Relay! From summer to winter
At the Gymnastics arena at the Tokyo Olympics, Tang Xijing, silver medalist on the balance beam, displayed a badge bearing the emblem of the Beijing Winter Olympics. Her smile and emblem are captured on camera, showing the world the confidence, hospitality and enthusiasm of her hosts. "I actually want to say that you can do what you think you can, do your best to complete it, and leave no regrets."
This is the relay between the "East Olympics" and the "Winter Olympics", and Chinese athletes in different arenas work together to pursue their dreams and move towards the future.
In Tang Xijing's predecessor Guo Xinxin, he can also feel this force that belongs to Chinese sports.
From gymnastics and trampolines to freestyle skiing aerial skills, Guo Xinxin became one of the early athletes to reach the Olympic arena through "cross-border cross-sports". She won the bronze medal at the Vancouver Winter Olympics, and she also looks forward to the dreams of more Chinese athletes who have come to realize their dreams.
In the process of accumulating strength from summer to winter, the Chinese delegation completed the task of "participating in all projects" in 7 major events and 15 sub-events, and the Beijing Winter Olympics became the largest Winter Olympic Games in the history of Chinese sports delegations. Ice and snow athletes are looking forward to continuing the excitement in winter.
To win! But it's not just about winning
The Olympic flame once again bloomed with the "Chinese Red", and every participant looked forward to handing over a satisfactory answer. For athletes, the standard answer to this questionnaire may not be simpler – win! But it's not just about winning or losing.
Sun Dandan sent the most "simple" wish to the athletes: "I hope that players from all over the world can achieve good results in the competition, and I hope that Chinese athletes can achieve good results at their doorstep and win glory for the motherland." ”
This wish was also given to herself. Now she is the coach of the Hong Kong short track team, leading her disciples to compete at their doorstep: "I hope that the athletes in Hong Kong, China can show themselves on this stage and play at their best level." ”

Guo Xinxin also made a different interpretation of the "hero": "It is better to get a medal, and I do not regret not getting a medal, because I have worked hard, and I will not regret it when I work hard." As long as you have made your own contribution to the development of the project, I think it is more important than winning a medal. ”
"I hope that our athletes can continue to maintain their form, not affected by injuries, overcome unexpected challenges, and work towards the goal of raising the national flag and playing the national anthem, I think everyone will recognize you and understand you." China's first men's Winter Olympic medalist Li Jiajun expected so.
The more inclusive sports concept reflects the firm self-confidence of belonging to the sports powerhouse, which will also be the most true and moving Chinese story told at the Beijing Winter Olympic Games.
