"If I can participate in the Olympics, I feel like I've already won." When he said this, Yang Shuorui was very serious, and his eyes that had been sewn up before in the sun were wider open, making the wound at the corner of his left eye more obvious. "It still hurts when I put on the snow glasses, and my eyes can't be opened so wide, but it's much better."
She fell while stepping on the field before the big jump, when she wanted to try the 1080 move, but unexpectedly happened. Breaking the corner of the eye needs to be stitched, but Yang Shuorui does not want to miss her first Winter Olympics because of this injury, she took the injury to participate in the big jumping competition, although she did not qualify, but the tenacious spirit left a deep impression.
On February 14, she appeared at the Genting Ski Park in Zhangjiakou to compete in the beijing Winter Olympics freestyle ski slope obstacle course qualification. In the first round of sliding, Yang Shuorui accidentally fell in the third obstacle, and she chose to give up the next action. On that slide, she scored only 18.46 points, ranking 21st out of 27 contestants. In the second slide, she completed her own set of moves, but the quality of the movements was not ideal, and the results improved, scoring 39.05 points, but it was still not enough for her to advance to the final stage of the competition that only 12 players could participate in, and her first Winter Olympics was over.
"The first time a Chinese athlete has participated in the Winter Olympics, I think it is meaningful. Because we started late, it was already great to get a place in the Winter Olympics in three years. Yang Shuorui said, "We started from scratch and want to catch them." It's going to take a lot of jumps, spins, countless attempts, and we can't afford to hurt, and we have to be able to withstand the pressure when we face injuries. ”
According to Yang Shuorui, she was originally an athlete practicing double board skating, and later received a notice of cross-border cross-discipline selection, she felt that this project was very novel, and she wanted to try. "After learning about the project, I found it to be quite interesting, the feeling of flying in the air, and the sense of accomplishment of successful landing are very good." She said, "But it's only three years, and you have to find a way to catch up with the athletes in the world." So every day was tiring, and I had to be a few days a day, but we stuck with it. ”
The sudden outbreak of the new crown epidemic also adversely affected Yang Shuorui's preparations, and she was planned to participate in ten World Cups before the Winter Olympics, but in the end there were only five stops left to participate. She must be better than every World Cup, and she can't make mistakes to get enough points to finally get a place. "It was a lot of pressure." She said, "I was really excited when I got the spot, because I always felt that there was little hope, but we did it, and we are very grateful to the coach and all the people who worked hard for it." ”
By participating in the Beijing Winter Olympics, Yang Shuorui has gained a deeper understanding of the projects he is training and participating in. Before she watched the video to train, trying to form her own action style, but when she really competed with the world's top masters, she saw the gap and understood why the same action, others scored higher, while her own scored lower. "The success rate of the vacated posture and the movement is very important, so you have to constantly improve the success rate through practice. And in terms of action quality and difficulty, it also needs to be improved. "I now know where to strengthen." ”
Not long ago, Yang Shuorui just celebrated his 18th birthday. With her age, if she can continue to improve and improve, she can completely compare with one to two Winter Olympics. She is also very confident about this, "I have gained happiness from it." She said frankly, "I am trying to get a good result in the next Winter Olympics." ”
