  中新网客户端北京2月4日电(记者 李赫)4日晚的北京冬奥会开幕式上,奥林匹克五环旗帜由六名护旗手护送,缓缓步入场中。他们不仅在此刻全程护送五环旗帜在“双奥之城”升起,更曾在中国冬季运动一路走来中奋勇前行,带领中国冰雪向一段又一段“零”的历史挥手作别。

罗致焕

——别了,新中国冬季项目无冠的历史

  2月2日,已年过八旬的罗致焕举起北京冬奥会第一棒火炬。这一刻,50多年前的历史与当下同频共振。

  那是1963年2月24日,日本长野,时年22岁的罗致焕站在第五十七届世界男子速度滑冰锦标赛1500米决赛起跑线,教练跑过来喊他的名字,让他低头看看胸前有什么。低下头,罗致焕看见自己毛衣胸前绣着“中国”两个字和一枚国徽。他明白教练的意思,为祖国拼搏,为祖国争光,这是他最重要的任务。

  2分09秒20,从出发到终点,罗致焕孤注一掷,用创下当时世界纪录的成绩完成了1500米滑行,成为我国第一个冬季项目世界冠军。这是响亮的序曲,是更大胜利的前奏。

  站在最高领奖台,手持奖牌和奖状的时候,观众将鲜花扔向罗致焕,为他喝彩。那一天,新中国冬季运动当之无愧地向全世界说:“别了,零!”

李佳军

——别了,中国男子运动员冬奥“零奖牌”的历史

  将记忆拉回到1998年长野冬奥会。在男子短道速滑1000米决赛中,中国选手李佳军出发后采取了“跟滑”战术,并抓住机会在内道实现超越,来到了第一的位置上。

  但在终点前的最后一个弯道处,身后的韩国选手突然加速完成了超越,李佳军以0.053秒的微弱差距获得亚军。

  尽管留有遗憾,但李佳军仍成为了首位为中国代表团摘得冬奥奖牌的男子运动员。那一天,中国男子运动员当之无愧地向冬奥无奖牌的历史说:“别了,零!”

Han Xiaopeng

——Farewell, the history of China's snow sports Winter Olympics without gold

  In the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics, Han Xiaopeng won the gold medal in the freestyle skiing men's aerial skills with a score of 250.77, breaking the monopoly of European and American athletes and achieving a "zero breakthrough" in the gold medals of Chinese snow sports and men's events at the Winter Olympics!

  At the moment of winning the gold medal, Han Xiaopeng was stunned. He said, "I have never won a gold medal in a world competition. I didn't expect that the first gold medal in a world competition would be an Olympic gold medal. I really wasn't ready."

  The "Prince of Dark Horse" was born, and China's snow sports deservedly said to the history of the Winter Olympics without medals: "Farewell, zero!"

Shen Xue

——Farewell, the history of China's figure skating Winter Olympics gold medal "zero"

  In the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, Chinese figure skating stars Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo jointly won the bronze medal in figure skating pair skating, which was the first medal won by Chinese pair skating at the Winter Olympics.

At the World Championships in the same year, they were crowned world champions for the first time.

  But at a critical moment in preparation for the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics, Zhao Hongbo ruptured his Achilles tendon and almost came back at the whistle. They won a bronze medal and once again missed the highest Olympic podium.

  In 2010, the Vancouver Winter Olympics, the two were already veritable veterans.

Desire for gold brought them back after a brief farewell to the ice.

Finally, 32-year-old Shen Xue and 37-year-old Zhao Hongbo hung the gold medal in figure skating pair skating around each other's necks.

  This pair of "figure skating legends" made Chinese figure skating deserve to say to the world: "Farewell, Zero!"

Zhang Hui

——Farewell, the history of the Chinese women's 3000m relay event without the Winter Olympics

  At the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, 22-year-old Zhang Hui, Wang Meng, Zhou Yang and Sun Linlin formed the "Four Golden Flowers" of Chinese women's short track speed skating.

  In the short track speed skating women's 3000-meter relay final of the Olympic Games, although the Chinese team composed of "Four Golden Flowers" crossed the finish line second, the Korean team's blocking foul was cancelled, and the Chinese team lost and regained the gold medal.

  欣喜若狂的张会庆祝时被王濛的冰刀划伤,后者的下巴左侧血流不止,她只能一直捂着伤处庆祝,后来紧急缝合10针。

  自1992年至2006年,中国短道速滑队连续5届冬奥会冲击这枚团体金牌,次次无功而返。2010年,血染赛场的张会和队友一同当之无愧地向全世界说:“别了,零!”

张虹

——别了,中国速度滑冰冬奥金牌“零”的历史

  2008年,20岁的张虹从一名短道速滑选手改行成为一名速度滑冰选手,之后的成绩便突飞猛进。

  2014年2月13日,中国速度滑冰迎来了创造历史的一天。张虹在索契冬奥会上,夺得了速度滑冰女子1000米比赛冠军,拿下了中国速度滑冰冬奥历史首金。

  自那时起,中国速度滑冰奥运军团当之无愧地向全世界说:“别了,零!”(完)
