"At first glance, I don't know what the song is like, and then I listen to it." This is a lyric and a winter Olympics figure skating commentary.
Figure skating, considered the crown jewel of the Winter Olympics, has a much older history than the Winter Olympics itself. From the moment of birth, figure skating is inseparable from aesthetics and romance, and has been described as "ballet on ice".
At every Winter Olympics, figure skating is one of the latest events to decide the gold medal, which is a good finale. Tomorrow night, the penultimate day of the Beijing Winter Olympics schedule, figure skating will compete for the final gold medal – pair skating.
This is a special single event, completed by a man and a woman, in the pair skating project, whether it is an "ice couple" or a real couple, there have been countless classic love stories.
Pang Qing Tong Jian Ice Art Center
Feel the beauty of figure skating
On the east fifth ring road, there is a small courtyard in the northeast corner of the Pingfang Bridge, and in the distance you can see a pair of silver double sculptures in the courtyard, and behind the sculpture is a white air film building. This is the Pang Qing Tong Jian Ice Art Center, covered with air film, which is an Olympic standard ice rink. The pair of statues borrowed the image of the pair of figure skating world champions.
It's the weekend, and there are a lot of kids practicing in the Ice Art Center. Some of them have just come into contact with figure skating, and in the corner of the ice rink, they are slowly practicing skating. Some are already skilled, and can spin and jump on the ice.
On the second floor is the office of Tong Jian, a former figure skater, World Champion and Winter Olympic silver medalist who, after retiring, founded the Ice Art Center.
"The figure skating project is very special, it is a multi-form comprehensive display project such as sports, dance, music, etc., and it is extremely ornamental." Tong Jian talked about the projects he loved all his life, such as several family treasures, "When we ordinary audiences appreciate it, we can see the expressiveness of athletes. For example, to interpret a love story, the athlete's shape, form, expression, and costume are not in place. Simply put, it is whether you can see the beauty in it and feel the most true and beautiful pursuit. When you appreciate it, can you feel a sense of pleasure? "If you have a certain viewing base, you can taste the doorway through some unique connection design between athletes before and between difficult moves."
When Tong Jian was interviewed, his wife Pang Qing was also busy. Born in the same year in the ice city of Harbin, the two began to partner at the age of 14 and participated in four Winter Olympic Games. In 2011, Tong Jian successfully proposed marriage on ice. In 2016, the two were happily married. After marriage, I was happy to have a son and a daughter. We have known each other for nearly thirty years and have been happy.
"We really can't hold on, otherwise we really want to participate in the Winter Olympics in front of our own homes." Tong Jian said that after retiring, they did not leave the ice and snow, training students, organizing events, ice performances, public welfare activities, etc., and they were very happy.
"With the vigorous promotion of ice and snow sports in our country, the per capita income level has continued to increase, and there are many more participants in ice and snow sports than when I was exposed to ice and snow when I was a child." Therefore, now not only can we see that the number of people in the figure skating doorway is changing, but also the number of people who are personally involved in it.
At pangqing tong jian ice art center, many children go to ice before school age. "Some of them, you can really say, grew up on ice." Tong Jian said that since the age of two and a half, one child has been taken by his mother to accompany his sister to practice figure skating. Considering that there are more and more such families with two or even three children, the mother and baby room has been added here in addition to daily training and leisure facilities.
Looking at the children "dancing" on the ice rink, Tong Jian's eyes were full of shadows when he first went to ice. He said that participating in figure skating training can improve the shape, manners and temperament of teenagers, "Figure skating has very high requirements for the artistic expression of athletes. Excellent athletes can combine technical movements, musical rhythms, costumes and costumes to tell the audience a perfect story. ”

The fire tree honeysuckle does not sleep, and the glitter shines through the New Year. In the Blue Harbor, the 14th Festival of Lights continues to bloom, with brilliant lights and shadows lighting up the dark night sky, and the elements of the Winter Olympics making romantic ice and snow fly.
"Look, this shape is so cute!" Through the colorful light trees, Liu Xiaoya came to the Copper Ball Square on the west side of the business circle, and her eyes lit up with dynamic ski figure sculptures. "Is this snowboarding?" Liu Xiaoya opened her arms next to one of the sculptures wearing ski clothes and stepping on skis, and played the "imitation show", "This year's light show is really suitable, full of ice and snow elements, especially the atmosphere of the Winter Olympics." ”
Entering the business circle, three round and rolling giant panda sculptures incarnated as tourists, holding up their mobile phones to take "concave shapes" selfies, and their cute appearance was very funny, attracting passers-by to stop and take photos.
"Haha, they're having a snowball fight!" On the big steps, the luminous dolls that can be seen everywhere seem to be in the snow, and they are having fun, and Tong Tong, who is more than five years old, can't help but "punch in" one by one. Picking up the stairs, Tong Tong found the "New World" again, "There are snowflakes!" Tong Tong chased the ice and snow pattern projected on the ground and "stepped on" non-stop, playing happily. Beside her, a pair of little sisters were imitating the dolls in Eros Square and embracing each other enthusiastically. "The sculptures here are already very exotic, and coupled with the surrounding buildings, it feels like traveling in Europe, very romantic."
It is understood that this year's Blue Harbor Light Festival will last until February 28. The relevant person in charge said that this year's light node theme Beijing Winter Olympics, with a naïve and humorous perspective, to create a unique winter sports figure image, dotted in various positions in the business district; with bright and bold color matching to decorate the winter, to create a happy, interesting and vibrant winter sports paradise; with the theme of winter outdoor sports, to create a winter outdoor sports ice and snow park, to convey joy, creativity and sports energy to people, to open a vibrant new year.
In the central square, there is a burst of laughter and laughter from the outdoor ice rink. "Skating in such a dreamy light is more distinctive than indoors." Tian Lei dressed his son with good equipment, and rented an orange ski assistant, and the father and son carefully walked onto the ice rink, "Even if the skating is not so professional, at least let the children experience it, and have more concepts when watching the Winter Olympics." ”
If you are tired of playing, you can also taste the food.
