In yesterday's freestyle skiing aerial skills mixed team final, Xu Mengtao, Jia Zongyang and Qi Guangpu, three elders of the Winter Olympics, joined forces to win the silver medal for the Chinese team.
Xu Mengtao once again completed the highest difficulty action of the women's player, the 31-year-old Qi Guangpu "looked forward to having a perfect final jump" before the game, and Jia Zongyang had undergone 3 surgeries but never gave up.
On the Internet, an X-ray of Jia Zongyang's leg caused countless netizens to cry, as an old athlete, he has 22 steel nails on his legs, which is said to be an accidental injury during the preparation for the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, in order to be able to catch up with the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics and made a nail bracket.
In fact, in the winter Olympic games, in addition to the freestyle ski aerial skills competition, there are other equally thrilling competitions, athletes not only use sweat to pay hardships, but also use their lives to win glory for the country.
Freestyle skiing aerial skills
Aerial technique is cool, but it's more of a dangerous sport. Not only do you have to speed up to the jump platform, but you also have to fly high, wear a heavy and long snowboard and flip in the air, and make a designated movement. Unlike jumping into the water, the snow is very hard, and if the action fails, people will fall heavily on the ground, and it is easy to have accidents. Former world champion @ Li Nina said in an interview before the game: "Our project is indeed a relatively dangerous project. Just like when you go to war as a soldier, you may not be able to avoid getting hurt. ”
Freestyle ski obstacle course chase
The event has one of the highest incidence of injuries at the Winter Olympics, with statistics showing that 33.8 percent of athletes miss training and competitions due to injury in obstacle courses every season. Athletes must not only compete for speed, but also deal with complex and changeable terrain competitions. In the course of the race, in order to seize the first advantage and choose the best sliding route, body collision is inevitable, in order to cope with the complex track and achieve obstacle chase, athletes must not only have a solid foundation of sliding, but also be able to have a strong control of the body and snowboard, in the process of sliding, but also be able to adapt to various unexpected situations that occur in the high-speed sliding state. So until the last moment of the finish line, the arena is always full of variables.
Steel frame snowmobile
In racing, steel-framed snowmobiles are called "Ice F1". Steel frame snowmobilers lie prone on the snowmobile, head forward and feet backward, the shorter the time, the better. Because the steel frame snowmobile project is too thrilling, it has twice been disqualified from the Winter Olympics. Imagine a car traveling on the highway, if it collides at a speed of 160 km / h, the injuries and blows to both the driver and passengers are fatal. Not to mention the steel frame snowmobiler with the head down, only the helmet and other simple protection. The steel-framed snowmobile race is intense, and athletes, coaches and spectators on the sidelines are in a thrilling process. If safety is not put first, the threat to athletes in the steel frame bobsleigh program will be more than just simple trauma.
Alpine skiing
Alpine skiers have to slide down from a height with a vertical drop of more than 800 m, which is equivalent to the height of the Burj Khalifa, the tallest building in the world. At the same time, alpine skiers need to continuously steer, change speed and maintain balance at the fastest speed in a low-temperature and low-oxygen environment. Therefore, this sport requires a high degree of lower limb movement ability of athletes, and most of the athlete's injuries occur in the lower limbs, the most common of which is the tear of the anterior cruciate ligament of the knee joint. Downhill is the fastest of all alpine skiing events, with a maximum speed of 140 km/h, which is faster than the speed of a car on high speed. Behind the alpine skiing events of the Winter Olympics, there are more than 40 doctors with rich skiing experience and superb treatment skills on standby, and once an athlete has an accident, the ski doctors will carry a medical kit weighing up to 10 kilograms and arrive at the scene within 4 minutes to deal with the injury and transfer the injured athlete out of the track.
