At the Beijing Winter Olympics, Chinese ice and snow athletes fought tenaciously and bravely to be the first, and constantly achieved new breakthroughs. They gave a wonderful performance, and also left a moving figure in the hearts of the audience. Ice and snow, true feelings on and off the field, witty interviews... These athletes enjoy the game with vigor and vitality, show themselves calmly and confidently, and present a high-spirited spirit.

Confident and calm, the courage to perform

On February 14, in the women's big jumping qualifying tournament for snowboarding at the Beijing Winter Olympics, Jung performed well and got a ticket to the final. After completing the game, 19-year-old Jung stretched out his arms to celebrate, but he was too excited to control his speed, and one of the heels flipped out of the fence. She got up from the ground, covered her face with her hands, and somewhat shyly buried her head in the snow on the fence, and got up again and flipped back to the inside of the fence. This interesting scene under the lens made many viewers remember this cute snowboarder.

On February 15, in the final of the women's big jump in snowboarding, Jung finished fifth. After the game, she was full of joy: "I want to prove to the world that the athletes of the Chinese team have this strength and can make difficult moves at a high level." She playfully added: "Now, I want to go home and eat cold noodles." ”

The expression of grounding gas and the generous temperament of falling down present a richer and three-dimensional athlete image. The athletes' easy-going speech and demeanor have brought them closer to the public.

On February 12, after winning the speed skating men's 500-meter event, Gao Tingyu's sentence "across the road" spread across the internet. This word, which means "maverick" in the dialect, explains to some extent the reason why the northeast boy won the championship: Gao Tingyu always maintained a high degree of self-discipline, put all his energy into training, even "dreaming of skating", and finally won the gold medal that generations of speed skaters have waited for for 42 years.

"It's just a game, and there are still many stages in my life, and I can't frame myself with a game." In Gao Tingyu's view, this gold medal is just the beginning, and he hopes that more people will start to pay attention to the sport of speed skating from now on.

On the ice, there is not only speed and passion, but also moving melodies and beautiful dances. In the figure skating men's single skating competition, Jin Boyang's performance made the capital stadium resound with endless applause. "It was a wonderful feeling to show such a mental outlook at the Winter Olympics on my doorstep." Jin Boyang said: "Although there was a small mistake, I definitely defeated myself today. ”

The pursuit of excellence, laughter to success or failure

On February 14, the temperature plummeted. Kong Fanyu increased the difficulty to 4.293, which is the highest difficulty action she can complete, and it is also the action that determines the final ranking.

Departure, taxiing, taking off, flipping in the air, landing... Kong Fanyu made a mistake and fell heavily on the snow, and soon she stood up again, her face covered with snow and water, her lips closed and waiting for the score - freestyle skiing women's aerial skills final, Kong Fanyu's final result was sixth.

"Being able to get back on the field after surgery and challenge myself to the highest difficulty is the biggest breakthrough for me." For the result, Kong Fanyu felt some regret, she tried her best to control the tears and stubbornly said: "In this arena, I have no other ideas, that is, I want to fight for a gold medal for the Chinese team." ”

Life can have a few beats. Breaking through the limits and pursuing excellence is a wonderful interpretation of the Olympic spirit by Chinese ice and snow athletes.

In the figure skating ice dance free dance competition on February 14, the Wang Shiyue/Liu Xinyu group competed with the coach to draw the signature action of "Kung Fu Panda" while waiting for the score. As Liu Xinyu said: "Although we are not the top players in the world, we are willing to try and break through." ”

Victory is gratifying, and defeat is also calm. In a game, no matter what level they are at, athletes have a relentless pursuit of surpassing themselves.

Love snow and ice and inspire the public

On February 13, after the women's 3000m relay race of short track speed skating, Fan Kexin's kiss on the ice touched countless spectators. On the ice rink, Fan Kexin has suffered pains and setbacks, but also gained strength, friendship and glory. This kiss, telling the thanks, expressing love. "Thanks to the Beijing Winter Olympics for giving me the opportunity to show myself, I love short track speed skating and I want to keep skating." Fan Kexin said.

The Beijing Winter Olympics is not only a stage for athletes to show their superb level, but also a platform for the public to contact ice and snow sports.

Ending the first Winter Olympics trip with 2 wins and 7 losses, the young Chinese curling mixed doubles duo Fan Suyuan / Ling Zhi has regrets and more expectations. The tactical exchanges between the two on the field and Ling Zhi's super ice-rubbing ability are all "circle fans". The two also said they hope that the attention to them will allow more people to participate in curling.

"Curling is an intellectually testing sport with a unique charm. The more people experience it, the more people will fall in love with the project. Ling Zhi said: "The mass base is strong, and the strength of our national team can be continuously improved." ”

As one of the seven major events of the Winter Olympic Games, biathlon will be known to more people because of the Beijing Winter Olympics, and has aroused the interest of many people. "Everyone came to see our game and they thought the project was very interesting, and if I could achieve that, I would be content." Chu Yuanmeng, a member of the Chinese biathlon team, said.
