[Beijing Winter Olympics] "Silver-haired Uncle" leaps over the big platform: sports bring happiness
[Commentary] On February 12, at the New Year's board grabbing competition held at Jilin Vanke Songhua Lake Ski Resort, Zhang Yibing was particularly eye-catching: the technical difficulty of leaping the big jumping platform was the highest in the field, but he took off his helmet on the ground but was full of silver hair.
On the same day, 60-year-old Zhang Yibing stepped down on the veneer, "taken off" from the take-off platform, and flew into the air, rotating 180 degrees, 360 degrees... After catching the snowboard with his hands in mid-air, he landed steadily and continued to slide.
Every action has won the applause of ski enthusiasts.
In the snow season of the Winter Olympics, the short video platform "The 60-year-old uncle is so cool to ski and fly on the platform" has over 10 million views, attracting the attention of the "protagonist" Zhang Yibing.
In the competition that day, Zhang Yibing was wearing the No. 11 competition uniform. The young people called him "Brother Soldier" and cheered him on with music and cheers.
In an atmosphere dominated by entertainment, he got a good place.
He believes, "For ice and snow sports, age is not an issue."

Skiing is a lot of fun because every time you try, you may be making a lot of progress.
You can watch yourself improve with your own eyes.
[Explanation] Zhang Yibing lives in Changchun, Jilin, and has been skiing for 20 years.
In recent years, skiing has become a fashionable sport in China, and Zhang Yibing has more partners and friends.
New ice and snow equipment, ice and snow culture, and ice and snow activities have landed in this snow season.

There were only a dozen of us when we were skiing, and when we were snowboarding (in) Changchun.
At that time, because even the ski resort did not rent snowboards, there was no.
With the progress of society and the country, everyone's wealth, and the investment of enterprises, China's ski resorts, especially the ski resort in Wanke Songhua Lake, where I live, are already first-class in China, and can allow skiers from all over the world to come here. Come, I also think this is a great ski resort.
[Commentary] Zhang Yibing's "specialized" slope obstacle skills this year have been included in the Winter Olympics.
As an older person in the group of enthusiasts, he has his own opinion: the only opponent in this project is himself, and every jump has to break through the previous one.
[Concurrent] Zhang Yibing
(Slope obstacle skills) seems to be a kind of sport, but in fact, it is more that everyone thinks that this sport, its degree of danger, the degree of difficulty of training, and the comprehensive ability of all aspects of physical requirements are particularly high of a sport.
[Commentary] Zhang Yibing hopes that more young people will appreciate the charm of skiing.
In addition to the ski trails, he also shoots short videos and other works, telling the basic skills of snowboarding and the common sense of equipment use.
