At the Beijing Winter Olympics, Su Yiming, a post-00 player of the Chinese team, can be said to be popular in China. But then again, this post-00s Olympic champion who has three views is really very powerful. So, why can the Olympic champion, who has only turned 18, achieve such a high level at such a young age? Recently, Su Yiming's answer in an interview with the media told us how long it takes to go from being an amateur to standing on the highest podium in the Olympic Games.
At the Beijing Winter Olympics, Su Yiming, like his name, can be described as a blockbuster. In the first event he participated, his performance was very good, and if it were not for the referee's mistake, he would have been earlier in the time to become the Olympic champion. Although he only won the silver medal in the end, the spectators who watched his game knew in their hearts that it was only a matter of time before he won the gold medal. Sure enough, in the second event a few days later, Su Yiming won the gold medal with an absolute advantage. Su Yiming's gold medal, which is also China's first gold medal in the winter Olympic snowboard event, is a very big breakthrough. So, how did Su Yiming embark on this road of Olympic champion?
Recently, CCTV interviewed the post-00s Winter Olympic champion. In the interview, Su Yiming introduced the important reasons why he went to this professional path. Su Yiming's family conditions are very good, and his parents also pay attention to his all-round cultivation. When Su Yiming was growing up, he was very interested in the sport of snowboarding and showed a certain talent in this sport. Su Yiming, who was only 11 years old at the time, was already famous in the skiing industry. However, at this time, he did not think that he would take the career road in the future. At the time, he was purely interested in the sport. He said: "If I go professional, I will feel very tired of practicing every day, and I never want to hear the word skiing again." If I'm a hobby and I want to play every day, I'm happy. ”
It is in this state of mind that Su Yiming just regards this sport as a hobby. However, his mentality changed during the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. At that time, Beijing had successfully bid to host the 2022 Winter Olympics. When watching the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics at home, Su Yiming suddenly had such a thought: "Before I may be a ski enthusiast, I was still watching the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics at home, I thought the Winter Olympics was the biggest competition in the world, at that time I thought, if one day I can stand on the podium of the Winter Olympics, or come to participate in the Winter Olympics to get the best results, I think this feeling should be unique, should be a more special moment in life, so at that time I want to try." It is worth mentioning that at the time of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, Su Yiming was only 14 years old.
So, how did Su Yiming, who had this idea, view his own strength at that time? Su Yiming said: "It can be said that it is whimsical, the strength is completely impossible, I know how big the gap between the world's highest level players and me is." At that point I probably didn't have some amateurs skating well, so it was a completely impossible thing to do. However, although Su Yiming thought that he wanted to stand on the Olympic podium at that time, he had a momentum in his bones and wanted to try: "But I am also more confident that I can challenge." At least I can try, I can give my all to try. ”
It was under such a thought that Su Yiming began his true professional path. Before that, Su Yiming's hobbies were very extensive, but after having this goal, Su Yiming completely changed his life, and he had to go all out to fight for this goal. So, this has the secret of his success in two words: focus. He said in an interview: "I was a child with love, I have a lot of energy on different things, but since I decided to become a professional skater, everything has been gone. I'm 100% focused on snowboarding. ”
It is under such 100% concentration that Su Yiming's progress is very fast. In August 2018, he officially became a member of the national team, focusing on big jumping platforms and slope obstacle skills. The final result, everyone also saw. At the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, Su Yiming achieved her goal, stood on the highest podium of the Winter Olympics, and became an Olympic champion. From an amateur athlete to an Olympic champion, Su Yiming only took more than three years, which is indeed very powerful.
