The International Hockey Federation announced today that it has officially invited Chinese film and television superstar Wu Jing as the World Ice Hockey Ambassador.
At a time when the Beijing Winter Olympics are in full swing, China's winter sports are heating up, and as the only ice hockey sport with physical confrontation in winter sports, it is also rapidly unfolding across China under the winter Olympic Games. Beijing, the site of the Winter Olympics alone, has nearly 10,000 players and families engaged in ice hockey. This figure is already several times that of Beijing Zhangjiakou's successful bid to host the Winter Olympics, and the current Beijing Youth Ice Hockey League has become the largest ice hockey league in Asia.
In order to promote the sport of ice hockey, especially in China. The International Ice Hockey Federation takes advantage of the opportunity of the two Winter Olympics in Asia, in addition to sparing no effort to bring the world's best ice hockey players into the Olympic ice hockey game, but also set up Chinese, Russian, South Korea and other Chinese social network platforms to let more Chinese sports fans understand ice hockey, learn ice hockey culture, so that they can like ice hockey, and attract more teenagers and sports families to join the ice hockey project.
"The International Hockey Federation is honoured to invite Wu Jing to be an ice hockey ambassador on the occasion of the Winter Olympics. Wu Jing is a Chinese film and television superstar, who has a positive and positive influence on and off the screen, and is an excellent example for Chinese youth. We are very grateful to him for helping us develop the sport of hockey through his influence. "I hope he can call on more fans to cheer for the Chinese ice hockey team and applaud the performance of the Chinese ice hockey team in the Winter Olympics," the ambassador finally said.
"At the Winter Olympics, I watched a few games of the Chinese women's ice hockey team, and it was wonderful, and we were very touched by their outstanding performance of actively fighting for the glory of the country. Ice hockey is a very worthwhile project, there is teamwork, there is collision, a lot of pole holding technology and our ancient Chinese horse martial arts have a lot of similarities, I hope you can pay more attention to the ice hockey game, cheer for the Chinese ice hockey team. It is a great honor to be the World Ice Hockey Ambassador of the International Ice Hockey Federation, and I hope to bring more children and families to participate in the sport of ice hockey," wu jing said.
The ice hockey game of the Winter Olympics has entered the second stage, and the Chinese men's ice hockey team will appear in the main winter Olympic games for the first time and will face the United States team at 21:10 today. The women's ice hockey knockout round will begin the day after tomorrow, with 8 teams playing each other to determine the final four.
