In the Beijing Winter Olympics snowboarding women's big jumping qualification tournament held on the 14th, Chinese young jung reached the final for the first time, creating the history of Chinese skiing in this event. From Gu Ailing and Su Yiming to Jung, at the Winter Olympics, Chinese snowboarding and freestyle skiing have made breakthroughs in the big jumping and slope obstacle courses. Talking about the reasons, Li Yang, the leader of the two national teams, smiled: "If you play our project, if you don't like it, you can't get results." ”
Jung is a girl who is not very talented, but has a great love for snowboarding. Born in Jilin Province, she went to Canada with her mother as a child and was exposed to snowboarding. At first, his mother was afraid that skiing would delay the cultural lessons, and Jung assured his mother that he would not affect his studies and study harder in order to practice skiing. After being selected for the national team last year, Jung practiced harder and more diligently than anyone else, sometimes suffering from minor injuries and having to continue practicing after a day or two off. In October last year, at the Big Jump World Cup in Kuhl, Switzerland, Jung reached the final in his first World Cup, becoming China's "first man". Before the final, she was injured in training and still insisted on playing. "We stopped." Li Yang said.
The Winter Olympics is only the second time that Jung has participated in a high-level international event on the big jumping platform, and the Chinese team did not qualify for the project at the last Winter Olympics. In the qualifiers on the 14th, the little girl successfully "counterattacked" with the last two jumps in the first round of mistakes, rewriting the history of Chinese veneerboards again. "Maybe because I haven't participated in many big competitions, and I'm not the main player of the punch, so there is no pressure and I can't get out." Li Yang said that Jung was very excited after reaching the final, "Or how about the third jump against the buffer zone baffle?" When they land, people are ignorant. ”
In fact, not only Jung, including Su Yiming and Gu Ailing, but also Liu Jiayu and Cai Xuetong of the U-shaped field team that also belong to the "park" project, all of them are full of enthusiasm for the projects they are engaged in. "The cultural connotations of these projects are very similar, love, challenge, enjoyment, mutual help, the whole circle is very harmonious, not for the championship you fight for." Usually, Li Yang also pays attention to encouraging team members to make friends with foreign skaters, show personality, and enrich the spiritual world outside the arena. In the past two cycles, the atmosphere of these teams has become more and more "lively", no longer just staring at the results, all day long, the team members have learned to enjoy the sport itself. "Engaging in this project and blindly practicing technology behind closed doors is what should be done in the early stage of development." Li Yang said, "To a certain extent, it is impossible to make a breakthrough without understanding its culture and laws and integrating into this circle." ”
In addition, the expansion of the project's influence and the openness of the personnel composition are also important reasons for the breakthrough, "After the success of Beijing's bid to host the Winter Olympics, the popularity of snowboarding in China has been greatly improved, and since 2015, many outstanding talents have emerged from various ways and enriched into our talent pool, and the national team's selection structure is no longer single." "For example, Su Yiming and Jung, both received skiing enlightenment in their families, and after emerging, they were recruited into the national training team, from equipment, logistics, support teams to participation opportunities, they have received more systematic support, coupled with their own efforts, the progress is very great." Coupled with the increasing abundance of resources in all aspects, which has promoted the overall development of the project, a breakthrough is a matter of course. Li Yang said.
