No. 102 Winter Olympics 100 Questions | What exactly does Su Yiming's 1620 mean?
In the snowboard men's slope steeplechase qualification competition, have you been amazed by the performance of Chinese post-00s snowboarder Su Yiming? 86.80 points! Ranked first! Show 1440 followed by 1260 and finally 1620 in the game!
So do you know what these numbers mean? And look at the following small science:
To distinguish these movements, we must first understand what is the front and back feet of the veneer. The foot located at the front of the snowboard during the process of personal comfort on the snowboard is the so-called front foot, the common foot, and the back foot is called the back foot. The previous sliding of the foot in front is the sliding of the right foot, and the subsequent sliding of the foot in front is called the anti-foot sliding.
By the way, if you want to know which of your front feet is, you can try to stand up for a long jump, after landing on the front foot is a large part of the front foot, of course, you also need to go to the snow to really experience it.
On February 6, the Beijing Winter Olympics Snowboarding Men's Steeplechase Qualification Tournament began, and Chinese teenager Su Yiming made his debut at the Winter Olympics. In the 28th place, he showed excellent competitive form, scoring a high score of 86.8 in the first round of qualifying, making a historic breakthrough in the final of the project.
Now let's get down to the point:
For example, in today's qualifiers, Su Yiming made a 1440 complete move as a "1440-degree grasp board for three weeks of reverse foot turning". This action means that the reverse foot jumps in front, the rotation body is instantly facing the mountain, and the air flip is three weeks while turning outward to the 1440-degree grasp plate.
Similarly, the action of "turning 1260 and 1620 inside" means that when jumping, the back is facing down the mountain, and the body is turned 1260 degrees or 1620 degrees.
To sum up, the "reverse foot" in these jargons means whether the feet used in the take-off are commonly used, while the "inside-out-turn" represents the body facing during the rotational movement, and the numbers 1260, 1440 represent the degree of rotation.
It is worth mentioning that Su Yiming successfully completed the super difficult "internal rotation 1980-degree grasp board" as early as in the past training, becoming the first athlete in the world to complete this action.
Finally, let's look forward to the final tomorrow at noon, where the Chinese youngsters can once again "sing". In addition, has everyone's Knowledge Base of the Winter Olympics been enriched again? Cheer for the Olympic athletes together in the comments section.
