  "I can't sleep through the night, it feels like I'm in a dream." Zhao Shanshan said emotionally on the 17th, recalling the night when her husband Qi Guangpu made history to win gold.

  On the evening of the 16th, in the men's aerial skills final of freestyle skiing at the Beijing Winter Olympics, Qi Guangpu, the "veteran of the four dynasties" of the Winter Olympics, won the gold medal in a shocking jump, achieving the "Grand Slam" of his sports career.

  Before this Winter Olympics, Qi Guangpu's sports career was brilliant enough.

Qi Guangpu, who was born in Xuzhou, Jiangsu, was selected to the Changchun Freestyle Skiing Aerial Team in 2000. He has won the World Cup twice and the World Championship twice.

The fly in the ointment is that the three previous trips to the Winter Olympics have all missed medals.

In Zhao Shanshan's view, his luck was really bad.

  Zhao Shanshan and Qi Guangpu became attached to this project, and the two also fought side by side in the national team.

She said that Qi Guangpu's 5.0-difficulty moves were already mature at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, but he didn't get into the finals and had no chance to show it.

On the evening of February 10, Qi Guangpu participated in the mixed team competition of freestyle skiing aerial skills. His father (first from right) and wife (third from right) cheered him on.

  On the evening of the 16th, when Qi Guangpu completed this set of moves in the final, Zhao Shanshan could not restrain her tears of excitement.

"That was the first time he completed this action in the Winter Olympics." The reason why Qi Guangpu is called the "King of Difficulty" is because of this action.

  "The moment he won the championship, I felt that all my emotions were released. There is joy and distress here." Zhao Shanshan said.

  Before the game, Zhao Shanshan wrote a letter to her "Mr. Qi", recalling the past of the two with affection.

In 2016, they entered the marriage hall and now have a daughter who is almost 3 years old.

After the game, when a reporter asked about the letter, Qi Guangpu said he didn't know.

  At midnight, Zhao Shanshan received a video from Qi Guangpu.

"He didn't say anything, just smiled silly." Zhao Shanshan couldn't help but ask him how he felt after reading the family letter, he just said "very touched".

"I know him too well, no more than five words."

  Qi Guangpu has an introverted personality and is not good at talking, but he is very careful.

Once, Zhao Shanshan sent him a photo of her daughter.

After a while, he asked his daughter why the calf was blue.

"I didn't find it. To see it clearly, I had to magnify the picture many times." She said that in many small things, Qi Guangpu can give her a sense of security.

  Zhao Shanshan said that the youngest daughter still couldn't understand the game, but seeing the whole family was happy, she was also interested, clamoring for her father's "ice piercing".

  With more than 20 years of sports career, Qi Guangpu dedicated his best youth to freestyle skiing.

Now, will Qi Guangpu, who has completed the "Grand Slam", succeed and retire?

Zhao Shanshan said that it may be because she has also been an athlete, and she will always put the country's needs first in her heart. "I support everything he decides."
