Experience the joy of snow sports
On the afternoon of February 12, the reporter came to the champion ice rink located in Bailian City. The nearly 1,000-square-meter ice rink has attracted many citizens to "punch in" and unlock ice and snow sports skills.
Snow sports enthusiasts lined up to collect their gear. After tying up your knee pads and putting on your skates, excitedly rush into the ice rink to enjoy ice sports. Most of the people on the scene are beginners, they are holding each other, or sliding along the supporting wall, "toddler" on the crystal ice.
Overcoming falls is the first difficulty that many beginners encounter when they challenge the ice surface. Although many citizens fell on the ice again and again, the vast majority of them stood up and continued to practice, and their enthusiasm for learning did not diminish at all. "I've been exposed to rollerblading before, but this is the first time I've skated on a real ice rink, and it's a little difficult at first, and you can skate smoothly after practicing a few more times." Ms. Zhang, a citizen, said that the Winter Olympics have given her more understanding of ice and snow projects, and she also wants to experience other sports, such as skiing.
On the ice, beginners are careful, while "old players" are free to put away. Li Xiaoxue, 17, danced on the ice rink, sometimes spinning gracefully and jumping lightly. Li Xiaoxue told reporters that figure skating is her hobby, and she has learned a lot of technical moves, and the biggest goal at the moment is to overcome "a week and a half jumps". "Now I can only turn enough laps, but I can't fall on the ice, and I'm still a little scared." My idol is Yusuke Habu, and I want to be like him, and through training, I can successfully complete the actions I want to do. ”
As the only real ice skating rink in Yangpu, champion ice rink has opened professional training courses such as figure skating and ice hockey since its opening to meet the diverse ice and snow sports needs of the public. In recent years, the number of visitors to the ice rink has been growing every year, and this time, taking advantage of the East Wind of the Winter Olympics, the passenger flow of the champion ice rink, including the number of students, has increased significantly. "The number of people is about two to three times higher than before. We can guarantee a maximum of about 150 people on the ice, which is also to ensure the safety of customers. Champion Ice Rink manager Fang Heping said.
Champion ice rink figure skating coach Meng Fantao said that over the years of coaching, he has not only seen the continuous growth of the number of students, but also witnessed the change in everyone's mentality. "In the past, everyone wanted to experience this sport more, but now more and more people are willing to really learn figure skating, and many children say that after learning figure skating, they feel more confident and want to keep learning."
Ice and snow sports are inseparable from the support of the venue. In the future, Yangpu District will also vigorously develop winter projects, and more ice and snow venues will be built, so that more and more citizens will become ice and snow sports enthusiasts and be willing to experience the speed and passion of ice and snow sports.
