Qi 31-year-old veteran Qi Guangpu, who has participated in the Winter Olympics four times, won the championship with a high score of 129 in the men's aerial skills competition of freestyle skiing, despite the good performance of his main opponent. After 16 years, China's freestyle skiing aerial skills male athletes once again reached the highest podium of the Winter Olympics. The Beijing Winter Olympics have amazing talents, exciting breakthrough moments, bloody tenacious struggles, and more tearful persistence.
On February 5, 2022, at the women's 3,000m final of the beijing Winter Olympics, the nearly 50-year-old German speed skater Claudia Pesch Steiner smiled and crossed the finish line, marking her eighth time in the Winter Olympics. Her perseverance and self-confidence have won the admiration and love of Chinese netizens. Veterans are not old, no matter what the ending, they are creating their own legends.
If it weren't for persistence, we wouldn't have seen four Winter Olympic veterans and Qi Guangpu on the podium. Struggle a few times, encounter several setbacks, never give up, never back down. "I've been waiting for this gold medal for 12 years!" When Fan Kexin said this, he was already crying. Liu Jiayu, who also participated in the winter olympic snowboarding event four times, admitted frankly, "Hold on, believe in yourself... I still have a dream to come true. "The famous Japanese figure skater Yusei Yusei lost his medal due to two falls." If everyone can put aside the winner and the loser and feel that I am a beautiful skater, then persistence makes sense. ”
Because I don't give up, I am more and more brave, and because of persistence, "faster, higher and stronger" becomes possible. Regardless of the final result, they have earned respect by perseverance and passed on the spirit of perseverance to us off the field.
Veterans are not only for the highest honor, but also for the movement that humanity pursues. No matter how old you are, a "moving heart" is always beating. French veteran John Carraré, 41, won a silver medal in the alpine skiing men's downhill event, becoming the oldest medalist to date at the Beijing Olympics. Lindsay Jacobellis, a 36-year-old American snowboarder, missed a gold medal at the Turin Winter Olympics 16 years ago after falling in front of the finish line and failing to win medals at three subsequent Winter Olympics. After the Fifth Winter Olympics, Jacobellis' dream finally came true in Beijing! Training is more scientific, nutrition and sports medicine are more advanced, and veterans appear on the field more frequently. Yes, you can never underestimate "a champion's heart".
The Beijing Winter Olympics are coming to an end, and both rookies and veterans have won our heartfelt applause and applause. "As long as the athletes who can come to the Winter Olympics are great." The power of persistence makes the Olympic Games shine.
