After the game, the Chinese female ice goalkeeper couldn't stop crying: I am very proud to represent China

On February 4, in the second round of women's ice hockey at the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chinese women's ice hockey team scored three goals in a row after falling behind by one goal, beating Denmark 3-1 to win the first winter Olympics in 12 years since the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

In this game, the Chinese female ice guard is Zhou Jiaying, who was naturalized back to China, her mother was born in China, and later immigrated to Canada, and her father Nicholas was once an ice hockey goalkeeper.

As a female inheritor, as a bachelor of economics and finance from Princeton University, Zhou Jiaying fractured her left ankle last November and almost couldn't participate in the Winter Olympics, so she shed tears of happiness after the game.

In the mixed interview area, Zhou Jiaying choked up several times, tears running down her cheeks: "I played in China for 4 years, and then I was injured last November, I want to thank the leaders and coaches, they have always believed that I can, so I am very excited." ”

"I'm really grateful to be able to represent China and win the race, and I'm very proud."

It is said that when China wanted to find good hockey players, Zhou Jiaying once thought it was a scam, after all, she and her family did not know much about Chinese women's ice hockey when she grew up in Canada.

Zhou Jiaying, who represented Canada at the U18 World Championship and won the world's best team goalkeeper, was reinstated in 2018 and joined the national club in China.

Due to the epidemic, Zhou Jiaying's family can only watch her game in Canada, the United States and Hangzhou.

Zhou Jiaying said: "They have been supporting me and helping me, because I finally competed in the Olympic Games in Beijing, for China, for the country where my mother was born." ”
