“心碎”让我更加“渴望”
在冬奥会赛场上夺牌，一直激励着美国短道速滑运动员克里斯汀·桑托斯。
遗憾落选平昌2018年冬奥会，对于克里斯汀·桑托斯来说可以用“心碎”来形容，但这种心碎让她在接下来的四年里一直保持竞技动力。2017年，她在美国冬奥会选拔赛前一个月受伤，这也让她失去了参加平昌冬奥会的资格。经历了四年的成长，美国短道速滑女队由克里斯汀·桑托斯压阵，这也让美国队重燃自2010年温哥华冬奥会以来首获冬奥会女子短道速滑项目奖牌的希望。
“我不想只是为了去看奥运会而去奥运会。我想去，我想成为那里的竞争者，我想有所作为，我想融入其中——我想要一枚奖牌。”桑托斯毫不掩饰对于冬奥会的追求。
平昌冬奥会选拔前夕，桑托斯几乎要成功了，但第四名的成绩还远远不够。错过了平昌冬奥会让她表现得更加“渴望”。
桑托斯回忆道:“我当时已经意识到，即便我可以出征平昌冬奥会，我当时的状态，也不会让我在冬奥会上有所作为，获胜的概率很小。”
四年后，这位美国短道速滑500米和1000米纪录的保持者，来到北京向自己的梦想发起冲击。
桑托斯在过去几年中做出了一些“聪明的举动”，这也证明了她是目前最顶尖的短道速滑运动员之一。
“归根结底，最重要的是做出明智的举动——在正确的时间通过比赛，知道什么时候应该留在队伍的后面，什么时候应该走到前面，而不是在不必要的时候消耗能量。”桑托斯正朝着正确的方向迈步前进。

可是结果却是500本就不是强项其实1/4就被pen也不是太刀；1000FA和方姐一起摔了出去；1500SF刚开始拉外道被带出去了，因为没在晋级位只能ADB；混接SF托飞机那叫一个精彩啊，可惜队友蠢得不能用语言形容；北奥之后还伤了没去世锦

今天还是发疯状态，还没有从昨天缓过来
那句“北京的风吹到米兰，米兰的风吹走遗憾”

lfl滑得过我桑吗

啊啊啊星光不会辜负有心人的

又开始怀念我娜的巅峰了

疯了疯了

桑啊。。。

想死

这里也要发疯
OLYMPIC MEDAL PURSUIT
Heading into the 2021/22 season, she had her mind set on retiring at the end of the year. However, a fourth-place finish in the women's 1000m at the 2022 Olympic Winter Games in Beijing, in which she was involved in a crash with Italian skater Arianna Fontana, gave her the drive to continue to the 2026 Games in Milan-Cortina. "Going into [the 2021/22] season, I think I had kind of set my mind to it being my last year, and that was something that motivated and pushed me at every practice. Falling in the last race when you're in medal position isn't fun. That was hard to deal with, and honestly, it's still hard to deal with. It was something I went back-and-forth with a lot. It's tough. But after the season and how the Games went, I still feel like I'm improving a lot, and I realise that I have unfinished business with the sport. I'm not necessarily ready to walk away from that. I think, while I could have definitely medalled in that race if that had not happened, I want to be in a position where I'm almost untouchable, in that sense. Where I'm in front and nobody can take me out. I think I am in it for another cycle." (teamusa.org, 15 Apr 2022)
