Gu Ailing, also     1    (know) as Eileen Gu, finished     2    (five) in the preliminary round on Monday to advance to the final. Some sports commentators played down expectations by saying the Freeski Big Air is not Gu’s strongest hand.

Gu’s performance was steady and     3    (fault) in the first two runs, giving her a good score for a podium finish.

Due to the sensitivity about     5     (switch) nationality and lack of attention on winter sports, Gu did not attract much enthusiasm in the first place.

More and more people become familiar     7     Gu, a girl who loves to eat dumplings and Peking roast duck,     8    (particular) when they found out that Gu’s Putonghua with a Beijing accent is t4more standard than their own.   And no one in China doubted     9    (she) from a patriotic standpoint. Some have noticed that there's     10     "Chinese dragon" on Gu's sportswear to win the gold medal.

On March 12, 2022, the Chinese women’s soccer team summoned (召唤) all of their     1     (determine) and skills and finally won the game,     2    (end) a 16-year wait to carry off the Asian Cup. “We never let our heads drop when we lagged behind by 0 — 2.

The Steel Roses’ victory completely dominated discussions on Chinese social media. A survey revealed that the topic “Chinese women’s team wins Asian Cup”     4     (view) billions of times. However, that was just one of 10 heated topics     5     (relate) to the women’s team on Weibo.     6     (count) thrilled people commented that “The whole team is worthy of every praise.” After their victory, media and experts     7     (urge) for greater support for the development of the women’s game. Up to now, a number of Chinese companies have taken actions to reward them     8     a dairy giant Mengniu Group gifting the team 10 million yuan.

Now the work is to continue to revive (复兴) past glories, as well as improve     9     standard of the domestic youth training to give the country a better chance of producing more great players.

Gu was born in the U. S. to a Chinese mother and American father. Since 2019, Gu     6     (compete) under the Chinese flag. However, she receives     7     (criticize) on the U. S. social media that her decision to represent China is driven by commercial benefits from the host nation.

Gu wrote on Instagram, “The opportunity to inspire millions     8     young people where my mom was born during the 2022 Beijing Olympic Winter Games     9     (be) a once-in-a-lifetime chance to promote the sport I love.” She greatly encourages girls     10     (interest) in winter sports to push the boundaries as much as they can.

With Eileen Gu     1     (win) the gold medal in the women’s freestyle skiing big air competition at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games, one of the     2     (factor) that has drawn     3    (globe) attention is her education.

Now, many parents in China owe Eileen Gu’s success     5     her mom. But parents trying to turn their children into another Eileen Gu may be disappointed to find the cut-and-paste function does not work in real life. We should acknowledge that economic status plays     6     important role in a person’s development. Sports take a lot    7     (much) than a pen and some paper. Young athletes take private lessons, buy equipment, and pay entry fees to compete in tournaments. All add up and become costly. Yet all of these are nothing     8     (compare) with skiing. Eileen was fortunate to have all the stars in the direction of her success. For many Chinese parents,     9     they often fail to realize is that financial, academic and social resources     10     (need) to ensure their children achieve success.

With this victory, Hanyu thus secured his ticket to Beijing. This was the first time that he     2     (appear) in a competition after an injury had forced him to withdraw from the World Figure Skating Team Championships in April of last year.

As a two-time Olympic figure skating gold medalist, the 27-year-old is no longer considered young for an athlete of his status,     3     he has nonetheless been working hard to live up to the measure of his own goals.     4     (return) from injury, he showed us again why he was considered to be one of the greatest men’s skaters in the history of the sport.

During the competition, Hanyu’s first attempt at performance a 4A jump -- the most difficult jump in figure skating -saw both of his feet     5     (hit) the ice. Despite some small mistakes in his performance, it was the brief moment of weakness     6     (show) in his landing leg that might have finally contributed to his failure to land the jump successfully. In a post-competition interview, Hanyu said it was his long-time goal to successfully execute a 4A jump and that he had done his best to do so this time around.     7     he was unable to perfectly land his 4A jump, this was indeed the first 4A jump in the sport’s history     8     (attempt) in a figure skating competition.

Hanyu said after the competition that he had felt a lot like     9     (cry) before his warm-up session. As he put it, “I don’t know how many more times I can continue to see this kind of scene. All the hard work I’ve done up to this point and all the different memories I’ve accumulated, suddenly overwhelmed me.” Nothing can embody (体现) the Olympic spirit more than a figure skating veteran (老将) still striving to achieve his dreams regardless of a career that has already established him     10     nothing short of a legend in his sport.

During the race, Wang, from Northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province,     8    (bare) sat down. She jumped up and down, waved her arms and cheered for the Chinese team. Her comment quickly became a catchphrase on Chinese social media,     9    (help) the 37-year-old attract even more fans.

She encouraged each team member and called them by their nicknames,     10     led to her receiving countless thumbs-ups and laughs on Migu.
