I almost touched the moon

Chapter 346 He is not creating history, he is history

In addition to Cheng Che, there were two athletes from Switzerland and one Austrian athlete at the freestyle skiing obstacle pursuit final at the Innsbruck Winter Olympics.

Among them, Austrian athlete Daniel Schimdt advanced to the finals with the first place in the preliminaries, and Swiss athlete Anthony Leitner was the obstacle pursuit champion of the last Winter Olympics. Even Swiss teenager Caleb Lefevre, who participated in the Winter Olympics for the first time, also won the gold medal in snow skills, and his strength should not be underestimated.

Therefore, today's competition was particularly fierce, and the cheers in the stadium were one after another. The most popular players were of course the host players Daniel and Cheng Che.

Right behind Wen Song, after a deafening shout of “Daniel!!!komm schon!” (Come on, Daniel), there was an even more intense “Cheng Che! Come on!!! Cheng Che! Come on!!! Cheng Che! Come on!!!”

There were even sounds of gongs, and someone was leading the cheers. Not only was the cheering louder than the Austrian audience's, but it was also more rhythmic, turning the away game into a home game.

Wen Song was startled by the gong sound, and he leaned closer to Wang Shuning, saying in disbelief, "Is Cheng Che so popular in China?"

"Yes." Wang Shuning smiled, "The last time in Beijing, it was even more exaggerated. The whole venue was filled with only my brother's fans. There were all kinds of banners and the cheers were so loud that I could hear them even in the lounge area."

Cheng Xuan was a little speechless and said, "No way, what on earth do they like about my brother? What's so good about a man in his thirties?"

Wen Song listened to his words, looked at him with a fake smile and chuckled twice, then took out his phone and started sending WeChat messages to Cheng Che, saying, "I'll ask your brother for you. Ah Che, Cheng Xuan said he doesn't understand why you are so popular. He said, a man in his thirties..."

"Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, I was wrong!" Cheng Xuan quickly begged for mercy, "Sister-in-law, I did this for you. You know, my brother has so many fans, so it's inevitable that he's a little irrational, right? It would be bad if he causes trouble."

"Thank you so much." Wen Songben was just joking with him. He put his phone back and looked at the starting point nervously.

As the competition began, Cheng Che quickly jumped off the starting platform. Because he was good at slope obstacle skills, he could always land farther on the platform. With this advantage, he was in the leading position at the beginning of the competition, leaving his three opponents behind.

"Roche is currently in first place!" The commentator's voice was a little excited, "Very fast! He crossed every obstacle steadily without any mistakes! He kept at least three meters away from the second place Schimdt! Come on, Schimdt! Speed ​​up!"

The subsequent curve area has always been Cheng Che's weakness, and Daniel also has a tendency to accelerate and catch up. Wen Song was very nervous, biting his lower lip tightly, not daring to say a word, for fear that he would be a bad omen again.

Before the competition, Cheng Xuan said to Wen Song, "I didn't want to come and watch, but my parents insisted that I come. What's so interesting about a skiing competition?" But now the cheers are almost like roars.

"Brother!! Come on!!! Cheng Che!! Come on!!! Brother!!!! Faster!!!"

The cheers from others were also very loud. Even Samuel followed Si Yao and Lin Weiran and said in his unskilled Chinese: "Master, come on!!"

Days of training and cramped muscles at the end of each day will definitely pay off. After slowing down slightly on the curve, Cheng Che slid his snowballs vigorously in the next area to speed up, widening the gap between him and the other players and still maintaining the leading position.

At the last downhill snow track, Cheng Che had already maintained a distance of 5 to 6 meters from Daniel, the second place, and the gold medal was within his grasp. In less than ten seconds, Cheng Che crossed the finish line with an absolute lead, raised his hands high, and celebrated his first Olympic gold medal in obstacle pursuit.

The cheers in the stadium were louder, almost piercing the sky. Wen Song's eyes were already filled with tears. The moment she saw Cheng Che take off his goggles and helmet and wave at her, she really wanted to rush to the snow track and hug him.

When people are extremely excited, they may really lose their minds. Knowing that there were media and Cheng Che's fans all around him, Wen Song shouted loudly in Chinese towards his position: "A Che!!! I love you!!!"

Cheng Che heard her voice and immediately turned to look at her. His ears were red from excitement and agitation. He also said to Wen Song, "I love you, too."

During the broadcast, the commentator was also passionately explaining this competition. The joy of seeing Cheng Che win the championship overshadowed everything. Wen Song couldn't even hear what the commentator was saying. He only heard their clear words, "…He's the first athlete who won gold medals both in slopestyle and ski cross. Roche, he's not making history, he, is the history itself!! He is history!"

(He was the first athlete to win gold medals in both slopestyle and obstacle course. Roche, he wasn’t just making history, he was history. He was history!)

Cheng Xuan cried and said: "It's so touching, my brother is so passionate, I want to cry even more when I hear the Chinese commentary."

