On the evening of February 5, five members of the Chinese short track team, including Ren Ziwei, worked together to win the first gold of the Chinese delegation to the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics. On February 7, Ren Ziwei celebrated after the game. On February 7, Ren Ziwei won the men's 1000m final of short track speed skating at the Winter Olympics, becoming the first "double gold" winner of the Chinese Ice and Snow Army in this Winter Olympics.
"The students I brought with me have won various awards, but I have a dream that has not come true, that is, no child has yet won the Olympic championship." Two years ago, Ren Ziwei's enlightenment coach Wang Beiming expressed this regret in a conversation with Ren Ziwei. At that time, Ren Ziwei was very determined to express his confidence in helping the teacher realize this dream.
Wang Beiming led Ren Ziwei to train for a full 10 years, witnessing Ren Ziwei growing from a child to a provincial team, a national team, and then to the Beijing Winter Olympics to win two golds. Ren Ziwei is still expected to win the gold medal in the men's 500m and men's 5000m relay events in the following winter Olympics.

On February 7, 2022, Ren Ziwei won the men's 1000 meters short track speed skating championship at the Beijing Winter Olympics with a time of 1 minute 26.768 seconds, achieving a breakthrough of zero gold medals for the Chinese team in the Winter Olympics in this event. After winning two gold medals, Ren Ziwei's parents connected with Wang Beiming on a TV show to thank Wang Beiming. Wang Beiming said: "Very satisfied! I feel that my life's efforts are worth it! It's worth it to be bitter and tired! ”
Recently, Wang Beiming was interviewed by a Red Star News reporter, telling the story of training Ren Ziwei many years ago and his coaching experience, he hopes that Ren Ziwei can play his own characteristics and level in the next competition.
After being listed as a key player
He fell and fractured for two consecutive years
Wang Beiming, 67, began to work as a speed skating coach in 1976, is a member of the National Ice and Snow Sports Association, and has also participated in the compilation of many short track speed skating teaching books. On September 2, 2021, he was awarded the title of "2017-2020 National Advanced Individual in Mass Sports" by the State General Administration of Sport. He is currently coaching in the speed skating team of Shenyang Institute of Physical Education.
Ren Ziwei was born in 1997, and they were married in 2004. At that time, Wang Beiming was working as a coach at the Nangang District Sports School in Harbin, and the teachers of Harbin Qingming Primary School recommended several children, including Ren Ziwei, to Wang Beiming. After a year of training, Wang Beiming found that Ren Ziwei was improving rapidly and decided to recommend him to participate in the competition. Wang Beiming felt that Ren Ziwei worked hard, trained hard, did not accept defeat, and had the necessary qualities for athletes, and decided to leave him behind and become a full team member.

Around 2010, Wang Beiming saw that Ren Ziwei performed very well in the game and listed Ren Ziwei as a key player for training. Ren Ziwei accidentally fell in a match and fractured his left leg. When Wang Beiming heard this news, he felt that it was a pity and was afraid of the accidental injury of the team members he focused on training. Ren Ziwei was injured, his parents were very distressed, and his mother offered not to let him continue practicing. Wang Beiming spent energy to do the work of Tong ren Ziwei's parents.
Wang Beiming is very clear that after an athlete is injured, the most feared thing is that due to the reduction of exercise, muscle atrophy and the disappearance of athletic ability will lead to, and if it really disappears, it will need to re-carry out physical rehabilitation training.
In 2011, Ren Ziwei fell again and fractured his right leg, and his mother was particularly opposed to his continued practice. Wang Beiming also understood and continued to do work, "The thirteen-four-year-old child is injured, his parents will be distressed, and his mother's tears will flow down when she speaks." She felt that the child was deficient in calcium and had brittle bones. I will say that the lack of calcium in the process of children's growth is also normal, athlete injuries are normal things that need to be faced, and after persisting until the injury is healed, it is still the same as before, and even after the bone injury recovers, it is stronger than before. ”
Wang Beiming went to ren Ziwei's work again and asked him if he liked the sport and whether he wanted to continue practicing. He replied that he wanted to, but the parents disagreed. "Teacher Wang, do you think I'm okay?" Ren Ziwei was very confused at that time, and Wang Beiming replied, "If you say you can do it, I will say you can do it, and if you say you can't do it, I will say you can't do it." Ren Ziwei said he must be able to do it.
In order to allow Ren Ziwei to quickly recover his muscle ability, Wang Beiming took a bus to Ren Ziwei's house every morning to teach him rehabilitation training alone. In order to exercise ren ziwei's muscle ability of the whole body, he let Ren Ziwei's father buy dumbbells, bicycles and other equipment, Ren Ziwei fractured one leg and was cast, so he tied the injured leg to the bicycle, and the other leg pedaled the bicycle, and the upper limb also needed to do some strength exercises. Until later, Ren Ziwei's legs gradually recovered.

