"It's a very wide track, I love it, I feel like there could be a breakthrough today." In the biathlon women's 7.5 km sprint event held this afternoon, Chinese veteran Tang Jialin finished in 35th place, setting a new personal best record at the Winter Olympics in this event.

This is the third Winter Olympics in which Tang Jialin participated. At the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, Tang Jialin finished 52nd; at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, due to strong winds, Tang Jialin's shooting performance was not good, only 72nd.

According to the rules of the biathlon race, only the top 60 runners in the sprint race are eligible to participate in the pursuit. As a result, Tang Jialin successfully entered the biathlon women's 10 km pursuit event to be held on the 13th, and also won the qualification for another event for the Chinese delegation at the Winter Olympics.

Biathlon consists of cross-country skiing and shooting. Cross-country skiing is a speed endurance sport, while shooting tests the accuracy and stability of athletes. Therefore, in addition to skating fast and shooting accurately, the biathlon in winter has extremely high requirements for the athlete's ability to convert motion and static.

After the game, Tang Jialin said that in today's game, she had a better grasp of the rhythm of shooting. "Every time we go into the range, the coach reminds us of 'piano!' piano! (Piano)', to pull the trigger like a piano, to relax. Some athletes will be very nervous and can't find the rhythm of shooting. "In today's game, Tang Jialin only took off one target in 10 shots, laying the foundation for her own ranking promotion.

It is worth mentioning that the current head coach of the Chinese biathlon team is Bjør Darren from Norway, known as the "King of Biathlons" and has 13 Olympic medals. Tang Jialin said that the arrival of foreign teachers has helped them improve a lot of technical details, "Before, we only paid more attention to the shooting hit rate, but the coach asked us to pay attention to the preparation action of entering the shooting range, the rapid pedaling out of the shooting range and other details." This is where we have improved particularly much this year, especially the increase in shooting speed. ”

In addition to Tang Jialin, the other three players of the Chinese team, Chu Yuanmeng, Meng Fanqi and Ding Yuhuan, won the 61st, 62nd and 76th places respectively. Norway's Matt Olseb Reseland, runners-up in the last PyeongChang Winter Olympics, won the gold medal this time.

"In recent years, the team has not only improved, but the overall level has improved. The shooting level of the young players is quite good, and the practice of sliding is strengthened, and it is slowly made up, and I believe that the future potential is great. Tang Jialin said.
