The deputy team leader and observers looked at them like this and smiled to comfort them: "If you find it difficult, others will certainly find it difficult." The deputy team leader and professor led them back: "Friendship first, second in the game, as long as we can keep the previous Three, even if the task is completed, relax. There is still one day tomorrow. After that, you can play with peace of mind for two days."
What they say is relaxed, but in fact they are not relaxed. They have only been third for three consecutive years. If they can’t even keep the third place this time...
Before the departure, the leaders of the relevant departments had already instructed them to ensure that the three must fight for one.
It is said that the friendship is the first and the second is the competition. In fact, those who come to participate in the competition do not want to fight for the first place, especially the young girls who come to participate in the competition, who are not the best in their own country, they all have their own pride in their hearts.
Besides, this year is different from previous years.
This year, because of Su Xingchen’s popularity, domestic attention to IMO is very high. It can be said to be a national concern. This is both a good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is that the more people pay attention to the IMO competition, the more people pay attention to the Olympic Mathematics and the people who learn it. There will be more, just like the domestic 100-meter dash, it will also bring prosperity to the Olympics.
The downside is that there are too many people to follow, and once they lose the game, they will be like Liu Fei who carried too many expectations in the 2008 Olympics, and it may cause a network black situation.
And the first to bear the brunt is the'star' Su Xingchen.
They pay attention to the game because of her, and naturally they need her to bear the anger they have to vent after the "failure" of the game.
Of course, if they can win the game, it will be another scene of fresh flowers and applause.
The two observer teachers and the deputy team leader all cast their eyes on the back of Su Xingchen, who walked in front of him and couldn't see the tension at all, and there is another way to crack it, that is, she won the gold medal.
The first place is not the individual score, but the team score, the team total score.
But the individual also has to win the card. If she personally wins the gold medal, then she will have less pressure, even if she does not win the first or third place, as long as she personally wins the gold medal and is not in the team If you are dragging your feet in the middle, naturally there will be no place for criticism. If other members have not won the gold medal, they don't need to bear too many expectations or the anger of failure like Su Xingchen.
Both observers are a little worried.
Back at the hotel where she was staying, the two observers were still asking the deputy team leader who had been training her: "Professor Peng, how is Su Xingchen, how is she now?"
Because she has too many classes, they are really not optimistic about her grades.
Professor Peng, the deputy team leader, was quite relaxed. He bought a pass while eating and smiled: "How is she doing on the exam, you should ask her, ask me, how do I know?"
"She has an exam tomorrow. Ask her at this time, isn't it stressing her." The two observers wanted to give him a blank look. At this time, they wanted to sell it.
Professor Peng took a sip of the soup and put down the spoon: "It's useless for you to be anxious now. It's time to take the test. It's not just their usual accumulation, but also luck. The six questions are sent from more than 100 countries. The selected ones are lucky. We have just taught this topic before. They learned it. If they are not lucky, we may not be able to do it ourselves. What do you ask them to do? You have all seen the topic of P3 today..."
Speaking of the topic of P3, the observer teacher from the Haishi High School couldn't help but feel heavy again.
Although he is an observer of IMO this time, he is also like Teacher Ke, a teacher of their school's competition class, and a super teacher with more than 20 years of experience in teaching Mathematical Olympiad, but he did not solve the problem of today's P3.
"Forget it, forget it, eat and eat." said the observer teacher from the Haishi High School.
Another observer teacher comforted him and said: "In fact, there is no need to be nervous. There is still one day tomorrow. Besides, I think Su Xingchen herself is quite calm. As long as she can maintain the correct rate of the three questions, she will A trip to IMO is not a hindrance."
Each question is seven points, and the correct rate of three questions is 21 points. This result is incomparable with the results of the years when the first place was won, but it is not worse than the years when you did not get the first place.
He looked at the results of the contestants in the first few years and basically scored 28 points.
Fearing that Gao Shang and the other contestants would be under psychological pressure, the professors adjusted their emotions first. When they took the exam the next day, there was no tension or heaviness in their expressions.
It is noble, holding Su Xingchen's hand before the exam, and quietly asked, "Xingchen, what if I fail the exam?"
Su Xingchen smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? I'm giving you the bottom line!"
This sentence successfully relieved to noble, she suddenly smiled and twisted Su Xingchen's arm slightly, and went on the court with peace of mind.
As the only two girls remaining in the top six in the country, in the previous Hua Guo women’s competition and training team, her performance was only as bad as Su Xingchen, but after that she trained for three months, Su Xingchen During the three months in the college entrance examination, she believed that she had not made progress in these three months, and Su Xingchen's words really made her feel much less pressure.
This time the exam is still in the gymnasium. A large number of spectators have gathered outside the gymnasium. Except for locals and a few members from other countries, most of them are from China, holding a portrait of Su Xingchen in their hands.
Cheng Kangyao, as one of the fans of the killing Matt fan group, stood on the steps in front of the stadium and shouted to the following: "This is an IMO competition, not a basketball game. You must be quiet when you enter, and don't affect the star exam! Don't speak loudly. Noisy, there are people who want to go to the bathroom halfway, and go quietly."
