At the just-concluded Winter Olympics in Beijing, the Chinese delegation created a new history, winning 9 gold, 4 silver and 2 bronze medals for a total of 15 medals. Among them, Gu Ailing, who is only 18 years old, participated in the Winter Olympics for the first time and won 2 gold, 1 silver and 3 medals. And her "hair small", a former movie child star, also 18-year-old Su Yiming also won 1 gold and 1 silver. The two young athletes have become the "golden boys" of China's ski industry and have gained a large number of fans in China and even around the world.
Among this large number of fans is the Water Sports Management Center of the State General Administration of Sports (National Surf team). Of course, the national surf team is still different from the average fan. Because, just recently, "China Sports" broke the news: the national surfing team issued an invitation to this "golden boy and jade girl" who skied in China, inviting the two of them to Experience and Train Surfing In Hainan.
Because, Su Yiming said on social media earlier: "When I was not training, I went to Hainan to surf. He introduced in the video that snowboarding first evolved from surfing, and the two sports are very similar." Moreover, he also posted his own surfing at sea, and we can see from his movements that he has become very skilled. Therefore, the national surfing team said that it is full of expectations for Su Yiming to become an excellent surfing master and participate in the Olympic surfing competition. This time, the national surf team asked Su Yiming and Gu Ailing to participate in training at the same time, and I am afraid that Gu Ailing is also full of expectations.
Perhaps some netizens will ask, is the strength of the national surf team very poor? Why are you planning to transform skiers for the Summer Olympics? Yes, the strength of the national surf team is indeed a little worse than that of European and American countries. Because surfing will not officially become a sport of the Summer Olympics until 2020. Previously, the sport was not as popular in China as in Europe and the United States, so at present our national surf team does need to replenish talented athletes.
Moreover, as Su Yiming said, snowboarding was first evolved from surfing, and skiing has a lot in common with surfing. It's just that one is on the water and the other is on the snow. As long as they adapt to the waves, the most talented skier can quickly become a master of surfing. In addition, Su Yiming and Gu Ailing are currently only 18 years old, and they are fully qualified to complete the transformation. If all goes well and the pair intends to transform, then we have every hope of seeing the "golden boy" of the ski world at the next Summer Olympic Games.
As far as the talents of Su Yiming and Gu Ailing are concerned, once transformed, there is every hope of winning a medal or even a gold medal at the Summer Olympics. If, if that were the case, the two of them would become national idols.
