Qiu Zhaoyi: 3, "ice strong and snow strong" is still on the way to struggle
Hello everyone, I am Qiu Zhaoyi, phD supervisor and professor of Beijing Sport University
The Winter Olympics have always been "heavy snow and light ice", "snow, the world" pattern, China welcomes the "ice strong snow strong" opening red, although the Winter Olympics has changed China's "ice strong snow weak" situation, but as a "late-developing country" China's snow project we are still exploring, on the road to hard work.
1. Alpine skiing
A simple inventory of the achievements of the mainland alpine ski team at the Beijing Winter Olympics: male and female super big slalom, male and female downhill, male and female slalom, male and female giant slalom, male and female all-around, mixed team a total of 11 individual events. The Chinese team won a total of 4 places for 2 men and 2 women, setting a record for the largest number of places in the history of the Chinese team's alpine skiing winter Olympics. Men's all-around, men's downhill, men's super slalom, women's all-around, women's downhill, mixed team and other events for the first time (men's all-around Zhang Yangming, Xu Mingfu successfully completed the competition, and finally ranked 16th and 17th; men's sliding Xu Mingfu ranked 36th, achieving the first chinese player to complete the winter Olympics men's downhill competition; men's super slalom Zhang Yangming 33rd successfully completed; women's all-around Kong Fanying ranked 15th; women's sliding Kong Fanying ranked 31st; mixed team by Zhang Yangming, In addition, the Chinese team composed of Xu Mingfu, Kong Fanying and Ni Yueming finished 15th, stopping in the quarterfinals), in addition, mainland athletes set new records for the Chinese team in many events (Xu Mingfu and Zhang Yangming ranked 33rd and 36th respectively in the men's giant slalom, 40th in 2006 Turin Li Guangxu; Women's Super Slalom Ni Yueming and Kong Fanying ranked 40th and 41st respectively, 1992 Albertville Liu Yali ranked 45th; women's s slalom Chinese Player Kong Fanying ranked 15th, In 1980, Guizhen wang of Lake Placid was 18th; Kong Fanying and Ni Yue of the women's giant slalom were ranked 40th and 44th respectively, and Li Xueqin of Albertville was 35th in 1992; Zhang Yangming and Xu Mingfu failed to finish the race in men's slalom, and Wu Deqiang of Sarajevo was 29th in 1984).

Although a historic breakthrough has been achieved in participating in and completing the race, There is still a long way to go for Chinese alpine skiers because there is still a huge gap between them and the top foreign athletes.
Second, cross-country skiing
A brief inventory of the results of our cross-country skiing team at the Beijing Winter Olympics: all men's and women's individual events in a total of 8 events, except for the men's 15km, men's double chase, men's individual sprint results, (the best ranking of the men's 15km this year is the 41st place of the veteran team member Shang Jincai, the 49th place of Turin in 2006; the men's double chase Liu Rongsheng is 38th, the 50th place of Turin in 2006; the men's individual sprint to advance to the 1/4 final, 2010 Vancouver 21st place) is slightly better than in previous sessions, The remaining five events were inferior to the best results in the history of the Winter Olympics; the men's and women's four-man relay and 2-man team sprints were slightly better than the best in the history of the Winter Olympics (this year's results: women's 4x5km relay 10th, 1984 Winter Olympics 12th; men's 4x10km relay 13th, 2006 Turin 15th; in the men's and women's short distance events, the women's team was 11th by the combination of veteran team members Li Xin \ Chi Chunxue, 13th in Turin 2006, The man was won the 13th place by the combination of veteran team members Wang Qiang and Shang Jincai, and 19th in Turin in 2006).
| The results of the Chinese cross-country skiing team at the Winter Olympics | |||
| Men's double chase | 38th | 50th in Turin 2006 | |
| Men's individual short distance | Stop at the quarterfinals | 21st place in Vancouver in 2010 | |
| Men 15 km | 41st | 2006 Turin 49th | |
| Men's 4×10 km relay | 13th place | 2006 Turin 15th | |
| Men's team short distance | 2006 Turin 19th | ||
| Men's 50 km group departure | |||
| Women's Double Chase | |||
| Women's individual short distance | |||
| Women's 10 km | |||
| Women's 4×5 km relay | 10th place | 1984 Sarajevo 12th | |
| Women's team sprint | 11th place | 13th in Turin 2006 | |
| Women's 30 km group departure | 2014 Sochi 22nd place |
It can be seen that the Chinese cross-country skiing in this Winter Olympics is still far from achieving the goal of "climbing the podium", and has not achieved a historic breakthrough in breaking into the top eight, and still relies on the four veteran team members with an average age of nearly 30 years to support the façade of the cross-country skiing project of the Winter Olympic Games.
Third, the Nordic two
A simple inventory of the results of the mainland Nordic biathlon team at the Beijing Winter Olympics: men's individual standard platform + 10 km cross-country skiing, men's individual big jump + 10 km cross-country skiing, men's team big jump + 4×5 km relay a total of 3 individual events. In the men's individual standard platform + 10 km cross-country skiing competition, Zhao Jiawen finally ranked 43rd, which is the first time that a Chinese athlete has stepped on the stage of the Nordic biathlon competition at the Winter Olympics. Zhao Jiawen ranked 47th in the men's individual big jump + 10 km cross-country skiing competition.

