?“記得我第一次參加世錦賽也是銀牌，后來我拿了冠軍?！北本r(shí)間今天凌晨，在索契冬奧會(huì)女子自由式滑雪空中技巧最后一跳中落地不穩(wěn)，用左手支撐了一下身體的徐夢桃，最終拿到了銀牌，留下了遺憾。不過，她已經(jīng)將期望瞄向了四年后的韓國平昌，她說：“說起來四年很輕松，過得很快，但也是1000多天??！”

自由式滑雪空中技巧預(yù)賽第一跳，徐夢桃完成得并不好，通過預(yù)賽第二輪方才晉級(jí)決賽。“我還從來沒比過第二跳呢！”在混合采訪區(qū)，在別的選手都以還有比賽謝絕采訪的時(shí)候，這位愛笑的東北姑娘笑著說了這么一句，顯示出她的實(shí)力與信心。隨后決賽的前兩跳，徐夢桃都完成得非常出色，特別是第二跳，拿下了101.08分的高分，只要保持住，在最后一跳中跳出同樣的水準(zhǔn)，冠軍就是她的。

但決賽最后一跳,在徐夢桃前面出場的隊(duì)友李妮娜，卻出現(xiàn)了狀況，重重地摔在了地上，“我在上面看娜姐摔在那，我都不敢瞅了。我就想哭，但又必須馬上調(diào)整自己的情緒。”她說，“就四個(gè)人比，時(shí)間太短了，無論你怎么調(diào)整，均勻呼吸，還是特別緊，然后我就是落地時(shí)候沒有控制好?！睆牡厣吓榔饋淼男靿籼遥c李妮娜緊緊地?fù)肀г诹艘黄?，傷心地大哭起來，“我還是挺遺憾的！”賽后每當(dāng)說到比賽的失誤，她的眼淚都抑制不住地流了出來。其實(shí)，由于最終奪冠的白俄羅斯選手阿拉·楚佩爾，最后一跳的動(dòng)作難度并沒有徐夢桃高，因此只要徐夢桃當(dāng)時(shí)站住了，最后的金牌很可能就是她的。但徐夢桃認(rèn)為自己還有機(jī)會(huì)圓奧運(yùn)金牌夢。她說：“我們這個(gè)項(xiàng)目都是老隊(duì)員，我還能干到2026年呢！”

“這次索契冬奧會(huì)就是我之前四年的全部目標(biāo)?！毙靿籼艺f，“關(guān)于未來我還沒有明確的打算，但我會(huì)繼續(xù)努力，讓自己更強(qiáng)大一些，去面對(duì)接下來的比賽?！?/span>
