Excerpts:

Ice knives shine in the ice rink

At the end of 1991, Ye Qiaobo went to Seoul, South Korea to participate in the World Speed Skating Competition, and when she was training on the ice at four o'clock in the afternoon before the race, the ice knife under her feet suddenly flew out, and people flew out of the ice. In the hazy night, Liu Jun, a translator of the International Department of the State Sports Commission, quickly took her to the auto repair shop, and the repairman said: "I can repair the car, not the knife." ”

At that time, China was not rich, buy a pair of ice knife shoes for more than 2,000 yuan, and buy a pair of ice knife tubes for more than 500 yuan, ice knife shoes are broken Ye Qiaobo did not frequently change ice knife shoes, but changed ice knife tubes to save money. At that time, Chinese athletes did not have spare skates, she only brought a pair of skates to South Korea to compete, skaters must use their familiar skates skates, in South Korea even if the quality is good can not be used. She borrowed welding and soldering and clumsily soldered the ice knife tube. The next morning, she won two gold medals in the women's speed skating 500 meters and 1000 meters in her welded skates.

Soon to prepare for the Winter Olympics, the leader of the National Sports Commission said: "You can't wear this old pair of skates, buy you a new pair." ”

She strongly disagreed. This time not to save money, but to familiarize yourself with the skates. The ice knife rubs against the ice surface and wears a lot, and athletes have to sharpen the ice knife once or twice a day. The welding of the ice knife was an extremely rare thing, and It was caught up by Qiao Bo during a training session to adapt to the venue the afternoon before the world competition in Seoul, South Korea.

When welding ice knives in auto repair shops, Qiao Bo kept one thing in mind: the butt holder and blade must be at a 90-degree vertical angle, and even a 0.1 mm hair filament error will cause the taxi to deviate from the direction or even fall. In the absence of machine measurements, Qiao Bo relies on ice knives, slides,

The realization of the unity of the body, hard to wear his own welded skate shoes, won two gold medals in the world competition the next day. She also wore these scarred skate shoes, achieving a breakthrough of zero medals in the Winter Olympics for China.

The cavalry loves war horses, And Jobo loves ice skates, and only by loving them to the bone can she freely drive it across the ice rink.
