Li Wenlong failed to win Shandong's first Winter Olympic gold medal, but from any point of view, his first winter Olympic trip was a success.
Li Wenlong's success is not accidental. His short track speed skating team is the master of the Chinese Winter Olympic Army, from Yang Yang to Wang Mao, from Wu Dajing to Ren Ziwei, generation after generation of heroes have swept the world ice world and defended China's glory. At this Winter Olympics, the rise of China's short track speed skating men's team has become more and more obvious. In such a glorious team, Li Wenlong's achievements have been guaranteed to a certain extent.
However, the more excellent the team, the more difficult it is to stand on its feet, from entering the national team so far, as the smallest member of the team, Li Wenlong has experienced an unknown period of ups and downs, and once had a greater fluctuation in psychology. In the end, with the help of his family and coaches, he regained his confidence and began the sprint to the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Youth is Li Wenlong's label at the Beijing Winter Olympics, whether it is an ice knife bent, or a sudden fall, whether it is on the podium or nervously handing over the baton, on this childish face, always write sunshine and confidence.
This is a performance of enjoying the game, as a young player, Li Wenlong is neither shy because of his fledgling, nor is he complacent because of his sharp edge. As his enlightenment coach Yang Zhanyu said, he has the strength of first-class players, but lacks the experience of first-class players. In this context, Li Wenlong regarded the Winter Olympics as his "further training journey", every opponent's lead made him grow, and every transcendence was like saying goodbye to his past self.
Youth is also the memory that Li Wenlong left for the Winter Olympics on behalf of Shandong.
As one of the first shandong winter Olympic athletes to grow up, Li Wenlong witnessed Shandong's self-confidence and responsibility in the development of winter sports as a strong sports province, and Liu Xiaoying, head coach of the Shandong short track speed skating team, once said that without the silent efforts of superior departments and leaders and staff, the progress of the Shandong short track speed skating team would not be so rapid, and behind the players and coaches competing for gold and silver on the field, is the effective implementation and protection of the management mechanism.
A total of 5 Shandong athletes appeared at the Beijing Winter Olympics, the oldest of which is only 25 years old, which is the "vanguard" of the Shandong Winter Olympic Army, we have reason to believe that this valuable participation experience will become a springboard for their careers, and in the future Winter Olympic battlefield, Shandong athletes' performance will be better and better.
Rivers, lakes and seas leap by dragons, and mountains and peaks are the tigers.
The vast land of Qilu has a high-quality precipitation for the development of ice and snow sports, the Beijing Winter Olympics have awakened the genes of Qilu ice and snow, in this journey of "together to the future", the Shandong Legion has gradually grown into a dragon and tiger division, competing for the honor of ice and snow, and the first gold of the Winter Olympics is just around the corner.
