Biathlon women's 7.5 km short distance, Tang Jialin made a personal breakthrough

On February 11, In the biathlon women's 7.5 km sprint competition in the Zhangjiakou District of the Beijing Winter Olympics, Tang Jialin, a Veteran of China who participated in the Winter Olympics for the third time, finished in 35th place, setting a new personal best record at the Winter Olympics in this event. She said: "I just feel like there may be a breakthrough today. ”

Tang Jialin is the third time to participate in the women's 7.5 km sprint at the Winter Olympics. In 2014, she finished 52nd on the project. Four years later in Pyeongchang, South Korea, she finished 70th. She said: "I have a small goal before the game, that is, I hope to make my own breakthrough. ”

In fact, Tang Jialin's performance in the World Cup sprint race from 2021 to 2022 is not outstanding. The reason why she was able to perform well in this game was related to her targeted preparation for shooting and sliding before the game. "At the short distance, at the beginning of the race, everyone was desperately trying to slide forward, so if you shoot and then lose the target, then you will be thrown farther and farther." Tang Jialin said, "In order to ensure the shooting rate, this game, I added some control to myself. And the coach will immediately shout at Tang Jialin after she slides into the shooting area: "piano"! piano！ "It is to let Tang Jialin relax as soon as possible, and when shooting, pull the trigger with her hands like playing the piano." In this game, Tang Jialin only missed this target in 10 shots, laying the foundation for her own ranking promotion.

In addition to shooting, Tang Jialin also made special consideration for the sliding section competition before this game. She said: "My uphill ability is not very good. In the previous 15 km race, the coach emphasized the essentials of going downhill, and I paid attention to the downhill in the race, but there were some problems uphill, so today I also told myself that I had to do a good job uphill and downhill. ”

In Tang Jialin's view, in the Beijing Winter Olympic cycle, the overall strength of the Chinese biathlon team is slowly improving, especially in shooting, and now the level of young players generally exceeds that of their original team members. "It's not one person's improvement, but the overall level of an average, and it's still slowly moving up." She said, "I think the next batch of players, the potential is very great. Among the next group of players mentioned by Tang Jialin, including Meng Fanqi. Competing in the Winter Olympics for the first time, she finished 62nd in the women's 7.5 km sprint. "I'm already satisfied with my first winter olympics." She said, "Actually, I am satisfied to participate in the Winter Olympics." She said that she clearly saw the gap between her and foreign high-level athletes through competitions, providing direction and guidance for targeted training in the future.
