China News Service, Beijing, February 16th. "Faster, higher, stronger, and more united" is the true meaning of the Olympic spirit. Gu Ailing also said that sports can unite everyone.

At the Beijing Winter Olympics, there were many small stories showing the "destiny" between Chinese and foreign friends.

A Different Kind of Chinese Love for German Athletes

　　Moritz Müller is the captain of the German men's ice hockey team. He ended his trip to the Beijing Winter Olympics on the 15th, but he has long forged a fate with China because of candy.

　　Muller lost his mother at a young age.

Twenty years ago, at the age of 15, he went to Cologne to pursue his love of ice hockey, but had nowhere to settle.

"I couldn't find a place to live, and I ended up living with three Chinese people temporarily. They gave me a lot of candy, and I was able to survive after eating it," recalls Mueller.

　　In the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chinese team played against the German team and finally lost to the German team with a score of 2:3.

Talking about this game, Muller said: "It can be seen that the Chinese team cooperated very well. We played very hard, and it was not easy to win the game."

On February 12, the men's ice hockey group match of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics was held at the Beijing National Stadium.

The Chinese team (white) lost 2:3 to the German team.

The Swedish curling player on the hot search

　　These days, the story of Swedish curler Armida De Waal has been talked about.

She asked the company for a written leave of absence, and when she won the Olympic medal, her astonished Chinese colleagues found out that she was going to the Beijing Winter Olympics.

It is reported that she will return to Sweden this week to return to work.

　　Responding to the enthusiasm of Chinese netizens, the athlete said: "I was surprised when a friend told me that I was popular on Weibo in China, and I searched the Internet to find out that I was really 'popular'."

　　At the same time, Armida spoke highly of the Winter Olympic Village, stadiums, international atmosphere, as well as the organizer's orderly organization and excellent handling of the epidemic.

The Winter Olympics Tour of India's "Only Miao Miao"

　　As the only Indian athlete to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics, Muhammad Arif Khan participated in the men's giant slalom and slalom in alpine skiing.

　　Arif has been exposed to skiing since he was a child and has a passion for skiing, which is very rare in a low-latitude country where cricket is the sport of choice for most people.

Among them, Arif's father Yasin contributed greatly: "I took Arif to the ski resort when he was only 4 years old."

　　The support of his family gave Arif great courage, and Yasin invested most of the profits from a ski equipment store he ran to his son, so that he could gallop in the Winter Olympics.

As Arif said: "My family has never backed down from financially helping me." (End)
