With a whistle, the Chinese Paralympic Ice Hockey Team ended the group stage 6-0. As the only female member of the team, Yu Jing realized her dream and made her debut in the competition.
Recalling all this, Yu Jing bluntly said in disbelief: "I am very proud and confident to be able to get on the field on Women's Day and realize my dream. Regarding the team's excellent performance of three consecutive wins, she said that the team is currently in good shape and united. I hope to continue the good state and keep winning. For the better performance of the team as a whole, I will be prepared for the team both on and off the field and contribute to the team.
As we all know, the ice hockey project is intense and has many confrontations. Paralympic athletes balance on the narrow ice sled itself is very difficult, yu Jing said that the challenge has been decided at the beginning, the choice of ice hockey is to strengthen the belief, the beginning can not do it to find a way to do, only in this way can become stronger. Faced with the difficulties of transitioning from the summer Paralympic program, she firmly told reporters: "As long as you want to start, there is no age or gender restriction, others think you can do it, you feel it is OK, then it must be OK." ”
After only two years of transformational paralympic ice hockey, yu Jing was able to enter the winter paralympic stage, and Yu Jing experienced a lot of tempering. Although she started late, she started by mastering her balance, trained hard, withstood repeated collisions, and repeated the swing over and over again. Looking back, she said: "The biggest change is that the personality is more tenacious, the self-confidence is gradually increasing, from not being able to let go to the long field to actively fight, compete for the ball, and go all out to complete the tasks assigned by the coach." ”
At present, there are relatively few female Paralympic ice hockey players in mainland China, for which she also appealed: "I am on the field, which proves that more female compatriots can also do it, and my performance is also an encouragement and an opportunity for them." Hopefully, more people will join paralympic hockey because of me. Combined with her experience of voluntarily signing up for paralympic ice hockey trials, she said that she would do it when she thought about it! Life needs to have the initiative of "self-recommendation", actively participate in it in order to surpass themselves, and look forward to more "Yu Jing" emerging on the ice rink in the future.
