After fierce competition, Sichuan's Xia Huangyao won the championship, Gansu's Deng Yawen and Hebei's Sun Sibei won the second and third places respectively. "Today Xia Huangyao played very well, the control of the action is in place, and the whole person has taken out the state." Sichuan coach Hao Ning said excitedly.
For the results of the competition, Zhu Man, the scientific research coach of the freestyle group of the Guangdong Provincial Small Wheels Team, said regretfully: "In the previous competition, Zhou Huimin ranked second and was very hopeful of winning the championship, the first round of action was very smooth, and in the second round, she showed her super ability to do the dragon swing tail on each prop, but she was slightly single in the action collocation, which affected the final result." ”
In the adult competition of the BMX men's freestyle park competition that followed, Sichuan's Haiyang showed the superman action, Gansu's Wei Tianwang completed the backflip dragon tail swing, and Hubei's Li Changliang completed the two circles of the zigzag wall and the front flip hands and other difficult moves, the field can be described as wonderful continuous, the climax is repeated. It is worth mentioning that Before the start of the second round of the competition, Fujian player Gong Hailong ripped off the healing ice pack on his body and threw it away in order to play better, showing great love for the game, and the audience stood up and applauded him.
Due to rain, the BMX Freestyle Park Race in the Adult Division was interrupted twice, and the men's freestyle race ended at 9 p.m. In the end, Sichuan's ocean won the gold medal, his teammates Lin Shuotang and Chen Jianbo won the silver and bronze medals respectively, and the Sichuan team won a grand slam.
"Whether it's men's or women's, we're going to the final race with a full quota of 3 players." Chen Xingdong, deputy director of the Sichuan Provincial Sports Bureau, said, "Our province has a good foundation, a strong reserve force, and a foundation for mud racing in the past. ”
Freestyle BMX first originated in California, USA in the 1970s. At the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games, freestyle BMX made its debut at the Olympic Games, and this year is the first time that a freestyle BMX has entered the National Games.
Freestyle BMX is currently the only scoring event in all cycling events, athletes need to complete their own competition actions at the race time and in the specified field, and the referee scores comprehensively according to the difficulty, fluency, route arrangement, action style and so on. Because athletes can freely arrange the movements and routes of the game, the degree of freedom is quite high, so it is called a freestyle BMX.
"Although freestyle BMX started late in China, the provinces only began to build teams in 2018, but the development is extremely fast, after nearly two or three years of development, China's freestyle BMX level has been greatly improved, the popularity of the public is also growing rapidly." Zhu Man said.
"When I first started practicing BMX, I was scared and initially I could only jump on flat ground. With falling down and getting up again and again in training, persevering again and again, for me, this is not only a sport, but also an experience beyond myself. Wang Shu, a member of the Henan team's freestyle BMX team, said, "I started practicing freestyle BMX at the age of 17, but now some children have been practicing since the age of six or seven, and I believe that China's freestyle BMX development will get better and better." ”
