On February 16, in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics Freestyle Skiing Men's Aerial Skills Final, 31-year-old veteran Qi Guangpu brilliantly completed the difficulty coefficient of 5.0, winning the championship with a high score of 129 points, and the four dynasties finally realized their dreams! His parents, wives and children cheered.
The 4-year-old and dragon phoenix fetus sister was sent to practice skills The sister gave up his 8-year-old to take the 5th place in the country
On October 20, 1990, Qi Guangpu was born in an ordinary family in Peicheng Town, Pei County, Jiangsu Province, he and his sister are longfeng fetus, his father Qi Juntao and mother Yang Yunling are employees of the County Sugar, Tobacco and Liquor Company, a subordinate unit of the Peixian Old Commercial Bureau.
Qi Juntao likes sports and hopes that a pair of children can engage in sports in the future, and when the brothers and sisters were 4 years old, Qi Juntao sent them to the local sports school to practice skills. "Both brothers and sisters are physically better than their peers, and no one has run through them when they run in the alleys."
Get up at 5 o'clock every day, train until 7 o'clock and then go to school; continue training after school at 4 p.m., and go home at 7 or 8 o'clock in the evening... This schedule is the daily life of Qi Guangpu's brothers and sisters.
Qi Juntao revealed that Qi Guangpu was very small from a young age, standing first in the queues of various sports teams, but he was a model student generally recognized by coaches, cleaning up the housekeeping every day, the quilt and clothes were neatly folded, "Pu Pu is introverted, in addition to learning training, he is a well-behaved man in life." ”
At that time, Qi Guangpu was only 5 years old, but he was "very smart", and his image, figure and receptivity were very strong. Three years later, Qi Guangpu first appeared in the 14th Provincial Games of Jiangsu, and in 1998, he and his teammates won the skill men's doubles championship. In the same year, at the National Skills Championship held in Nanning, Guangxi, Qi Guangpu won the 5th place in the junior group of skill men's doubles, and won the national ranking at the age of 8.
Father Qi Juntao said that the road to sports is too arduous, and the daughter of Long Feng is because she cannot stand the hardships of skill training, and she will not return to sports school after more than 1 year of training. Unlike his son, he can grit his teeth to overcome the high load pressure brought by training to the body, and he also likes the aerial skills project from the bottom of his heart.
Outsiders do not know that he is Han Xiaopeng's nephew Mother visited him on a 99 yuan green-skinned train
In 1999, Peixian Sports School launched a new project trampoline, and because Qi Guangpu was very flexible, he was transferred to the trampoline team for training. In the Jiangsu Trampoline Competition, Qi Guangpu won the championship. 9-year-old Qi Guangpu has successively won gold and silver, which makes him full of confidence.
In 1995, when the coach of the Changchun Winter Project came to Jiangsu to buy equipment, he took a fancy to Han Xiaopeng and took him to Changchun to practice skiing. As Han Xiaopeng became increasingly successful in skiing (he won the championship in the men's aerial skills of freestyle skiing at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin and was also the gold medalist in China's first winter Olympics snow sports), in 2000, Changchun ski instructors came to Jiangsu again to select materials and picked Qi Guangpu.
Han Xiaopeng's enlightenment coach Liu Dezhen said: "The skills and trampoline projects in the northeast are not as strong as Jiangsu, and the freestyle skiing aerial skills project is to turn over in the air, and this basic skill is actually the most difficult." ”
Interestingly, Qi Guangpu also has a small secret, Qi Guangpu and his brother Han Xiaopeng are actually relatives, according to the generation Qi Guangpu should call Han Xiaopeng uncle, but Qi Guangpu rarely tells others, he has been using solid training to gradually improve his ability.

The son's departure from home is a huge ordeal for Qi Juntao and his wife, since Qi Guangpu left home for Changchun at the age of 9, he has not returned home for a Spring Festival.
Every year, her mother Yang Yunling had to travel to and from Xuzhou to Changchun on the long-distance train many times, and she recalled, "From the earliest 99 yuan, hard seats, 26 hours, to today's high-speed rail, I can't remember how many times I have traveled back and forth." ”
13 World Championships canonized as the "King of Difficulty" for two consecutive Winter Olympics without the podium
In 2006, at the age of 16, Qi Guangpu entered the freestyle skiing aerial skills national youth team.
He was the 11th National Winter Games freestyle skiing aerial skills men's team champion in 2008 and the 11th National Games in 2009.
What makes his parents very distressed is that Qi Guangpu has never reported good news or worry, and he has never told his family about injuries, and when he participated in the competition in Moscow in 2009, Qi Guangpu once landed on the ground with his head on the ground, and was once diagnosed with a slight concussion, and as a result, when he returned home from the holiday, he only said, "Nothing at all." ”
At the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, the Chinese team of 4 participated, led by the defending champion Han Xiaopeng, veteran Liu Zhongqing, qi Guangpu and Jia Zongyang, who participated in the Winter Olympics for the first time. In that competition, veteran Liu Zhongqing won a bronze medal, which was the best of the 4, while Jia Zongyang and Qi Guangpu, one 6th and one 7th, ended their first Winter Olympics trip in a decent manner.