Standing in front of Cheng Kangyao was all killing Matt. It was a scene of a gang of demons dancing and attracted the attention of many people abroad.
But because of Su Xingchen, these killers are all self-confident, raising their heads upright.
They are the visual department, the rock department, huh!o(o#)
A girl with a tattoo on her arm gave them a cold look and separated herself from them.
She is also a fan of Su Xingchen, and she said coldly to the fans in front of her: "When the trash you brought in comes out, bring it out to me and throw it into the trash can. Who left the trash in it yesterday?"
She glanced down for a circle, not too old, but quite oppressive, and said: "We are fans of the head, we are here to watch the head of the game, which represents the face of the head, don’t let her Foreign countries are embarrassed, understand?"
After taking a stand yesterday, these killers were in order, and no rubbish was left on the scene. Instead, their fans who looked down on Killing Matt left rubbish on the scene and were told by Cheng Kangyao, which made her Very embarrassing.
The faces of several fans who left trash yesterday suddenly became hot and shouted: "Understood!"
"Just watch it quietly when the head enters the arena, don't cheer, don't shout, this is a math competition, not a basketball game!" When she said this, the girl glanced at Cheng Kangyao.
It was because someone called Su Xingchen’s name at the scene yesterday, and today Cheng Kangyao deliberately ordered them. This made her as a fan of Su Xingchen feel ashamed, but also annoyed that she did not manage the star fans she brought. They.
"Okay, line up and enter quietly!" The girl waved.
This time the fans came to Romania to watch the game. There were two groups. One was the Kill Matt fan group headed by Cheng Kangyao, and the other was her organization. Su Xingchen had several unofficial fan groups, one of which was the head of the fan group. It's her.
The spectators entered the arena one after another. There were more than 600 tables in the middle of the huge stadium. The cameras of the TV station were shooting all the time. Looking at the full audience, the Romanian TV crew and their colleagues said: "The Chinese are right. The love of mathematics is amazing!"
Four and a half hours, such a boring game, they watched it again today after watching quietly for half an hour yesterday.
Most of the tickets for watching the game were bought by these Chinese, and the Chinese TV station actually bought the broadcasting rights of the IMO game.
This is the first time that Romania, which has hosted six IMO competitions, has sold the broadcasting rights of IMO competitions.
Does anyone really watch such a boring game?
meeting!
And the ratings exceeded their imagination.
There is a five-hour time difference between Romania and China. Romania is eight in the morning and Hua Guo’s capital time is one in the afternoon. This time is when many people are empty, and it is summer vacation. Not only Su Xingchen’s fans are sitting at this time. Watching the game in front of the TV, many parents and netizens are also watching the live broadcast.
The live commentator was also the first time to comment on such a silent game. At the same time, he invited another IMO observer teacher from last year as a guest commentator.
The commentator and the observer teacher of last year were also afraid that the people had too much expectations for Su Xingchen, and explained the difficulty of the questions on the previous IMO and the scores of the contestants in previous years. Fans and audiences who have never understood the situation of the IMO competition .
Especially after yesterday's competition, after the P1P2P3 three questions came out, the domestic competition leaders also picked up their pens and did the questions at home. The hot search on the Internet is #IMO##IMO P3#.
Too difficult!
Netizens are all exclaiming that IMO is worthy of being an international competition, and the difficulty of the topics presented is not comparable to that of CMO.
At the beginning of today's competition, the previous competition bosses, college teachers, and professors joined the six contestants together-brushing the questions.
Such a prosperous scene also made many math lovers feel gratified. This is simply a scene they could not imagine in the past. Mathematical Olympiad has always been an unpopular competition that only math lovers pay attention to, and it is the first time that so many people have watched it. And attention.
The observers invited by the CCTV Sports Channel saw the excitement on the Internet and the continuous increase in the number of people watching the live broadcast, and exclaimed: "In previous IMO competitions, the attention paid to IMO like this year is unprecedented and surprising."
The narrator smiled and said, "I'm afraid there will be no newcomers."
Last year’s observer teacher said: “It will be difficult to replicate this year’s heat for at least 20 years.”
The commentator laughed and teased: "Unless next year's IMO Su Xingchen continues to participate."
Last year's observer teacher nodded and said a little excitedly: "Yes! This is not impossible!"
He looked down at Su Xingchen’s information on the desktop. There was a date of birth in a certain column of the table. He was very serious about popularizing science to the audience: "The upper limit of the age of IMO competition is 20 years old. I see Su Xingchen’s age. She is nineteen years old and can participate in at least two sessions." The observer teacher added: "If next year she can maintain this state like this year."
"This is difficult. As we all know, she is a star and she usually works a lot. As a star, it is very rare to be able to participate in such competitions. After she has graduated and her energy has been dispersed by work and acting, she still wants to maintain this year. Such a state is basically impossible. It can be said that she was able to enter the IMO this year also very accidentally."
