In 2024 at the Paris summer Olympic Games Anthony Harding took the bronze medal alongside his partner Jack Laugher in the 3m springboard synchronised diving event. Anthony's international career was kickstarted at the 2018 Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aries where he won the individual silver medal and has since been on the podium seven times at major championships. He started diving at the age of six and moved to Leeds at the age of just sixteen to pursue his Olympic aspirations. Gymnastics plays a key role in the sport of diving and for seven years Anthony worked with a former team mate of mine and European champion Ruslan Panteleymonov who sadly passed away in 2022. British diving achieved their best ever medal total in Paris and Anthony was a big part of that success. He has hopes of competing as an individual alongside the synchronised events moving forwards and heading into in LA 2028. And this is his story.
Once upon a time, way back in 2020, we thought of rowing in a very particular way: flat water, racing shells, and seeking the perfect stroke. As coastal rowing and beach sprints has gained some traction here in the U.S., we've broadened our understanding and definition of rowing to bring these disciplines into the conversation, too. On balance, coastal has probably tipped the scales of our conversation in 2024 as we trained for and participated in Race Around the Rock a coastal circumnavigation of Salt Spring Island in British Columbia. If you're a tried and true flat water rower, thanks for exploring these new ideas about rowing right along with us! In case you missed it, the 2024 World Rowing Beach Sprint Finals were held September 13-15 in Genoa, Italy and Team USA brought home 3 Gold and 1 Silver medal. Joining us to talk about the rise of coastal rowing and beach sprints are Team USA head coach Marc Oria, and rower Pearl Outlaw, a member of the first ever pararowing women's quad.

In 2021 at the Tokyo Olympic Games Amelie Morgan made history alongside her team mates by winning the first women's team medal in 93 years. She had an outstanding junior career taking five medals at the 2018 junior European championships and three medals at the Youth Olympic Games in Buenos Aires. Amelie home schooled as a teenager in order to maintain her 35 hour a week training schedule. Balancing her education alongside her gymnastics eventually led to her accepting a full sports scholarship to study and compete for the university of Utah in 2021. In the past week she has announced her retirement from elite gymnastics and subsequently withdrawing herself from the Paris 2024 Olympic selection process. And this is her story.
On the most recent episode of the Royals Roundup Podcast, we were joined by blueliner Keaton Verhoeff. The 15-year-old from Fort Saskatchewan, AB, had a year to remember: drafted fourth overall in the 2023 WHL Prospects Draft, participating in his first WHL Training Camp, first WHL Game on December 2nd against the Seattle Thunderbirds, a standout season with RINK Hockey Academy Kelowna U18, representing Canada at the 2024 Youth Olympic Games in Gangwon, South Korea while wearing an "A", registering his first WHL Point on March 2nd against the Portland Winterhawks, and playing WHL Playoffs games for the Royals. We chatted about all of this and much more on episode #19!

Senegalese surfers raise doubts about the future of surfing in Africa amidst no qualifiers for the Paris Olympics 2024, low funding, and out-of-reach visas. Instead of training in the waves of his Senegal homeland, Chérif Fall wistfully preferred to be in Puerto Rico, where the last surfing qualifying competition for the Paris Olympics ended on March 2. Senegal had nobody there to try and claim the last 14 spots for men and women. Senegal is on the westernmost tip of Africa on the Atlantic Ocean, and surfing is part of daily life for many, with easy access to good waves including in the capital, Dakar. Yet, once athletes reach a certain level, it's hard to go further. Travel to compete abroad is expensive, visas can be hard to secure, and there is little government investment, say those in the sport. Even with financial backing from a huge sponsor, 27-year-old Fall still can't afford proper coaching and doesn't enter enough competitions to earn points to help his global ranking. Surfers and coaches in Senegal say the athletes have immense potential but the sport needs more investment in training facilities, equipment, and coaching. To compete on the world stage, the surfers say they need the basics such as a daily training environment with a knowledgeable coach and quality equipment. Souley Mbengué, the Secretary-General of the Senegalese Surf Federation, said they were going to “rise to the challenges of 2026, the Youth Olympic Games to be held in Senegal. [...] We have put in place a program based on training, and above all what will enable us to perform well when the time comes.” In an attempt to get surfers on the continent more visibility, for the first time, the African Surfing Federation is launching a surf tour. Starting in April, there will be six competitions beginning in Ghana and ending in Senegal in December. Oumar Seye, the African Surfing Federation President who's spearheading the initiative, says it's a chance for athletes to make money, find sponsors, and get valuable ranking points. He adds sponsors in Europe and Africa have expressed interest in funding the event. This article was provided by The Associated Press.
