Seeing them like this, the deputy team leader and observers smiled and comforted them: "If you find it difficult, others must also find it difficult." The deputy team leader professor led them back: "Friendship comes first, competition comes second. Three, even if the task is completed, relax, there is one more day tomorrow, and you can play for two days with peace of mind."
They say they are relaxed, but in fact they are not relaxed in their hearts. They have only ranked third for three consecutive years before, if they can't even keep the third place this time...
Before setting off, the leaders of the relevant departments had told them to make sure to fight against each other.
It is said that friendship is first and competition is second. In fact, whoever comes to participate in the competition does not want to fight for the first place, especially the teenagers and girls who come to participate in the competition. Which one is 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, due to the popularity of Su Xingchen, domestic attention to IMO is very high. It can be said that the whole people pay attention to it. This is both a good thing and a bad thing. The advantage is that the more people pay attention to the IMO competition, the more people pay attention to the Olympiad, and the people who learn the Olympiad There will be more, just like the domestic 100-meter sprint, it will also bring prosperity in the Olympics.
The downside is that there are more people paying attention, and once they "lose" the game, they will be like Liu Fei who carried too many people's expectations in the 2008 Olympics, which may cause the whole network to be blacked out.
And the one who bears the brunt is the 'star' Su Xingchen.
They paid attention to the game because of her, and naturally they needed her to bear the anger they had to vent after the 'failure' of the game.
Of course, if they can win the game, it will be another scene of flowers and applause.
The two observer teachers and the deputy team leader cast their gazes on the back of Su Xingchen, who was walking in front without any sign of nervousness. There is another way to solve it, that is, she wins the gold medal.
The first place is not calculated for individual results, but for group results, the total group score.
But individuals also have to win cards. If she wins the gold medal personally, then the pressure on her will be less, even if she doesn't get the first or third place, as long as she wins the gold medal personally, she will not be in the team. Being dragged down in the middle, naturally there will be no room for criticism. If other members do not win the gold medal, they don't need to bear too many people's expectations or the anger of failure like Su Xingchen.
Both observers were somewhat concerned.
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 doing now?"
Because she took too many classes, they were really not optimistic about her grades.
The deputy team leader, Professor Peng, was quite relaxed. He took a break while eating and said with a smile: "How did she do in the exam, you should ask her, ask me, how do I know?"
"She has an exam tomorrow. Asking her at this time is not putting pressure on her." The two observers really wanted to give him a blank look, and they still wanted to play tricks at this time.
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 now. The test is not only about their usual accumulation, but also their luck. The six questions are sent from more than one hundred countries. I was selected from the middle school, good luck, we just taught this topic before, they have learned it, bad luck, 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... "
When it came to the topic of P3, the observer teacher from Haishi High School couldn't help feeling heavy again.
Although he is an observer of the IMO this time, he is also a teacher of their school's competition class like Teacher Ke, and a special teacher with more than 20 years of experience in teaching Mathematical Olympiads, but he failed to solve the P3 question today.
"Forget it, forget it, let's eat and eat." The observer teacher from Haishi High School said.
Another observer teacher comforted him and said: "Actually, there is no need to be nervous. There is still one more day tomorrow. Besides, I think Su Xingchen is quite calm. As long as she can maintain the correct rate of three questions, she will be able to do so." A trip to the IMO is not a drag."
Each question is worth seven points, and the correct rate of the three questions is 21 points. This score is not comparable to the scores in the years when I won the first place, but it is not bad compared to the scores in the years when I did not take the first place.
He looked at the results of the contestants in the years when they won the first place, and basically all of them scored 28 points.
Fearing that Gao Shang and the other contestants would be under psychological pressure, the professors first adjusted their emotions. When the exam was held the next day, just from their expressions, they could no longer see the tension and heaviness at all.
Gao Shang, on the other hand, held Su Xingchen's hand before the exam, and asked in a nervous whisper, "Xingchen, what if I fail the exam?"
Su Xingchen smiled and said, "What are you afraid of? I'm the last one for you!"
This sentence successfully comforted Gao Shang, she immediately smiled and pinched Su Xingchen's arm lightly, and went on stage with peace of mind.
As the only two remaining girls in the national top six this time, in the previous Huaguo women's competition and training team, her results were only a little bit worse than Su Xingchen, but after that she trained for three months, Su Xingchen During those three months in the college entrance examination, she believed that she had not made progress in these three months. Su Xingchen's words did make her feel a lot less stressed.
The exam this time is still in the gymnasium, and 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 Huaguo, holding a portrait of Su Xingchen in their hands.
Cheng Kangyao, one of the fans of the Kill Matt fan group this time, stood on the steps in front of the gymnasium and shouted to the people below: "This is an IMO competition, not a basketball game. You must be quiet when you enter, so as not to affect the star exam! Don't make a loud noise Noisy, if you have to go to the toilet on the way, go quietly."
