I am a member of the committee| Li Nina: the moment I hold the torch, I feel a heavy weight

On the morning of the 4th, the Fifth Session of the 13th CPPCC Beijing Municipal Committee held a collective interview activity of "I am a member". Dressed in the uniform of the Beijing Winter Olympic Torch Relay and holding the "flying" torch of the Beijing Winter Olympics, Li Nina, a member of the Communist Youth League, attracted everyone's attention as soon as she appeared. Seeing her, people naturally realized that the footsteps of the Beijing Winter Olympics were getting closer and closer.

From being a world champion to the team management of the National Freestyle Skiing Aerial Skills Team at the Winter Sports Management Center of the State General Administration of Sports, Li Nina's identity has changed, and what has not changed is that she has never left her beloved ice and snow sports. Li Nina said: "More than 20 years ago, when I first went to the snow field and touched the skiing project, I never thought that I could one day climb the highest podium at the international arena, see the national flag raised, and listen to the national anthem. In just a few decades, I have not only personally participated in the process of freestyle skiing aerial skills in China from scratch and from weak to strong, but also witnessed the leapfrog development of ice and snow sports in China. ”

Looking back on her winter Olympic experience, Li Nina has a lot of feelings. From the youthful excitement of the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics to the calm and calm of the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, through her four Winter Olympics, people have seen the growth and maturity of Chinese athletes, and the strength and confidence brought by the development of the country to athletes.

The Beijing Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympic Games are major landmark events at important historical nodes in China. Under the global situation of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the construction of all venues for the Beijing Winter Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games was completed as scheduled, and many ice and snow projects in China have achieved from scratch in a few years, and even reached the world's advanced level, which fully reflects the party's leadership and the institutional advantages of the national system and the concentration of efforts to do big things. As IOC President Bach said, when bidding for the 2022 Winter Olympics, China made a commitment to "promote 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports", which is not only a huge contribution to the development of ice and snow sports in China, but also a huge contribution to the Olympic movement.

Li Nina said: "In September 2021, I was tasked with going to Greece to deliver the Seeds of the Beijing Winter Olympics. The moment I held the torch in my hand, I felt a heavy weight. This weight is a recognition and encouragement for my personal sports career and transformation work, and it is also an affirmation and appreciation for the development of ice and snow sports in our country. "Personally participating in the collection and handover of the Olympic flames, witnessing the Olympic flames symbolizing light, unity, friendship, peace and justice coming to Beijing again, Li Nina regards this as a great personal glory and as the most sincere gift to the party and the country."

In 2008, the unparalleled Beijing Olympics gave the world an increasingly open, inclusive and modern China. In 2022, the Beijing Winter Olympics will once again show China's self-confidence and responsibility to the world. As a member of the Beijing Municipal Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Li Nina issued a warm invitation to friends from all over the world who came to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympic games and the Winter Paralympic Games: "Beijing welcomes you, we see you in Beijing!" ”
