Xinhua News Agency, Norway, Lillehammer, February 5th: winter Olympic dream on ice and snow-training Chinese athletes outside Europe to welcome the Spring

Xinhua News Agency reporter Liang Youzhang Xiuzhi Liu Qu Zhang Shuhui

The Land of the motherland, Wanjia reunion and celebration of the festival. In Europe thousands of miles away, many places are be covered with snow and the snow peaks are stretching, which is a good time for ice and snow sports. With the dream of Winter Olympics, some Chinese athletes stick to this hot land where ice and snow sports are booming.

Cross-border leap

On the morning of February 4, Lunar New Year’s Eve. Although the sky is clear, the temperature at Starr ski jumping training ground in central Norway is only minus 17 degrees Celsius.

“Coach, did my two boards share too much before?” “Well, a little. Jump Again!”

Chinese ski jumping national training team cross-border cross-project Group female team members Zhai Yujia heard the instructions and immediately glided down the aid slide, accelerated, and then accelerated…… Jump! The vigorous body rose from the sky. Ahead, the snow is vast and boundless.

In order to prepare for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and excavate and cultivate ski jumping talents, the Winter Sports Management Center of the State General Administration of Sports has enriched the reserve talent team by means of cross-border and cross-item selection. This team, which was sent to Norway for training, adhered to international standards and high-point positioning at the beginning of its establishment, and aimed at the 2022 ski jumping podium.

Cross-border cross-term means that athletes are transferred from other sports. These players who came to Norway for training in last August have been able to leap on the snow practice stage since the beginning of wrestling on the snow slope.

Norwegian coach Eric renmeilmer said that the current training is progressing smoothly, and these Chinese athletes have great potential. I hope they can go as far as possible, and the Olympics is their goal.

Chinese coach Li Yang also praised these young players aged between 16 and 19. “Everyone has made progress. They have a particularly good sense of snow now. They can make movements as soon as they get on the snow, and their basic skills are relatively solid.”

China’s ice and snow sports have poor foundation and weak foundation. To achieve the goal of “participating in the competition and winning the competition” in Beijing Winter Olympics, it is necessary to fully mobilize all forces and resources, it also needs “big waves and sand washing”. This is an almost cruel elimination process. There were 22 players who came to Norway last year, and now there are only 4 men, 5 women and 9 players in total.

Zhai Yujia, who has been practicing trampoline since childhood, said, “Our goal is the 2022 Winter Olympics. Now the latest (goal) is to train well every day.”

Teenager’s dream

The ground is covered with snow, the sky is cold and rainy, and the climate of Mount horiana in BiH is awesome.

In the cold rain, Jiang Yuliang and Wang Kexin, together with their teammates, were panting and sweat interwoven with rain, flowing down their cheeks. The two have just finished the free skating of 4 kilometers and 2 kilometers respectively.

Jiang Yuliang and Wang Kexin are from the cross-country skiing team in Tianjin, China. 50 days ago, the Tianjin cross-country team came to BiH jarrina mountain for training. Yahorina Mountain is one of the venues for the 14th Winter Olympics in 1984 and is now a famous ski resort in Europe.

The game on the day before New Year’s Eve was played between the ski team and five local ski clubs in Sarajevo. Jiang Yuliang and Wang Kexin won the third place in the male and female groups respectively. Although they didn’t win the championship, they still laughed brightly.

After the order was issued, Jiang Yuliang started half a minute later than others. His skiing crutch could not be pulled out in the snow for a while. Otherwise, his grades would be better.

Tanya kosarak, a foreign coach of the ski team who participated in the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, said that these children in China trained very hard and some players were very talented. I am very satisfied with the performance of the Chinese players today. If it is not the weather of rain and snow, the performance of the players will be better.

Chinese coach Ji Liang also expressed satisfaction with the performance of his team members. He told reporters that competitions are also a kind of training. During the training, there are such competitions from time to time.

Dujiliang said that the cross-country skiing team consists of 14 members, the oldest is 17 years old and the youngest is only 12 years old. Mainly selected from Heilongjiang, Jilin and other places, most of the team members are only three or four months old. The goal of the cross-country team is the 15th National Winter Games in 2024. However, the Olympic Games is also a goal held by this team. Everyone secretly expects that at least one of the 14 children will appear in the Olympic Games in the future.

Usually, the team members train 4-5 times a week, each time they train to slide 25-30 kilometers, the snow is unimpeded.

The children usually live in a three-story villa. 14 children, plus team leader, coach, assistant coach and translator, live in different rooms. The room was not spacious, but the whole team was like a family, and there was often laughter echoing upstairs and downstairs.