Standing in front of Cheng Kangyao were all Shamates, it was a scene of demons dancing wildly, which attracted the attention of many people abroad.
But because of Su Xingchen, all these killers became more confident, holding their heads up high.
They are visual kei, rock kei, hum! o(￣ヘ￣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 to the fans in front of her with a cold face: "When the garbage you brought in comes out, I will take it out and throw it into the trash can. Who left the garbage in there yesterday?"
She glanced down, she was not very old, but she felt quite oppressed, and said: "We are fans of the head, and we came to watch the game of the head, which represents the face of the head, don't let her be in Foreign countries are ashamed, understand?"
After yesterday's stance, these killers were in order, and no rubbish was left at the scene. Instead, they, fans who looked down on Shamat, left rubbish at the scene, and Cheng Kangyao told her about it, which made her Very embarrassing.
The faces of the few fans who left trash yesterday suddenly became hot and shouted: "Understood!"
"When the headmaster enters the field, you just watch quietly, 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 that Cheng Kangyao specifically ordered them today. This made her feel ashamed as a fellow Su Xingchen fan, but also annoyed that she didn't manage the star fans she brought. them.
"Okay, line up and enter the arena quietly!" The girl waved her hand.
This time fans came to Romania to watch the match. There were two groups. One was the Shamate fan group headed by Cheng Kangyao, and the other was organized by her. Su Xingchen had several unofficial fan groups, one of which was the head of the fan group. That's her.
The spectators entered the arena one after another. There were more than 600 tables in the middle of the huge gymnasium, surrounded by TV cameras. Looking at the crowded auditorium, the Romanian TV crew and their colleagues said: The love of math is amazing!"
Four and a half hours, such a boring game, after watching it quietly for half an hour yesterday, they actually watched it again today.
More than half of the tickets for watching the game were bought by these Chinese people, and the TV station in Hua Country actually bought the rights to broadcast the IMO game.
This is the first time that Romania, which has hosted six IMO games, has sold the rights to broadcast an IMO game.
Will anyone really watch such a boring game
meeting!
And the ratings exceeded their imagination.
There is a five-hour time difference between Romania and Huaguo. Romania is 8:00 in the morning, and Huaguo’s capital time is 1:00pm. This time is when many people are free, and it’s summer vacation. Not only Su Xingchen’s fans are sitting Watching the game in front of the TV, many parents and netizens are also watching the live broadcast.
It is also the first time for the live broadcast commentator to comment on such a silent game. At the same time, another teacher who was an observer of IMO last year was invited as a guest commentator.
The narrator and last year’s observer teacher were also afraid that the people’s expectations for Su Xingchen were too high, so they also explained the difficulty of the previous IMO questions and the scores of the contestants in previous years. .
Especially after the competition yesterday, after the three questions of P1P2P3 came out, the domestic competition leaders also picked up their pens and did the questions at home. The hot search on the Internet is #苏星陈IMO##IMO P3#.
It's too difficult!
Netizens exclaimed that IMO is worthy of being an international competition, and the difficulty of the questions presented cannot be compared with that of CMO.
As soon as today's competition started, the previous competition masters, college teachers, and professors worked with the six contestants to complete the questions.
This kind of prosperous scene also makes many mathematics lovers feel gratified. This is a scene that they could not imagine in the past. Mathematical Olympiad has always been an unpopular competition that only mathematics lovers pay attention to. It is the first time that so many people have watched it. and attention.
Observers invited by CCTV Sports Channel saw the liveliness on the Internet and the continuously increasing number of people watching the live broadcast, and sighed: "Among the previous IMO competitions, this year's attention to IMO is unprecedented and surprising."
The narrator smiled and said, "I'm afraid there will be no one to follow."
Last year's observer teacher said: "For at least 20 years, it will be difficult to replicate this year's enthusiasm."
The narrator joked with a smile: "Unless Su Xingchen continues to participate in next year's IMO."
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, and there was a date of birth in a certain column of the form, and he explained to the audience seriously: "The upper age limit for IMO competitions is 20 years old, I think Su Xingchen's age She is nineteen years old, and she can participate in at least two more sessions." The observer teacher added: "If she can maintain the same state as this year next year."
"This is very difficult. As we all know, she is a star and usually works a lot. As a star, it is very rare to be able to participate in such a competition. After she has graduated and her energy has been distracted by work and acting, she still wants to maintain this year. In such a state, it is basically impossible, and it can be said that she was able to enter the IMO this year is also very accidental."
The host commentator quickly added with a smile: "Occasionally there is also necessity."
