This Winter Olympics, the Chinese women's ice hockey team group is very unfavorable, the same group of opponents Czech Republic, Sweden are the world's top ten teams, while the Danish team is ranked 11th, in contrast, the Chinese team ranked 20th in the world, can be said that each is a strong enemy, every game is a vicious battle. However, after losing 3-1 to the Czech Republic in the first match, the Chinese women's ice girls played tenacious and scored three goals in a row in the second round to reverse Denmark with a score of 3-1 and win the Winter Olympics for the first time in 12 years.
As one of the many naturalized team members, female ice goalkeeper Zhou Jiaying also burst into tears in an interview after the game, choked up several times, and expressed his excitement very proudly: "I am really grateful to be able to represent the Chinese team and win the game, I am really proud." ”
Interestingly, when the Chinese ice hockey team issued a previous order to seek talent and look for excellent ice hockey players, Zhou Jiaying and her parents, who received the invitation, once thought that this was a scam, and she and her family, who have been living in Canada, are not particularly familiar with the current situation of ice hockey in China. Fortunately, in the end, after mediation and full communication from many parties, Zhou Jiaying successfully joined the Chinese nationality and became a member of the women's ice team.
Previously, Zhou Jiaying represented Canada in the U18 World Championships, and won the championship of the current tournament, and was also selected into the world's best team, and its strength is naturally beyond doubt. Another important reason for her excitement after winning the first victory in Chinese women's ice is that she suffered a broken left ankle in November last year and almost missed this Year's Beijing Winter Olympics, so the tears are still full of happiness.
Many netizens have questioned too many naturalized players when they saw the Chinese ice hockey team roster before, and everyone is speculating whether the naturalized players will have a strong sense of national honor and national consciousness like the local players. Now it seems that everyone does not have to worry about this at all, Zhou Jiaying's happy tears are the best answer, there are such players, why worry about Chinese ice hockey does not rise!
