Echo the "Beijing 8 Minutes" of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics! Roller skating elicits the Olympic motto

"Tribute to the People" also contains a wonderful roller skating performance, echoing the "Beijing 8 Minutes" at the closing ceremony of the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. Twenty-four students from Beijing Sport University drew smooth, intertwined lines on the floor screen, "like a runway and like a Chinese knot," which led to the Olympic maxim of "faster, higher, stronger — more united."

The action design of roller skating is difficult. The music for this performance uses the soothing song "Imagine", but also to show youthful vitality, and after several screenings, the current choreography is integrated into the hip-hop style. "The way sports students exert their power is stereotyped, but hip-hop needs to have a very flexible control over every muscle." Tao Wenting explained that while the upper limbs make a very powerful street dance movement, the actors also have to maintain a speed of about 1 meter per second under their feet, "which is actually a contradictory state." "Recently, beijing has been snowing again, the ground is slippery, and the actors need to redouble their practice, exercise coordination, and explore the rhythm of the movements.