The observer teacher knew that she had made a slip of the tongue, and quickly said: "Yes, yes, there is an inevitability in the coincidence. It can be seen from the fact that she has participated in the competition for such a long time and can still get the top prize in the provincial science department of Province Z. She has a good reputation in mathematics. She is very talented, if she can devote more time to the competition next year, and can maintain the same level as this year, she may really be able to participate in next year's IMO." Su Xingchen can't concentrate on mathematics research, but is a star , The observer teacher also felt a little regretful.
Such a talented person should enter the mathematics field. However, among the annual IMO contestants, there are very few people who can finally engage in mathematics research. Like Su Xingchen, they all went to do other things.
But like Su Xingchen, there are almost no celebrities who have become celebrities.
The commentator looked at the barrage on the live broadcast, and asked a question that the audience in front of the TV wanted to know: "Are there many consecutive participants in the previous IMO competitions?"
"Yes." The observer teacher nodded.
The host commentator knew that Su Xingchen was the main reason why everyone paid attention to IMO, so when commenting, he also tried to draw the topic to Su Xingchen to maintain the audience's attention to the game.
After all, the four and a half hours of silent competition, not to mention the audience would feel bored, even the two commentators would feel bored.
It's not like a football game or a basketball game. During the whole game, there are ups and downs, and the nerves of the audience will also be tense and exciting along with the game.
"A contestant from the United States has participated in six IMO competitions before, and won a good result of hardware and one bronze. For example, this year's American contestant Alex participated in the IMO competition for the third time. In the previous two competitions, He has also won two gold medals and is a strong contender for this year's gold medal."
"However, this year will also be the last time for him to participate in the IMO competition. This year, his age has reached the upper limit. As the two gold medal winners of the year before and last year, Alex's performance, if nothing else, the US team basically A gold medal has been locked on the Internet.
"Then do you think Su Xingchen can win the gold medal in this competition?"
The observer teacher was silent for a while, but still answered honestly: "Difficult!"
"Today's three questions haven't been released yet. Yesterday's three questions are already available online. Some netizens have already solved the P1 question, but the answer to P3 is not yet available online."
The host commentator quickly smiled and said, "Okay, let's watch today's game."
The screen cuts to the scene of Su Xingchen and their match.
Today's competition started, the test questions were distributed, Su Xingchen and the others also got three questions of P4P5P6.
Four and a half hours later, the competition ended, and the three questions of today's competition were also published online.
As soon as these three questions came out, the masters of the school were all excited to join the army of solving the problems, while the scumbags were already dizzy, with 'Who am I? where am i what am i doing '.
With the end of the International Mathematical Olympiad, many netizens on the Internet sighed: "I am obviously a scumbag, why am I watching the International Mathematical Olympiad?"
"Oh my god, I actually watched such a high-level competition as the International Olympic Games, and instantly felt that my soul was sublimated!"
"Four and a half hours, I just stared at the screen for four and a half hours. If it wasn't for the rapid scrolling of the barrage, I would have thought the screen was still!"
"How did my Sect Master do in the exam? The internet is full of bad news, I'm so worried."
"I'm also very worried, please get a good grade in the exam."
"I beg the master to get a good grade in the exam!"
"..."
"I beg the master to get a good grade in the exam!" Tens of thousands of comments were posted on this sentence.
There are also rational fans who said: "If my head can stand in the IMO examination room, I have already won!"
Of course, some people said: "With Su Xingchen here, this year's results will probably be terrible!"
"Giant face-slapping scene, just wait for Su Xingchen and her dogs to be slapped in the face!"
On the afternoon of the day after the competition, some results came out, but the results were not announced on the official website of the International Olympic Games, because the official website is not so fast.
Instead, some fans at the scene took photos of the results on the big screen with cameras and sent them to the country. 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 the results are released on the official website, the score sheet is generally the country, the number of participants, and then divided into P1, P2, P3 according to the score of each question... In this way, the final total score.
The country with the first total score will be ranked first, and the following will be ranked in order, only the total score of each question and the total score of all questions will be ranked, and the score of each participant will not be announced.
The results announced on the big screen at the scene are like a curriculum schedule. 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, Arrange according to the first alphabetical order of each person's name.
The pictures are very small, and the scores scattered on the big screen are even smaller, because on each picture, there are scores from twelve countries.
They managed to find the code CHN, which represents the country of Huaguo. When they saw the two huge '0's in the form corresponding to the name at the bottom of the score sheet, they felt a sudden thump in their hearts.
Looking at the name again, it's okay, it's not Su Xingchen.
They didn't pay attention to who the person who got two zero scores in the test was, whether it was a fan or Heizi, they only cared about Su Xingchen's score.
The top ranked is CHU, Chu Yunzhi, all 7 behind the score, with a total score of 42 points, a full score.
The second place was a name they didn't pay attention to, and the score was also followed by 7, with a total score of 42 points, a perfect score.
The third place was the name they paid the most attention to and cared about the most. The result was also followed by 7, with a total score of 42 points, a perfect score.
