Zhangjiakou, China Sports News, February 5 (Reporter Wang Hao) Gliding, jumping, leaping, landing... After a series of moves, 17-year-old Peng Qingyue made her Winter Olympic debut on February 5, and she finished 38th with a score of 63.5 points in the women's individual standard stage final of ski jumping, failing to advance to the second round. "I was not in a good state during public training, but today's game was not particularly tense, and I played my technical movements normally." After the game, Peng Qingyue commented on his performance. For her, the Beijing Winter Olympics are a starting point.
Peng Qingyue is one of the youngest players in the Chinese sports delegation, small in stature, light weight, due to the strict requirements for ski jumping equipment, the length and weight of the snowboard must be limited according to the height and weight of the players, so before the Beijing Winter Olympics, she also used youth snowboards, and recently changed into new equipment. "Now I also use shorter snowboards among adults." Peng Qingyue said.
When competing abroad, the young Peng Qingyue attracted the attention of many foreign players and coaches, who all said that she was very talented and potential. Three years ago, Peng Qingyue was a track and field athlete, and ski jumping was a very unfamiliar sport for her. After transferring to ski jumping through cross-border cross-discipline selection, Peng Qingyue's first test is to overcome fear, which is also the most difficult part she believes. And through hard work, when he really practiced to leap down from a high place, Peng Qingyue felt freedom and fell in love with ski jumping.
Starting from scratch, every step forward is not easy, but love is the best motivation. In 3 years, Peng Qingyue grew to have the strength to step on the international arena, and through unremitting efforts in the points competition, he qualified for the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Today, Peng Qingyue and her idol Slovenian player Nika Krizner are competing on the Stage of the Winter Olympics, who is also a "post-00s" youngster – coincidentally, when Krizner was 17 years old, she participated in her first Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, and now she has won a bronze medal in the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Four years is enough time to break a cocoon for a young player who failed to reach the podium. Today, Peng Qingyue is walking on his own road with the same ideals and love. "I'm going to keep going ski jumping because I love it so much. I hope that one day I can reach a certain level and win glory for the country. ”
