With less than two months to go before the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the whole society is increasingly looking forward to it. Thanks to the vigorous promotion of ice and snow sports in recent years, the people of Jiangsu have also embarked on ice and snow fields to welcome the arrival of the Winter Olympics with sports.
This weekend (December 12), the reporter visited some of the ice rinks in Nanjing, the forerunner of the "North Ice South Exhibition", and found that primary and secondary school students not only participated in ice sports, but also the technology was not lost to adults.
At the Olympic-standard Nanjing Olympic Sports Center Skating Hall, the 1,800-square-meter ice rink is divided into two parts. In the half-width field, thirty or forty elementary school students are divided into three groups to receive professional ice hockey teaching. Citizens who came to experience skating occupied the other half of the venue, and the two sides were "clearly distinguished". But judging from the speed and fluency of gliding, it is undoubtedly better for elementary school students.
No, after an hour and a half of training, the 6-year-old Mei Zilu children are still unfinished, and the fairy tales are full of love for ice hockey: "I skate a bit like 'air', I feel fast and cool." "Being able to make more good friends and have the opportunity to participate in real combat games makes the children like the hockey lessons three to four times a week."
Guan Weinan, a former member of the Chinese women's ice hockey team and coach of the Nanjing Olympic Sports Center Ice Sports Center, came to Nanjing Olympic Sports in 2018 to coach. Coach Guan told reporters that the number of children participating in the training in the past few years has grown from the initial 20 to 30 to more than 200.
In order to better train the "small players", the Olympic Sports Ice Rink will hold two large-scale national events every year, and invite strong teams from Beijing, Chengdu, Shenzhen and other places to practice instead of competitions. In the 2019 national u-series competition, both the men's and women's teams from the Olympic Sports participated, and the women's team won the second place in the country.
The parents who were waiting on the sidelines sincerely supported their children to receive training in ice and snow sports from an early age. "It doesn't matter if you fall, it's very normal in sports, as long as the protection is done well, it's okay, you can't waste food because of choking." Seeing his grandson fall on the ice rink, Chen Yongping said with some pain.
After participating in ice hockey training, the improvement of children's physique, sensitivity and reaction, as well as the homework that has not been left behind, have strengthened parents' support for their children to continue to participate in ice and snow sports.
According to reports, the skating hall of Nanjing Olympic Sports Center is committed to providing a good "soil" for children in the south to engage in ice and snow sports, and also provides convenience for the general public to participate in ice and snow sports.
Xu Huijuan, director of the Ice Club of nanjing Olympic Sports Center, told reporters that the number of people participating in ice sports on weekends can reach about 400 people, and the number of skating and training people received in a year reaches nearly 80,000. At the same time, in order to better "relay the Winter Olympics", the fee of the Olympic Sports Skating Hall is very close to the people, and the double ticket price on the group purchase website is 140 yuan, and the single ticket price is 75 yuan.
Looking at the whole province of Jiangsu, 45 ice and snow sites have been built, with an area of 553,200 square meters. In order to better drive the masses to participate in ice and snow sports, Jiangsu has issued 5 million yuan of ice and snow consumption coupons for four consecutive years, and through the "real money and silver" subsidy measures, it has stimulated the enthusiasm of the people for ice and snow consumption and promoted the sustained and healthy development of the ice and snow industry.
Zhu Xiaojun, director of Jiangsu Winter Sports Management Center and secretary general of Jiangsu Ice and Snow Sports Association, said: "Jiangsu will borrow the spring breeze of the Beijing Winter Olympics and take the 'North Ice South Exhibition, Eastward Expansion and West Expansion' as a long-term strategy to drive the people of Jiangsu to participate in ice and snow sports and enjoy the happiness brought by ice and snow sports!" ”