Imagine being 17 or 18 years old and traveling the world, living your life out of a duffel bag while pursuing the sport you love. That's the life of Alaskan Elias Soule and Utah native Emily Caldwell. Elias and Emily are two of the top U.S. Biathlon junior athletes, rising up out of outstanding club programs and now taking their skills on the road. Heartbeat caught up with them at the IBU Junior World Championships in Estonia, just weeks after competing in the Youth Olympic Games in South Korea.Soule, now 17, grew up in Anchorage, discovering biathlon around age 10. He was able to grow his skills through both the Alaska Winter Stars and Anchorage Biathlon Club programs, skiing in the shadows of role models like Gus Schumacher, who recently won a FIS Cross Country World Cup in Minneapolis. He competed in 2023 at the IBU Youth World Championships in Kazhakstan and this February at the IBU Junior World Championships in Estonia, as well as the Youth Olympic Games in Korea.Campbell, who just turned 18, had many sport opportunities growing up in Park City, and she tried them all. She started in alpine skiing before moving to cross country with the Park City Nordic Club. Then she found biathlon and now trains with the program at Soldier Hollow. Like Soule, she made her international debut a year ago in Kazakhstan, this year competing at the Youth Olympic Games and IBU Junior World Championships.This episode of Heartbeat comes to you on the eve of the IBU Junior World Championships in Estonia as Elias and Emily recap their adventures on the road and look ahead, with each of their careers on a different pathway for the future.
It's two years until the next Winter Olympics at Milan-Cortina in 2026, so we are in a winter sports mood! Milan-Cortina's slidingnovela (where the sliding events will take place) has us curious about bobsled, so Australian bobsledder (bobsleigher?) Breeana Walker joins us to talk monobob. Bree competed at Beijing 2022 in both the two-woman and the monobob, placing 16th and 5th respectively. We've wanted to talk about monobob for a while, and Bree sheds some light on the sport for us, including body weight differences between the two events, why you need different sets of runners, and why they call it the lonely sport. Plus, we get into the costs of sleds and runners--you'll be shocked at how much they can cost. Follow Bree on social @bobsledbree, and check out her YouTube channel and website. Because it's two years until the next Winter Games, there is a bunch of news from Milan-Cortina, not all of it rosy. The good news: The NHL is back in the Olympics! They've come to an agreement to have pro players compete at 2026 and 2030, and we are here for it! The not-so-good news: The sliding track is one construction project we've been focused on, but there are more construction issues happening that could affect other sports and where some athletes sleep. In Paris 2024 news, French police are investigating the way Paris 2024 CEO Tony Estanguet is paid and whether that is skirting French law in the wrong way. Final spectator numbers for the Opening Ceremony have been announced--and they're quite a bit lower than originally planned. Pride House is looking for volunteers, both in-person and remotely. Find more information here. Tickets for Team NL house are on sale--and it's a pretty good deal! Find them here. Following up from our Youth Olympic Games coverage, the IOC will announce the next Winter YOG host next year. In news from TKFLASTAN, we hear from: Artistic swimmer Jacqueline Simoneau Curler John Shuster Shooter Kim Rhode The Big O (or Owe) Author Andrew Maraniss--register for his March 5 book launch at Parnassus Books in Nashville here.

