Lanzhou, June 6 (Zhongxin Net) -- "In the past, I would call my mother to practice wrestling with me, but now my children will call me to wrestle together. Ulingova, a staff member of the Finance Bureau of Subei Mongolian Autonomous County in Jiuquan City, Gansu Province, said that although wrestling is her hobby, it is also a sport she wants to stick to for the rest of her life.
Born in 1993, Ulingova grew up in a pastoral area, and she helped her family from an early age. "I probably work a lot, so my strength is quite large." She said.
Ulingova first came into contact with women's wrestling in 2012, when she was a junior high school student. Because of her strength and quick reaction, Ulingova achieved a relatively good ranking in the competition, and at the same time, she also felt the fun of women's wrestling in the competition. Since then, she has often appeared in women's wrestling.
"I didn't learn any skills before I went to college, and I occasionally practiced with my mom." Ulingova's mother was also a female wrestler.
In 2000, Ulingova's mother won third place in women's wrestling at the 50th anniversary celebration of the founding of Subei County. In 2010, at the age of 17, Ulingova won the fourth place in women's wrestling at the 60th anniversary celebration of the founding of Subei County.
After that, her mother became a good partner for Ulingova to practice wrestling. "Wrestle, Mom." Whenever Ulingova shouted this sentence, her mother would always accompany her to practice together.
After graduation, Ulingova was admitted to the Subei County Finance Bureau. However, she did not give up on women's wrestling.
Whether it is the Subei County Festival or the Games, Ulin Gaova always actively signs up to participate. "I love wrestling because it's not only physical, but also reflexes and judgment." Ulingova's husband is also a wrestling enthusiast, and together they often exchange fighting techniques.
Ulingova said with a smile that since she got married, the person who practiced wrestling with her has changed from a mother to a husband. Today, Ulingova has children of her own, and due to the family atmosphere, her two children also love wrestling, and they will say to her, "Wrestle, Mom! ”
Although she is busy with work and takes care of her two children, Ulingova has always insisted on wrestling, which is a sport she wants to stick to all her life. Ulin Gaova said that recently, she has begun to prepare for the "Bokeqing" boxing competition, a traditional national sports event in Subei County in August, and she hopes to exchange wrestling skills with more outstanding athletes during the competition.
"Boke" is a Mongolian word meaning strong, united and durable, and the people of the steppe call Mongolian wrestling "Boke", which is also the first of the three major Mongolian sports (wrestling, horse racing, archery). On May 2006, 5, "Mongolian Boke" was inscribed on the first national list of intangible cultural heritage. (End)
