In close cooperation with the guide, the two athletes successfully completed the competition, Wang Yue won the fourth place, yang Qianru won the fifth place.
"Today's performance was expected to be better before the game, and I played my best." In the post-match interview, Yang Qianru was very satisfied with the result of the game.
Born in 2001, Yang Qianru is an athlete from Beijing. When she first joined the Beijing Paralympic cross-country skiing team, she weighed only 90 pounds at a height of 1.7 meters, and it was very difficult to complete training. In order to become stronger, she eats 5 eggs every night before going to bed, and in order to catch up with her teammates, she practices one class in the morning and one in each evening. Eventually, she grew physically stronger and smaller, and won two silver medals in the Asian Cup.
Ms. Yang said she wanted to thank all those who supported her, especially the facilitators and coaches. "Without any of them, they wouldn't be where I am today." Yang Qianru said that during the game, the guide Yu Hongshun has been cheering for her, giving her the courage to overcome difficulties.
"I never chose to give up, I will work harder and be more determined than ever." At this Winter Paralympic Games, Yang Qianru will also participate in the Paralympic Biathlon middle and long distance events.
Wang Yue, 22, from Qinhuangdao, Hebei Province, was just 17 years old when he was exposed to ice and snow sports. As a disabled athlete, on the road of training, Wang Yue encountered difficulties that ordinary people can hardly imagine. But no matter how difficult it was, she never wanted to give up.
"I can't see the world clearly, but I want the world to see me." Wang Yue said.