The Winter Youth Olympic Games 2024 has come to a close and the digital flame has been turned off. We run through the second week of competition, including feed beefs (or a lack thereof) and results from: Alpine Skiing Biathlon Cross-Country Skiing Curling Figure Skating Freestyle Skiing Ice Hockey - including why USA and Canada did not field women's teams in these Games Nordic Combined Short Track Speed Skating - the mixed relay was a lot of fun! Snowboard Speed Skating Closing Ceremony It's been a big news week for the Olympics! First off, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) released its ruling on the Kamila Valieva doping situation from the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, which only took 721 days. Valieva will face a four-year ban effective on the date of the doping, December 25, 2021. That ruling changes the results of the team figure skating competition from Beijing 2022, and the International Skating Union decided that USA would get moved up to gold, Japan up to silver....and Russia would drop down to bronze. We explain how the ISU's decision is possible--and who's not happy because of it. Paris 2024 announced that it will have random ticket drops until the Games begin in order to sell out its remaining 1+ million ticket inventory. The end of January brought decision-day for whether the Milan-Cortina 2026 Organizing Committee would commit to building a new sliding track (not IOC-recommended), or if they would put the sliding competitions at a track outside of Italy (IOC-recommended). Guess what they chose? Our slidingnovela lives on!! In our visit to TKFLASTAN, we have news from: Curler John Shuster Speed skater Erin Jackson Race walker Evan Dunfee Nordic combined athlete Annika Malacinski Artistic swimmer Jacqueline Simoneau Listener David Also, we unravel a mystery connected with our opening theme--be sure to check that out!

On the latest episode of The Buildup, Ted enjoys the win streak, looks ahead to Buffalo, and chats with Joe Bonnett, the Head Coach of Team USA competing at the 2024 Youth Olympic Games in South Korea.
The Olympics always has test events to make sure the venues are in working order and everything is ready to go for the Games. We've got one too--and that's the Winter Youth Olympic Games (YOG) that are taking place in Gangwon, South Korea (and using many venues from PyeongChang 2018!). Alison has wholeheartedly jumped back into double screening, and her maternal vibe is really coming out for these kids. Jill? Well, she has thoughts about the YOG and is still working through them. On this episode, we cover Days 1-4, including: What officiating/volunteer job would we want Feed beefs -- of which there are many, even though we understand that the YOG are a smaller event A fantastic Opening Ceremony Another great Korean mascot Alpine Skiing Biathlon Bobsled Curling Freestyle Skiing Ice Hockey Luge Short Track Speed Skating Speed Skating Skeleton Ski Jumping Snowboard Plus, Milan-Cortina 2026 delivers another episode in our slidingnovela. Will Italy attempt to build a new sliding track that will be ready to go for the 2026 Olympics and have a legacy plan that's better than what happened to the track built for Torino 2006 (that is no longer operational)? And World Games: Chengdu 2025 has an opportunity for budding graphic designers. Enter their logo, mascot, and slogan contest! The deadline is February 28, 2024, and you can find more details here.

Therefore, we will publish episodes only once a month. Thanks for listening and all the best in your coaching!
Sports marketing and sponsorship expert Terrence Burns is back to discuss how sports marketers don't get the Olympic brand. Terrence is the Owner, Chairman & CEO of T. Burns Sports Group, LLC, which does sports marketing, sponsorship sales/negotiation/strategy, bidding advisory services, and brand & communications development. Terrence has a wealth of knowledge about the world of the Olympics -- check out his blog for some good behind-the-scenes stories of Olympic bids past. He's also a good follow on X and LinkedIn. In Paris 2024 news (timely, given our show topic), the International Olympic Committee--and Team USA--have a new sponsor in the form of InBev. This mark's the IOC's first beer sponsor....and as you may recall, Paris 2024 will not be selling alcohol in any stadium. Never fear though, because Corona Cero is here! The French kit has arrived! Check it out here and see if you agree with our take on it. The post-Games plans to sell some of the Athletes' Village apartments are not going well--we have the latest on how low the prices are going. The Youth Olympic Games in Gangwon is starting up this week, and one of its innovations is a digital flame. Jill's thoughts on it turn out to be fightin' words in Alison's world.

