In a few days, Beijing, the first "city of the Two Olympics" in the history of the Olympic Games, will dedicate a wonderful, extraordinary and outstanding Olympic event for guests from all over the world, and athletes from all over the world are looking forward to showing their heroic appearance in this ice and snow feast. For Chinese ice and snow athletes, this "doorstep" ice and snow event is of great significance, looking back at the road of preparation, countless "zero breakthroughs" have built a historic breakthrough in China's Winter Olympics. In the process of many projects in China's ice and snow from scratch, the surging youth power of the "post-00s" young generals is surging with passion. With their high fighting spirit, tenacious style and exquisite skills, they have demonstrated the spirit of never giving up, having the courage to fight and striving to be the first, and also highlighting the calmness, self-confidence and vitality of young people in the new era.
Gu Ailing led the "post-00s" to appear
Many freestyle skiing events are new, and they have only entered the big family of the Winter Olympics in recent winter olympics, so they are deeply loved by young people. In the 13 minor events of freestyle skiing, many of the Chinese athletes participating in the Beijing Winter Olympics are "post-00s".

The Chinese team achieved full participation in the Beijing Winter Olympics in the freestyle skiing U-shaped venue, 4 male and 4 female athletes are "post-00s", Gu Ailing, born in 2003, will be in the Beijing Winter Olympics "three-line combat", she will participate in the freestyle skiing U-shaped field, slope obstacle course and big jumping three events. Gu Ailing was lively and cheerful under the field, full of confidence on the field, showing the vigor and youthful strength of contemporary Young People in China. The world's first female athlete to complete the "freestyle ski forward flip for two weeks plus four weeks of rotation", winning 6 championships in 37 days... Gu Ailing has a lot of glory and medals. But behind these achievements, Gu Ailing has had too many unknown efforts and sweat. Talking only about talent is not fair to Gu Ailing. Since the adventure of starting the freestyle skiing world at the age of 8, Gu Ailing has to travel to and from the ski resort on weekends, so she is used to eating in the car, writing homework, changing clothes, "I always have a sense of balance and time management, I want to seize every second of my life." 」 Gu Ailing said that if it is not really loved, it will not be created. For her, every time she seemed effortless, behind it was a desperate effort over and over again.
Born in 2001, Shao Qi, a freestyle skiing aerial skill athlete who grew up in the Beijing Winter Olympic cycle, finished runner-up in the first leg of the 2021-2022 World Cup, ranked 6th in the season standings, and also qualified for the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Born in 2003, Ran Hongyun became the first Chinese athlete to participate in the freestyle ski tracking event at the Winter Olympics, and the 19-year-old Ran Hongyun entered the national training team in June 2018 through cross-border cross-discipline. In 2012, the young general went to Henan Tagou Martial Arts School to learn martial arts and learn martial arts routines for 6 years.
In addition to Gu Ailing, youngster Yang Shuorui will also participate in the Winter Olympics for the first time in 2004. In January 2020, Yang Shuorui won the fourth place in the Women's Freestyle Skiing Women's Big Jump competition at the Winter Youth Olympic Games in Lausanne, Switzerland.
The youngster broke the record and shone brightly
The overall strength of the Chinese team in the snowboard big jump event was not outstanding, but the "post-00s" young player Su Yiming wrote the history of China's snowboard big jump project last year. In December 2021, Su Yiming won the snowboard big jump world cup at the Steamboat Station in the United States, which was his first international competition champion, the first World Cup champion of The Chinese snowboard big jump, and the first World Cup champion of Chinese men's snowboarding. With a stable overall performance, Su Yiming also won the snowboarding world cup championship in a record-
Su Yiming
On October 28 last year, su Yiming successfully challenged the difficult movement of Bs1980 Indy Crail (internal rotation 1980 degree grab board) in preparation for the Beijing Winter Olympics in the Stubai training camp in Austria, becoming the first athlete in the world to complete this action. Guinness World Records announced on the official account on January 22 that Su Yiming's breakthrough was certified. Su Yiming forwarded the message, writing: "It is an honor to be certified by the Guinness Book of Records. I am fortunate to be born in this era, as long as I devote myself to my love, hard work will definitely be rewarded! And each of us has our own unique light, unremitting efforts, the future there are more world records waiting for us to create. ”
The 17-year-old Su Yiming is lively, cheerful and confident, and he has more composure and concentration than his peers. He said that I like challenges, and success is certainly good, but failure can also make me learn some lessons. Even in the face of injuries, he always faces them with a positive attitude. "Regardless of success or failure, always attack towards the first position on the podium." On the road to pursue dreams, the enthusiastic teenager dared to fight and dare to break through.
