Original title: Struggle, Promotion, and Inheritance: The “Post-Winter Olympics” Thinking of the Winter Olympic Champion
After the Beijing Winter Olympics, champion athletes such as Gao Tingyu, Ren Ziwei, and Zhang Yuting were temporarily away from the tension and fatigue of preparing for and participating in the competition, but they also began to think more.
After the Beijing Winter Olympics, speed skating champion Gao Tingyu participated in some social activities, and he will also return to his hometown to accompany his family in the past few days. “I want to go home to eat fresh food and accompany my grandparents. There are a lot of injuries and illnesses, so I need to rest and recharge for the new Winter Olympics cycle.”
On the 17th, a symposium of representatives from Heilongjiang Province participating in the Beijing Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympics was held in Harbin. At the symposium, Gao Tingyu, Ren Ziwei, Fan Kexin and other athletes issued the initiative of “please rest assured the party, strong country, Longjiang, and revitalization” initiative. “If you can stand on the field of the Milan Winter Olympics, you must still run for the championship!” Gao Tingyu said.
After the Beijing Winter Olympics, many champion athletes have set new preparation goals. “Walking off the podium is starting anew. The first two years of the next cycle are mainly to ensure your physical function, control injuries, bring you wonderful games with hard training, and continue to give everything for your own projects. In Milan A gold medal at the Winter Olympics,” said Ren Ziwei, the short track speed skating champion at the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Ren Ziwei’s teammate and Beijing Winter Olympics short track speed skating champion Zhang Yuting resumed training after returning to Harbin not long ago. Under the influence of Zhang Yuting, her younger sister is also undergoing short track speed skating training, and she is chasing her dream on the ice rink hand in hand with her sister.
In addition to preparing for the war, many Winter Olympic champions have also begun to take on more social responsibilities. “Ice and snow sports are becoming more and more popular across the country. Heilongjiang has unique advantages in ice and snow sports. I will definitely do what I can to promote ice and snow sports.” Gao Tingyu said.
After the Winter Olympics, short track speed skating champion Qu Chunyu received many interviews and filming. “I think this is me using another form to promote ice and snow sports, so that more people can discover and like ice and snow sports. In order to better promote this sport, I also need some theoretical knowledge, so I will continue to learn, and Strive to make a breakthrough in the Milan Winter Olympics.” Qu Chunyu said.
After returning to his hometown of Harbin, Ren Ziwei also volunteered for epidemic prevention. “I realized that it is not easy for the staff. If conditions permit, I want to teach children skating. This is our responsibility. After retirement, I will continue to contribute to the sport.” Ren Ziwei said.
Fan Kexin, who won the first gold medal of the Chinese sports delegation at the Beijing Winter Olympics with his teammates, grew up in Qitaihe City, Heilongjiang Province, the “City of Short Track Speed Skating Champions”. From Yang Yang to Wang Meng, to today’s younger generation, generations of short-path people from this city have continued to struggle to create one glory after another.
“Qitaihe has cultivated so many Winter Olympic champions, which is a good foundation laid by the predecessors and passed down, so I will also pass on this stick.” Every time he returned to his hometown, Fan Kexin would almost communicate with the young athletes. Hope it inspires them to move forward. “Whether I am an athlete or engage in other professions in the future, I will never leave the short track speed skating project.” Fan Kexin said.
