On the third day of the National Day holiday, the 2019 "Shanghai Super Cup" arrived at the Maritime Crown Gymnasium of the Oriental Sports Center, one of the three major events held by the International Skating Federation in China every year, and is an ice event that brings together three sports: short track speed skating, figure skating and team skating.
On the first day of the event, the most exciting short track speed skating project took the lead in firing the gun, and the new and old partners of the Chinese team faced off against the elite soldiers of various countries.
The "post-00s" rising star shines on the field
The Shanghai Super Cup China Short Track Speed Skating Team sent a number of "post-00s" young players to participate in the competition, just as the so-called "newborn calves are not afraid of tigers", they are not afraid of pressure on the field, and have brought surprises to the audience again and again.
The short track speed skating women's 1000m final produced the first gold of the event, and three Chinese players entered the group A final, but the lack of experience made the girls fail to play their best level, and finally 15-year-old Zhang Chutong won a bronze medal. After the game, she also said that the original tactic arranged by the coach because of the numerical advantage was the team "wrapped in slippery", but the position that ran out after the start of the game was not as far as expected, "Today's final play was not very good, we seemed to be more passive, we should play more actively." Despite winning a precious medal, the little girl still kept reflecting on herself: "Today I still haven't done a good job, for me every game is an exercise, now I am still young and I am not afraid of losing, every game will be full of hard work to play, so that there will be progress, there will be gains, and slowly it will be better." ”
In the men's 1000m final that followed, another "post-00s" newcomer Zhang Tianyi won a silver medal in a duel with many strong players. "This is my first time in a world competition, I am very excited, I want to play my best level and try not to make mistakes, and set myself the goal before the game to be able to reach the final." Facing the camera, this 14-year-old boy looked a little rusty and shy, "It is quite unexpected to win the silver medal, many high-level athletes in the world have participated in this competition, and there is still a certain gap between me and them in terms of technical movements, ability levels, and technical tactics." Zhang Tianyi is also honored to represent the national team in world competitions at this age, saying that this is a valuable opportunity to increase experience, and the medals won should be shared with his parents.
The charm of the star players is displayed
In addition to the integration of fresh blood into short track events, world-class stars also gathered in Shencheng. The Shanghai Super Cup short track speed skating project attracted nearly 60 world masters, China's "young veteran" Han Tianyu has been plagued by injuries before, this competition is his comeback after a year, he said: "It feels very happy and exciting to return to the field, and it is a little regrettable that some mistakes in the semi-finals did not enter the final. Talking about injuries Han Tianyu said that last year he focused on the rehabilitation of his waist injury and has now recovered a lot, the Shanghai Super Cup is the first game he participated in this year and is also trying to find the feeling of the game. As a new "grandfather", Han Tianyu's face in the interview is also unable to hide the happiness: "Now going out to play is more of a concern, than the first time I think of my son after the completion, my own sense of responsibility is also slowly deepening." ”
In addition, Hungary's Liu brothers have also been concerned and loved by many ice fans, today's brother Liu Shaolin won the championship in the men's 1000 meters final, after the game he said quite humorously: "Today's state does not feel particularly good, but looking at the trophy of the women's competition in front, I want to take one myself!" ”
