China News Service, Beijing, February 18th. The Beijing Winter Olympics are in full swing. Ice and snow athletes from all over the world are showing off their talents on the top stage, bringing one after another exciting matchup to the global audience.

At the same time, the many tidbits that took place outside the arena further highlighted the unique charm of the Beijing Winter Olympics.

18-year-old Gu Ailing: Su Yiming is an adult

　　February 18 is Su Yiming's 18th birthday.

In the Beijing Winter Olympics, this "genius boy" won 1 gold and 1 silver, and prepared himself the best coming-of-age gift.

　　As a friend of Su Yiming for many years, Gu Ailing, who ended her trip to the Beijing Winter Olympics with a gold medal today, also sent him birthday wishes.

"Happy birthday to Su Yiming. He is already an adult, so he can't be treated as a child. I hope he will continue to be happy and enjoy."

　　If there is no reminder, I am afraid that many netizens will ignore that Gu Ailing is actually only 18 years old after reading this passage.

　　18 years old, a new beginning.

I hope Su Yiming and Gu Ailing will ride their beloved snowboards and slide to a farther place.

Athletes who can't cook well are not good technical officials

　　A canteen chef at China University of Petroleum took a leave of absence to become a technical official at the Winter Olympics.

　　It turned out that the chef's name was Ming Zhixiang, and ice and snow was his initial starting point.

According to reports, Ming Zhixiang entered the sports school in Hulin City, Heilongjiang Province at the age of 10. He has participated in many national competitions and won the fourth place in the province and the sixth place in the National Games.

Ming Zhixiang was also selected for the Bayi Ski Team and eventually retired due to injury.

　　Out of his love for ice and snow sports and his professional qualities that he has cultivated over the years, Ming Zhixiang passed the strict selection and finally became a Winter Olympics technical officer as he wished.

　　As netizens said, "You never know how awesome your colleagues who usually work together are."

The loudest applause for the bravest

　　In the women's U-shaped field skills final of freestyle skiing at the Beijing Winter Olympics on the 18th, Chinese athlete Zhang Kexin had an accident during the third jump. After she fell, she was unable to get up for a while, and the competition was temporarily suspended.

　　Fortunately, after the timely treatment by the on-site medical team, Zhang Kexin slowly got up and slid across the finish line.

The moment she stood up, the audience burst into applause.

　　On the field and challenging his own limits, Zhang Kexin showed the spirit of Chinese sportsmen's courage to fight.

　　In the end, with a score of 78.75 in the first round, Zhang Kexin ranked seventh.

Compared with the ninth place in the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, she has completed a self-breakthrough.

　　Everyone who works hard for their dreams deserves respect and applause.

The Ice and Snow Dream of "Kung Fu Girl"

　　18-year-old Ran Hongyun is the first Chinese athlete to appear in the women's freestyle slalom chase.

　　Through cross-border and cross-selection materials, Ran Hongyun was able to enter the national ski training team.

During her 6 years in the martial arts school, this "Kung Fu girl" has developed extraordinary flexibility and balance.

　　Just 4 months after joining the national training team, Ran Hongyun won the bronze medal in the New Zealand Junior Ski Championship.

In order to make herself more devoted to the preparations for the Winter Olympics, she cut off her long hair by herself.

　　"I am lucky to be on the stage of the Winter Olympics, and it is already a breakthrough." For the first time participating in the Winter Olympics, Ran Hongyun's final results did not meet her expectations, but she is full of expectations for the future.

She hopes to "transcend herself" in the future and bloom on the next stage.