From a young age, I did not accept defeat and was not afraid of suffering
After the fracture, he still tried his best to train
When Wang Beiming was training Ren Ziwei, he often said, "If you want to become a world champion in the future and want to participate in the Olympic Games, you must have a superhuman physique and superhuman ability." If you don't have it, you can't do it. In training, grit your teeth and insist, not be crushed by yourself, defeat yourself, in the game, in order to crush and defeat the opponent. ”
Wang Beiming felt that Ren Ziwei "This child has a high IQ and a high emotional intelligence!" Don't give up until you reach your goal! Challenge yourself, beat yourself, and play without fear of any opponent, which he can see when he is young. Wang Beiming analyzed that Ren Ziwei's father was a soldier, and he also had the characteristics of a soldier. This trait is also reflected in ordinary life, such as everyone participating in other sports games, "like when we play basketball, he has to win me, and if he can't win me, he keeps fighting with me." It's not to accept defeat. Wang Beiming said that Ren Ziwei was the hardest in the group of players he trained, and he could bite his teeth and insist the most, "When I was training, I had very high requirements for him, at least two percentage points higher than others." ”
Wang Beiming mentioned that when Ren Ziwei was 14 years old and still tried his best to train with a broken bone, he felt that Ren Ziwei would definitely be able to enter the national team and even win the Olympic championship.
At that time, Wang Beiming accompanied ren Ziwei to do physical training at his home, and Wang Beiming asked that in the ten minutes of very intense training, Ren Ziwei must complete the number of actions he required every minute, and must persist to the end. Ren Ziwei persisted until the 8th minute and was tired to stop, "I told him at the time, if you are almost so persistent in the game, you will be eliminated." If you don't want to work hard, that's the end of training today. Wang Beiming said.
After drinking water and resting for a while, Ren Ziwei decided to start over and insisted on finishing the training. "I asked him why he was fighting so hard and he said he wanted to be in the national team." Wang Bei remembered that since then, Ren Ziwei's daily training has not been punished again. At that time, Wang Beiming firmly believed that this child could stand on the world-class arena or even stand on the Olympic arena in the future.

