The wonderful Winter Olympics directly hit the | the improvement of the competitive strength of China's snow athletes The four major bases in Hebei are indispensable

The Beijing Winter Olympics are coming to an end, and in the past 15 days, Chinese ice and snow athletes have repeatedly surprised us. Especially in the non-advantageous projects of the past, Chinese athletes continue to make breakthroughs and are inspiring. Among them, the collective breakthrough of snow athletes is the most obvious. Up to now, the number of gold medals won by Chinese snow athletes in this Winter Olympics has surpassed the ice event, and the situation of "ice strong and snow weak" in China's ice and snow sports is changing.

Behind this gratifying change, there are also many Contributions from Hebei. As the host of most of the snow sports competitions of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, Zhangjiakou Has not only witnessed the production of more than half of the medals and the vast majority of breakthroughs in China's snow athletes, but also provided important support for the improvement of the strength of Chinese snow athletes in recent years.

In addition, it also witnessed the breakthrough of Chinese snow athletes at the Winter Olympic Games.

On February 5 and February 6, Hebei Snow Athletes completed their first breakthrough in biathlon and cross-country skiing at the Winter Olympics. Among them, Yan Xingyuan won the 15th place in the biathlon mixed relay competition, creating the best result of the Chinese team in the event.

Among them, in the team competition, the Chinese team played by Zhao Jiawen, Guo Yuhao, Zhao Zihe and Fan Haibin ranked tenth.

In the ski jumping event, the mainland achieved simultaneous participation in the men's and women's events for the first time, although there is still a gap between the overall strength and high-level athletes, but the number of participants has achieved a breakthrough.

Snow sports are the "gold medal winners" of the Winter Olympics. Of the 109 gold medals in the Beijing Winter Olympics, the number of gold medals in snow sports reached 76, more than double the number of gold medals in ice sports. The rapid development of China's snow projects has made the ice and snow projects show an increasingly balanced and go hand in hand pattern, which is undoubtedly a very gratifying change that Chinese ice and snow athletes have shown us at the Beijing Winter Olympics, and also enhanced the motivation and confidence for more Chinese ice and snow non-advantageous projects.

The four major bases in Hebei have helped improve the level of competition in China's snow sports

At the Beijing Winter Olympics, behind the breakthroughs made by Chinese snow athletes, there is no doubt that there are several generations of snow athletes who have made unremitting efforts, driven by China's ice and snow "please come in, go out" initiative, and supported by scientific training systems and means. At the same time, the four state-level training bases built by the State General Administration of Sport in Hebei are also indispensable.

"1073 days from 0 to the Olympics, I did it!" On February 15, after Song Qiwu finished all the matches, he posted this text on social media. At the Beijing Winter Olympics, he participated in all 4 sub-events that men's ski jumpers can participate in. Before 2018, he had "not even seen much snow."

Song Qiwu's breakthrough in ski jumping is inseparable from the training and improvement of the ski jumping training and scientific research base in Laiyuan, Hebei Province. This base not only allows the national training team to have its own high standard training venue, ends the history of long-term training abroad, the world's largest ski jumping wind tunnel in the base, but also greatly enhances the national training team's scientific research and training integration application capabilities, so that the pertinence and effectiveness of training have been significantly improved.

In December 2020, the National Ski Jumping Training Team entered the base. In just one month, Song Qiwu jumped 141.5 meters on the HS140 jump, becoming the first ski jumper in mainland China to skip 140 meters. With this base, at least 4 ski jumpers on the mainland jumped 140 meters, and other athletes also improved by leaps and bounds, with each athlete's performance increasing by an average of nearly 20 meters.

The Chengde National Snow Project Training Base, which has built the world's first air-film thermal insulation cross-country skiing track, provides good preparation conditions for the national cross-country skiing, biathlon and other training teams. The disc ski skating machine in the base is an indoor skiing and skating simulation equipment independently designed and developed by the mainland, and has become a "black technology" equipment for the national cross-country skiing training team to enhance its strength.

The National Cross-Country Skiing Training Team has been stationed at the base for nearly two years, and with the help of scientific and technological strength, the athletes' performance has been continuously improved. A study showed that through the comparison of the first five results of the 2021-2022 FIS points series, the sprint ski event increased by 7 seconds overall, and the long distance event improved by about 7 minutes on the same field, an improvement of 13.7%.

Before the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chongli Plateau (National Comprehensive) Training Base successively undertook 11 national training teams for snow sports, such as alpine skiing, freestyle skiing aerial skills, snow skills, U-shaped track skills, big jumping and slope obstacle skills, obstacle chases, snowboard obstacle chases, parallel giant slaloms, and cross-country skiing, creating conditions for them to carry out pre-race isolation training.

Every summer, the National Freestyle Skiing Aerial Skills Training Team will go to the Qinhuangdao Training Base of the State General Administration of Sport for summer training, using the pool to train and improve the difficulty of athletes' movements.

"For 15 years, the Qinhuangdao base is my home, and I spend about half a year here every year. Here accompanied me for four Winter Olympic Games, every corner has my struggle figure, witness my growth, give me the motivation to move forward. Thank you to the base for your support and support for our team. Xu Mengtao said. (Hebei Daily reporters Wang Weihong and Wang Junfeng)