Assistant coach Peng Yonghong has made a big pot of ginger decoction waiting for the children.

New Year’s Eve is around the corner. The children, with sincere smiles, face the direction of the motherland and pay a Happy New Year’s greetings: “Mom and Dad, compatriots of the motherland, happy new year!”

New Year’s blessing

On the evening of New Year’s Eve, at the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland, the president of the International Olympic Committee Bach celebrated the Chinese new year with more than 100 overseas Chinese from Switzerland, and everyone cheered “Happy New Year” in Chinese “!

Bach said in an interview that although the Spring Festival is approaching, he knows that there are still many Chinese athletes who insist on training to prepare for the Winter Olympics. While wishing these Chinese athletes a happy Spring Festival, he also encouraged them to train hard and hoped that they would achieve excellent results on behalf of their motherland at home in the future.

Build 25 kilometers south of Starr ski jumping training ground in Norway, which is Lillehammer who held the 1994 Winter Olympics and the 2016 Youth Winter Olympics. On New Year’s Eve, the local government and enterprises hosted the Chinese traditional Spring Festival celebration, and the Chinese ski jumping team and the national cross-country skiing team who were training here also participated in the activity.

“In the next few years, maybe I can see some of your athletes who can beat some of our Norwegian players in some competitions.” The deputy mayor of Lillehammer, Ingen troshi Holmen, said in a New Year message that night.

Xinhua News Agency, Rio de Janeiro, April 25 (reporter Zhao Wei Chen Weihua) the organizing committee of the 1999 Brazil America Cup announced on the 25th that during this year’s America Cup, face recognition systems will be used at the entrances of all stadiums to ensure security.

Another champion coach wants to bring Chinese ice and snow into “high hand Ring”

Another champion foreign coach will bring China’s ice and snow into the “high hand ring”

on June 15, the official of China Association of cold water jug revealed that it will hire the famous Swedish coach of cold water jug, Paya lindham, as the head coach of China’s cold water jug team. Paya will enter the team to inspect the players in August and start the training and competition for the new season. This is also in the past week, after China’s speed skating and short-track national team announced the full employment of foreign coach team, foreign coaches joined. Looking at China’s ice and snow national team, the joining of more and more champion coaches will also become the boosting force for China’s ice and snow sports to take off.

Famous handsome gathered

Coach China Ice and Snow national team

Under the guidance of the concept of “Please come in and go out” in China’s winter project, figure skating, speed skating, ice hockey, cold water jug, cross-country skiing, winter biathlon, the national teams of ski jumping, freestyle skiing, snowboard skiing and northern Europe all have foreign coaches to help players improve their performance.

At the beginning of China’s team building cold water jug, China had a good relationship with famous international coaches, and there were world famous coaches in previous national teams. Lindhoom, 49, is also famous in international cold water jug. It is also one of the criteria for Chinese ice and snow national team to invite coaches.

Since 2010, Paya has served as the chief coach and sports director of Sweden’s cold water jug team. In recent years, the Swedish team has won 31 medals in various world competitions, including women’s gold medal and men’s silver medal in the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, as well as women’s silver medal and men’s gold medal in this year’s world championships.

Previously in Hailar, China, China’s speed skating and short track national team gathered training in Inner Mongolia Ice Sports Center, and the newly formed mixed relay group Canadian coach Derek coached Jing and Fan Kexin relay group of Wu University; the Dutch coach of the speed skating group was once the coach of Worcester, the world champion, and Jin Shantai, the head coach of the short track speed skating group, was also the head coach of the South Korean national team during the 2014-2018 Olympic cycle.

Group joining

There are many huge teams behind famous professors

for foreign coaches who sign contracts with China’s ice and snow, it is worth noting that they are not coming alone, there are often huge teams behind, which bring overall experience and overall improvement.

For example, in last August, China Figure Skating Association officially signed a contract with coach Brian other in Canada. In addition to other, who won two silver medals in the Winter Olympics, Tracy Wilson in the team is good at guiding taxi skills and program content. David Wilson has profound skills in choreography, there is a unique method for the development of personal expressiveness; Lee bakwell is good at teaching jumping techniques and other difficult movements.

Similarly, in the short track speed skating team, Jin Shan, the former coach of the Korean national team, came to assist Wang Meng. Lee Chang-Hun and song were at root, including Bian Yuyu and Quanmin Zan, they are all coaches of the South Korean national team from 2014 to 2018, including equipment Coaches. They are all coaches of the South Korean national team.

