward.

This jump, Kpanova exhausted her strength and completed the whole set of actions, although it is not perfect, but there was no mistake!

Difficulty factor 7.0 death jump, she finished!

When Kpanova landed, there was no half-pleasure in her heart, and her heart was more nervous.

She must get 16.233 points, remove the difficulty score of 7.0 points, and she must complete the score of 9.233 points.

So Kpanova looked at the big screen for the first time, anxious, uneasy, nervous, all written on her face.

The camera is also aimed at Simons under the stage, she looks very calm, she feels that Kpanova's set of actions, can get 9 points to complete the score is good.

The next second, Kpanova's results appeared on the big screen.

Difficulty: 7.0.

Completed: 9.333.

Overall score: 16.333!

Kpanova won!

...

“Why?How could it be so high!”Simons looked at the big screen in disbelief, and it seemed to her that this jump of Kpanova was not equipped with such a high score.

The coach of the U.S. team patted Simons on the shoulder and said, "Son, you didn't lose this game!"

Simons looked at the coach with an imperceptible look, and she didn’t quite understand what the coach meant.

The coach looked at Kpanova, who was crying with a headache, and then said, "You didn't lose strength, but you lost to a mother!"