| Men's individual big jump + 10 km cross-country skiing | 47th | ||
| Men's team big jump + 4*5 km cross-country skiing | Not eligible | Never competed |
The Chinese team did not qualify for the men's team big jump +4×5 km relay. Although Zhao Jiawen's performance is still in the back position, the Nordic biathlon is a project that started late in China's development, and Zhao Jiawen is the first Chinese athlete to stand on the Olympic stage of this project.
4. Ski jumping
A simple inventory of the achievements of the mainland ski jumping team in the Beijing Winter Olympics: men's and women's individual standard platform, men's individual big jump, men's team big jump, mixed team a total of 5 individual events, it can be said that the Beijing Winter Olympic Ski Jumping Competition is a "welcome party" for the Chinese team. The Chinese team qualified (Women's Individual Standard Stage Peng Qingyue and Dong Bing ranked 38th and 31st respectively in the final, 2018 Pyeongchang Chang Xinyue 20th; Men's Individual Standard Stage Song Qiwu 53rd, Turin Li Yang 44th in 2006; Men's Individual Jumping Stage Song Qiwu 55th, Turing Tian Zhandong 53rd in 2006; Men's Team Big Jump Zhou Xiaoyang/Zhen Weijie/Lu Yixin/Song Qiwu ranked 11th and did not make it to the final, 2006 Turin Li Yang/Tian Zhandong/Yang Guang/ Wang Jianxun ranked 16th; mixed teams competed for the first time, with Dong Bing/Song Qiwu/Peng Qingyue/Zhao Jiawen ranking 10th).

In the ski jumping competition of this Winter Olympics, although mainland athletes failed to get good rankings, being able to participate in this "brave game" is itself a kind of growth and progress.

Sixth, snowmobiles

Taking stock of the ice and snow powers led by Nordic Norway, the ice and snow power dominates the traditional skiing sports of cross-country skiing, which is mainly based on cross-country skiing, which tempers the will of the will. Dominated by the European Alpine region: Germany, Switzerland, Austria and other countries, it dominates modern skiing sports based on "steep cliffs", "fast and furious" snowmobiles, sledding, and alpine skiing. In evaluating these snow sports of this Winter Olympic Games, the words we use the most are not "qualification", "participation", "out", "finish", or "breakthrough" and "creating history". However, as far as the wishes of generations of ice and snowmen and Chinese people are concerned, they should sound the loudest clarion call of the new era for the motherland in the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation.
Hats off to our colleagues who have been fighting on the front line of ice and snow all year round!
"Ice strong and snow strong" is still on the way to work hard!
