Beijing News (reporter Wang Jisong) on February 11, the men's steel frame snowmobile event competition ended the competition, the first time to participate in the Winter Olympics Chinese athlete Yin Zheng won the 5th place, although unfortunately failed to stand on the podium, but the 5th place for the first time to participate in the Winter Olympics Yin Zheng has been good enough.

It is worth noting that Yin Zheng set a track departure record of 4.60 seconds in the first round of the steel frame snowmobile at the Beijing Winter Olympics; in the last round, he once again showed a strong starting speed, breaking the departure record set a day ago with 4.58 seconds.

Yin zheng said in an interview that speed is his biggest advantage. During the college entrance examination, he was admitted to Beijing Sport University with his sprinting skills. Prior to that, he finished 3rd in the men's 100m and 6th in the 200m at the 2014 Shanxi Athletics Championships, and won the men's 100m championship in 2015.

In 2015, after the establishment of the steel frame snowmobile national training team, Yin Zheng, who was still studying at Beijing Sport University, successfully passed a number of tests by the coaching team and was successfully selected into the training team. The sprinter's explosive strength and strong starting ability to push the sled have become Yin Zheng's biggest advantages, which makes his starting to a world-class level.

However, Yin Zheng also faces the disadvantage of underweight, "if the weight is light, in order to maintain stability, the ski will be heavier, if it is heavy, it will inevitably affect the starting speed." ”

At that time, Yin Zheng's weight was 75 kilograms, and he set a goal: to gain weight to 78 kilograms. According to Yin Zheng, at that time, in order to gain weight, he would eat a lot of meat every day, and sometimes even add meals, but the effect was always not ideal. Finally, he began to eat bibimbap in lard every day, and even then the effect was not ideal. Yin Zheng said that this is a physical problem, no matter how to eat it is difficult to eat fat, "can only try to maintain weight, do not lose too much." ”
