　　The first Winter Olympics after the Olympic motto "More Unity" has just ended.

And the moment of "warmth" between athletes from all over the world that surpassed the outcome has long since become a classic.

For more than half a month, "you" and "I" from different countries have become "we" together in the Winter Olympics.

　　Consolation for defeat, blessing for victory

　　During the Beijing Winter Olympics, pictures of Gu Ailing hugging French athlete Tess Ludd to comfort her were frequently seen in online newspapers.

In the freestyle skiing women's platform final, seeing the amazing performance of her opponent, Gu Ailing, who "didn't listen to her mother" in the third jump, chose to try ultra-difficult moves and won a gold medal.

When her opponent, Tess Ludd, made a mistake and cried in the snow, she ran to him to hug and comfort her.

On February 8, Chinese athlete Gu Ailing won the championship in the women's freestyle ski jumping final of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics held at the Beijing Shougang Ski Jumping platform.

After the match, Gu Ailing hugged the runner-up French player Tess Luder.

　　Later, Swiss player Mathilde Gremode also joined in, and the scene of the girls hugging in the snow was touching.

A few days later, Gu Ailing revealed the reason why she likes skiing: this is a sport that has the opportunity to break national boundaries and push the limits of human beings together with opponents.

　　In the women's freestyle skiing women's aerial skills final, when Xu Mengtao, a "veteran of the four dynasties" and Chinese athlete in the Winter Olympics, won the gold medal with a near-perfect performance, "Veteran" of the American team, Ashley Kao, competed in the same field. Dwyer didn't show his loss, but shouted "Peach" and hugged her quickly: "I'm so proud of you!" That night, this heartwarming scene in the cold night was retained by the audience inside and outside the stadium.

A few days ago, they had just "played tricks" in the mixed team competition and reached the podium together.

　　Exchange gifts on the same stage to "come together" to increase friendship

　　In large-scale international events, it has long been common for athletes of different nationalities to give and exchange gifts and share experiences.

On the second day of the opening of the Winter Olympics, the media captured such a story: After the curling mixed doubles round-robin competition, Chinese players Ling Zhi and Fan Suyuan presented American athletes Christopher Pulis and Victoria Persinger with Bing Dun Dun badges.

Subsequently, the American team members posted photos on the Internet, saying that this is a manifestation of sportsmanship.

On February 5th, in the mixed doubles round-robin round of curling at the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chinese team composed of Fan Suyuan and Ling Zhi lost 5-7 to the United States.

After the game, Fan Suyuan and Ling Zhi gave each person a box of 4 Winter Olympic badges to the American curling mixed doubles team.

Ling Zhi said that the four Winter Olympic badges are different, and the U.S. team likes this gift very much.

　　The story also became a hot topic, but it didn't end there.

The next day, Chinese athletes also received badges from each other, which became a good story.

　　Badge swaps aren't just popular among athletes.

Inside and outside the venue, volunteers exchanged "hot" badges with journalists and staff from various countries.

Send each other blessings and let different cultures communicate and integrate.

　　There are also various "comparisons" that are popular on and off the field: after one person finishes the "comparison", the winners of the award ceremony "comparison" together, and "comparison" through the car window when saying goodbye... This one does not need "translation" Love is one of the most frequently used "languages" in this Winter Olympics.

Figure skaters from China and Japan, Jin Boyang and Yuzuru Hanyu, competed in the same frame after the competition, and continued to attract attention.

They enhanced friendship through friendly interaction, and also led "fans" from different countries to enhance understanding and communication.

　　Pay tribute to the legendary love and rookie relay inheritance and go to the future

　　The Winter Olympics have never lacked famous players and legends.

Ivo Niskanen, a famous Finnish player who has won gold medals in the Sochi Winter Olympics and the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, is such a person.

In the men's 15km cross-country skiing (traditional technique) race, facing severe cold and wind, he, who has won the gold medal, chose to wait for other runners at the finish line.

This move warmly inspires every player, especially the young players who are competing for the first time.

This is a scene at the National Cross-Country Ski Center on February 11. In the men's 15km (traditional technique) cross-country skiing competition at the Winter Olympics, Finland's Ivo Niskanen (No. 64) waits for the final row after winning the championship. Colombian Carlos Andres Quintana, the last-placed player, took the initiative to give a hug as he crossed the finish line.

This is the stage where the world's top players gather, and every player who tries his best to finish the race deserves to be encouraged.

　　Canadian athlete Mark McMorris, a "veteran" at the Winter Olympics, encouraged young people in another way.

After the snowboard men's slope obstacle course final, as the idol of the Chinese teenager Su Yiming, he took the initiative to hug Su Yiming who was better than himself.

The post-match press conference praised the worthy "Su" several times, encouraging him to achieve better results.

And Su Yiming lived up to expectations and won a gold medal a few days later.

　　At the Beijing Winter Olympics, 2,877 athletes from 91 countries and regions gathered together.

In the pursuit of "faster, higher, stronger", it also vividly interprets "more unity" by hugging and communicating again and again.

After the Winter Olympics, the "Story of Spring" passed on from here will continue, just like the snowflake torch stage at the opening ceremony, turning the light into a torch.

Another example is the fireworks at the closing ceremony, "One Family in the World".