He entered the national team at the age of less than 17
From an early age, we set the goal of winning the Olympic championship
Wang Beiming also mentioned that at that time, he developed a training equipment and applied for a national patent. In order to allow Ren Ziwei's special strength to be rapidly improved, during the recovery period of Ren Ziwei's fracture, he let Ren Ziwei also use this equipment to train at home, which made Ren Ziwei's ability quickly improve.
After the year, Ren Ziwei went to the provincial competition and won the provincial championship. Wang Beiming said that at that time, many people were very surprised, Ren Ziwei actually won the provincial championship after the second fracture recovery, and many people could not surpass him after practicing every day.
In 2012, Wang Beiming felt that Ren Ziwei had a good result in the competition and sent him to the provincial team for training. During the provincial team, Ren Ziwei took the initiative to find Wang Beiming, and then followed Wang Beiming to learn physical training for two years.
On March 9, 2014, ren Ziwei, who participated in the international competition for the first time in the World Junior Short Track Speed Skating Championships, won the third place in the men's 1500 meters, and on March 10, Ren Ziwei and three team members won the men's 3000 meters relay championship at the World Junior Short Track Speed Skating Championships. In October, Ren Ziwei was selected for the Chinese national short track speed skating team.
Wang Beiming also said that after Ren Ziwei entered the national team, he won a number of gold medals. In 2015, in the men's 1500m final of the short track speed skating World Cup in Shanghai, Ren Ziwei won his first World Cup title. At that time, Li Yan, the current head coach and leader of the national speed skating training team, once commented to the media, "Ren Ziwei has the courage to challenge, but also withstands the challenge, once rushed up, it will give people a feeling of courage and unstoppable." ”
At the 2016 Short Track Speed Skating World Youth Championships, Ren Ziwei won the championship, becoming the first all-around champion from China since the event's inception in 1994. Ren Ziwei has since won many world championships and gradually became the core player of China's short track speed skating team.
In the past 40 years, Wang Beiming has had 42 students enter the national team, 56 students have won national championships, and many are all-around players. Including Zhang Yuting, who participated in the Winter Olympics this time, is also a student he has brought, she is a female all-around player. "The coach of these two athletes in the national team, who used to be a student I brought with me, he was also an all-around player. Now he is taking his brothers and sisters to the Winter Olympics. Wang Beiming said.
When it comes to the "training skills" of creating all-round players, Wang Beiming has a unique training method and training concept. "I conduct basic training for students according to the laws and characteristics of short track speed skating projects. Unlike many coaches, the focus of training is that in the basic training, I first let the students practice and then support, and based on the support, strengthen the students' muscular endurance training. Our children have solid basic skills and strong comprehensive ability from an early age. Wang Beiming said that some involve "technical" content, which is inconvenient to talk about.
In addition to paying attention to the training of students' basic abilities, Wang Beiming often tells students that they must establish life goals. When taking Ren Ziwei, they often "nagged" between them, communicating their knowledge and understanding of training and life, and Ren Ziwei hoped to win the Olympic championship since he was a child.
Wang Beiming once said to Ren Ziwei: "If you want to win the Olympic championship, you must first enter the national team, otherwise you will not be eligible to participate at all." Before you are 18 years old, if you can't get into the national team, it basically means that you can't. Wang Bei remembered that Ren Ziwei has always been very firm, and said, "Teacher Wang, you can rest assured, I will definitely be able to enter the national team before I am 18 years old." Sure enough, Ren Ziwei was less than 17 years old and entered the national team.

The Winter Olympics won two gold medals
"I should be able to win another gold medal in the next game"
After Ren Ziwei entered the national team, he often kept in touch with Wang Beiming. In 2018, when Ren Ziwei participated in the Pyeongchang Olympic Games, he failed to reach the semifinals due to a taxiing line error. After the game, Ren Ziwei also analyzed the reasons for the mistake with Wang Beiming and wanted to improve the method. Ren Ziwei said at that time that he hoped to play a full game at the Beijing Winter Olympics.
"The Olympic Games are full of events, which means that the overall strength must be particularly strong, there is no weakness." Wang Beiming stressed.
"The belief in winning gold at the Olympics was already ingrained in his mind, so he tried almost everything he could." When Wang Beiming watched the news in 2021, he found that Ren Ziwei looked like he had lost at least seven or eight pounds, so he went to ask Ren Ziwei's national team coach, and the coach said that Ren Ziwei had lost 10 pounds. Wang Beiming sighed that Ren Ziwei did not know how much to pay, his weight was reduced, but his muscle strength did not decrease.
"After he loses weight, the strength of his muscles will be stronger, the excess meat will be gone, and the heart load will be much smaller." The heart is like the engine of the human body, in the case of athletes' special strength is not reduced, the lighter the weight, the strength must be more sufficient, which must be desperately practiced to reduce. Wang Beiming said that when he saw the film and television materials of Ren Ziwei released by the media, he "felt that he should definitely get a gold medal." This Time in the Winter Olympics, he said to take at least two gold medals, I estimate he can take 3, 4. He can become the absolute main player of the Chinese team's short track speed skating. ”
After Ren Ziwei won two gold medals, his parents connected with Wang Beiming on a TV show to thank Wang Beiming. Wang Beiming said: "Very satisfied! I feel that my life's efforts are worth it! It's worth it to be bitter and tired! ”
Wang Beiming believes that Ren Ziwei performed very well in this Winter Olympics, but "in the men's 1500 meters of short track speed skating in this Olympic Games, he may have changed a little psychologically, I feel that he did not slide out of his own style, played not actively, and did not try his best when he finally sprinted." It may also be that he feels that he has a foul action and has not tried again since. ”
Wang Beiming hopes that Ren Ziwei can play his own characteristics and level in the next game. He believes that Ren Ziwei should be able to win the gold medal if he cooperates well with his teammates in the men's 5000m relay.
