If calculated in more precise minutes and seconds, the two skating times were 45.62 seconds and 43.69 seconds respectively, with a total score of 1 minute 29 seconds 31.
This is the process in which the Beijing Winter Olympics really belongs to Gong Naiying, and it is also the result of her preparations for the past four years.
At the end of her game, Gong Naiying's score was still in the promotion area. She and the coach stood on the sidelines and watched the dynamic list of results displayed on the screen. 14, 15, 16... The miracle did not appear, the ending The dust has settled.
In the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, Gong Naiying, who was under 20 years old, stood on the field of the Winter Olympics for the first time, but because of her abnormal performance, she finally only ranked 26th and missed the final.
In order to make up for her regrets, in the past four years, she has gradually grown from a newcomer to the mainstay of the team.
Three years ago, Gong Naiying won the non-Olympic parallel slalom championship at Genting Ski Park and won the first World Cup gold medal in China's snowboard parallel event, achieving a zero breakthrough.
This also made her even more looking forward to creating a new history at the Beijing Winter Olympics.

The 19th place is only 3 positions away from the promotion. Gong Naiying, who came to the mixed mining area, is very calm about the result. She said that although the results are not very satisfactory, she has done her best.
There are reports and comments that Gong Naiying is not outstanding in terms of physical fitness, but with her diligence and hard work, she has been creating the history of parallel slalom and parallel giant slalom in China.
For example, affected by the epidemic, the national training team for the parallel giant slalom snowboard did not participate in the competition for about a season and a half, and missed 11 World Cup qualifying matches.
However, Gong Naiying still won the eighth place in the World Cup under limited conditions, which is also the best result achieved by the Chinese parallel giant slalom team this season.
Continuous breakthroughs come from the most sincere love.

"Whether in the fitness room, training hall, or skiing, I feel happy and excited. I love this sport very much, and I don't feel bored in training every day." However, competing with the world's top players also makes Miyano Ying felt her own gap. "Through the competition, I found that compared with other international players, I have a lot of room for improvement in terms of physical fitness and technology."
She said she will make up for it in the next Olympic cycle.
In just one hour, the memory of the Beijing Winter Olympics belonging to Gong Naiying came to an end.
And when she walked out of the arena with her snowboard in her arms, another four years of perseverance and hard work were starting from her feet.
