　　According to media reports, Li Changzhou, deputy director of venue logistics at the National Snowmobile Center, once said that ice makers should be strong and physically fit.

In snowmobiling, ice makers have to maintain the ice at the end of each ride, which can only be done in the short gaps between the two athletes' races.

So, icemakers "fly" on and off the track because they need to get things done quickly.

Without a good physique, it is impossible to do this job.

　　If it were you, would you have the confidence to complete these jobs?
