Xinhua News Agency, Beijing, Yanqing, February 13 (Reporter Zhang Xiao, Ma Bangjie) Sun Fan, the leader of the Chinese steel frame snow team, said on the 13th that the Chinese steel frame snow car team members are very young and have not yet reached the best sports age, relying on the development of China's ice and snow industry and the strong support of the state, I believe that in the future, China's steel frame snow car will have better performance on the basis of the winter Olympic bronze medal.
At this Winter Olympics, the Chinese Steel Frame Snow Team sent the four most people in history to participate, all of which were young athletes participating in the Winter Olympics for the first time. In the end, the male player Yan Wengang won a valuable bronze medal, Yin Zheng won the men's 5th place, Zhao Dan and Li Yuxi won the women's 9th and 14th places respectively. This is a surprise for the Chinese steel frame snow team, which has been established for less than 7 years and some players have not yet practiced for 3 years.
Sun Fan said that the China Steel Frame Snow Team has entered a period of rapid development since Geng Wenqiang won the men's 13th place in Pyeongchang when he first participated in the Winter Olympics. Under the leadership of the head coach, the overall strength has been continuously improved, and it has won the North American Cup, the European Cup and even the World Cup in the international arena, laying the foundation for sliding out of the world speed on the Yanqing Circuit.
Head coach Marg Andreas Schmid said that after the completion of this Winter Olympic Games, the team will review and summarize in time. He believes that the players can do better, and Yan Wengang has the ability to win the gold medal. "We often look at ourselves, which is one of the reasons why the young team is getting stronger so fast." He said that the Chinese team cannot completely copy and copy foreign experience, but must be used by me. As Chinese runners accumulate more taxis, they can further understand the characteristics of different tracks in Europe and the United States, adapt to various unexpected situations such as snowfall, and continue to narrow the gap with foreign celebrities.
Sun Fan said that the rapid development of China's steel frame snowmobile, in addition to the collective efforts of outstanding athletes, coaches, staff and support forces of all parties, also thanks to the vigorous development of China's ice and snow sports industry and the strong support of the state, which includes scientific and technological training system, funding guarantee, domestic brand equipment research and development and other aspects of the help.
In this Winter Olympic Games, a large number of spectators became interested in this niche sport because of the hard work of Yan Wengang, Yin Zheng, Zhao Dan and Li Yuxi on the "Snow Tour Dragon" track.
Sun Fan and Schmid both said that on foreign tracks, a large number of teenagers and even preschoolers can often be seen sliding smoothly from the highest point of the track. Now, Yanqing has China's first toboggan track "Snow Dragon", which is not only one of the most advanced and well-protected tracks in the world, but also has a public entrance that will open after the race to facilitate sliding in the low-speed skating section.
So far, the German team has won 6 gold medals in the skid event at the Beijing Winter Olympics. Schmid said that Winter Sports in Germany has a long history of development, with a number of bobsleigh tracks, and many people received special training when they were teenagers. Most of the Chinese athletes are transferred from athletics, and if there are more professional talent reserves, the future is more promising.
Sun Fan also "brought goods" for the "Snow Dragon" on the spot. He says the best way to get to know a project is to take a slide. He laughed and said: "It's like a person who can't drive, and suddenly driving at high speed is definitely dangerous." But in fact, after some training, it is possible to achieve safe coasting. Before our team organized the staff to experience the Yanqing circuit, everyone had a lot of fun. ”