In terms of physical fitness, equipment, even data analysis, rehabilitation and medical treatment that Chinese audiences did not pay attention to before, China Ice and snow are also introducing the power of the world’s top teams.

For example, the newly established speed skating and short-track national team has set up a high-performance sports team in the team structure. Director kupps has four directors who are responsible for physical fitness, equipment, data analysis and rehabilitation. The team members are from Malaysia, Netherlands, Canada, USA and Serbia.

“From the management level, at present, our team, coaches and staff are the top and best people in the world. We need to unite everyone and work together for a dream. Although we still need to break in, it is very good from the current process. Many foreign teachers have adapted to working in China and adapted to our ideas.” Chinese leader Sun Linlin introduced.

Enter the “high hand ring”

the strength and plasticity are praised

in terms of ice and snow sports, China has a lot of gaps. It is a shortcut for foreign masters to help lead in the door. Peya, who is coming to China to lead China’s cold water jug team in August, is also expected to do so.

According to the confirmation of China’s cold water jug team, Paya will inspect the members of China’s cold water jug team after entering the team. In addition to his past achievements, what the national team valued was his academic ability in charge of the Swedish Institute of International Cold water jug. Through foreign teachers leading the team, China’s slightly weak ice and snow projects can be rapidly popularized and entered the international competition circle.

After becoming the head coach of China cold water jug team, Paya said: “China cold water jug team is a young and energetic team with good strength and plasticity, I have paid attention to their performance in many international competitions and am not unfamiliar with these players.” Paya has rich experience in training young players in Sweden. All this made the Chinese cold water jug team have considerable expectations for him.

Hiring foreign teachers has made many Chinese winter projects stand on the “high starting point”. In the last Winter Olympics, under the leadership of Canadian foreign teacher Geoffrey, China’s steel snowmobile team was qualified for the first time in the Winter Olympics. In addition to leading the team members to break through in this new field, foreign teacher Jeffrey also introduced the connotation of this sport to the Chinese team members. He believes that to truly improve the competitiveness of Chinese players in this project, there are still a lot of basic work to be made up. “We are still improving our work team, team doctors, physical fitness teachers, etc., and the training system must be established.”

Similar to steel snowmobiles, cross-country skiing is not an advantageous project of the Chinese team. The foreign teacher of this project pulled the team members to Finland and trained with local athletes. “Cross-country skiing is an endurance sport, which requires long-term training to improve the physical fitness of the team members, which requires very hard work.” Viltanin said.

While bringing advanced concepts and training methods, foreign teachers also provide a broader platform for team members to have a deeper understanding and cognition of the project, and there are more opportunities to “go out” and learn and communicate with the strong hands of all countries in the world.

“The Circle of snowboard skiing is very small. At ordinary times, foreign teachers take us to train abroad, and they are all together with players from all over the world,” liu Jiayu, who won the first silver medal for the Chinese team in the U-shaped snowboard Winter Olympics for the Chinese team, said that integrating into the “circle” of the Masters made her level and ability improve rapidly.

From “thin is beautiful” to running and lifting iron-looking at Chinese new aesthetics in female fitness boom

Xinhua News Agency, Lanzhou, March 8th: from “thin is beautiful” to running and lifting iron — seeing China’s new aesthetic in the female fitness boom

Xinhua news agency reporters Zhang Rui and Wen Jing

under the spotlight, zhao Xiaoyu was wearing a bikini with bright oil paint on his body. Together with other contestants, Zhao Xiaoyu showed the judges and audience his well-built figure with clear lines and tight muscles. The confident and generous smiles of female players, coupled with the form of full of strength, won a sound of praise from the audience.

This is the scene where 26-year-old Zhao Xiaoyu participated in the women’s bodybuilding competition for the first time in 2017. She graduated from fine arts and was a senior bodybuilding enthusiast. She was still very excited when she recalled the picture of her first participation in bikini bodybuilding competition, “That was my first competition and I won the third place. In the past, people may feel that ‘muscle women’ is not good-looking or even a little weird. However, with the development of fitness exercise, people now prefer a healthy posture, because it symbolizes self-discipline and persistence “.

In the National Fitness Program (2016-2020) issued by the State Council in 2016, it is proposed that by 2020, the number of people who take part in physical exercises once a week or more will reach 0.7 billion, the number of people who often take part in physical exercise reached 0.435 billion, and the total scale of sports consumption reached 1.5 trillion yuan.

Under the call of “national fitness”, fitness is no longer a fashionable thing, but a good living habit that is conducive to physical and mental health and can effectively relieve pressure.

