A curling pot 180,000, is it worth it? After the start of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chinese curling team won two mixed matches, and then as of February 10, the mixed men's and women's teams lost seven consecutive games, and the men's team and women's teams lost two games each, and China has lost 11 consecutive games.
They are sorry for the financial resources and energy we have invested in this sport, not to be a hero of success or failure, but when all the projects in China are improving, it is curling and men's football that have regressed.
Curling in the Winter Olympics is also the top aristocratic sport, the general cost of ice and snow projects is generally higher than summer sports, curling is one of the best, a competition with curling is worth 180,000, but this is actually a gimmick, is the price of the entire participating circle up.
Not only is the curling used for the game, the 180,000 is only a small number, in fact, ice making, field maintenance, surrounding protection, these costs are sky-high. Curling's requirements for ice surfaces are the most stringent of all ice projects, which seems easy to understand, after all, there are many precision requirements here, and high-tech means are used. Why does that little curling pot reach a sky-high price? In fact, this is the threshold problem of a luxury sport.
As we all know, in the 1980s, China began to suddenly rise snooker sports boom, snooker is also an aristocratic sport in European countries, but after the introduction to China, you can see the streets full of billiard tables, one yuan per game.
Less than two decades later, China's pool table has become a world famous brand, which can become a competition equipment for high-end events.
So don't be intimidated by the so-called sky-high sports equipment, that's just Chinese hasn't started to intervene on a large scale. No matter how rare the bragged curling material granite is, how precise the processing requirements are, as long as it goes to China, Yiwu can make a flat replacement within a few months, and Henan can put the same model on the shelves within 24 hours (the kind that can't be competed, you know).
Their cost can definitely blow your mind. What must be made of high-grade materials in a certain region, high-quality granite is rare in the world, these difficulties are non-existent, they are created by the human tongue. Chinese as long as you want to do it, everything can be made into a floor price. And the material used is not only cheap, it must be better than the original material, or it does not affect the game at all. The so-called sky-high price is only to inflate the price of the body.
Chinese did not follow up on this sports equipment because there is no domestic market, and foreign markets in order to maintain high specifications also exclude our products from entering.
This sport cannot be popularized in China, the manpower and material resources required are too large, and as mentioned above, China has lost 11 consecutive games! Do we still have to spend so much money to burn, just like the national football team, everyone earns tens of millions of dollars a year, kicking out the third-rate style of Asia.
The national football team loses with domestic equipment and top equipment, and it seems that it does not matter what the curling team uses. Those friends who support the 180,000 high-priced curling is worth the money, think about it, whether there is a price first, and then some people are attached to find the reason for its high price, and finally everyone thinks that the price is reasonable, why lie to themselves.
