Although the Winter Olympics have come to an end, everyone's enthusiasm for ice and snow sports has not diminished in the slightest. Limited by the venue and climate, floor curling came into being. The rules of the sport are the same as curling, except that the venue and equipment are more "civilian" and more suitable for the southern region.
Shanghai is awesome! The company's floor curling team has won awards for consecutive years and has become a corporate brand feature
In the town of Waigang, Infineon Fan Co., Ltd., there is a special floor curling training ground. The curling team composed of employees of the company almost won the first and second places in various floor curling events in the city and district from 2019 to 2021, which can be called "medal harvester".
"Fall between two balls, come on!" "Played beautifully!" Yesterday (February 23) at noon, the floor curling training ground was very lively. Only to see the curling team members either holding their breath and aiming, pushing the pot, or gathering together to discuss countermeasures... Everyone was immersed in it and had a lot of fun. "Under the influence of the Winter Olympics, we have played more energetically these two days." Team member Cui Qiujun said.
Speaking of the connection with floor curling, Zhang Jinge, president of the company, admitted that his hometown is Zhangjiakou, Hebei Province, one of the venues of the Beijing Winter Olympics, and he has loved ice and snow sports since he was a child, and it is difficult to have a chance to have close contact with ice and snow sports after he came to Shanghai. In 2019, the relevant person in charge of Waigang Town came to investigate, and when it came to promoting floor curling sports into enterprises, Zhang Jinge was the first to call "good". "At that time, just in combination with the successful bidding opportunity of the Beijing Winter Olympics, Jiading promoted ice and snow sports, and since then, the town cultural and sports center has distributed facilities to us and hired coaches, and this project quickly landed in our company." Zhang Jinge said, "When I saw that the venue and personnel were all in place, I felt very kind from the north and thanked the government for its support. ”
In June 2019, the company officially established the curling team. For the honors won in recent years, captain Zhang Jianxin smiled and said, "There is no secret, it is practice." "Due to the busy work of the team members, the curling team can only be trained at noon every weekday, which means that everyone has to give up the lunch break. In addition, the team members are from different departments, usually there is not much intersection, some are more superior-subordinate relationships, how to let everyone "break the ice", Zhang Jianxin at first was also repeated thinking, "In order to mobilize everyone's enthusiasm, we set up a reward and punishment mechanism, the party that lost the game had to meet the requirements of the winning party, such as inviting guests to dinner, etc., so that everyone's motivation came." ”
A few months after the establishment of the team, it received the task of competing - to participate in the 2019 Shanghai City Amateur League Jiading District Amateur League Floor Curling Competition. To this end, everyone is working overtime to practice. "Those with poor strength and poor control of the direction repeatedly squatted and pushed the pot, and finally their legs were numb, and their hands were shaking, but everyone did not cry bitterness." Cui Qiujun said.
The effort paid off, and the team members won each other's first championship. "The effort paid off, which gave us a lot of encouragement and the team grew from 4 at the beginning to 10." Zhang Jianxin recalled.
From ordinary colleagues who did not have much communication, to golfers who fought in the field, to friends who did not say anything, the players also gained sincere friendship through this sport. "Now everyone is a 'comrade-in-arms', the cooperation in work is more tacit, and the work efficiency has also improved." Team member Lu Zhihua said.
At the same time, everyone really felt the fun of floor curling. Team member Xu Liqin has now become an "enthusiast" of the sport. "If you don't practice for a day, you feel uncomfortable all over your body." Xu Liqin said with a smile, "Curling is a combination of dynamic and static, focusing on skills, there are no excessive requirements for physical fitness, suitable for all ages, but also exercise the brain's resilience." ”
Next, the company will continue to grow the curling team, Zhang Jinge said, "thanks to the further deepening of the district 'Quanjia Qidong' park sports, we plan to set up three teams, four teams, so that more employees can benefit from sports." ”

Held 18 various offline enterprise employee events, nearly 3,000 people participated, held a series of activities of "I do practical things for the masses, physical fitness test into the enterprise" series of activities, walked into 41 enterprises, benefited more than 4,000 enterprise employees, distributed more than 300 health courses, and benefited nearly 10,000 employee enterprises.