Idaho is known for producing world-class biathletes, from Boise native Sara Studebaker-Hall, who competed in two Olympics, to Lyle Nelson of McCall, who competed four times in the Olympic Biathlon. Now, a new generation is breaking records.
If the recent U.S. Biathlon Trials event at Mt. Itasca Winter Sports Center is any indicator, athlete development is on the upswing. Record numbers of athletes were on hand seeking to qualify for major youth and junior events. In this episode of Heartbeat, U.S. Biathlon's Director of Athlete Development Tim Burke, talks about sustained competitive excellence as the objective of U.S. Biathlon's strategic plan and the progress that's being made.Burke, a longtime athlete who won silver at the World Championships in 2013, is part of a strong athletic program at U.S. Biathlon. He works alongside Director of Sport Development John Farra and a longtime biathlete now managing high-performance, Lowell Bailey. The three all have roots growing up in Lake Placid and competing at the highest level. Now Burke is finding gratification in helping nurture the next generation to success.At Mt. Itasca in late December, 80 athletes showed up to race – a bump of 45% from previous years. Notably, too, the field included a record 31 women - a big focus for U.S. Biathlon.The trials offered athletes an opportunity to vie for spots on a wide range of international teams, most notably the Youth Olympic Games in South Korea and the IBU's Youth and Junior World Championships in Estonia.This episode of Heartbeat takes you into the heart of athlete development, representing the next generation of biathletes who will represent Team USA in the coming years.Tim, how do you describe your role with U.S. Biathlon?My title is the director of athlete development. However, we're a very small organization, so titles are one thing, but all of us do a little bit of everything. I work very closely with Lowell in high performance and with John Farra in sport development. But my main role is kind of working in the middle of the U.S. Biathlon pipeline – really focusing on those athletes in the middle of our pipeline who are coming up, ensuring that they have the opportunities and what they need to succeed in this part of their career so they can make a smooth transition into the senior circuit.How does your role fit into U.S. Biathlon's strategic plan?Our plan of sustained competitive excellence. So what does that mean? That means taking us from an organization that has occasionally had some success for sure, that we're all very proud of, but we want to have that more consistently. And to have that more consistently, we need to be more professional. We need more athletes in our pipeline, and ultimately, we need to be able to field teams on the World Cup, at World Championships, at the Olympics, where we can field a full team of athletes who are capable of stepping onto that podium. If we can do that, we will finally win that elusive Olympic medal. But it all starts at the bottom. It all starts with grassroots. It all starts at our clubs. It all starts down there building those numbers so that we have the athletes, enough athletes coming through our pipeline that can rise to the top.What differences do you see in athlete development today versus a few years ago?One of the biggest differences right now, as compared to when I came through the pipeline, is we're seeing a lot more of these crossover nordic athletes transitioning into biathlon. And it's not only true for our country, but