　　China News Service, Beijing, February 19 (Wang Hao) With the end of the last speed skating event at the Beijing Winter Olympics, the four-year hard work of Chinese player Guo Dan has come to an end.

In the women's group start event, the 31-year-old finally ranked 13th, and she was not particularly satisfied with this result.

　　In contrast to his fighting style on the field, Guo Dan is petite and handsome.

When she was interviewed in the mixed mining area, her voice was clear and clear. Even if she didn't know her identity, at first glance it would make people feel that she was a "spirited" person.

　　The speed skating group start event requires 16 laps in each round. There are two rounds in the semi-final and final in one afternoon, and the amount of exercise is not small.

But after the game, Guo Dan did not feel tired and was full of emotions.

　　"I think I've won the Winter Olympics because it's been too difficult for me. Of course, I'm not very satisfied with the result, but I'm enjoying the process very much on the field. I tried my best."

　　Guo Dan is a Grand Slam winner in the roller skating world. In 2015, he switched to speed skating in the cross-border selection and became an amphibious player.

In 2018, at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, she won the 10th place in the women's group speed skating team, she won the silver medal in roller skating at the Jakarta Asian Games, and became the Chinese delegation's flag bearer for the closing ceremony of the Asian Games.

　　Although roller skating and speed skating are both skating events, the differences in technology and equipment are not small, which is even more difficult for her, who is already a veteran.

　　But Guo Dan doesn't seem to be afraid. She even engages in bicycle training. In her words, this "can maximize her sports career." Looking for new challenges in the field.

　　In his many years of sports career, it is natural to be accompanied by injuries. Guo Dan, who participated in the Beijing Winter Olympics, still has steel nails and steel plates in his ankles.

　　Now, Guo Dan is the oldest player in the national speed skating team, and teammates sometimes say to her: "Sister Dan, you are still insisting, what reason do we have to talk about hardship and tiredness."

　　Guo Dan said that he hopes that through his own efforts, more young people will see that the impossible can be turned into a possibility.

　　Almost every veteran will be asked after the Winter Olympics about their future plans, because after such a big "battle", they may end their careers at any time.

　　Guo Dan has no such plans for the time being. She said with a smile: "I enjoy everything that sports brings to me, so I don't think age is a problem. As long as I like it, I can stick to 55 years old and retire. It was all right that day."

　　When asked if he could still meet at the next Winter Olympics, Guo Dan directly gave a closer timetable, "This year there will be the Asian Games in Hangzhou, and I hope I can be seen by everyone during the Asian Games. To my shadow - to participate in the Asian Games as a roller skater."

　　This "inactive" person is about to move to a new battlefield again.
