At the level of China's ice and snow sports competition, the partial phenomenon of "ice strong and weak snow" has existed for a long time. But this snow season ahead of the Beijing Winter Olympics, that situation is changing from a new one. For the first time, China has athletes who have the strength to compete for medals in three snow sports; for the first time, a male athlete has the strength to be on the world's podium in the snowboard jump and slope obstacle courses. Coupled with their relaxed mentality and noble pursuit of gold medals. All this makes people look forward to their performance at the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Gu Ailing leads the cutting-edge generation to achieve breakthroughs
This week, with the arrival of Gu Ailing in Beijing, the Gu Ailing boom was also blown into the Winter Olympic Village. As the model worker who registered the most for freestyle skiing at the Winter Olympics, Gu Ailing has brought more heat to China's ice and snow sports. This is also what Gu Ailing has been looking forward to, using his own achievements to transform his influence, help absorb more young forces, and help China's ice and snow sports achieve breakthroughs with the Beijing Winter Olympics.
At the beginning of the new season, Gu Ailing, who returned from injury, beautifully completed the front flip for two weeks and four weeks in the debut of the season, winning his first World Cup big jump championship. It was her best result in her big jump side event. It can be said that Gu Ailing has embarked on a completely different growth path.
In the field of freestyle skiing, Gu Ailing's training style is completely different from the traditional training of the national team. That is to pursue efficiency, rather than exchanging a lot of time for training results. Before the age of 18, Gu Ailing needs to focus on her studies, and only winter and summer vacations can train during the year. When she came to Chongli Genting Ski Resort to participate in the U-shaped field competition at the age of 16, Gu Ailing told the Beijing Youth Daily reporter that the time she practiced the U-shaped venue in a year was only dozens of hours before the competition, adapting to the venue. Because there is no U-shaped trough field in the snow field in front of the house.
Whenever he encounters suitable training conditions, Gu Ailing will cherish it extra. During the summer vacation, when she can't ski on the snow, she will find air cushion equipment, trampoline training, explore new technical essentials, and go to the snow field to complete this action during the winter vacation. Gu Ailing once said that she would think about this action in her head in advance and strive for a success in training.
Gu Ailing's big jump forward flip for two weeks plus the 1440 action for four turns is what she groped in this year's pre-season training. At that time, Gu Ailing had no coaching team around her, only her mother. She was groping for training on the Austrian ski slopes, and her mother filmed her. Since no female player has completed this action, Gu Ailing sent the training video to the coach and friends to let them "cloud guidance". After about three weeks of training like this, Gu Ailing unlocked the move and successfully completed it in the Big Jump World Cup, winning the gold medal. Since then, Gu Ailing has won consecutive championships in the World Cup U-shaped field project, lifting the annual championship crystal ball of the project, thus becoming the most dazzling new sharp of the Chinese Snow Army.
But the Winter Olympics are, after all, the top event, attracting the top athletes to compete for gold medals. At the Beijing Winter Olympics, Gu Ailing will participate in three competitions: freestyle ski jumping, U-shaped pool and slope obstacle course, and she will also face many strong contenders after gathering these three World Cup champions. I believe that Gu Ailing, who has a large heart, coupled with the blessing of the home field of the time and place, is fully powerful and possible to realize his dream.
Gu Ailing once said that she learned that China will vigorously popularize mass ice and snow sports, and is determined to help add another fire to China's ice and snow sports by participating in the Beijing Winter Olympics, and drive more women to explore their potential. I believe that her dream will be spread on the platform of the Beijing Winter Olympics, so that China's ice and snow sports will be taken to a higher level.
Su Yiming is a valuable breakthrough
Snowboarding is a sport that belongs to young people, and the new talents unremittingly pursue difficult actions to continuously improve the level of snowboarding. Su Yiming is the breakthroughist who has taken China's men's snowboarding to new heights. At the Beijing Winter Olympics, Su Yiming is expected to push China's snow sports to a new height on this larger platform.
Being able to rank among the world's top in the snowboarding with strong opponents, Su Yiming is "fierce" enough for himself. In the national team, Su Yiming's training is extremely hard. Usually, in training, he will race against the clock when he goes up and down the slopes, in order to skate a few more times than others, and practice new moves.
In order to try new moves, he once slipped three pairs of snowboards in more than a month. With the unimaginable perseverance of ordinary people, Su Yiming successfully unlocked the 1800-degree difficult action of reversing the foot for five weeks this season. This move also allowed Su Yiming to win the World Cup gold medal and become the world's top player in the project.
At the Beijing Winter Olympics, Su Yiming will participate in two events: snowboard jumping and snowboard slope obstacle course. These two events are also newcomers to the Winter Olympics family. Veneer slope obstacle course entered the Sochi Winter Olympics in 2014, and the snowboard big jumper only became an official event at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.
This young sport gave young Su Yiming the opportunity to break through. Su Yiming started skiing at the age of 4 and became one of the top snowboarders in China at the age of 12. In June 2018, at the age of 14, he decided to become a professional snowboarder. Su Yiming studied under the famous Japanese championship coach Yasuhiro Sato. Because of the epidemic, he mostly communicates with the coach in the form of videos, and then slowly trains his movements in the snow field. From March 2020, Su Yiming has continuously unlocked difficulty moves. He took the lead in completing the first three-week flip body 1620 degree action in China, to finally breaking through the world's first internal rotation body 1980, that is, the five-week and half-grasping action of the inward rotation body. After insisting on it for 3 years, Su Yiming finally achieved a breakthrough.
