  My memory of the Winter Olympics is related to difficulties. Our Yanqing competition area is located in Xiaohaituo Mountain. The maximum wind force in the mountain area reaches level 11, and the temperature in winter is more than 30 degrees below zero. In the early stage of construction, there was no water, no electricity, no communication signals, and even no roads. , In such a harsh environment, relying entirely on people's backs and horses to transport various materials and materials, (in this way) a world-class national alpine skiing center has been built. Now that I think about it, it's all worth it.

  Before preparing for the Beijing Winter Olympics, my knees underwent four major surgeries and my cruciate ligaments were torn twice.

For high-altitude sports, this is a very difficult challenge, and it is also fatal.

Even so, it will not change my determination to win the championship, and to win the championship at home, challenge myself and pursue excellence, I did it.

  Because I have also skied in many ski resorts this year. There are more than a thousand people (all) at night, and the scene is very lively. I am very happy. It is really "the age of ice and snow".

At this moment, we are also practicing our better development of ice and snow sports, including the reuse of venues and the spiritual culture of the Beijing Winter Olympics. In fact, our inheritance is also very important.

Personally, I want to love skiing more first, to "infect" people around me.
