At present, the Beijing Winter Olympic Games are in full swing, and there is an upsurge of watching the Games in China. *** Objectively speaking, compared with traditional ice and snow sports powers, China's ice and snow sports started late, with low popularity and weak mass base. In the history of the Olympic Games, in 1980, the 13th Winter Olympic Games ushered in the figure of the Chinese for the first time; 22 years later, Chinese athletes won the first gold at the 19th Winter Olympic Games; In 2015, when the Beijing Winter Olympics bid was successful, about 1 / 3 of the 109 events were still blank. However, at this winter Olympics, the Chinese sports delegation won the qualification of 194 seats in 104 events and achieved a "zero breakthrough" in 35 events. The significance behind this is no less than picking gold and silver on the field. During this time, the team has been paying attention to the Winter Olympic Games. In addition to winning gold and silver, many athletes work hard. For example, in the alpine skiing downhill competition, Chinese athlete xu Mingfu crossed the finish line and finished the race successfully with the result of 36th place. This result may not be excellent, but it makes the Chinese name appear on the score book of this project for the first time. As netizens said: "participation is the best start." Whether for the country or athletes, the significance of challenging and breaking through oneself is far more important than winning or losing. *** In today's increasingly firm national self-confidence, gold medals are no longer the only way for the Chinese to prove themselves. As long as the athletes win the gold medal, they will cheer with the same attitude as the domestic athletes, but with the same attitude as the audience. For example, in the men's U-shaped field skill qualification of snowboarding a few days ago, Gao Hongbo, who was injured, had to complete the competition with low difficulty. In the face of this optimistic and resolute boy, netizens warmly encouraged: "you are the champion in our hearts" and "brave boy, good kind". After so many years, the Chinese people's understanding of sports is gradually saying goodbye to the "gold medal only theory". More people understand the Olympic spirit and enjoy the Olympic Games. In fact, the significance of the Olympic Games is far more than competition during the event. The Winter Olympics achieved the goal of "driving 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports". In the short film "future champion" of the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, the scene of 1-year-old skiing attracted everyone. "Ski babies" can step on snowboards without walking. Behind the "crowd effect" is the ice and snow boom surging in Chinese society. According to statistics, since Beijing's successful bid for the Winter Olympics, 346 million Chinese residents have participated in ice and snow sports. During the Spring Festival holiday this year, the number of tickets in Beijing Ski Resorts exceeded more than twice the number of tickets in the same period of the Spring Festival in 2019, and the popularity of skating rinks and ski resorts everywhere was "bursting". More and more "cold sports" are "heating up" in China. *** Bach responded: "China has achieved the goal of more than 300 million people engaging in ice and snow sports, which is a great achievement never seen before and will become a major contribution to the Chinese people and the International Olympic movement." Hosting the Winter Olympics is not a one hammer deal. After it can't be done, it will become a "silent mountain forest". Data show that from 2015 to 2020, the total scale of China's ice and snow industry increased from 270 billion yuan to 600 billion yuan. By 2025, this figure is expected to exceed trillion. For example, Chongli, Hebei Province, which used to be difficult to travel in winter, has now built seven large ski resorts. The ice and snow economy has enabled more and more locals to win the "snow rice bowl" and opened a new way to increase income and get rich. Christopher Dolby, an IOC official who witnessed the preparations for the Beijing Winter Olympics, believes that the Olympic effect can contribute to the host city in 20 years or more. "Beijing has done it," he said. (Xinhua News Agency)
