Short track speed skater Wu Dajing:

Compete at home and compete for a good result

The 2021-2022 ISU Short Track Speed Skating World Cup in Beijing ended on October 24, and the Chinese short track speed skating team returned to the international arena after nearly two years. The famous player Wu Dajing and his teammates won the gold medal in the mixed 2000-meter relay event, showing a good competitive state.

Three years ago, at the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, Wu Dajing won the first gold medal in the history of the Winter Olympics for the Chinese short track speed skating team in the men's 500 meters final of short track speed skating with a world record. After the game, he glided on the field in a five-star red flag to celebrate. "This is a dream that every short-track person has ever had, and when the dream comes true, put on this flag and feel the power of the motherland so deeply." Wu Dajing said.

Walk off the podium and everything starts from scratch. When the horn of the new cycle of preparation sounded, Wu Dajing ushered in the most difficult one in his three Winter Olympic cycles. How to prevent and alleviate injuries, strengthen physical fitness, how to adjust the state, and cope with the "gap period" of the game are all problems in front of him. Wu Dajing believes that as long as there is firm conviction, the difficulties can be broken one by one. "The national flag on our chest is the 'engine' of our struggle, even if we suffer more, we must move forward with our heads held high and bravely climb the peak."

Since the successful bid for the Winter Olympics, China's ice and snow sports have achieved leapfrog development, and the vision of "driving 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports" is gradually moving towards reality. "Now, indoor ice rinks are blooming everywhere, children have better conditions to practice skating, and more and more people like and participate in ice and snow sports." This made Wu Dajing feel very excited.

In 100 days, Chinese ice and snow athletes will play at home at the Winter Olympics for the first time. "It means a lot to me." Wu Dajing is full of expectations: "I will definitely go all out, strive to break through myself, and strive to let the five-star red flag rise at the highest point of the arena." At the same time, it also hopes to inspire and drive more people to pay attention to and participate in ice and snow sports. ”

Wang Qingxiang, power manager of Zhangjiakou Awards Plaza:

Guarantee and preparation, full of energy

Autumn is in full swing, and the temperature during the day in Chongli has dropped to about 10 degrees Celsius. On the huge Zhangjiakou Competition Area Awards Square, Wang Qingxiang walked hurriedly, testing and debugging power facilities, and after a while, beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.

For low temperatures, Wang Qingxiang, as the power manager of zhangjiakou awards square, has long been accustomed to working in Chongli for more than two years, he once climbed the alpine operation at an altitude of 2160 meters in the cold winter, when the temperature was minus 40 degrees Celsius. "The strong wind made people unable to stand, but in order to complete the progress and ensure that the power facilities of the Winter Olympics were installed on time, no matter how big the difficulties were, they had to be overcome." Wang Qingxiang said.

Wang Qingxiang is also a "double Olympic person", in 2007, he was responsible for the installation and commissioning of substation distribution equipment at the National Aquatics Center "Water Cube". "To be able to participate in the construction of the Beijing Olympic Games, I feel particularly honorable and energetic." Wang Qingxiang and his colleagues worked intensively to complete the construction period ahead of schedule.

Participating in the preparation of the Beijing Winter Olympics allowed Wang Qingxiang to continue the frontier with the Olympic Games: "I provided an optimized power supply scheme for the Chongli Prince Town Ice and Snow Town Project a few years ago, and then I simply participated. ”
