In the just-concluded 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, mainland athletes achieved proud results with a tenacious spirit of hard work. This issue of "Hello, Saturday" invited Wang Meng and Zhang Yuting to take everyone to understand short track speed skating, and also let everyone see them outside the track.
Wang Meng frequently came out in the short track speed skating commentary of this Winter Olympics, and won countless netizens' praise with the sentence "My eyes are rulers". As an athlete, she won medals in major competitions and is still a legend of short track speed skating in China. Youngster Zhang Yuting played in the Winter Olympics for the first time, and she worked perfectly with her teammates to win the first gold for China in the short track speed skating mixed 2000m relay.
In the program, in order to let the guests better understand the winter sports of short track speed skating, Wang Meng transformed into a coach on the spot, and Zhang Yuting personally demonstrated the difficult actions. This one action alone has left the guests busy, and you can imagine how hard the athletes trained in private.
As the saying goes, "one minute on stage, ten years off stage", the same is true for athletes. In the eyes of many people, athletes are an enviable profession, with a bright appearance, winning glory for the country, and standing on the podium at the moment of brilliance, but the ten years of dedication behind these athletes are often ignored. In addition to talent, it is more about hard training day and night. Every historical breakthrough and record breaking carries behind those extreme training beyond the imagination of ordinary people. The pain caused by injuries, the pressure on themselves and the outside world, and the responsibilities they carry on their shoulders are also what they have to experience and bear.
"Hello, Saturday" is full of positive energy, that is, the popularization of sports projects and knowledge, but also let netizens see the other side of athletes. Please keep locking in every Saturday night at 8:10 pm Hunan Satellite TV "Hello, Saturday"!
