On the afternoon of the 3rd, the opening match of the women's ice hockey group stage of the Beijing Winter Olympics was played between China and the Czech Republic, and finally the Chinese team lost the first game to the Czech Republic with a score of 1-3, but the tenacious performance of the players still left a deep impression on the audience. For the female ice captain Yu Baiwei, no matter how the game is won or lost, her dream of twelve years has finally been realized at the doorstep of her home, and in the interview after the game, she said that she finished the game with tears.
Ice hockey is not a popular sport in the mainland, but after women's ice hockey became an official event of the Winter Olympics in 1998, the Chinese team won the fourth place in its first competition, just one step away from the podium. Subsequently, the performance of Chinese women's ice skating has been fluctuating until the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, Yu Baiwei appeared as a young player, and the Chinese team won the seventh place at the Winter Games.
However, what the young Yu Baiwei at that time may not have thought was that China had failed to impact the 2014 and 2018 Winter Olympics twice in a row, until this year's 2002 Beijing Winter Olympics, she was successfully shortlisted as the host, and she stepped on the Winter Olympics for the first time, and the Winter Olympics was separated from the Winter Olympics for 12 years, and she also became the captain of the heavy responsibility from the original young and young, and she never gave up her pursuit of the Winter Olympics.
As the only post-80s in the team, Yu Baiwei has the delicacy and gentleness of a big sister, she said that in addition to focusing on on-field training, she also needs to pay attention to the living conditions and mental outlook of the players, and has more responsibilities and responsibilities. In the interview, Yu Baiwei showed the softest part of his heart: "When I first stepped on the ice rink today, in fact, tears swirled in my eyes, and many pictures appeared in front of my eyes."
This Winter Olympics, the Chinese women's ice and Japan, the Czech Republic, Sweden, Denmark were divided into Group B, of which Japan, the Czech Republic, Sweden are ranked in the top ten in the world, while Denmark is eleventh, the Chinese team ranks twentieth, from the international ranking point of view, the Chinese team encountered strong enemies. However, Yu Baiwei did not think so, as a "veteran" to stick to the field, she has been waiting for the day when the Chinese team really grows and transforms, and will also lead the team to do her best to play every game.
