Like a bolt of lightning across the ice, the advantage of a knife tip, Wu Dajing took the lead in crossing the finish line. "We did it!" He and his teammates embraced excitedly to celebrate the hard-won victory. The five-star red flag flies high, and the whole audience shares the glory moment.
This scene makes people's blood boil. In the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics Short Track Speed Skating Mixed Team Relay Competition, the Chinese team composed of Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei, Fan Kexin, Qu Chunyu and Zhang Yuting won the championship and won the "opening red" for the Chinese sports delegation. The five players also have a common identity - a student of the Beijing Sport University Graduate Champion Class.
On June 18, 2019, General Secretary Xi Jinping replied to all the students of the 2016 graduate champion class of Beijing Sport University, pointing out: "China in the new era needs a mission on its shoulders and a spirit of struggle. I hope that you will continue to take the lead in fighting, work hard, make more contributions to building a sports power, and pass on more positive energy to the society. ”
General Secretary Xi Jinping's earnest entrustment has injected surging strength into the students of the champion class. From the sports arena to the life arena, they forge ahead with a tenacious struggle and the pursuit of excellence, composing a song of youth of strivers.
Tenacious struggle, paving the way to the championship
Beijing Sport University has cultivated a number of outstanding sports talents and has repeatedly achieved good results in the international arena. Among them, the graduate champion class created in 2003 is the most remarkable.
Table tennis "Grand Slam" to advocate Yi Ning, Chinese women's volleyball Olympic champion zhou Suhong, Olympic gymnastics "hardware" winner Zou Kai... In the past 19 years, the Championship Class has recruited more than 400 champion athletes and coaches. Here they absorb knowledge, temper their abilities, inspire each other, and dedicate light and heat to the cause of sports.
Fan Kexin and Wu Dajing were selected for the national team in the same year, and they entered the championship class on their front and back feet. In the 3rd Winter Olympic Games, they worked hand in hand to overcome difficulties, leaving countless sweats and tears on the white ice. Wu Dajing's feet were severely deformed due to years of training in skates; Fan Kexin's waist is full of muscle stickers when playing.
The Beijing Winter Olympics cycle is particularly difficult for them. The increase in age, the recurrence of injuries, and the ups and downs of the state are like mountains in front of them. "Even if you grit your teeth and insist, you must do things well!" Wu Dajing frankly said that in the high-intensity training day after day, they always had a fire burning in their hearts, and they must let the national flag be raised at the door of their homes.
The firm belief in winning glory for the country inspires them to constantly challenge the limits and bravely move forward. In the men's 1000m final of short track speed skating at the Beijing Winter Olympics, Wu Dajing chose to escort his teammates due to the decline in physical fitness in the rematch, and the "you go first" action made people tear up; In the women's 3000m relay final, the last baton Fan Kexin created a miracle, surpassing her opponent to win the bronze medal, after the game she leaned down and kissed deeply on the ice... The sense of responsibility and mission of young people in the new era shines brightly in them.
"We have fulfilled our promise to the motherland with our actions!" When it comes to the future, Wu Dajing and Fan Ke are full of vigor and will continue to fight on the field as long as the country needs it.
Pursue excellence and explore the integration of sports and education
Beijing Sport University has created a postgraduate champion class, hoping to explore a new way of training sports talents through this diversified, personalized and integrated model. Over the years, the students of the championship class have worked hard and handed over fruitful answers.
Race walker Liu Hong came to the championship class for further study after winning gold at the Rio Olympics. When she saw that the mainland race walking project was facing severe challenges in the preparation for the Olympic Games, she resolutely returned to the training ground 6 months after giving birth to her daughter. Regain training, lose weight, improve physical fitness... Just one year after his comeback, the "mom athlete" won the 2019 World Championships in Athletics, Doha.
"During my studies in the champion class, I learned a lot of advanced theoretical knowledge and training methods, which laid the foundation for my comeback." Liu Hong, who competed in the Tokyo Olympic Games and stood on the Olympic field for the fourth time, fought for a precious bronze medal and practiced the belief of "having ideals in her heart and strength under her feet".
When Gong Lijiao, a student of the 2018 champion class and a shot put player, encountered many difficulties and challenges when preparing for the Tokyo Olympic Games, she firmly told herself: "The mission is glorious because of arduousness, and life is wonderful because of struggle." ”
At the Tokyo Olympic Games, when Gong Lijiao finally stood on the championship podium, years of tempering and perseverance turned into the joy of dreams come true. In addition to the results, she wants to use her enthusiasm to bring the shot put project to fire.
With the courage to take responsibility and dare to make breakthroughs, the students of the champion class have more and more understood the connotation of sports in their further studies, examined sports with a broader vision, worked hard and forged ahead, and become a model for contemporary teenagers. "The champion class is a collective that can fight well, have a good style, study hard, and have excellent character and learning." Cao Weidong, secretary of the Party Committee of Beijing Sport University, said that the champion class not only provides a vivid case for the integration of sports and education, but also outlines the group portrait of Chinese sports people struggling in the new era.
Repay the society and show the mission
Not long ago, at the nucleic acid testing site in Chenggaozi Town, Harbin City, Heilongjiang Province, there was a volunteer with the words "elephant" written on it. "Please scan the code and keep a safe distance." From morning to night, he was busy. Later, people learned that this "big white" was Ren Ziwei.
Before the competition, do not forget to make up the homework, the Beijing Winter Olympics won two golds in a row, took off the robe to participate in epidemic prevention - as a student of the 2021 champion class, Ren Ziwei has always charged ahead in different "arenas". "I just did my part." He also took the initiative to donate a batch of epidemic prevention materials to overcome the difficulties with the people of his hometown.
In the face of the epidemic, the champions class students quickly took action. Whether it is participating in the training competition of "epidemic prevention and preparation", or using professional knowledge to popularize home science and fitness, or participating in public welfare activities, they are using practical actions to add confidence to people's lives.
In Caihe Village, Haokou Town, Qianjiang City, Hubei Province, Wrestling World Cup champion Xu Qing led his family to become grassroots volunteers. Handing out leaflets, procuring supplies, screening mobile personnel, counting body temperatures... Every day when I entered the village and entered the household, the work was full, but Xu Qing did not feel hard. "I am a student-athlete who grew up from Beijing Sports University, and the more special the period, the more I have to try my best to do something to repay the society."
Striving to be a dreamer in the new era who strives ceaselessly and is willing to dedicate, constantly transmitting positive energy to the society, has long been transformed into the action consciousness of the champion class students. Gymnastics champion Yang Yilin and taekwondo champion Chen Zhong have repeatedly gone to designated poverty alleviation counties to promote national fitness; Swimming champion Wang Shun and badminton champion Huang Dongping actively participate in youth public welfare education...
Walk into the champion class with honor and walk towards a new world with responsibility. Keeping in mind the mission and living up to Shaohua, the wonderful chapter written by the champion class with youth is still continuing.
