Turning over the roster of the 2022 China Winter Olympics sports delegation, we will find a news point: there are 78 coaches in the Chinese sports delegation, of which 51 are foreign teachers, and foreign teachers account for more than 65%. These foreign teachers come from 19 countries (regions) such as the United States, Canada, Russia, France, and Japan, and the number of 51 foreign teachers is also the largest number of Foreign teachers in China's previous Winter Olympics delegations.
At the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chinese delegation qualified for all 7 major events and 15 sub-events, and participated in 104 of all 109 sub-events, of which 35 sub-events achieved a "breakthrough of zero". One of the important reasons for such an unprecedented breakthrough is to achieve "introduction" in terms of coaching talents, that is, to introduce a team of international excellent coaches, so that they can become the booster of China's ice and snow "take-off". This is also the application of the "going out and inviting in" policy that the mainland has been practicing for many years in the field of foreign education.
China won gold and silver medals in the men's 1000m short track speed skating event, and in the previous short track speed skating mixed team relay competition, the Chinese team also won the championship, and the Chinese women's team also won the bronze medal in the women's relay. In the end, the results of 2 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze were significantly better than the answer sheets handed over by the chinese short track speed skating at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics last time, which was obviously inseparable from the Korean coach invited by the Chinese short track team.
The head coach of the Chinese short track speed skating team is South Korean Kim Sun-tae. As a gold medal coach in South Korea, Kim Sun-tae can speak fluent Chinese, and during the preparation for the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, he was diagnosed with bowel cancer, but still led the South Korean team to win 3 gold, 1 silver and 2 bronze at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, with impressive results.
Better known as the Winter Olympics 8 medal (6 gold) winner and South Korean short track speed skating star Ahn Hyun-so. He is a man with a great story, winning six Winter Olympic gold medals in his athletic career, three of which were won for the Korean team. But in 2011, he switched to Russia and changed his name to "Victor", winning three Winter Olympic gold medals for Russia at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. In October last year, Ahn Hyun-so followed Kim Sun-tae to China as a technical coach of the Chinese short track speed skating team, and the results of the Chinese short track speed skating this time also have a credit to Ahn Hyun-so.
The head coach of the Chinese 2nd winter team is The Norwegian Bjordalen Oleener, nicknamed "The King", who won three gold medals in the biathlon at the 2002 Winter Olympics and was known as the "King of Biathlon".
The 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Bjöldallen's sixth consecutive Winter Olympics, won a biathlon mixed relay gold medal, thus increasing his number of Winter Olympic medals to 13 (including 8 gold medals). In addition, Domlacheva In the Chinese coaching team, Daria is the wife of Bjør Darren, and the Belarusian player has also participated in 3 Winter Olympic Games, winning a total of 4 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze. After more than two years of hard work, the Chinese team has won 8 more qualifications in biathlon after a gap of 30 years.
Toby Dawson, head coach of the Chinese Freestyle Skiing Snow Skills Team, is a Korean-American skier who won the first snow sports medal (bronze) for the United States in the Men's Snow Skiing Skiing Competition at the Turin Winter Olympics. His fruitful work is also helping the Chinese Snow Skills Team become another snow commando team.
Chinese women's ice coach Brian David Idalski is the head coach of the Kunlun Hongxing Vanke Sunshine team in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province.
As an American, Brian led the Chinese ice hockey club team to great success in the Russian Women's Ice Hockey League (WHL) last two seasons, was appointed by the Winter Sports Management Center of the State General Administration of Sport as the head coach of the Chinese women's ice hockey national training team, and finally selected for the Beijing Winter Olympics Chinese delegation list, this time led by him The Chinese women's ice hockey team also had a dazzling performance at the Beijing Winter Olympics.
