Many spectators after watching the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, found that many countries and regions that only sent one or two athletes signed up to participate in alpine skiing projects, it is natural to think that alpine skiing is a very low threshold project, in fact, alpine skiing for athletes' technical, physical requirements are very high, the reason why the number of participants is large is because the project has relatively low requirements for venues and equipment, and the cost of training athletes is relatively low. In addition, this project is very dangerous, and it is not easy to complete the race smoothly, so no matter what the results of Xu Mingfu and Zhang Yangming are, praise them!
