The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics successfully kicked off, and as a Chinese athlete, Gu Ailing also ushered in a big leap in the freestyle ski women's big jump event! I saw it continue to slide, and at the end of the slope came a left rotation, and took off into the air, completing a 1080-degree rotation in the air, and then landing perfectly.
During the period, in fact, she made a major mistake in the second jump, but she still made a thrilling way to the final.
Gu Ailing is the overlord of the snow field, the red man on TikTok, and the idol chased by the merchants. At the same time, she represents a trend: young Chinese athletes born in North America are returning to China to play.
In fact, under the concept of "opening up the Olympic Games" and "sharing the Olympic Games", the Chinese delegation to this Winter Olympic Games has many naturalized athletes. But their path to the Winter Olympics is not the same.
Another naturalized athlete, Chinese women's figure skater Zhu Yi, born in 2002, began practicing figure skating at the age of 7. In January 2018, Zhu Yi won the women's singles championship in the rookie category of the National Figure Skating Championships with 167.69 points, becoming a new star in the American figure skating world. After that, Zhu Yi joined the Chinese figure skating training team.
On February 6, in the competition of the women's short program of figure skating, although Zhu Yi's achievements were not as outstanding as Gu Ailing's, the Chinese sports spirit he showed in the ice and snow skating field was still worthy of consumer admiration. I believe that in the next game, Zhu Yi will bring more surprises.
The Chinese ice hockey team, the world of naturalized players
The Chinese women's hockey team was once a strong team, twice finishing fourth at the Women's Ice Hockey World Championships in the 1990s and producing world-class players. At the 1998 Nagano Olympics, the Chinese team finished fourth in its first competition – just one step away from the podium.
But after that, the talent was not picked up, and the strength declined.
This time, more than half of the Chinese women's ice hockey team is naturalized players. Team member Wang Yuting was once a member of the Canadian Women's Hockey League, and her No. 49 jersey was also inducted into the World Hockey Hall of Fame.
Goalkeeper Zhou Jiaying has not only been selected for the Canadian team to prepare for the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, but also a student who graduated from Princeton University, an Ivy League school in the United States, and worked on Wall Street.
In the group stage of the women's ice hockey team of the Beijing Winter Olympics on February 4 and 6, the Chinese women's ice hockey team won two consecutive games and locked up the top eight places in advance.
After the match that helped the Chinese women's ice team to reverse Denmark 3:1, Zhou Jiaying cried with joy: "I am really grateful to be able to represent China in the Winter Olympics and win the game, which makes me very proud. ”
With the deep popularity of "opening up the Olympic Games" and "sharing the Olympic Games", many Chinese athletes today are constantly returning to the embrace of the motherland. For them, China is their motherland, should continue to fight for it and achieve more glory, Gu Ailing so, Zhu Yi so, Zhou Jiaying is even more so, let us cheer for it together!
