Yin Zheng: Writing a new chapter for China's steel frame snowmobile

On February 10, the Beijing Winter Olympics held the first two rounds of the men's steel bobsleigh at the Yanqing National Bobsleigh Center. China's Yan Wengang and Yin Zheng competed, and Yan Wengang finished third after two rounds of matches. Yin Set a record for the fastest departure of 4.6 seconds. He is ranked 7th after two rounds. After the game, Yin Zheng admitted that he was a little light in weight, which became his disadvantage. "I ate and ate, but I couldn't get my weight up." Yin Zheng said.

As the host runner, the Chinese steel frame snowmobile runner has high hopes. Sitting at home also became the biggest advantage of the two players. In the two rounds of the competition on the 10th, Yan Wengang and Yin Zheng both played well. Speaking of his performance, Yan Wengang said that he can give himself 8 points. "I avoided a lot of small mistakes that I made before, but I made a big mistake this time when I left Corner 9. It cost me, so I hope to be able to handle it better in the next round. ”

Yan Wengang said that he would give himself an 8 points to encourage himself. "For today's performance, I will give myself an 8. There's no perfect performance in the sport, and I'm not quite happy with today's performance because I haven't made that perfect performance in training. ”

Another Chinese player, Yin Zheng, set a record starting record of 4.60 seconds this time. This is another step forward for China's steel frame snowmobiles. Unfortunately, Yin was losing the advantage he had established when he set out in the subsequent taxiing. Yin Zheng blamed the problem on his own weight. "In our sport, in addition to being fast at the beginning, you need the weight of your body to carry you along the track. If you're heavy enough, you'll also descend faster. Yin Zheng introduced, "I started very fast, but I was light in weight, so I could only take the lead as much as possible in the starting stage." ”

Yin Zheng introduced that most of the steel frame snowmobilers who came to the Beijing Winter Olympics this time weighed about five to six kilograms more than him. "Our weight gap will create a big speed gap in the race. In fact, I ate and ate before, but I ate like this, and it was difficult to gain weight. Yin Zheng's words sounded very "Versailles".

In addition to the weight gap, Yan Wengang and Yin Zheng were both amazed by the world masters who came to the Winter Olympics. "We've been training on this track for a while and we've run more than 500 times. Such training gives us confidence. But you look at these athletes, they've only walked this track a few times and they've been able to run so much faster than we did. That's something I really admire. Germany is really strong in terms of steel frame snowmobiles. Of course, the top athletes in these countries have been training and competing in the sport for more than 20 years. And this is only my sixth season. Yan Wengang said.

Yin Zhengze believes that although China is just getting started in bobsleigh, the Beijing Winter Olympics will make the sport rise rapidly. "I've always believed that China's steel frame bobsleigh games are getting better and better. I've only played a dozen games since I started training. This Winter Olympics is still confident of achieving better results. I'm actually inexperienced, and if I can get more competitive opportunities and continue to gain some weight, I'll perform better. ”

At 8 p.m. on the 11th, two Chinese athletes will participate in the third and fourth rounds of the men's steel frame bobsleigh. Text/Reporter Chu Peng
