Su Yiming won the silver medal, Ren Ziwei won the gold medal, and Gu Ailing won the gold medal... When the Beijing Winter Olympics was full of enthusiasm, a group of primary school students with an average age of about 10 years old in the Wanquan District of Zhangjiakou, Hebei were also persevering for their love.
"Keep up with," "Come on, come on," "Not bad, not bad"... Following the coach's instructions, the children stepped on the roller skates and formed a semicircle, with their arms behind their backs, and slid over with a "swoosh".
Such sports scenes have become the daily routine of many young people in Zhangjiakou.
Tian Xing has been engaged in physical education teaching for 15 years and is an external roller skating coach employed by many schools in Zhangjiakou.
He told a reporter from China Youth Daily and China Youth Daily that the roller skating course, as an early project for ice and snow sports to enter the campus, ignited the enthusiasm of many young people for ice and snow.
In Zhangjiakou, in winter, many schools build their own ice rinks, and students can enjoy skating without leaving school.
It was winter vacation and there was plenty of time. Tian Xing started a class. He taught once a week on average, and the children voluntarily signed up to participate.
"About seventy or eighty students came, and many of them said they liked the feeling of 'rolling ice'." The "rolling ice" in Tian Xing's mouth refers to skating from land to ice.
The children participating in the training have the foundation of roller skating and can quickly master the skills of "skate".
Tian Xing introduced that roller skating lessons are taught on campus on weekdays, and teachers will also teach according to the technical level that can be used on ice.
At No. 5 Primary School in Wanquan District, most of the students in grades 3 to 5 have been able to achieve a smooth connection of "rolling ice" and become a compound sports teenager who has mastered the "land-ice amphibious" skating skills at the same time.
"When you were a beginner, did you cry because you fell down?" After the reporter asked questions, the children said to each other, "Don't cry, we never cry" "What are you afraid of, there is nothing to be afraid of" "The coach teaches Let's stand up from where we fell"... A boy who had just taken off his helmet, sweat on his hair, and steam on his head also came over and added: "Yes, get up after you fall. ."
In addition to bringing more tenacity and courage to young people, ice and snow sports also have many "by-products".
Tian Xing said that some parents have reported to him that participating in ice and snow can actually force their children to study hard, "In order to go out to play snow skating with friends earlier, children will work hard to complete their homework faster and better, forming a sports and skating experience. positive interaction in studies".
Since Zhangjiakou entered the "Winter Olympics time", the atmosphere of ice and snow sports entering the campus has become stronger and stronger.
Tian Xing said that since China's successful bid for the Winter Olympics, he has taught more than 5,000 elementary school students and even kindergarten children on campus.
Some children have become "little stars" in the campus after learning "ice and snow skills" from kindergarten and entering elementary school.
Compared with the popularity of "rolling ice" among teenagers, curling, one of the classic ice and snow sports and known as "chess on ice", has become popular in campuses due to the high cost of equipment and other reasons. encountered many problems.
Curling coach Ge Yi said that curling pursues not only the balance of strength and speed, but also a duel of thinking and logical ability, which requires high personal comprehensive quality of young people.
And these technical difficulties are precisely the significance of the ice and snow sports entering the campus.
Today, the "cold movement" has set off a boom, and difficulties are quietly "melting".
Bai Jianhai, deputy secretary of the Party Working Committee of Zhangjiakou Ice and Snow Sports Equipment Industrial Park, calculated the account for the reporter. It used to cost 180,000 yuan to buy a set of curling equipment. Now, the self-produced set contains 18 kettles and a special floor of more than 10 meters. Leather, 2 curling rubbing land curling equipment, only about 8,000 yuan to 12,000 yuan, and the maintenance cost is low, the site requirements are loose.
Bai Jianhai said that not only curling, but also local relevant departments will provide support in different dimensions for different projects, allowing ice and snow sports to "break the ice" into the campus.
Kang Hai, a cadre of the Sports and Education Bureau of Wanquan District, Zhangjiakou, admitted in an interview with reporters that in the process of implementing the call for "ice and snow sports on campus", the district has encountered many problems: Affected by seasonal limitations, sports are carried out for a short period of time.
In order to solve the above problems, Zhangjiakou Wanquan District Sports and Education Bureau has mainly focused on three items: first, actively carry out teacher training to solve the problem of "who will teach"; second, strive for funds to build venues and configure ice and snow sports equipment; third, break through seasonal restrictions , to increase the actual combat capability.
"Through roller skating and cross-country skiing, we vigorously carry out roller skating training and activities, so that students can experience ice and snow activities in any season, and through a series of events, students can participate widely and improve their skills." Kang Hai said .
Since the successful bid for the Winter Olympics in 2015, Zhangjiakou City has trained more than 5,000 social sports instructors and campus counselors for ice and snow events, requiring all physical education teachers to master at least one ice and snow sports skill.
Up to now, local primary and secondary schools have built a total of 155 campus ice rinks with a total area of about 210,000 square meters, which directly radiate and drive about 300,000 primary and secondary school students to experience ice sports, which has greatly promoted the popularization of ice and snow sports on campus.
