With less than half a month to go before the opening of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, people's attention and enthusiasm for ice and snow sports are slowly igniting. At present, it is the winter vacation, and many children in the island city use the holiday time to come to the indoor ice rink to enjoy the special fun brought by ice and snow sports.
On January 23, many children experienced the joy of skating in the ice-filled Vientiane Ice Rink in Qingdao MixC. Although it is a weekend break, it is difficult to see the "big friends" on the ice rink except for a few coaches, and all you can see is the children circling back and forth here. According to the requirements of the ice rink, the children are sliding in a counterclockwise direction. Some children have just touched skating, and need to be coached to take them hand in hand to take them to slide; some children have a certain foundation, they can travel independently along the outer circle; some children are "exquisite", not only can slide freely, but also can make flowing and flexible movements on the ice, sometimes raising their legs and arms, sometimes rotating and vacating, a series of "ice dances" make the audience around the ice rink give a thumbs up. The reporter saw at the scene that during weekends and holidays, the ice rink has a single ticket of 100 yuan for 3 hours, and there are also other forms of time tickets, in addition to activities such as skating winter camps that are more systematic.
On the ice rink, there are many girls. Many parents feel that if girls learn to skate well, it will help them develop a stretched posture and elegant temperament from an early age. Mr. Bai, a citizen, brought his daughter to the ice rink to skate that day, the children played in the ice rink, and he chatted with his friends who came with him. "Other things that can be played by children have been exposed, skating is a relatively fresh sport, I want to take children to feel the feeling." Mr. Bai introduced that there are not many indoor large ice rinks in the city, and he has paid attention to this ice rink since its opening. Now he has given his daughter a per-click skating card, and the child has experienced it here more than a dozen times. Skating can shape a child's body, but Mr. Bai pays more attention to the tempering of his daughter's will quality. When he first learned to skate, he watched his daughter fall down again and again, and he got up from the ice again and again, hoping to use skating to let her know to face setbacks and challenge herself.
As the Beijing Winter Olympics approached, parents said their children's understanding of the winter ice and snow program was not only stuck in the TV, but also had a more personal experience. Some parents hope that through this Winter Olympics held at the "doorstep", children can love ice and snow sports more and cultivate their feelings of home and country.
