Zhou Qi's fascination with skipping rope was influenced by his sister, and from the third grade of primary school, he officially became a member of the school's skipping team and began long-term and regular systematic training. In order to maintain the rope feeling, he trains almost every afternoon, and in addition to studying, he also participates in various competitions.

At that time, I was also ranked around four or five in the team.
In order to improve himself, Zhou Qi insisted on practicing with steel wire rope for a long time, although it was stronger and more wear-resistant than ordinary rope, but the price of "mistakes" was very high, and if he was not careful, he would be bloodied, but he never wanted to give up.
The accumulated training has made Zhou Qi lay a profound basic skill. In the 2018-2019 National Rope Skipping League Anhui Bozhou Station, Zhou Qi jumped 1044 times in 3 minutes and won the 3-minute single jump event. In the following years, Zhou Qi won various awards from the municipal level to the provincial level to the national competition.

Subsequently, after online communication with relevant departments, Zhou Qi quickly completed the second challenge.

Zhou Qi, a junior high school student at Lubu Middle School in Yuyao City, Zhejiang Province: These two things are actually separated by themselves, if it is the time to study, I may not care about other things, I may focus on studying, and if I am jumping rope, I will not care about other things.
Focusing on everything also allows Zhou Qi to constantly break through himself. For the future, Zhou Qi said that he plans to spend more time familiarizing himself with the first year of high school, and at the same time will not give up skipping training, and he will also sprint to higher goals.

Zhou Qi's personal best in the single shake event was 396 times in 1 minute, 22 more than his own world record. Because of the preparation for the middle school entrance examination in the first half of this year, the training time has been reduced, and Zhou Qi has not yet brought out his best condition when he broke the record. For such a rising star of the future, the journey to surpass oneself and conquer the world may have just begun.
The coach commented that Zhou Qi was "more diligent than talent", did not say anything, and practiced the hardest. Grades are a momentary gain, and dedication is a lifelong lesson. I look forward to Zhou Qi continuing to surprise the world, and hope that more people, especially young people, can meet a newer, better and stronger self from their sincere love and hard work.