it's true for others as well. You've seen other countries have a lot of success, like Sweden, like Germany, like Slovenia right now. And we want to be a part of that, and we have been a part of that. If you look at our national team right now, if you look at the World Cup that just happened this morning, many of those athletes racing for us, racing in that US uniform, are athletes that came over from cross country at a pretty late age. A lot of them came after they finished college. You know, they were successful collegiate skiers and they wanted to try something different. And we tried to provide those opportunities for them in biathlon. And that's one thing that we are continuing to really focus on and even double down on. Here at U.S. Biathlon is making sure that we have a really [00:06:00] well-developed pathway for these talented nordic skiers who want to give biathlon a chance.How important are venues like Mt. Itasca?Mt. Itasca is definitely an important venue for us. They've hosted a lot of trials events for us in the past, and we've also seen a ton of athletes from Mt. Itasca, from the Minnesota area, come on to our national teams and Olympic teams in the past. I certainly think that's something we're going to continue to see in the future.You qualified a team of three men, three women to Youth Olympic Games. What do you want to see for them in South Korea?My goal for those athletes, the biggest takeaway I want them to have from there, is I want them to leave there just incredibly motivated to continue pursuing biathlon at a high level. I'm sure they will have that experience in Korea. You know, to be there at an event that's not only drawing the best athletes your age in the world for your sport, but to be there at an event where you have athletes from all different disciplines from all over the world is incredibly, incredibly motivating for these athletes. I'm super excited for them to have this experience.Do you remember your first international trip?Absolutely! I remember my first international trip was to Torsby, Sweden. It was a Scandinavian Cup at the time. I remember being incredibly nervous. But again, getting over there, having a having an amazing time, and coming back motivated and really hungry for more.You had a record women's field at Mt. Itasca, which has been an organizational goal, right?Expanding the number of women in sport is definitely a big goal of ours. At U.S. Biathlon, it was great to see a record number for us in Mount Itasca. We had 31 women competing, and really nice to see some fantastic up-and-coming athletes who I wasn't really familiar with before this trials event – to see them coming up through the system and doing really well. And again, back to the competitiveness of those races, that women's race for those last team spots, for all of the team spots, really, it was tight. It really came down to the last race, and it could have gone to a lot of different women. That was just really, really cool and inspiring for me and everyone at U.S. Biathlon to see.What gives you the most satisfaction now as an athlete leader?Oh, that's a great question and a really tough one. It depends on the day, os I think what my answer would be. But since this one is really fresh in mind, since we just finished up with team naming, I'll give you this. It was so fun to call those athletes who qualified for our teams and chat with them and let them know that their hard work paid off and that they would be headed out soon on an international trip. Hearing that excitement in their voices was really, really inspiring for me to hear. And those are the calls, you love to make.

