Shougang ice master Liu Yongliang:

"Making ice for the Winter Olympics is both a concern and an honor!"

Today, Liu Yongliang, head of ice making and venue management of Shougang Park Sports Center of Shougang Group, and three other colleagues opened the "Winter Olympic Time" and set off from Shougang Park to the Capital Gymnasium to ensure the ice surface of the Winter Olympic Figure Skating and Short Track Speed Skating Events. Liu Yongliang is full of expectations for the next work.

Liu Yongliang, 39, is an ice maker responsible for the pre-ice and post-ice surface maintenance work at the site. But his job is not only to produce high-quality ice surfaces, but also to manage the "four pieces of ice" in Shougang Park - ice hockey, curling, figure skating and short track speed skating training venues for national team training ice, to prepare athletes for service guarantees. Since 2016, the ice-making schemes of various competitions jointly researched and completed by him and the ice-making team have independent intellectual property rights, which has become an important technical data for Shougang Group's ice-making profession in the field of urban services in the future.

Liu Yongliang was once a shunting officer in charge of railway transportation molten iron in Shougang Transportation Department, and after the complete suspension of production in the old shougang plant in 2010, he chose to stay behind like many old employees and stand on the "last shift".

In 2016, an ice-making study registration form completely changed the trajectory of his life. "I thought ice making was fun and I wanted to get a challenging job." Out of curiosity, Liu Yongliang seized the opportunity to sign up and trained and studied at the Capital Gymnasium for five months. In the eyes of outsiders, ice making is freezing water into ice, and Liu Yongliang initially understood it this way. But after studying on the spot, he found that the process of making ice surfaces was very complicated. Some people say that the ice maker is a "finely crafted" craftsman on the ice, which is not an exaggeration: every step must strictly control the error, accurate to millimeters or even microns, and even the method, dosage, speed and ground temperature of sprinkling water have strict requirements.

Liu Yongliang plunged into the ice rink and learned ice making with domestic ice experts, and finally got started to carry out the whole process of ice making practice after a year. From watching the bustle to looking at the doorway, he has experienced quenching experience. In the ice making process, the red and blue lines on the track seem simple, but it is the most difficult process for the ice maker. Drawing lines must be formed at once, Liu Yongliang squatted on the ground for three or four hours when drawing lines on ice, and he was really tired and could only stretch his legs to relax.

With the arrival of the Beijing cycle of the Winter Olympic Games, Shougang Park has undertaken more and more large-scale events. For the icemakers who maintain the ice surface, the competition period is the busiest time for Liu Yongliang and his colleagues. From 7 a.m. to 11 p.m., they are on standby at the ice rink to test and improve their ice-making skills in real combat. In addition to ice making, Liu Yongliang also needs to know the ice unit equipment well, he not only carefully read and learn the equipment manual, but also has time to watch the maintenance process of the equipment manufacturer on the spot, and participate in the maintenance of the equipment throughout the process, which has mastered the process performance and maintenance requirements of all the equipment.

After entering the Capital Gymnasium, Liu Yongliang and his team members will be responsible for the ice making and event support of figure skating and short track speed skating in the stadium. Presenting the dreamlike "Winter Olympic Ice" for athletes and spectators is not only his concern, but also an honor.
