Curling, also known as ice skating, is a throwing competition on ice. Because of the need for wits and courage, it is also called "chess on ice" by many viewers. Originally originating in Scotland, the sport tests the physical and mental strength of the participants, showing the beauty of movement and the wisdom of trade-offs.
Ma Xiuyue, the fourth baseman of the Chinese men's curling, has excellent basic skills and is the strongest presence in the team. When Ma Xiuyue's father named his son, he originally used Ma Xiaoyue, which means unique jade and musical instruments.
Interestingly, curling in international competitions is made of mica-free Scottish natural granite, and each curling is worth about 10,000 yuan, and only Scotland controls the top technology of curling today.
Perhaps because of her father's name, Ma Xiuyue also formed an indissoluble relationship with curling. Even in the curling arena, he has his own posture. Through his own research, he found a way to minimize the exertion of force on the knee. The advantage this gives him is very obvious, ma Xiaoyue can throw a lot of balls in the game.
He was so strict with himself that he had to practice every day, pitching about 150 pots. Day after day of boring training, but also make people bored, in order to make themselves stick to it, Ma Xiaoyue will do some small hands and feet, so that he can continue to love the sport. For example, install small decorations on the brush, let your interest points come back, and can't wait to train on the ice.
After 10 years in the team, he has grown to become the oldest member of the national team. As a veteran who has witnessed the retirement of veterans along the way, when seeing new players, Ma Xiuyue will also share some of his training experience with latecomers on weekdays.
Especially in a somewhat less interesting moment like physical training, Ma Xiuyue will be particularly active, setting a good example for the small team members and working together.
Although he has been a veteran of the national team for more than 10 years, he said that his career plan is still very long, and this time he will go all out for the Winter Olympics at his doorstep, and he will also look forward to participating in more competitions in the future. In this process, "China Sports" is also ready to "dream of Beijing" with the majority of Chinese athletes.