凯莉持续创佳绩|Kelly Keeps Crushin' ItThe list of "firsts" Kelly Sildaru has next to her name continues to grow after she secured bronze on Tuesday at the Beijing Winter Games, becoming the first Estonian athlete to win an Olympic medal in freestyle skiing.本周二，凯丽·希尔达鲁获得了北京冬奥会自由式滑雪女子坡面障碍技巧比赛铜牌，成为首位在自由式滑雪项目上获得奥运奖牌的爱沙尼亚运动员，其“第一”的履历又添新笔。Born in 2002, she has also become the youngest Olympic medalist from Estonia in either the summer or winter edition of the Games.希尔达鲁生于2002年，她同时是爱沙尼亚冬奥会和夏奥会最年轻的奖牌获得者。 Wearing a black snow jacket and maroon pants, Sildaru stood out against the brilliant white course during Tuesday's final. With her signature long, blonde hair flowing out from her black helmet, the 19-year-old made one last check on her skis and poles before taking a deep breath and setting off on her run.在周二的决赛中，希尔达鲁身穿黑色雪地夹克和栗色长裤，在亮白的滑雪场上格外惹人注目。这位19岁女孩标志性的金色长发从她黑色的头盔下飘出。在完成对滑雪板和滑雪杆的最后一次检查后，希尔达鲁深吸一口气，开始投入比赛。The Estonian flagbearer was the last among all 12 athletes to set off in the final after she received the highest score (86.15) during qualification.这位爱沙尼亚选手在资格赛中获得最高分（86.15分）。决赛场上，希尔达鲁在12名运动员中最后出发。She finished her first run with a 900-degree rotation and a tailgrab (grabbing the back of the skis).她以900度旋转和后手抓板动作完成了第一跳。Her impressive moves and perfect landing gave her a score of 82.06, enabling her to nail a medal despite mistakes in the second run and a low-scoring third.希尔达鲁凭借令人印象深刻的动作和完美的落地拿下82.06分。尽管第二跳有失误，第三跳得分较低，希尔达鲁还是赢得了一枚奖牌。 Switzerland's Mathilde Gremaud won gold and China's Gu Ailing secured silver.瑞士选手玛蒂尔德·格雷莫德获得金牌，中国选手谷爱凌获得银牌。"My first run was pretty much like a safe run. That run brought me bronze. I mean I'm happy about it, but it would have been better when I could have put down a better run," she said post-race.赛后希尔达鲁说：“我的第一跳是用来保底的，那一跳让我能摘下铜牌。对此我很高兴，但如果我能发挥得更好的话就更棒了。”Although the failure in the second run blocked her path to the gold medal, Sildaru is still enjoying herself at her first Olympics.虽然第二跳的失败断送了她的夺金之路，但希尔达鲁仍然很享受她的冬奥首秀。"When I'm skiing, I'm just going to do my best. So I just need to enjoy myself and I'm not trying to focus too much on the medals or on the podium or stuff like that. It's more about my skiing."“当我滑雪的时候，我会尽我最大的努力，我只需要享受当下。我不想把太多精力放在奖牌啊、领奖台啊之类的事情上。我只把参加冬奥会当作是我去滑一场雪而已。”Her passion for skiing and hard work have earned Sildaru a series of titles at a young age.在很小的时候，凭借对滑雪的热爱和刻苦的训练，希尔达鲁就载誉满满。At age 13 in 2016, she became the youngest gold medalist to date at a Winter X Games event, and the first person to win a Winter X Games medal for Estonia. She is also the youngest to win two X Games gold medals.2016年，13岁的希尔达鲁就成为了迄今为止最年轻的世界极限运动会金牌得主，也是第一位赢得世界极限运动会奖牌的爱沙尼亚人。她同时还是最年轻的、赢得了两枚世界极限运动会金牌的运动员。During the Big Air competition of the 2017 Winter X Games Norway, Sildaru became the first woman to ever land a switch 1260-degree mute and a 1440 degree during a competition.在2017年挪威冬季极限运动会的大跳台比赛中，希尔达鲁成为有史以来第一位完成1260度和1440度动作的女运动员。Because of her young age, Sildaru was not allowed to participate in the World Cup until 2017 in New Zealand, where she won the slopestyle competition.由于年龄太小，希尔达鲁直到2017年才获准参加新西兰的世界杯，并获得坡面障碍技巧比赛的冠军。A knee injury denied her a chance to compete at the 2018 Winter Games, but she later recovered and won a gold medal in slopestyle at the 2020 Youth Olympic Games.膝盖受伤使希尔达鲁失去了参加2018年平昌冬奥会的机会，但康复之后，希尔达鲁又在2020年青年奥运会上拿下坡面障碍项目的金牌。"Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines," Sildaru once wrote in a caption to one of her photos on Instagram.