Su Yiming believes that he is a down-to-earth person. As he said to other teenagers who want to embark on the professional skiing path: "Love, but also step by step to make progress." This way you will be safer and more effective in progressing. "When it comes to the Beijing Winter Olympics, Su Yiming also hopes that he can be down-to-earth and complete his goals step by step." I hope to play my best at the Beijing Winter Olympics and win glory for the country. Su Yiming said.
Ren Ziwei is looking forward to realizing the dream of gold medal in his personal project
Ren Ziwei, as one of the most "hot" members of the current Chinese men's short track speed skating team, is naturally fully prepared for the upcoming Beijing Winter Olympics, although he is no longer a fledgling youngster, but 4 years ago regretted and personal project podium passed by, of course, he hopes to be able to complete another surpass in Beijing 4 years later. He had won the Olympic silver medal in the relay event with his teammates before, and now what he needs to do is to win a gold medal in the individual event.
Does he have that ability? There is no doubt that it is. As the most outstanding member of the Chinese short track speed skating team this season, Ren Ziwei is the best one, whether it is his main 1500 meters event, or the sub-event 1000 meters, or the team relay event, as long as ren Ziwei participates in the competition, it seems that the Chinese team is one of the most powerful contenders for the championship, which in the previous Chinese men's team, only Wu Dajing can do this. Now, he has one more good helper by his side, that is, Ren Ziwei, and in terms of performance alone, Ren Ziwei's performance in recent months has surpassed that of his brother Wu Dajing.
If it is more appropriate to use "handsome and can play" to describe basketball players who perform well, then it is reasonable to put "handsome and slippery" on Ren Ziwei. In Pyeongchang in 2018, when he was a fledgling, he once broke the Olympic record in the men's 500 meters competition, but did not qualify for the final, and after several years of tempering, the current Ren Ziwei is not only more capable in appearance than then, but also has a qualitative improvement in strength, especially in the men's 1500 meters that he is best at, it is even more like no man's land, from the 2020 short track speed skating Dresden battle station competition to break the Koreans' long monopoly on the project, Ren Ziwei seemed to have embarked on a special journey, whether it was a domestic or international competition, it was difficult to find opponents, and finally ranked first in the world to enter the list of the Winter Olympics.
This time in the Capital Gymnasium, the second time to go to the Olympics he will launch an impact on the gold medal in the personal event, with the experience of 4 years ago as the basis, now Ren Ziwei is more aware of how to do to get closer to the podium, closer to the gold medal, as the absolute leader of the young generation of the Chinese short track speed skating team, Ren Ziwei If he can successfully win a gold medal, then for his career, it is definitely a heavy stroke, and for the Chinese short track speed skating men's team, Ren Ziwei's main middle and long distance project also needs such an Olympic champion to continue to inspire everyone's motivation.
"Newcomer" Ning Zhongyan's speed of ascension was gratifying
Compared with Gao Tingyu, who has won in the last Winter Olympics, Ning Zhongyan's name seems to be more unfamiliar, but if you want to talk about the overall state and performance of the recent year, the person who has performed better on the Chinese speed skating men's team must be younger him, at this Winter Olympics, on the speed skating field, this young man from Mudanjiang is expected to surprise people, and the speed of his recent jump is really unexpected.
When the time returned to the 2019 Speed Skating World Cup Kazakhstan station, Ning Zhongyan, who was not very famous at the time, unexpectedly won the championship in the men's 1500 meters, and the 1 minute 44.918 time also broke the record of the venue, this time, he not only became the first Chinese male athlete to win the world championship of the project, but also let himself enter everyone's vision and became the focus of media attention. As we all know, the overall strength of China's speed skating is not particularly prominent, and the experience of winning medals in past world championships is not rich, let alone gold medals, and that time, Ning Zhongyan successfully achieved a breakthrough of zero, and also made himself an object of attention in the Beijing Winter Olympic cycle.
Generally speaking, pressure and motivation are tied together, after the results, the attention increased at the same time, Ning Zhongyan also felt the pressure on the body, the past competition, the opponent did not study him enough, and in the past two years, after he jumped to the leader of the project, the outside world began to make special arrangements for him, which also made Ning Zhongyan encounter some challenges. But these after one hard training and one difficult game after another, have been conquered by Ning Zhongyan, just ended this season, Ning Zhongyan in the 4 speed skating World Cup sub-station, won 3 gold and 2 silver results, and the crowned champion project is not only his main event 1500 meters, men's 1000 meters and team chase events, he is also involved, which is definitely good news for the Chinese speed skating team.
In the upcoming Winter Olympic Games, Ning Zhongyan has also become a potential gold point, and some media predict that the possibility of him winning a gold medal is actually greater than that of Gao Tingyu, who has had an Olympic experience. As a young man who grew up in the Beijing Winter Olympic cycle and gradually achieved results, Ning Zhongyan naturally did not miss the opportunity to fight at the doorstep of his home, and according to him, although he had a number of competition tasks, he still hoped to compare the 1500 meters first, and once the results were ideal, it would also help him better devote himself to other projects. At the Beijing Winter Olympics, I look forward to the good performance of this young man who has soared at a gratifying speed.
