Xi’an News Network News On September 16, in the equestrian dressage team final (individual qualification) of the 14th National Games, the Guangdong team won the gold medal, and the Xinjiang team and the Shanghai team won the silver and bronze medals. The Shaanxi team won only sixth place due to a malfunction and missed the medal.
Equestrian sports is a sporting event that requires a high degree of tacit cooperation between players and animals in order to achieve good results. It has attracted much attention because of its strong appreciation. As early as 1900, equestrian sports entered the “big family” of the Olympic Games. In 1952, female athletes were allowed to participate in Olympic equestrian competitions, and equestrianism became the only event in the Olympic Games where men and women competed on the same field. In the dressage team competition, each member plays individually, and the sum of the top three scores of the members is the final score of the team. At the same time, the scores of the players in the team competition will determine whether the players can enter the individual qualifiers.
At 8 o’clock on September 16, in the drizzle, the equestrian dressage team final (individual qualifier) officially kicked off at the Qinhan New City Equestrian Competition in Xixian New District. Six teams from Guangdong, Xinjiang, Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and the host Shaanxi competed fiercely. The rider wore a black knight uniform when he appeared on the stage, riding a dancing horse, and completed the race through 26 actions including standing salute, quick trot in the middle, shoulder inward, 8 meter circle, and diagonal stride. The referees score points based on the rider’s posture, demeanor, difficulty completion, and artistic attainments.
Established in 2017, the Shaanxi team is the youngest team in the finals of the dressage team, sending only 3 players to play. Wang Yiyi, a 21-year-old female rider of the Shaanxi team, had high hopes before the game, but she did not perform well due to tension during the game and her results were not satisfactory. Regarding this result, she said after the game: “In today’s competition, because of the tension and the imperfect cooperation with the horse, the result was not ideal, but in the future training, I will work harder and strive to be in the next competition. To achieve better results.”
After more than 4 hours of fierce competition, the Guangdong team won the championship with 205.389 points, the Xinjiang team won the silver medal with 198.479 points, and the Shanghai team won the bronze medal with 190.586 points. After the game, Guangdong team coach Luo Dongbin said: “Today our four players performed very well, and I am very satisfied. The equestrian venue in Shaanxi for the 14th National Games is very well constructed, and it can be said to be the best venue in the country. From the stadium, stables, training grounds, environment, etc., we feel the strong Qin and Han culture everywhere, which is impressive.”
It is reported that the equestrian venue for the 14th National Games is currently the largest and most complete equestrian venue in China and even in Asia. It can host the Olympic Games and various domestic and foreign equestrian events. The architectural style of the equestrian venue is unique in the historical and cultural characteristics of the Qin and Han Dynasties; not only the competition venue, but also the equestrian performance hall, the horse culture museum, and cultural tourism supporting hotels, it can become a cultural tourism and leisure place for citizens after the game.