希尔达鲁曾在Instagram上晒图并配文称“问题不是绊脚石，而是垫脚石。”What makes Sildaru's achievements even more striking is that she hails from a virtually mountainless nation with an average elevation of around 300 meters.让希尔达鲁的成就更加引人注目的是，她来自一个几乎没有高山、平均海拔约300米的国家。"I'm usually training where I have competitions," she said. "Like maybe just going there two weeks earlier for my training and competitions, or we just stay longer."她说：“我通常在有比赛的地方训练。比如，我可能会提前两周去某个地方参加训练和比赛，或者会在那里待得更久。”Spring in Finland, summer in France, and couple of months in New Zealand－Sildaru admitted she used to struggle between school and skiing: "It was a little hard at first.在芬兰度过春天，在法国度过夏天，再在新西兰待上几个月——希尔达鲁承认她曾在学校和滑雪之间挣扎,“一开始有点难”。"I graduated this spring, so it's been really nice to just focus on skiing," said Sildaru, who will turn 20 on Thursday.本周四是希尔达鲁20岁生日，她说：“今年春天我就毕业了。以后可以一门心思滑雪，真好。”Sildaru will compete in the halfpipe qualification on her birthday, with the aim to make the final which will be held on Friday.希尔达鲁在生日当天参加U型场地技巧资格赛，高分晋级周五即将举行的决赛。maroon英 [məˈruːn]；美[məˈruːn] adj. 紫褐色的；褐红色的n. 褐红色；紫褐色；（海上作为信号的）鞭炮vt. 困住；使无法逃脱podium英 [ˈpəʊdiəm]；美[ˈpoʊdiəm] n. 讲台；讲坛；（乐队的）指挥台；颁奖台hail英 [heɪl]；美[heɪl] n. 冰雹；一阵像冰雹般袭来的事物；雹子般的一阵v. 赞扬（或称颂）；招手（请出租车或公共汽车停下）；跟…打招呼；向…喊；下雹int. 万岁elevation英 [ˌelɪˈveɪʃn]；美[ˌelɪˈveɪʃn] n. 高程；提升；提拔；晋级；（某地方的）高度；（尤指）海拔；高处；（建筑物的）立面（图），立视图;（水平或数量）提高，升高，增加
历史突破！中国选手谷爱凌在北京冬奥会自由式滑雪女子大跳台决赛中夺金牌|China's Gu Ailing Takes Historic Women's Freeski Big Air Gold at Beijing 2022China's prodigy Gu Ailing claimed the historic gold with a 1620 performance she had never done before in the women's freeski big air of the Beijing 2022 Olympic Winter Games at Big Air Shougang here on Tuesday, while Tess Ledeux of France and Mathilde Gremaud of Switzerland took silver and bronze, respectively.本周二，中国天才少女谷爱凌在北京冬奥会自由式滑雪女子大跳台决赛中以其此前从未尝试过的1620高难度动作夺得金牌，创造历史。法国选手泰丝·勒德和瑞士选手玛蒂尔德·格雷莫德分别获得银牌和铜牌。本次决赛于首钢滑雪大跳台举行。 With a combined score of 188.25 points -- 93.75 from her first run and 94.50 from the third, Gu came back strong from the third place before the final run to take the insane gold as the event made its Olympic debut.谷爱凌总分188.25分——第一轮93.75分，第三轮94.50分。在最后一轮比赛前，谷爱凌从第三名强势回归，奇迹般首秀夺金。"That was the best moment of my life," said an excited Gu after the race. "The happiest moment, day, whatever -- of my life. I just cannot believe what just happened."赛后谷爱凌兴奋地说：“这是我生命中最美好的时刻。我生命中最快乐的时刻。无论如何，我简直不敢相信刚刚发生的事情。”"It was a breathtaking competition to see this level of performance," said Thomas Bach, president of the International Olympic Committee, who witnessed the historic moment on site. "Ailing stood for the first time with this [trick]. I can't imagine what must have gone in her head before doing it."国际奥委会主席托马斯·巴赫在现场目睹了这一历史性时刻，他说：“这是一场多么激动人心的比赛！如此高水平的表现！这是谷爱凌第一次做出这样的跳跃，我无法想象她在起跳之前脑海里都发生了什么。” Gu stomped a right-side double cork 1440 with a safety grab to receive 93.75 points, the second-highest score of the first run, behind Ledeux's 94.50 after a stunning 1620 performance -- the most difficult trick in women's big air event so far.第一跳，谷爱凌做出偏轴转体两周1440度动作，拿下第二高分93.75分，暂时落后法国名将泰丝·勒德。勒德做出了迄今为止女子大跳台赛事中最难的偏轴转体两周1620度，获得94.50分。In the second run, Ledeux continued her dominance with a switch left-side 1440 Japan grab of 93.00 points to still lead the rankings.第二跳，勒德挑战倒滑偏轴转体两周1440度成功，拿到93分，强势领先。 Gremaud dropped a switch left-side double cork 1440 with a safety grab to move up to second with a combined score of 182.50, while Gu placed third with a narrow 0.25-point disadvantage after a left-side double cork 1080 safety to Japan trick.