Hirano Walk Dream.
In Zhangjiakou on February 11, Hirano Bumeng won the gold medal in the men's U-track skills of snowboarding with a stunning 96 points in the final jump to reverse The Australian star Scotty James!
In this final, four players from Japan, Ryuka Hirano, Yuto Totsuka, Hirano Bumon and Hirano Kaiju, were qualified together.
What's more interesting is that although both are surnamed Hirano, only Hirano Bumon and Hirano Kaiju are brothers, and Hirano Ryuka is actually an "outsider".
Although his younger brother Haizhu is temporarily unable to reach the height of his brother's dream step in terms of achievements, the two brothers have always supported each other on the road of challenging snowboarding.
Hirano Ishiro is a Japanese teenager skiing genius.
Brother of the ski family
The Hirano brothers from Niigata Prefecture come from a ski family. Their father, Hideko Hirano, runs a ski resort, and there is a big brother above Yumebu and Kaiju, named Hideki, who is also a skier.
Mengbu and Haizhu were influenced by their father and brother since childhood and began to be exposed to skiing from a very young age. Of the three brothers, Dreambu is the most talented, and in the fourth grade of elementary school, he signed a sponsorship contract with Burton, a well-known American ski equipment manufacturer, and won consecutive championships in the National Junior Open in 2011 and 2012.
In March 2011, when he was only 12 years old, Mengbu made his international debut as a professional player and finished 13th, becoming a future star.
In April 2013, at the age of 14, Hirano won a silver medal in his first X GAME, and it was the 2014 World Cup that made Hirano's real name.
At that time, he was only a junior high school student, and he participated in the competition for the first time, and he won the World Cup championship as soon as he came up, which opened up the popularity of the world sports world.
With such solid results, Hirano Playo competed in the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics. However, for such a good athlete, God will always create some difficulties for them - before going to Sochi, Hirano Wasumo was injured, so he did not have any systematic practical training before the competition, and almost appeared in a blank state in the Olympic arena.
However, genius is genius, hirano Bumon passed the preliminary round with a second place result, and scored a high score of 90.75 in the first round of the final, and in the second round, he set a new personal record with 93.50 points and won the silver medal.
With this silver medal, he became the youngest Japanese player to win a medal at the Winter Olympics at the age of 15.

Severely injured, breaking through the limits
When he became famous at a young age, it was difficult for people to feel the pressure on Hirano except to see the aura on Hirano's body.
In 2017, when he was traveling to the United States to compete, he suddenly lost his balance in mid-air and hit the edge of the U-shaped pool, although he was conscious at the time and wanted to stick to the game, but under the persuasion of people around him, he decided to give up and go to the hospital for treatment.
After examination, the doctor told him that although he did not need surgery, the violent collision caused his liver to rupture and seriously injured the medial collateral ligament of his left knee. This injury will take at least 3 months to heal, and what is even more frightening is that as long as his body is tilted by 1cm more at that time, it is likely to lose his life...
It was March 2017, and the preparation time for the PyeongChang Winter Olympics was not very generous. The young Hirano experienced one of the biggest setbacks of his life, and the accident during the game made him feel uneasy, and he was once terrified of the U-shaped pool.
This fear, for those involved in extreme sports, is undoubtedly a devastating blow to the sports career. Before that, he had also been deeply involved in the "underage drinking" storm.
"When I can't move, what should I do?" I suddenly had twice as much time to think about it than anyone else, and then I felt like I had to accept reality, and it was actually good to be hurt. Afterwards, Mengbu so lightly told his state of mind during his recovery.
The ability to adjust the mentality is also a quality that excellent athletes need to have. Two months after his injuries, he returned to the ski resort in his hometown of Niigata. In the process of recovery, Hirano Bumon repeatedly observed the reasons for his mistakes through video, and his goal was to sum up the experience and strive to surpass the previous level after his comeback.
In September of the same year, in the World Cup arena where he had made history, Hirano Made a comeback and immediately finished second.
In this way, with infinite hope, Hirano Bumeng came to Pyeongchang in 2018.
On Valentine's Day, the final of the veneer U-shaped pool, Hirano Bumon made a super difficult move of 1260 + 1440 consecutive. Unfortunately, in the 3rd round of the competition, Hirano Bumon originally planned to challenge the higher point, but helplessly landed and failed, did not refresh his 95.25 points, and unfortunately lost to Sean White with a disadvantage of 2.5 points, ranking second in the Olympic Games for two consecutive olympic games.
After the game, people thought hirano would be very frustrated, but he always maintained an optimistic attitude: "Although I have left regrets, I have done my best within my ability. ”
Cross-border Summer Olympics skateboarding project
In Japan, there is a term called "two knife flow", which is more used to describe baseball players who play double repair, such as Shohei Otani, who is very popular at the moment.
After the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, Hirano decided to be a "two-knife flow" himself - he wanted to challenge skateboarding at the Tokyo Olympics.
One winter event, one summer event, snowboarding and snowboarding look very similar, but the two sports are fundamentally different.
Hirano told reporters after making his decision that he had to start everything from scratch. In the process of "starting from scratch", Dreambug encountered great difficulties.
During the epidemic period, Mengbu went to Switzerland alone for special training, "Speaking from the heart, it is actually quite difficult, and it is necessary to switch back and forth from head to toe when you are in two projects." In April 2021, Mengbu finished runner-up at the Snowboarding All Japan Championships, and a month later he traveled to the United States to participate in skateboarding qualifiers and successfully passed.
Perhaps the preparation time was affected by the epidemic and was severely compressed, and Mengbu's performance in the local Olympic Games was very general, and the skateboarding project did not pass the preliminary round. However, he did not regret his choice.
"When I started deciding to challenge myself 3 years ago, I never thought I could actually stand on this stage. But the dream came true, and being able to enjoy the game on this big stage is the happiest thing in itself. ”

Hai Zhu: My brother is the person I respect the most
This momentum of Mengbu greatly infected Hai Zhu.
In the eyes of the old man in the family, what supports him to move forward in the sport of snowboarding is his brother Mengbu.
"I respect my brother in my heart." Hai Zhu embarked on the path of skiing, the most important opportunity was because he witnessed his brother win the silver medal in Sochi, but he also admitted that he would not let his brother double his pressure because he was a talented player.
At the 2020 Youth Olympic Games in Lausanne, Switzerland, Hirano won the silver medal in the snowboard event, which gave him great confidence, and he believed that he could also win in the Winter Olympics like his brother in the future.
In his heart, the two brothers stood on the podium together, and it couldn't be better. Next Time at the Winter Olympics, he won't just be 9th. (Supine Braces/Zhang Yangyuan)
