Zhang Chutong in the game
On February 11, in the women's 1000m quarterfinals of short track speed skating at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, Jilin Zhang Chutong regretted that he could not qualify for the semifinals. This Winter Olympics is the first time that young Zhang Chutong has appeared on the Olympic field. It is not difficult to see from the game that Zhang Chutong is somewhat nervous. After the game, the youngster also showed a side of not accepting defeat, "There are still games behind, I will work harder!" ”
Enlightenment coaches evaluate Zhang Chutong as a "good seedling"
Zhang Chutong, who was born on February 17, 2003, is about to celebrate his 19th birthday at the Winter Olympics. Zhang Chutong, from Jilin City, began short track speed skating training in the second grade of primary school, and Jing Hongjun of the Changyi District Youth Amateur Sports School in Jilin City was her enlightenment coach. For an athlete, enlightenment coaching has special significance. In the eyes of Jing Hongjun, Zhang Chutong is definitely a "good seedling". Jing Hongjun still remembers: "Once in physical education class, I observed that Chu Tong, a child, had very good running ability, bouncing and reflexes, was very talented, and was a good seedling, so I made up my mind to cultivate her at that time. ”
In fact, Zhang Chutong did not disappoint the Jing Red Army, and since then, Zhang Chutong has frequently appeared in national competitions, and she has won the national junior women's 500 meters and 1000 meters championships for three consecutive years. Since 2018, she has been selected for the national team through the U series of competitions created by the Chinese Skating Association, and has fought continuously in the elite league, and compared with Qu Chunyu and Zang Yize, the big sisters of the national team, she has not fallen behind. His technical style and style have been recognized by the coaching team of the national team.
In the internal selection of the Chinese short track speed skating team in this Winter Olympics, Zhang Chutong won the women's 1000 meters championship, thus qualifying for the Winter Olympics.
Losing the Winter Olympics for the first time is not necessarily a "bad thing"
After the start of this Winter Olympics, many Jilin ice and snow fans who care about Zhang Chutong have been looking forward to Zhang Chutong's appearance. In the women's 1000m group stage of short track speed skating, Zhang Chutong won the third place in the group, and the third place in the group with the best result was qualified. In the quarter-finals, Zhang Chutong's performance was average, and he did not qualify for the semi-finals.
For Zhang Chutong, who is less than 19 years old when he first boarded the Winter Olympics, we really can't be too demanding.
Fortunately, in previous competitions, Zhang Chutong has always been an athlete who is good at summarizing. Once, there was such a story in Zhang Chutong: in the World Cup in Germany that year, Zhang Chutong competed with the world's strong players and finally won the bronze medal. In the post-match summary, Zhang Chutong said, "To get the Bronze Medal in the World Cup, this is just the beginning, there are too many things I want to improve... Like speed ability, rhythm grasp, timing grasp beyond opponents, physical fitness... Compared with the master, I feel that there are really shortcomings everywhere in my body. ”
The leader of the Chinese short track speed skating team also once said, "We really are training her towards the goal of cultivating Olympic champions, and then continue to hone hard." ”
Indeed, Zhang Chutong, who is still young, really needs to be honed. From this point of view, Zhang Chutong, who debuted at the Winter Olympic Games, suffered a defeat, which is not necessarily a bad thing.