After "00", the breakthrough of "zero" is supported
Ski jumping and Nordic biathlon have long been difficult problems for mainland snow sports, but at the Beijing Winter Olympics, Chinese athletes will compete for the first time in the ski jumping mixed team standard platform, nordic men's individual standard platform +10 km, and men's individual standard platform +10 km.
The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics ski jumping Chinese team won a total of 1 male and 2 women with a total of 3 qualifications, can participate in 4 small events, and achieved a historical breakthrough in the number of people who qualified for the Olympic Games, of which the women's ski jumper Dong Bing and the 17-year-old young player Peng Qingyue were shortlisted for two qualifications, and the men won 1 host chair, and Song Qiwu, a "post-00s" young general from Sichuan, will be selected for the competition. According to the combination of ski jumping and Nordic biathlon, Chinese players participating in nordic bi-sports competitions can participate in mixed team competitions together, so the Chinese team can participate in the remaining 4 sub-events except the men's team.

Three years ago, when he came into contact with ski jumping from athletics, Song Qiwu, who was afraid of heights, felt that "he could survive" during training, and now 18 years old, he is about to represent the Chinese ski jumping team to "fly" in the Beijing Winter Olympics. From fear of heights to love "flying", 3 years of time let the boy grow into a brave.
Like Song Qiwu, Peng Qingyue also joined the ski jumping team through cross-border cross-item selection. Peng Qingyue, who has a cheerful and lively personality, is the youngest member of the team, born in 2004 because of her small stature and low weight, she still uses youth snowboards in competitions. Although she is young, but in the training Peng Qingyue is very hard, never lazy, will be based on their own situation to practice, after participating in international competitions, many coaches in other countries praised her quite talented, is a very potential athlete.
Nordic biathlon set up three sub-events at the Beijing Winter Olympics, all of which were men's events. Born in 2001, Zhao Jiawen will represent China's Nordic biathlon for the first time on the Winter Olympic stage.
Born in 2001, Zhao Jiawen began cross-country skiing training at the age of 12, and in 2017, he entered the Nordic two-sport training team through cross-discipline selection, taking into account cross-country skiing and ski jumping. In November 2021, in the Nordic Biathlon Intercontinental Cup competition held in Russia, Zhao Jiawen won the 22nd place in the men's individual standard platform + 10 km cross-country skiing, and successfully qualified for the Beijing Winter Olympics. Nordic biathlon has almost strict requirements for athletes' explosiveness and endurance, and is considered one of the most difficult snow sports, and it is even more difficult to get a ticket to the Winter Olympics. Zhao Jiawen's way of getting the ticket for the Winter Olympics is "fighting", "practice hard, practice harder, practice more than others, only by doing your best will you not regret it." Zhao Jiawen said.
Participate in the whole project with the "collision" of youth
At the Beijing Winter Olympics, the three projects of bobsleigh, bobsleigh and steel frame snowmobile achieved full participation. From a blank space to the realization of "full project participation", we have only spent less than 7 years, which is the result of cross-border cross-item selection of materials to "make up for shortcomings", and it is also a group of "post-00s" and "post-00s" young people who bravely "fight" medals.
Snowmobiles, sleds and steel frame snowmobiles are one of the most dangerous projects, and even steel frame snowmobiles were once "removed" from the Winter Olympics because they were too dangerous. At the Beijing Winter Olympics, All four of China's major sledding events were qualified for the first time. Three sub-events, including women's single snowmobile, women's double snowmobile, and women's steel frame snowmobile, are also participating for the first time.
Zhao Dan
"Post-00s" youngster Zhao Dan ranked first in the overall score with her outstanding performance in the steel frame snowmobile domestic selection competition, and will participate in the women's single competition of the Beijing Winter Olympics, where she previously won the championship at the Intercontinental Cup of the International Steel Frame Snowmobile Federation in Innsbruck, Austria.
Bobsleigh athlete Wang Peixuan, born in 2000, finished 25th in the main event of the World Cup in Sochi, making a new breakthrough in the Chinese bobsleigh women's single event.
Peng Junyue, a "post-00s" youngster from Guangdong, was a basketball player before he touched the sled. Peng Junyue said that when he first started practicing sledding, he did not once smoothly slide the entire track, either rolling over or falling. In order to communicate more with foreign teachers to improve his technical ability, he trained during the day and learned English at night. "I have a clearer mind now than I did when I first started training, and I'm more comfortable on the sled."
