At the Winter Olympics on the evening of February 11, Beijing time, Chinese short track speed skater Wu Dajing competed in the 500-meter event he was good at, successfully passed the preliminary round, and reached the final held on February 13, which will have the opportunity to impact the second gold of the individual Winter Olympics. The short-track speed skating competition in which Wu Dajing competed was the main gold rush event of the Chinese sports team at the Winter Olympics, and as the active leader of short-track speed skating, Wu Dajing was saddled with a lot of pressure and responsibility.
At the same time as the Winter Olympics, the story of Wu Dajing's growth was also reported, and some domestic media specially produced special features to introduce the details of Wu Dajing's growth, interviewed Wu Dajing's father and mother, and let the outside world understand that Wu Dajing's growth path is not easy.
Because Wu Dajing's parents did not understand skating, the first time they bought skates for Wu Dajing, they bought the wrong ones, and bought them into the avenue project, while Wu Dajing practiced short track projects. It is worth noting that Wu Dajing's family background is not so rich, in this interview, Wu Dajing's parents revealed that when they first bought roller skates for Wu Dajing, they spent a total of more than 600 yuan, which was the total salary of Wu Dajing's father at that time. It can be seen that the support of Wu Dajing's family for his skating sports can be described as the contribution of the whole family.
In addition, because Wu Dajing's body grew faster and his feet became bigger and bigger, in order to continue to let Wu Dajing continue to practice, Wu Dajing's mother began to look for second-hand goods, that is, the shoes used by other children's children, for Wu Dajing to use. Until Wu Dajing practiced to a decent stage, Wu Dajing's second uncle took the initiative to order a pair of skates for him, specially made for Wu Dajing's feet, to help Wu Dajing's short track speed skating career.
These details are enough to reflect the difficulty of Wu Dajing's growth path, to become a member of the national team, to achieve the level of world champions, Wu Dajing is not a casual success, experienced countless hardships. It is worth noting that due to perennial high-intensity practice, Wu Dajing's feet have long been deformed, the lump is very large, in the future when retiring, Wu Dajing's life will have a corresponding impact, which is a situation that professional athletes will encounter, it can also be said that it is an occupational disease, which is generally faced by excellent athletes, and there is no easy behind success.
At the last 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, Wu Dajing broke the world record and won the championship in the 500-meter event, which shows that the 500-meter event is Wu Dajing's advantage, he is the defending champion, and the first result in the preliminary round reflects his excellent competitive state. I believe that Wu Dajing will not let this gold medal slip away, and strive to defend his title on February 13, and we look forward to Wu Dajing's wonderful performance at that time!
