Chapter 99 The Olympic Spirit
Chapter 99 The Olympic Spirit
"Partial tear of the medial collateral ligament, grade II!"
Lin Mu tightened his grip on the gauze.
He felt a sense of relief.
Fortunately, Zhang Dan had a cushioning motion when she landed.
Otherwise, the anterior cruciate ligament might rupture completely, causing the knee joint to lose its bony external stability structure.
Even if it's just to get a painkiller injection.
Without ligaments to restrain the joints, the knee joints can dislocate abnormally and instantly when gliding, pushing off the ice, or jumping and landing.
At best, it can cause meniscus damage or fracture.
In severe cases, it can lead to a complete loss of the ability to stand.
Are you sure you want to continue the match?
Lin Mu asked again.
Zhang Dan stared at her face, which was covered in cold sweat, and forced a smile, saying, "Dr. Lin, could you please bandage me up?"
Lin Mu didn't say anything more.
Having worked as a sports medicine doctor for over half a year, he understands how stubborn these athletes can be.
We also respect their ideals.
Perhaps this is the Olympic spirit.
Lin Mu recalled the banner outside the Olympic Village.
"The true meaning of the Olympics lies in participation rather than winning, just as the true meaning of life lies not in conquering others, but in one's own efforts and struggles."
This is Pierre de Coubertin, the Frenchman known as the father of the modern Olympic Games, quoting others to explain the Olympic spirit.
Lin Mu wrapped Zhang Dan in bandages and applied precise pressure to immobilize her.
The head referee came over and said, "You have two minutes to decide whether to continue competing. In my opinion, you shouldn't skate anymore."
"I want to continue competing."
Zhang Dan shook her head.
She then thanked Lin Mu and skated back onto the ice rink.
A look of confusion flashed in Zhang Hao's eyes behind him.
He then resolutely followed.
Instead of thinking about how serious Zhang Dan's injury was, he was thinking about all the skating techniques he had learned since elementary school.
It was only when he was supporting Zhang Dan.
He could sense that Zhang Dan needed to rely on herself to keep going.
He gritted his teeth, his eyes reddening, and slid along with Zhang Dan.
Zhang Dan was tossed into the air once again.
This time, everyone's heart trembled when Zhang Dan landed.
"It's a success!"
Lin Mu clenched his fists.
The melody of "Descendants of the Dragon" still lingers, and at this moment, the whole world has witnessed the will of the two.
When the music ends.
The two thanked the audience, but did not leave.
Instead, they took emergency measures on the sidelines and waited for the final result. Whoosh!
130.01!
With a score of 130.01 plus 65.72, the total is 195.73 points, ranking third.
bronze medal.
Applause was once again given to the two.
"Actually, it's not bad, is it?"
Zhang Dan wanted to comfort her partner, saying, "Two of the top three are from our country."
But as she was talking, she started to cry.
She thought that if she had reached out faster and landed more steadily, she could have done the tossing and flipping motion in the air perfectly.
Does this mean that Chinese figure skating can reach the top of the world?
She didn't understand why life was always like this.
They've clearly done their best.
"You did a great job."
Zhang Hao rubbed his face hard, his voice trembling, "Dr. Lin, is Zhang Dan alright?"
"I'll perform the surgery on her later."
Lin Mu's smile was somewhat forced. "Don't worry, I can guarantee she'll be fine with the cruciate ligament surgery."
Zhang Dan's condition is not serious.
For a grade II partial tear of the medial collateral ligament, Lin Mu does not need to undergo ACL double-bundle reconstruction; a minimally invasive collateral ligament suture repair is sufficient.
It's not very difficult.
Zhang Hao turned his back and said, "That's good, that's good."
Zhang Dan was upset.
And wasn't he the same?
Zhao Hongbo and others came over to comfort the two until the awards ceremony began after the match.
Lin Mucai had almost finished the emergency response.
Bronze medal, silver medal... Chinese figure skating once again missed out on the gold medal.
Lin Mu knew.
Tonight, Zhang Dan, Zhao Hongbo, and the others may regret it for the rest of their lives.
Looking at the Chinese athletes one by one.
A thought flashed through Lin Mu's mind.
That is... they will continue until the day they can no longer skate, or until they reach their goal.
......
Zhang Hao carried Zhang Dan to the parking lot. They were going to Molinet Hospital for hospitalization, accompanied by staff from the skating team.
Zhao Hongbo and his team have other commitments tomorrow and cannot leave the Olympic Village.
The same goes for trees.
Moreover, Zhang Dan is in the acute phase and cannot have surgery for seven days.
He watched the taillights of the car disappear into the distance, then turned to face Zhao Hongbo, hesitating to speak.
"Don't worry about how to comfort us."
Zhao Hongbo smiled and said, "I will continue to participate in the next Vancouver Winter Olympics."
Shen Xue stood beside him and nodded silently.
Twenty-six years.
Chinese figure skating has gone from nothing to where it is today, and an extra four years won't change that.
They are all used to encountering setbacks on the way to the summit.
"come on!"
Lin Mu offered his heartfelt blessings, "If you need anything in the future, feel free to contact me. Of course, I hope you won't need to."
"Then I'll take your good wishes."
Zhao Hongbo stretched out his hands.
Lin Mu also reached out his hand, and the two hugged and patted each other on the back.
......
Late at night, Lin Mu sat on the balcony, bathed in the Turin breeze, gazing at the vast starry sky.
People are more prone to emo late at night.
He is also included.
After he traveled through time, both Recoba and Zanetti recovered smoothly thanks to his treatment.
Inter Milan forced Juventus to a draw again yesterday.
The two teams are currently tied on points, but Inter Milan has a better goal difference, so they remain at the top of the Serie A standings.
Including the previous victory against Florence.
Lin Mu now has a little over a thousand experience points.
This is enough for him to upgrade "meniscus repair" and "ilium autologous bone grafting" to level five.
He just didn't want to use his experience points on these spells for the time being.
He is still missing a few pieces of the puzzle for his knee joint, such as medial patellofemoral ligament reconstruction, tibial tuberosity transfer, and knee osteotomy.
As for other parts, such as the hip joint, ankle joint, spine, etc.
A vast amount of knowledge awaits him to unlock with more experience points.
Lin Mu's previous experience in the United States made him want to focus his energy on his spine, but Hill is still waiting for him to have ankle surgery at San Rafael Hospital.
So it's clear what spells to add next.
[Fibular osteotomy and lengthening: Lv2 (3/200)]
[Distal Tibiofibular Syndesmosis Anchor Fixation: Lv2 (22/200)]
【...】
These are just preliminary surgeries.
There are several grayed-out spells that he can't add points to yet.
Such as "Iliac bone grafting of major blood vessels", "autologous cartilage inlay transplantation", "triple ligament reconstruction of the ankle joint", etc.
Hill's ankle problem was more serious than he had imagined.
Furthermore, Hill had a history of infection.
There is a high possibility that deep infection may be induced again during the operation.
This requires one to have the ability to perfectly replicate the blood supply in a bone transplant.
Hill was also a basketball player.
The accelerated healing method for microfractures cannot meet his jumping requirements.
"That's difficult."
Lin Mu looked up and saw twinkling stars.
Industrial pollution is not very serious at present.
Wait until the future.
Seeing the stars might be a luxury.
