This February, the ongoing Beijing Winter Olympics brought a feast of ice and snow sports to audiences around the world. In Jilin, a major province of ice and snow, while cheering for the Olympic athletes, people have also embarked on ice and snow, supported ice and snow, and enjoyed it.
Come on! Olympic athletes
When 17-year-old Su Yiming soared into the sky on the "Snow Great Wall" track and won a silver medal that created history for China, more than 1,000 kilometers away, in the Wanda Tiger Ridge Mountain Park in Changbai Mountain, many teenagers were also sliding, jumping and flipping, challenging their limits again and again, and following Su Yiming's footsteps.
The youngest of them is only seven or eight years old, and the eldest is only about 20 years old. Slopes, skills, big jumps, different sports, different ages, the same is the youthful color that blooms in the ice and snow. In their eyes, Su Yiming, who rushed out of this park, is an idol and a target, and the best way for them to cheer Su Yiming is to climb to his height.
When the 31-year-old Qi Guangpu stood on the Olympic field for the fourth time, in addition to the audience, there were also his family, former coaches and teammates who were sitting in front of the TV in Changchun. Every time he takes off, it will cause the breath of everyone at the scene, and every time he lands steadily, he will get a full house of applause.

Behind the shining arena of the Winter Olympics is the time spent on the training ground polishing themselves day after day, and it is also the result of the efforts of many Icemen.
Zhang Zhiwei, the coach who led Zhang Yangming and Xu Mingfu to participate in the alpine skiing project of the Beijing Winter Olympics, recalled the training time at the Beidahu Ski Resort in Jilin And still sighed. "When we were training at the Great Lakes Ski Resort in 2014, we had to live in the homes of villagers at the bottom of the mountain, cook our own meals, and sometimes have to carry our own equipment to climb the mountain."
With the successful bid for the Beijing Winter Olympics and Jilin Province's continuous investment in the ice and snow industry, such harsh conditions are gone. "Now the Great Beidahu Ski Resort has very complete training conditions, and this year,the newly opened Wanfeng Ski Resort in Tonghua has also opened two ski trails for athletes to train." Zhang Zhiwei said.
Today, some of Jilin's ice and snow training facilities have caught up with world-class levels. Mao Dechang, head of the Changbai Mountain Wanda Tiger Ridge Mountain Park, told reporters that it was in this park that Su Yiming broke through the two difficulties of 1620 and 1800 in two consecutive years. "In order to ensure the safety of Yiming's opening action, we invited the domestic venue shaping experts to do as much standard as possible to ensure safety." Mao Dechang said.
Enjoy! You who fall in love with snow and ice
In the past few days, the attention of the Beijing Winter Olympics is "hot with the same frequency", as well as the major snow fields in Jilin Province. "I've never seen so many people at the Great Lakes Ski Resort." Sun Yan, a Jilin citizen with three years of skiing experience, said.
In fact, during the entire Spring Festival, the major ski resorts in Jilin Province fully showed the heat of ice and snow brought by the Winter Olympics. Not only is the Beijing Winter Olympics mascot "ice pier" difficult to find, but also in various ski resorts, there are also hot scenes of "a board is difficult to find", "coach is difficult to seek", and even a "chair is difficult to find" for dining.
"We also have a situation where there are far more skateboards than skate skis, and more and more people are pursuing higher technology." Mao Dechang said, "In the ski parks with beginner and intermediate difficulty, more and more ski enthusiasts are trying the excitement brought by obstacles and slopes. ”
With the help of the Beijing Winter Olympics, in recent years, Jilin Province, located in the world's golden latitude of ice and snow, has built 54 ski resorts, with a maximum number of 100,000 visitors in a single day. In the 2021-2022 snow season, the tourism reception scale of Jilin Snow Season is expected to reach 85 million person-times, achieving a total income of 170 billion yuan.
There are many more teenagers who are beginning to be exposed to ice and snow and fall in love with ice and snow. In Changchun, funded by the education department, the ski resort provides services such as transportation, ski equipment, insurance and ski instructors, so that sixth-grade primary school students in the city can voluntarily choose to participate in free ski lessons.
The son of Liu Yuqi, a citizen of Changchun, was actively involved. After watching Su Yiming's game at the Winter Olympics, her son had the idea of learning snowboarding. "If in the future he wants to go on the path of professional skiing, I will fully support him." Liu Yuqi said. (End)
