Today's high-profile snowboarding genius Su Yiming ushered in his debut at the Beijing Winter Olympics, breaking into the final of snowboard slope obstacle course technology with excellent performance. Behind Su Yiming's highlights, do you think of Yang Wenlong, who has an internal flip in 1980, and do you think of Zhang Jiahao, a baker with no coach, no team, and no security.
Unlike Su Yiming and Yang Wenlong, he only began to contact skiing at the age of 17, and the others' 17 years old had already reached their peak, and he had just begun to learn to ski. In 2014, Zhang Jiahao, who had just studied snowboarding for two years, participated in his first race and finished ninth. That game can be said to have broken the window paper for Zhang Jiahao, with Zhang Jiahao winning the second place in the domestic group of the Bull Nanshan Open in 2015, with the success of Beijing's bid for the Winter Olympics, Zhang Jiahao has firmly determined the path he chose.
In 2016, the baker resigned from the hotel, which was a big decision for Zhang Jiahao, who had been arranged to live since childhood. In the same year, he was selected for the Heilongjiang Provincial Team. Also that year, he participated in his first international competition, and he began to have the idea of participating in the Beijing Winter Olympics.
"I want to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics, and my dream is to stand on the starting stage of the Beijing Winter Olympics." After saying his ultimate goal, there are encouragement, there are also many doubts, many people laugh at him as a madman, he always does not recognize these words, and silently tells himself in his heart, "I must prove myself to everyone." ”
His father, who once felt that he was not doing his job and fooling around, was also impressed by Zhang Jiahao's persistence and persistence. He became a die-hard fan of Zhang Jiahao, silently supporting Zhang Jiahao.
There are two ways to qualify for the Winter Olympics, one is to participate in the TOTAL RANKING of the FIS Points Competition, Intercontinental Cup, World Cup and World Championship in the top 30 in the world within the time limit stipulated by FIS, and at the same time, the points reach 50 points and the top 30 of a world championship. There is also a way, as the host of this Winter Olympics, China has a wild card quota, in the case of no domestic athletes to qualify for the Winter Olympics in this event, from the players with the top 30 results in the World Cup to select the highest FIS points. In order to win points, Zhang Jiahao qualified for the competition and participated in the competition all over the world.
At the 8-9 September 2021 FIS Series Points Race in Chile and the Chile Ski Championships, Zhang Jiahao won gold and bronze medals in the snowboard jump, silver and bronze medals in snowboard slope obstacle courses.
The victory in the Chilean race gave Zhang Jiahao great confidence and brought him one step closer to the Winter Olympics. "According to the international ski federation's system algorithm, I need to qualify for the World Cup by December. That means you have to have 100 FIS points, but only intercontinental Cup-level matches can put 100 points, so I'm going to go to the European Championships next time. Zhang Jiahao said.
On November 19, 2021, the FIS Veneer Slope Obstacle Course Points Race and the European Championships in Landgraf in the Netherlands, with Zhang Jiahao's landing did not stand firm, also announced Zhang Jiahao's failure to attack the Beijing Winter Olympics.
"Even if I didn't fulfill that dream, didn't get on the stage of the Winter Olympics, at least I gave it my all. In the future, I will also use my experience to help people with dreams to complete this dream. --Zhang Jiahao
Yes, anyone with a dream is amazing! I hope that Su Yiming and Gu Ailing will bring all their dreams to realize their dreams.