格雷莫德凭借一个1440动作，以182.50的总分上升至第二位，而谷爱凌完成了一个1080动作，以0.25分的微弱劣势排名第三。In the last and final run, Gu threw in a left-side double cork 1620 with a safety grab move to become the second female athlete ever to land the trick after Ledeux and received a race-high 94.50 points and jumped to first with a lead of 0.75 points on Ledeux.第三跳，谷爱凌选择了偏轴转体两周1620度的高难度动作并平稳落地，成为继勒德之后第二位完成这一动作的女运动员。谷爱凌获得了94.50的最高分，以0.75分的领先优势反超勒德，跃居第一。"I was guaranteed a podium spot when I dropped in, so I was thinking I was only 0.25 points behind Mathilde, and I was thinking, 'Should I improve on my previous one and go for the sliver or should I whip out this random trick I'd never done before and go for gold?'" Gu commented on her gold medal-winning jump.谷爱凌在回忆她的摘金一跳时说：“第三跳出发前，我只落后玛蒂尔德0.25分，我肯定有机会站上领奖台，我在想，‘如果用1440，那就可以拿到银牌，但我想放个大招——虽然这个大招我从来没有做过，但成功了就可以拿到金牌。'”"In my head, I wanted to represent myself and this competitive style that I really take pride in and that desire to push myself and push the sport," she added.她补充道：“在我的心里，我想展现自我、超越自我，展现我真正引以为傲的体育竞技精神，推动这项体育运动的发展。”As Ledeux failed to improve on her score with a flaw on the landing, Gu took her biggest victory by far following her victories at the Youth Olympic Games in 2020 and the World Cup this season.勒德落地时失误，分数没有提升，谷爱凌因此获胜。这是谷爱凌在2020年洛桑青年冬奥会和本赛季世界杯上折桂后取得的最大胜利。"It is just a dream come true," said Ledeux, who placed first in the World Cup big air event rankings this season. "The level of competition was so strong and I am just so proud to be part of the podium."本赛季世界杯大跳台排名第一的勒德说：“这就是梦想成真。这届冬奥会比赛水平如此之高，能站上领奖台，我就非常自豪了。”"She [Ailing] has killed it today," the French girl added.这位法国女孩补充道：“她（爱凌）今天表现超级好！”Just moments after Ledeux finished her competition, Gu and Gremaud came together to console Ledeux, who lost her Dad this past January.就在勒德完成比赛后不久，谷爱凌和格雷莫德一起前去安慰勒德。今年1月，勒德的父亲不幸去世。"We are going through the emotions at the end," said Gu. "I won because of them, because they had inspired me so much and made me who I am. I just wanted to express my gratitude. We are all out here to do this together."谷爱凌说：“我们三个最后一起感受了这些复杂的情绪。我今天能够获胜，是她们激励了我，成就了我，我很感谢她们。我们一起做到了！”"Lots of respect between these girls," said Gremaud. "Ailing and Tess are really strong and motivating. They are pushing me and I hope to be pushing them."格雷莫德说：“我们三个女孩之间相互尊重。爱凌和苔丝真的很坚强，很给人以动力。他们在激励着我，我也希望能激励他们。”prodigy英 [ˈprɒdədʒi]；美[ˈprɑːdədʒi] n. （年轻的）天才，奇才，精英；神童stomp英 [stɒmp]；美 [stɑmp]v. 迈着重重的步子走（或跳舞、移动）guarantee英 [ˌɡærənˈtiː]；美[ˌɡærənˈtiː] n. 保证；保修单；起保证作用的事物；保证金v. 保证；保障；提供（产品）保修单；使必然发生；承诺对…负法律责任console英 [kənˈsəʊl , ˈkɒnsəʊl]；美[kənˈsoʊl , ˈkɑːnsoʊl] vt. 安慰；抚慰；慰藉n. （机器、电子设备等的）控制台，操纵台，仪表板

The Olympic Games are considered the world's foremost sports competition with more than 200 nations participating. The Olympic Games are held every four years, with the Summer and Winter Games alternating by occurring every four years but two years apart. > > Their creation was inspired by the ancient Olympic Games, which were held in Olympia, Greece, from the 8th century BC to the 4th century AD. Baron Pierre de Coubertin founded the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1894, leading to the first modern Games in Athens in 1896. ... > > The evolution of the Olympic Movement during the 20th and 21st centuries has resulted in several changes to the Olympic Games. Some of these adjustments include the creation of the Winter Olympic Games for ice and winter sports, the Paralympic Games for athletes with a disability, and the Youth Olympic Games for teenage athletes. The Deaflympics and Special Olympics are also endorsed by the IOC.