Health is greater than bone feeling “muscle” is no longer male “privilege”

“fitness makes me meet a better self.” Zhao Xiaoyu said frankly. She used to like eating snacks, bars and staying up late. After falling into the “fitness pit”, in order to keep fit, she now eats fast food only a few times a year. “Every time I eat hamburgers, it is like the new year. When I feel depressed because I can’t eat and drink happily, I will look in the mirror. Seeing the tight skin and healthy posture in the mirror because of fitness, I think this happiness cannot be replaced by delicious food.” Zhao Xiaoyu said with a smile.

When talking about the changes of women’s fitness in recent years, Zhao Xiaoyu was deeply touched: “In the past, many girls were alert to muscles and were afraid that they would develop large muscle blocks, which were not good-looking. In recent years, the popularity of fitness knowledge has made everyone realize that squat will not make the legs thicker, and lifting iron will not make the arms stronger. Women can use fitness equipment correctly, which can make their body lines more beautiful and more sporty.” She just started to exercise two years ago and found that she was the only girl in the equipment area of the whole gym. Now, more women come to the equipment area to practice their hips and firm abs.

“I think the moment a girl raises a dumbbell in the gym is the beginning of the aesthetic change of the public.” Zhao Xiaoyu said.

Wang Nan, a 27-year-old fitness enthusiast, told reporters that the reason why he chose fitness was the “nightmare” physical fitness test during college. “When I was in college, because I was thin and weak body, my lung capacity and long-distance running were not up to standard in the physical test every year.” Now, she has found that her heart and lung function and physical strength have improved significantly after two years of fitness. “Now you can run six kilometers in one breath.” Wang Nan smiled and talked about his changes.

Wang Nan also likes to watch the model contest at ordinary times. She obviously feels that the change of model figure in recent years is a powerful explanation of the aesthetic change of the public. Wang Nan said: “The previous models pursued bone sensation. The models on the catwalk were thinner than one, and some even reached the point of wrapping bones. Nowadays, many models will show their fitness photos on social platforms. The models standing on the runway also show the beauty of female muscles after fitness to the public.”

“Now, health is much more important than bone feeling.” Wang Nan said.

A strong heart needs a strong body more

with the change of social concept, many “exclusive” Men’s Fitness programs have now seen more and more women.

23-year-old Liu Kehong is a fight coach in the big tree fitness studio in Lanzhou city. She has witnessed the change of this fitness program for four years.

“When I was at work, few girls came to learn fighting, and the female fighting coach in Lanzhou could count it with one hand. Now almost every gym has fight classes, and there are more and more female students.” Liu Kehong said.

As a female fight coach, Liu Kehong also encountered many misunderstandings at the beginning of his career. Many people think that fighting is a boy’s sport, so girls should dance and practice yoga. However, when the gym students saw Liu Kehong’s handsome and vigorous posture, both men and women were quickly “impressed” by her. “I proved with my strength that fighting is not an exclusive sport for men, and girls can also be very handsome when fighting.” Liu Kehong said.

Liu Kehong said that she hoped that more women would participate in fight training in the future. Although fighting training is very hard, it can exercise perseverance and physique. Girls can not only lose weight and shape, but also protect themselves when encountering unexpected situations. “Girls should have both a strong heart and a strong body.” Liu Kehong said.

Women are gradually becoming the “new force” in China’s fitness market

The reporter found through visiting many gyms that many gyms now have fitness equipment suitable for women, there are also fitness programs and courses specially designed for women, and personalized fitness services for women emerge one after another. The root of all these changes lies in the increasingly large female fitness consumer market, and female groups are becoming the new focus of China’s fitness industry.

The 2018 China Fitness industry data report released by refined training and three-body Yundong on GymSquare shows that from the perspective of the membership ratio of fitness clubs and studios, women have become the main force of fitness groups, more women explore new ways to pursue beauty from fitness. Nowadays, more and more women are willing to enter the gym and change the public’s aesthetic view imperceptibly with self-discipline, confidence and persistence.

In the interview, Zhao Xiaoyu and Liu Kehong all said that scientific understanding and professional fitness approach will make women meet healthier, more beautiful and stronger themselves.

The “women” who wear sports vests on the treadmill and exercise hard in the equipment area are gradually becoming the best spokesman for the self-confidence and beauty cognition of women in today’s Chinese society.

