(Beijing Winter Olympics) Yin Zheng set a record for the departure of the steel frame snowmobile track His mother said that it was good to be selected for the Winter Olympics

Shijiazhuang, February 12 (Zhao Danmei) In the men's steel frame snowmobile competition of the Beijing Winter Olympics held on the evening of the 11th, Yin Zheng, a "post-95" Hebei athlete who debuted on the Winter Olympics, won the fifth place and set a new track starting record with 4.58 seconds.

On the evening of the same day, in front of the big screen of the Hebei Provincial Sports Bureau, Yin Zheng's parents have been clasping their hands to cheer for their son. "Compared to many athletes, the children have a short training time, and I think it is very good to be selected for the Winter Olympics." Yin Zheng's mother, Jiang Linhui, said that Yin Zheng had practiced sprinting for nearly two years, and in May 2017, he entered the Chinese steel frame snowmobile national team to start professional training, which is a "cross-border student".

The Chinese steel frame snowmobile national team was established in 2015, and there is a significant gap between the beginning of its establishment and the international top level. But the team has improved rapidly, already showing its edge at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, when China's Geng Wenqiang finished 13th.

Yin Zheng, who came from a sprinting background, has strong explosive strength and hard training, and has grown up from an ice and snow project "Xiaobai" in only 4 years. In the 2021-2022 season, Yin is winning many European Championships and Intercontinental Cups, especially his cart starting speed has reached world-class levels.

A man, a steel-framed snowmobile, an all-ice track, "flying close to the ground" at speeds of more than 100 kilometers per hour, this "brave sport" has been cancelled twice in the history of the Winter Olympics due to its speed and high danger. "Yin Zheng doesn't tell me every time he gets injured." Jiang Linhui said, "The child never cried bitterly, and I inadvertently saw his training footage on TV to know that it was so hard." ”

In the eyes of his mother Jiang Linhui, Yin Zheng has always been a thoughtful, sensible, stable and introverted child. "Although he didn't directly say what kind of results he wanted to achieve, I could feel that he wanted to stand on the top podium, which is also the common goal of all athletes."

On February 11, in the men's steel frame snowmobile competition at the Beijing Winter Olympics, China's Yan Wengang won the bronze medal, creating the best result in the history of chinese athletes in this event. It is worth mentioning that Yin Zheng set a track departure record of 4.60 seconds in the first round; in the last round, he once again showed a strong starting speed, setting a new track departure record set a day ago with 4.58 seconds.

"After this Winter Olympics, if Yin Zheng can go home on vacation, he will have to treat him with a table of his favorite meal." Father Yin Hongwei said. (End)