This is the first Olympic trip of 19-year-old Qi Guangpu, and the 7th place is a breakthrough and a spur for him to experience the world. Such a result is not very good, but for Qi Guangpu, he is still full of confidence in the future.
In the following three years, the increasingly mature Qi Guangpu successively won the World Cup sub-station championship, the World Cup championship and the World Championship champion successively. Especially at the 2013 World Championships, he showed off the "Skyrim Action" with a difficulty factor of 5.0, which is a three-week backwards and 1800-degree rotation. This "Skyrim Action" ushered in a high score of 138 points for him, winning the world championship that year and the title of "King of Difficulty".
At the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, Qi Guangpu appeared with the aura of "the world's first difficult person", and in the first round of the final, he jumped out of the second highest score of all the players of the day, 121.24 points, which was only surpassed by the final gold medalist Belarusian Anton Kushniel in the final.
However, the biggest feature of the freestyle ski aerial skills program is also the most exciting point, that is, there is no fault tolerance rate. Before the final jump of the finals, the scores were zeroed out and the runners were on the same running line. As a result, Qi Guangpu only jumped 90 points, ranking at the bottom of the last 4 players, and for the first time, he watched his friend Jia Zongyang of the same age climb to the podium of the Winter Olympics, and Jia Zongyang won a bronze medal.
Folding Pyeongchang retired from school to marry and have children
In the 2014-15 season, the FIS once said of Qi Guangpu, "If you have questioned who is the king of current aerial skills before, then Qi Guangpu can put an end to this problem." ”
At the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, Qi Guangpu, who ranked first in the first round of the final, made a mistake when landing in the second round and missed the top 6. Three Olympic Games have passed by the podium, for such a result, Qi Guangpu is unwilling, and teammate Jia Zongyang went further and won the silver medal. The results of not advancing and retreating also made Qi Guangpu choose to retire briefly after the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics and go to the campus for further study.
"Before I had only training in my life track, this opportunity allowed me to briefly see the scenery on the student track, which is also a kind of self-adjustment."
At the same time, he also completed the task of marrying and having a daughter. Qi Guangpu's wife, Zhao Shanshan, is a freestyle skiing aerial athlete who has won the National Games. In this Olympic Games, she has also been cheering for her husband Qi Guangpu.
University life has broadened Qi Guangpu's horizons, and from the experience of a world champion and Olympic champion around him, Qi Guangpu has rekindled his fighting spirit and plans to return to the field. Just before his comeback, the birth of his daughter Tong Tong made him more deeply understand the meaning of the word "responsibility".
Beijing Winter Olympics Dream Immortal Fight Difficulty Wang Climbed to the Top
But the love in his heart made Qi Guangpu return to his beloved team and continue to fight.
On December 12, 2021, in the 2021-22 Freestyle Skiing Aerial Skills World Cup in Ruka, Finland, Qi Guangpu formed a Chinese team with Xu Mengtao and Sun Jiajun, and won the championship with a total score of 354.87 points.
In Beijing in 2022, Qi Guangpu once again stood on the winter Olympic field. He grew from a "young Chinese general" when he first competed to a "four-dynasty elder".
On the evening of February 10, at the Genting Ski Park in Zhangjiakou, the Chinese team composed of Xu Mengtao, Jia Zongyang and Qi Guangpu won the silver medal with 324.22 points in the Beijing Winter Olympics freestyle skiing aerial skills mixed team final.
In the game, Jia Zongyang, the second to appear, made a mistake when he completed the action and landed. Faced with great pressure, Qi Guangpu, who finally appeared, helped the Chinese team successfully stand on the podium with a set of perfect moves.
Jia Zongyang choked up and apologized, while Xu Mengtao and Qi Guangpu comforted him for the first time, which was a silver medal with temperature. After this, Qi Guangpu quickly adjusted his form and prepared for the single-player competition.
In the men's freestyle skiing final on the evening of February 17, Qi Guangpu and Jia Zongyang, who advanced as the first and second in the preliminary round, both ranked in the top six in the first round of the small final. In the second round, Russian Olympic Committee player Boulov took the lead in completing the 5.0 difficulty and scored 129 points.
Jia Zongyang then made a mistake and missed the final, leaving Qi Guangpu alone, but Jia Zongyang continued to cheer him up.
In the final showdown, 5 of the 6 people chose a difficulty of 5.0, and Qi Guangpu was one of them, which was also his second attempt at the 5.0 difficulty action for a long time.
From the silence of the whole audience that began to slide, to the explosion-like cheers of the whole audience after landing smoothly, Qi Guangpu reproduced the true color of the "difficulty king".
After the game, Qi Guangpu said that he withstood the pressure and did not live up to everyone's expectations, nor did he live up to the strength given to him by Jia Zongyang. This gold medal belongs to him and Jia Zongyang, and even more belongs to the Chinese team.
In 16 years, Qi Guangpu's dream came true, and he could finally send two golden piers to his precious daughter who had not been seen for 1 year.
Qi Guangpu excitedly wrote on Weibo: "Tong Tong, Dad has fulfilled his promise to you, won you two gold piers, and waited for Dad to come home from vacation to accompany you well." ”
