"Genius is one percent inspiration and 99 percent sweat", this famous saying has now been verified again in the athlete Wu Dajing. A TV program once showed Wu Dajing's feet: because he had been training with skates for many years, his feet were severely deformed, and at the age of 28, he had a pair of "50-year-old feet". With the joint efforts of Wu Dajing and his teammates, they won the gold medal in the men's and women's 2000m mixed relay in short track speed skating at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, which is also the first gold medal for the Chinese delegation in this Winter Olympics.

Wu Dajing is an explosive athlete in short distance competitions, he can have this ability, maybe he has the support of talent, but more ability must come from hard work. It is worth noting that because the blade is front-to-line, the signature action of the short track speed skating line is to desperately stretch the foot, which places high demands on the skill and experience of the athlete.

In a race against the clock, any slight difference can affect the final result. In order to be faster, in order to strive for a bigger breakthrough, Wu Dajing paid too much before the game. Like many gold-medal winning athletes, he inevitably encountered setbacks and even injuries in training, but he never gave up his goal of winning gold and never stopped training daily. All these efforts eventually led to a gratifying victory.

While Wu Dajing surpassed his opponent, he was also trying to surpass himself. He broke the world record and won the men's 500m short track speed skating final at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, winning the gold medal for the Chinese team. After the Chinese short track team won the gold medal this time, Wu Dajing couldn't help but cry with excitement: "This competition is also very relieving." It's been too much to experience in these four years... Today's first day, the dream came true. Teammate Fan Kexin recalled the difficulties along the way, and also sighed with emotion: "When we train on the ice every day, we are in a state of fighting, and our throats are bloody..." How many unknown efforts are behind the success and glory on the field? In order to see the five-star red flag raised, how much unimaginable struggle and hard work is behind it?

As the so-called "one minute on stage, ten years of merit offstage", what tests Wu Dajing and his teammates is not only the on-the-spot performance of the Winter Olympics, but also the constant grinding and challenge, Wu Dajing began to train short track speed skating since he was a child, first entering the provincial team, and then entering the national team, step by step towards higher goals. He once said: "The most difficult thing is that when I first entered the national team, except for coach Li Yan, no one was optimistic about me, they all felt that I was not skating this material, or not an athlete this material, no matter when I did not treat myself as an Olympic champion, I had to give 120% of my efforts to fight, for me, I was not to defend, maybe I was also going to fight for the championship, because there are too many people who can win the championship." "

Wu Dajing said this, although he has a self-effacing attitude, but it also truly reflects the bitterness and difficulty he has experienced along the way. When faced with setbacks, when not favored by the outside world, he did not complain, let alone beat himself up, but always trained steadily and constantly improved his professional level. After ten years of perseverance, he finally surpassed himself and broke through the limit.

The reason why Wu Dajing is shocking and inspiring is that although we do not have the strong physique of athletes, we can learn from their down-to-earth efforts, tenacious struggle and never give up spirit. When we cheer for the Winter Olympic athletes, we may as well reflect on our own lives, and in the face of difficulties and challenges, we should also be fearless of hardship and forge ahead. Strive to create a better future.