"Yes, the Chinese commentary is so good." Lin Weiran also cried and shared the Chinese commentary with Wen Song and the others.

"Ten years ago, in Livigno, Italy, Cheng Che became the first Asian athlete to win the world championship in freestyle skiing slopestyle. Eight years ago in Sapporo, Japan, he represented China and won the first Olympic gold medal in slopestyle, achieving a breakthrough in China and even Asia's zero medals in this event.

Four years ago in Beijing, he became the first and only athlete to win two consecutive Olympic gold medals in this event, and the first athlete to win medals in both slopestyle and obstacle pursuit. Today, in Innsbruck, Austria, at his third Winter Olympics, he once again broke through himself and won the gold medal in obstacle pursuit, shocking the world!

We can tell the world that the best freestyle skier in the world, the only one who can excel in both speed and trick skiing, is called Cheng Che, he is from China, and he is the captain of the Chinese freestyle skiing team! "

Wen Song burst into tears after hearing these words. Seeing Cheng Che wearing the national flag and looking confident, she was even more moved. In the past ten years, she has accompanied Cheng Che from obscurity to his current glory.

She accompanied him through the initial doubts and retreats, training again and again, getting injured again and again, he would be sad, complain and act like a spoiled child in front of Wen Song, and he also told her that the high-intensity training and competitions were too tiring and he didn't want to continue. But he didn't give up, he kept persisting.

The award ceremony began, Cheng Che stood on the highest podium, and the national anthem was played for him again. The midday sun shone on the snow, and the reflected light fell on Cheng Che's figure in white ski clothes, making him look even more dazzling, and the five-star red flag in front of Cheng Che was also particularly bright red and eye-catching.

Looking at the national flag, Wen Song couldn't help but think that in the past ten years, Cheng Che had really created too many historical moments for himself and his country, even at the end of his career. He himself was history itself.

After the awards ceremony, Cheng Che immediately went to prepare for the obstacle course relay preliminaries, without even having any time to rest. During the short one-hour rest period, he came to Wen Song and solemnly handed his gold medal to her.

"Keep it for yourself. I'm forgetful and it's easy to lose it."

"It doesn't matter if it's lost, I still have a lot." Cheng Che smiled and kissed Wen Song at the corner of his eyes.

Wen Song smiled and hugged him, and couldn't help but stand on tiptoe to kiss him, "He's so handsome, my husband is really the best in the world."

"Thank you, my dear." Cheng Che also kissed her lips passionately, hugged her tightly and said, "But if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have won this gold medal. Everyone advised me before that athletes couldn't compete in both skill competitions and speed competitions. Only you told me to do what I wanted to do most and not leave any regrets. I was able to get the gold medal because of you, so of course I have to give it to you."

"So touching?" Wen Song felt a little embarrassed by what he said, "You completed the training by yourself, so you don't have to thank me. But you have won the gold medal, what reward do you want?"

Cheng Che thought for a while, looked at her seriously and said, "Song Song... I want to see you win the Nobel Prize."

"Do you really think I'm a genius?" Wen Song laughed dumbly, "That's impossible. I'm not that great. I don't want to make such a great contribution to human physics."

"You can." Cheng Che looked at her and said, "You definitely can."

"When I first met you, I realized that you are very similar to your mother. You are both very ambitious. It's just that you don't like to put too much pressure on yourself, so you don't have any goals and think that being good enough is enough."

Cheng Che sat down next to Wen Song, took her hand, looked at her and asked, "Song Song, tell me the truth, do you really not want to win the Nobel Prize?"

Wen Song was silent. She had always felt that the Nobel Prize was out of her reach, but didn’t she want it? It was the highest honor in the scientific community, and no scientist would say, “I don’t want to win the Nobel Prize.”

"I can't get it." Wen Song smiled, "Andrea Ghez won the Nobel Prize in Physics because she discovered the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, and Wilhelm R?ntgen won it for discovering X-rays.

So if I want to win the prize, I have to find and confirm that the boundary of the solar system is the Oort cloud, or provide practical evidence for the theory of solar system formation. I can't do either of these two things."

"Maybe something else will do."

Cheng Che looked at her with confidence and expectation in his eyes. "Baby, I'm not putting pressure on you to win the Nobel Prize, but you have the ability to do so. When you won the Gruber Prize, you said that you would continue to contribute to the development of astrophysics, and you hoped that more women would shine in the field of physics in the future. So, why can't you become the first Asian woman to win the Nobel Prize in Physics?"

The first Asian woman to win the Nobel Prize in Physics, this has always been Wen Song's long-cherished wish. But because it was too far away and the process was too difficult, she never said it out loud, and even never thought about it. She didn't expect that Cheng Che actually discovered this.

She smiled and said, "I don't know, but maybe I can try. But I won't sacrifice my rest time to do research, I'm lazy. The Nobel Prize is too difficult, I'll get the Breakthrough Prize and the Kavli Prize first."

Cheng Che also smiled, looked at her and nodded, and said confidently: "Of course, this is a very simple thing for you."
