Beijing, 2 Feb (China News Service) -- For Liu Jiayu and Cai Xuetong, who are also "veterans of the Four Dynasties" of the Winter Olympics, The ability to stand on the field of the Beijing Winter Olympics in itself means breaking through oneself and challenging the limits.

In particular, Liu Jiayu, the runner-up of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, who is about to turn 30. She has undergone surgery three times in the past decade, and she is still injured, and when talking about the goals of the Winter Olympics, she cautiously said, "Regardless of whether the final result is good or bad, I feel that I can do a good job in the moment and enjoy the moment."

From the "genius girl" of Chinese snowboarding to the veteran of the battlefield, Liu Jiayu has cut through thorns and thorns and lit the spark of stars. Her growth story is the epitome of China's veneer from weak to strong and among the world's first-class levels.

Four years ago at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, Liu Jiayu's perseverance and dedication finally condensed into a precious silver medal, creating history, she left her iconic smile in the cold wind of Phoenix Snow Park. In order to pursue higher heights, she chose to start again during the Beijing Winter Olympics cycle.

Cai Xuetong, who will also participate in the Winter Olympics for the fourth time, has just won the 2021-2022 Snowboard World Cup Women's U-Shaped Venue Championship, which is also her seventh annual championship. As the undisputed top master of the snowboard U-shaped pool, Cai Xuetong is only one Winter Olympic gold medal away from achieving the "Grand Slam".

The first three Winter Olympics have not been on the podium, and in the face of the upcoming Beijing Winter Olympics, Cai Xuetong, who is now ranked no. 1 in the world, hopes to face it with a more relaxed attitude and leave no regrets. "My goal is to show all the moves I want to accomplish at the Winter Olympics."

Affected by the epidemic last season, the Chinese snowboard U-shaped team failed to go abroad to participate in the international snow league, resulting in missing many Winter Olympic points. This season, the team regrouped and finally won 4 women and 3 men in the project a total of 7 Winter Olympic places. In addition to Liu Jiayu and Cai Xuetong, women's team members Qiu Leng and Wu Shaotong and the men's team's Wang Ziyang, Gu Ao, and Fan Xuebing will also play together.

However, at the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chinese team is still surrounded by strong enemies. Pyeongchang Winter Olympic champion Chloe King is in hot form, and Spain's veteran Castellet has also been on the World Cup podium several times. The world's top athletes are about to stage a short and exciting showdown at Genting Ski Park.

From the Vancouver Winter Olympics to the Beijing Winter Olympics, Liu Jiayu and Cai Xuetong, the "Chinese single board double sisters", have joined hands in the Winter Olympic journey many times. This time, they are not only fighting for the first gold medal for the Chinese Snowboard Olympics, but also for their dreams.

Turning his gaze to the Shougang Ski Jump, China's "post-00s" young player Su Yiming single-handedly made the snowboard jump a new attraction for the Chinese Winter Olympics.

At the end of last year, at the International Snow Federation Grand Jumping World Cup sub-station held in Colorado, usa, Su Yiming won the first World Cup gold medal in the Chinese snowboarding big jump event with excellent and stable performance, and also won the overall championship of the Big Jump World Cup.

In October last year, Su Yiming successfully challenged the difficult action of turning the 1980-degree grab board inside while preparing for the training camp in Stubai, Austria, becoming the first athlete in the world to complete this action. Guinness World Records also announced that Su Yiming was certified for this breakthrough.

At the age of 17, Su Yiming shouldered the heavy responsibility of "opening up the territory and expanding the territory" of the Chinese Winter Olympic Team in the snowboard jump. Before the big war, the teenager still dared to fight, "regardless of success or failure, always towards the first position on the podium, launch an attack."

Like Su Yiming, more and more young snowboarders are gradually picking up the girder of their projects. At the Beijing Winter Olympics snowboard slalom chase, Yongqing Ram from Tibet became the only participant in the Chinese team in the event.

In addition to "young", cross-border cross-item is also a distinctive label on the body of Qing ram. Once a footballer, she is now on the rise to the ranks of snowboarders. The upcoming Beijing Winter Olympics will be a good opportunity for Yang Qinglam to achieve transformation.

For a long time, freestyle skiing aerial skills have been the "unipolar" of Chinese snow sports in the Winter Olympics, and their achievements are unparalleled. Since the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics achieved a new breakthrough, the "combination of old and new" Chinese snowboarding is expected to build a "dual-core" pattern for Chinese snow at the "doorstep".
