young and fearless
Before the interview, Zhang Mengqiu, who won her second gold medal in the Paralympic alpine skiing women's giant slalom-stance competition, watched the big screen and shouted for his teammates.
"Come on! Go! Go!" It was obvious that she was very involved.
From being recruited by Hebei Province as a disabled athlete for ice and snow events in 2016, focusing on alpine skiing, to spending 2-3 times more time in training than others to polish himself.
In the past 6 years, when Zhang Mengqiu stood on the field in front of her home, she has become the "leader" in the eyes of Wang Xiangping, the leader of the alpine ski team of the Chinese delegation to the Beijing Winter Paralympics.
And on many occasions, the little girl who just passed her 20th birthday is also an active person in the atmosphere.
When Zhang Wenjing, a teenager who won the bronze medal in the women's giant slalom-sitting competition, walked into the mixed mining area, Zhang Mengqiu, who had finished the competition, quickly slid towards her and carefully wiped tears for his teammates. The two embraced tightly and congratulated each other. .
At this moment, the warm embrace has long been worth more than a thousand words.

"We've had a lot of hardships along the way." Speaking of this, Zhang Wenjing choked several times.
She, who ranked fifth in the first round, gave it a go in the second round in exchange for the final "bloom".
After winning a bronze medal on the 6th, Zhang Wenjing believes that she will be able to win "Jin Rongrong" in the future.
At this moment, at the age of 19, she fulfilled her promise.
Veteran hold on
1 silver and 2 bronze, this is the answer sheet handed over by Chinese player Liu Sitong.
In interviews, she often used "enjoy the game" to describe herself.
In her opinion, the Chinese team has given a strong force behind the scenes.
"Don't leave any regrets for yourself, just be Liu Sitong." After the first round of the women's giant slalom-sitting competition on the morning of the 11th, Liu Sitong once motivated himself like this.
Although she missed the gold medal again after the second round in the afternoon, she could still see the smile on the face of the Northeast girl.
She bluntly said that the charm of alpine skiing is to challenge herself, which is why she became attached to the ski resort.
On March 11, China's Liu Sitong was in the game.
On the same day, the Beijing 2022 Paralympic Alpine Skiing Women's Giant Slalom - Seated Final was held at the Yanqing National Alpine Ski Center. China's Liu Sitong won the silver medal with a time of 2:09.55.

As a child, Liu Sitong was a laughing child, but when she was four years old, a car accident took her right leg.
In 2008, she joined the Liaoning Provincial Hand Cycling Team and became a disabled athlete.
Soon, she won gold medals in two consecutive National Paralympic Games.
But Liu Sitong didn't want to stop there, "I want to challenge myself more, so I came to the disabled alpine skiing national team."
Four years ago in Pyeongchang, Liu Sitong was the first Chinese athlete to participate in the Winter Paralympic alpine skiing competition, writing a new history.
After the Beijing Winter Paralympics, Liu Sitong, who loves challenges, will change his identity again.
"After the competition, I will report to Beijing Sports University. I want to study hard and be a good student." She said with a smile.

In the Chinese Paralympic Alpine Ski Team, Zhang Haiyuan, born in 1977, is a well-deserved veteran.
In her eyes, being able to persevere until the end of the race is already a victory.
As early as the 2004 Athens Paralympic Games, she won the women's long jump F42 gold medal with a score of 3 meters 67, and broke the world record.
When talking about why he chose to switch to the snow field after winning the summer Paralympic Games, Zhang Haiyuan said firmly, "I want to be a double Olympic player and a double Olympic champion. Although the latter goal (leaving me) gradually far, but I don't regret what I did."
In addition, 32-year-old veteran Zhu Daqing also won a silver medal in the women's giant slalom-visually impaired competition, which is her fourth medal in this competition.
The veterans are still sticking to the arena, and the young players have also taken over the "baton" of their predecessors.
The rapid progress of the Chinese team in Paralympic alpine skiing has amazed many foreign media.
Behind the 4 medals in a single day, there are countless hardships and emotions.
When they set foot on the arena of "Xue Feiyan", they were already worthy of everyone's admiration.