Spider Man in Miao Township, Guizhou”

Xinhua News Agency, GUIYANG, May 6th: “Spiderman” in Miao Township, Guizhou

Xinhua News Agency reporter Jiang Cheng, Wang Jun

The 80-meter-high cliff, without any climbing equipment, luo Dengping, a 38-year-old Spiderman, can climb back and forth in 20 minutes. Ziyun Miao and Buyei Autonomous County, located in beauty spot of Getu River, Anshun city, Guizhou province, Luo Dengping, a Miao woman, and her five senior brothers made rock climing with hands a career.

The Miao nationality’s tradition of climbing without wearing ropes can be traced back to several centuries ago, initially to place the coffin of the deceased relatives. Ancient Miao people had the custom of cave burial. After the death of their relatives, they needed “Spiderman” to carry their coffins to the cave for installation.

At the same time, there are a large number of swallows breeding here in the area of Gelao River, Ziyun county, Guizhou. Swallow manure in bird’s nest on the cliff is a good fertilizer and can also be used as medicinal materials, spiderman collects swallow droppings or herbs in steep cliffs, just like walking on the ground. Now, the local tourist attractions have taken it as a performance project to attract tourists.

In the morning, the air is fresh within beauty spot of Getu River. Six Spiderman, including Luo Dengping, started from home and came to the beauty spot of Getu River Swallow Cave scenic spot in a short time. After simple preparations, they will present a thrilling performance to the tourists waiting for the scenic spot of Swallow Cave.

Swallow Cave is one of the main scenic spots in beauty spot of Getu River. The cave in the shape of an arch is about 110 meters high and nearly 30 meters wide. A clear river flows through the cave, and on both sides of the river are cliffs covered with moss. The work of Spiderman is to rock climing with hands on the wall of the cave.

6 people took a bamboo raft and slowly came under the cave wall. Senior brother Huang Xiaobao took the lead. He caught a bulging rock with both hands and climbed up quickly. In a few seconds, he had climbed five or six meters.

Other “Spiderman” followed closely, and each person was two or three meters apart. They had different grasping points and different postures.

After about 10 minutes, Huang Xiaobao, the first spider man, has been culminate. In order to signal to tourists, Huang Xiaobao waved the red flag inserted at the vertex and drum playing three times. The staff of the scenic spot told the reporter that the vertex was 80 meters high from the water surface and could only accommodate one person. The red flag and drum were brought by the “Spider Man” before.

Tourists watching on the bank of the river make a sound of admiration from time to time, picking up cameras and mobile phones one after another to record the rock climbing process of “Spider Man.

About 20 minutes later, all six “Spiderman” landed, and a tense and exciting performance ended. Some tourists are still unsatisfied and take photos with “Spider Man” one after another.

Luo Dengping told the reporter the story of her learning rock climing with hands. “When I was twelve or three years old, I followed my father to learn rock climbing. My father was a famous ‘Spider’ in this area. Originally, rock climing with hands was the technology of passing on men and women, at first, my father didn’t want to teach me.”

“I think men and women should be equal, I can learn. At my repeated request, my father took me to climb once.” Luo Dengping said that at that time, her father looked back and asked her if she really wanted to learn, and she answered that she would learn carefully. Therefore, my father decided to let her study rock climbing with five senior brothers.

Seven or eight years of study made Luo Dengping grow up rapidly. At the age of 20, Luo Dengping came to work in beauty spot of Getu River and became a qualified “Spider Man”.

Nowadays, climbing up and down on the beauty spot of Getu River of Swallow Cave scenic spot in Shek Pik has become the daily work of Luo Dengping. “When there are more people, you have to go back and forth five or six times a day, and when there are fewer people, two or three times.” She said that the scenic spot pays wages according to the number of performances, with an average income of 5000 or 6000 yuan per month.

In her 18-year rock climbing career, Luo Dengping did not have an accident. In her words, it was to get the true story of her father-there was no need to force and try many times. There is a rule in rock climing with hands, ‘It is easy to get up ‘. Father said, you can go up, don’t force it if you can’t go up. I can’t go up this time. Think about it for a few more days and try it a few more times, then I can go up step by step.” Luo Dengping said.

As a mother of two children, Luo Dengping was persuaded by her family to give up rock climbing, but she told her family that this was her favorite career and she would continue anyway. “My family worried about me and also came to see my work, but I told them that rock climbing was like walking a flat road, which made them dispel their doubts.” She said.

For the inheritance of this skill, 6 senior brothers and sisters said that their children were still young and would be taught to them if they liked rock climbing in the future. Moreover, they also plan to find some teenagers who are interested in rock climing with hands and are willing to accept them as apprentices to cultivate more “Spiderman”.
