At noon on March 12, Zhang Wenjing, a 19-year-old Chinese athlete, sat on a seated ski and held a ski aid in her hand and came to the starting area of the "Glacier Circuit" at an altitude of 1,680 meters. Ranking 3rd in the first round of the Beijing Winter Paralympic Alpine Skiing Women's Slalom Sitting Group, her heart beat faster at the thought of her goal of a higher podium.
Before leaving, the Chinese team's foreign coach Dalio came behind Zhang Wenjing, patted the little girl's shoulder, and whispered a few words. As the starting sound sounded, Zhang Wenjing rushed out like an off-string arrow, and the first timing point created a personal best, and then it became faster and faster, and there was no mistake in the whole process. 49.07 seconds! Zhang Wenjing ranked first in the group in the second round, and combined with the performance in the first round, the little girl finally ranked second in the overall score and won a silver medal.
"I'm going to give 'Jin Rongrong' to the coach!" After the game, in the mixed interview area, Zhang Wenjing just finished saying this sentence, and the Head Coach of the Chinese team, the Italian Dalio, appeared in the interview channel. Zhang Wenjing and the coach hugged cordially, her eyes were red, and then she gave the "Jin Rongrong" in her arms to Dalio. The reporter found that the Italian also had a "golden Rongrong" in his hand, which turned out to be given to him by Liu Sitong, who won the bronze medal.
Many reporters wondered what "acceleration secret" Dalio taught Zhang Wenjing in the peak departure area?
"The coach told me that after I set off, I must take a good line, slide hard, and believe in myself. Only when the departure is done well, can the back be faster and faster. Zhang Wenjing said that in the past four years, the Italian coach has brought systematic training methods to China, and he attaches great importance to physical training and customizes the training plan for players "one-on-one". At the same time, he also pays attention to the psychological construction of athletes and can quickly mingle with everyone.
The alpine skiing women's slalom sitting group competition is the last competition of Zhang Wenjing's Winter Paralympic Games. In this Winter Paralympic Games, 19-year-old Zhang Wenjing signed up for all 5 events in the alpine skiing women's sitting group, except for the downhill and all-around failure to finish due to mistakes, the remaining 3 events have won medals, a total of 1 silver and 2 bronze. "I'm still very happy with my performance." Zhang Wenjing said, "As a young player, I have a new experience of participating in the competition. ”
