Chapter 72 Rock Climbing
Rock climbing, as an extreme sport favored by young people, has a history of more than 200 years, but it is mainly popular in parts of Europe and the United States. It was not until 2 years ago that it became an official event of the Olympic Games for the first time. Rock climbing was not an event in the previous Asian Games. This year is the first time.
For China, in 1987, the Mountaineering Association sent athletes to Japan to study, which was regarded as a sign that rock climbing was introduced to China. In the Japanese Olympic Games two years ago, in the women's rock climbing event, Japanese female athletes won second and third place. In the original time and space where Xia Haoyang is, Lim Yoona, the face of the famous South Korean girl group Girls' Generation, filmed a wonderful comedy disaster film "Extreme Escape" in 2, and the male and female protagonists of this film are both interested in rock climbing. By.
Moreover, Alberto, a young man from the Iberian Peninsula who was the first Olympic rock climbing champion two years ago, became famous on the Internet with his good looks and has countless fans around the world because of his handsome appearance. And our little baby Li Mei Ni is also pretty, quiet, cute and charming, especially her sunny smile, which is like an angel and seems to be able to heal the hearts of others. The three of them, including Xia Haoyang, loved Li Meini from the bottom of their hearts when they first saw her in the distance. They waved their cheering sticks and cheered.
In the introduction by Ms. Sun in the front row, 14-year-old Li Meini has won more than 80 domestic championships in various competitions. She was selected for the national youth team a few years ago. Despite her young age, she is already considered a top player. He is a "veteran" of the national team and is China's most likely gold medal winner in this Asian Games. This information shocked Xia Haoyang and the other two people. They originally thought that since they were only 14 years old and were children of a wealthy family, they would probably just play for fun and participate more, but they didn't expect to see such a thin, sweet and cute little girl. The strength is actually so tyrannical.
The game started. After passing through several other players, it was Li Meini's turn to take the stage, and the audience suddenly burst into loud cheers.
Everyone looked nervously at the cute little Li Meini. As Sun Na said, the 14-year-old Li Meini was calm and unusually calm among her peers. She took a deep breath and didn't care about the noise in the audience. She wiped her hands in the bag behind her body. Apply magnesium powder and start climbing.
"Xia Haoyang, what's the powder on that little sister's hands?" Tang Wanqi, who was sitting next to her, asked.
"I don't know, but it should be used to prevent slipping when climbing. It is also the first time for Xia Haoyang to watch rock climbing, so he doesn't know much about it.
"I remember I used to put on a kind of talc powder when I played billiards, but it seemed to be smoother after using it. It's different from her powder, right?" Tang Wanqi asked stupidly.
"The one Xiao Nini uses is called magnesium powder. It works correctly. It's mainly used to prevent your hands from slipping due to sweating. It's not the same thing as the thing you use to play billiards." Miss Sun didn't look back, but after hearing this Chatting in the platoon and giving pointers.
"Mr. Sun is indeed well-informed." Xia Haoyang complimented.
"Oh, a man's mouth." Sun Na expressed disdain.
Unfortunately, we didn’t climb up for too long. When it was shown that it was the second slope, Li Meini accidentally fell down. The entire audience sighed with regret, and then applauded and encouraged. But Li Meini didn't pay too much attention to it. Instead, she smiled, stuck out her tongue, and then took a deep breath. Her expression became resolute and serious, and she climbed up again.
The climb went much smoother this time. You can see her climbing up step by step at her own pace. She would take a short break every time she climbed a block and reapply magnesium powder every three to four blocks. She will also hang the safety rope to a higher place again. You can feel that 14-year-old Li Meini is immersed in her own climbing world. The whole process was very exciting for the people in the audience. They were worried about her falling, worried about wasting time, and worried that some of the rock walls were at too tricky angles for a 14-year-old girl to reach. Anyway, they were just bystanders. Worrying, while Li Mei Ni is calm and natural on the rock climbing wall.
I don’t know how dangerous and exciting it will be if I participate in it, but every movement of Li Meini is so relaxed and natural, and it seems that she doesn’t need to put in much effort. She can climb up with just a few simple dodges and moves. Without too many thrills or accidents, Li Meini climbed to the highest point, patted the top rock with her hand, and slipped off the safety rope with a smile.
Even if you don’t know the rules of the game, you should know that Li Meini completed the entire climbing process. Then there was warm applause.
Li Meini took off her equipment and gave a high-five to the next player, a -year-old girl from Bashu, China. Then she waved to the enthusiastic audience and walked to the coach to sit down and wait for the scores to be announced. The whole process was calm and calm, not like a fourteen-year-old child anyway.
"So energetic, so calm. Well done to Li Meini." It wasn't just Xia Haoyang who was praising her. In fact, the cheering group was very lively, with whistles and screams going on. The people who came to the stadium today were all young people, but it was said that Linhai Many elders of the Qu family, including Li Meini's grandparents, were watching the live TV broadcast in the family hotel closest to the venue. They did not come to the scene because they did not want to attract too much attention.
"Rock climbing is fun, Fatty Boss. Can I also find a club to rock climbing after I return to Yancheng?" Because Qin Jiali in the group always likes to call Xia Haoyang the bad guy Fatty Boss, and except for Zeng Jingyi and Shao Minzhi, who usually call them senior brothers, Several other people are now also called Fatty Boss. Anyway, Xia Haoyang doesn't mind what others call him.
"Okay, you can just tell Jingyi or Juzi about this. As long as it's safe, you can play if you like it." It's rare to see little Mengyan interested in a sport, so Xia Haoyang certainly supports her.
"That's great." Jiang Mengyan really liked this kind of sport.
The -year-old Chinese girl who came on the stage next to Li Mei-ni also completed her moves perfectly. Not only did she not make any mistakes, but she also took less time than Li Mei-ni.
"She is also a little girl whose smile is very healing." Xia Haoyang burst into admiration while applauding.
"It seems that Mr. Xia likes girls who laugh very much." After hearing this, Miss Sun in the front row turned around and interjected.
"I once heard a saying: It is not the sunshine that makes the world bright, but the smiles of girls. I personally agree with this sentence very much." Xia Hao said with a hint.
"Do you think girls who love to laugh are generally stronger or more fragile?" Sun Na asked a question.
"Well, generally speaking, people who love to laugh should be more cheerful." Xia Haoqi, the second brother sitting next to him, replied.
"But Coco, who passed away some time ago, was also a person who loved to laugh. I didn't expect depression..." Tang Wanqi also participated in this topic.
"Yes, some people leave their smiles to the audience, but bear the pain of life themselves. These people use smiles as a cover up to cover up their fragile hearts, but there are also some people who are truly cheerful and strong and use their smiles to Actively adapt to your own life." Sister-in-law Kuang Yurou also felt this.
"Sister-in-law said it well, I like a smile that comes from the heart, and I also like girls who greet life with a smile every day." Xia Haoyang said with the same feeling.
"This sentence is just a fart. Which girl doesn't want to greet life with a smile, but the problem is that if all the people you meet in life are scumbags and scumbags, how can you make us women laugh?" Ju, who was sitting not far away. Zi couldn't help but speak.
"Sister Juzi is mighty." Xiao Mengyan praised Juzi for checking in, and Tang Wanqi also nodded desperately.
Xia Haoyang looked around and said innocently: "Master Juzi, aren't you calling me a scumbag?"
"I didn't talk about you. What you admitted yourself has nothing to do with me." Juzi glanced at Zhao Yishen sitting next to him and stopped talking.
Several people sitting nearby laughed out loud.