The host narrator quickly smiled and added: "There is a certainty in accident."
The observer teacher knew that she had made a mistake, and quickly said: "Yes, yes, it is inevitable by chance. It can be seen from the fact that she has participated in such a long competition and won the provincial science champion of Z province. She has some mathematics. Very talented. If she can invest time in the competition next year, she can still be like this year, maybe she can really participate in next year’s IMO.” For Su Xingchen, she can’t concentrate on mathematics research, but become a star. , Teacher Observer also feels a little regretful.
Such a talented person deserves to enter the world of mathematics. However, among the IMO contestants every year, there are very few people who can finally engage in mathematics research. Like Su Xingchen, they do other things.
But like Su Xingchen, there are almost no stars.
The narrator looked at the barrage on the live broadcast and asked a question that the audience in front of the TV wanted to know: "So in the previous IMO competitions, are there many consecutive participants?"
"Yes." The observer teacher nodded.
The host commentator knew that the main reason for the people to pay attention to IMO was Su Xingchen, so when explaining, they tried their best to attract the topic to Su Xingchen to maintain the audience's attention to the game.
After all, four and a half hours of silent competition, not to mention the audience will be bored, even both of their commentators will be bored.
It's not like a football game or a basketball game. The ups and downs during the whole game, the nerves of the audience will follow the game.
"A contestant from the United States has participated in six IMO competitions before and won a bronze medal. For example, this year's American player Alex participated in the IMO competition for the third time. In the previous two sessions, He has also won two gold medals and is also a strong contender for this year's gold medal."
"But this year will also be the last time he will participate in the IMO competition. This year his age has reached the upper limit. As the two gold medal winners of the previous year and last year, Alex played in the game. If nothing else, the US team will basically A gold medal has been locked on.
"Then do you think Su Xingchen can win the gold medal in this competition?"
The observer teacher was silent for a while, and answered honestly: "Difficult!"
"Today's three questions have not yet come out. Yesterday's three questions are available online. Some netizens have solved the problem of P1, but the answer of P3 is not yet available online."
The host commentator hurriedly smiled and said: "Okay, let's watch today's game."
The picture cuts to the scene of Su Xingchen and their game.
Today's game began, and the test questions were distributed. Su Xingchen and the others also got three P4P5P6 questions.
Four and a half hours later, the game ended, and the three questions for today’s game were also published online.
As soon as these three questions came out, the scumbags were all excitedly involved in the problem-solving army. The scumbags had already dizzy with their eyes, and their faces were'Who am I?Where am i?What am i doing?'.
With the end of the International Olympiad, many netizens on the Internet sighed like this: "I am obviously a scumbag, why am I watching the International Mathematical Olympiad?"
"God, I was watching a tall game like the International Olympics, and I instantly felt that my soul was sublimated!"
"For four and a half hours, I just stared at the screen for four and a half hours. If it weren't for the barrage that was still scrolling fast, I would think the screen was still!"
"How did my boss take the exam? It's bad news on the Internet, I'm so worried."
"I'm so worried, I beg the master to get a good result in the exam."
"Please get a good result in the exam!"
"..."
"I beg you to get a good result in the exam!" This sentence was brushed tens of thousands.
There are also sane fans who said: "If I can stand in the IMO examination room, I have won!"
Of course, some people say: "With Su Xingchen, this year's results are estimated to be disastrous!"
"At the giant face-slap scene, wait for Su Xingchen and her dogs to be hit!"
On the afternoon of the end of the competition, some of the results came out. The results were not published on the official website of the International Olympics because the official website was not so fast.
Instead, some fans at the scene took photos of the results on the big screen with cameras and sent them to China. Among them, there happened to be the Hua Guo team.
If there was no Hua Guo team, fans would not send such photos back to China.
If it is the official website to post the results, the score sheet is usually the country, the number of participants, and then according to the score of each question is divided into P1, P2, P3... In this way, the final total score.
The country with the highest score will be ranked first, and the following will be listed in order. Only the total score of each question and the total score of all questions will be ranked. The score of each participant will not be announced.
And the big screen on the scene announces the results, like the timetable, the horizontal is the score of each question such as P1P2, and the vertical is the score of each contestant. The final total score is also ranked according to the score. If the score is the same, They are sorted according to the first letter of each person’s name.
The pictures are very small, and the scores scattered on the big screen are even smaller, because each picture has scores of twelve countries.
They finally found the code CHN representing the country of China. When they saw the two huge '0's in the table corresponding to the name at the bottom of the score sheet, they suddenly screamed.
Looking at the name again, it's okay, it's not Su Xingchen.
They don't care about the person who has scored two zero points in the exam, whether it is a fan or a sunspot, they only care about Su Xingchen's results.
At the top of the ranking is CHU, Chu Yunzhi, with a score of 7 behind them, with a total score of 42 points.
The second place is a name that they don't care about. The score is also all 7, with a total score of 42 points.
The third place is the name they are most concerned about and the most concerned about. The scores are all 7, with a total score of 42 points, full marks.
