On the evening of the 12th, the women's steel frame snowmobile event of the Beijing Winter Olympics ended all four rounds of competition, and Sichuan girl Li Yuxi finally finished 14th with a total score of 4 minutes 10.59 seconds. His teammate Zhao Dan was ranked 9th. This is also the first Winter Olympic report card of the Chinese women's steel frame snowmobile. Although the girls failed to win the medal, they still got the praise of netizens: the first time on the Winter Olympic track, the girls can look forward to the future!
On the morning of the 11th, Li Yuxi's parents and relatives sat by the TV early to watch Li Yuxi's first two rounds of the game, and they filmed and watched the video to commemorate Li Yuxi. But in the heart of Li Yuxi's mother, Ms. Li, in addition to being proud of her daughter, she is more distressed about her daughter's efforts and worried about her daughter's safety.
Ms. Li told Red Star News that Li Yuxi had broken the women's 100-meter record in Jiangyou City in junior high school, showing a talent for sprinting, and was later photographed by Coach Yang Xiuzhen, who was then the Olympic Sports School of Mianyang City, but because she was an only daughter, they did not want their daughter to suffer too much and gave up on the road of sports. However, Li Yuxi, in his first year of high school, still likes sports, as a parent, supporting his daughter's hobbies, they contacted Coach Yang Xiuzhen and opened the road of sports.
In 2018, at the same time that Li Yuxi was admitted to Chengdu Sports Institute, cross-border cross-border selection entered the Chinese steel frame snowmobile national team. In Ms. Li's eyes, in order not to let her parents worry, Li Yuxi is not reporting good news and not worrying, even if she is injured, it is difficult to mention, "The hardships she suffered in training are only known to herself." ”

The first talent
Sports-loving fathers know the hardships of athletes, and parents give up their daughters to take the road of sports
Li Yuxi is a native of Jiangyou City, Mianyang, Sichuan, his father Mr. Li loves sports, likes to run, play basketball, good physical fitness, inherited to Li Yuxi. In the impression of her mother, Ms. Li, Li Yuxi has a talent for running since she was a child.
On the morning of the 11th, Ms. Li told the Red Star News reporter that in 2012, at the Jiangyou City Middle School Students' Games, Li Yuxi participated in the 100-meter sprint competition, breaking the record of Jiangyou City for many years and has remained so far.
"At that time, she was favored by Coach Yang Xiuzhen, and Yang Jiao called my husband and hoped that Li Yuxi would go to the Mianyang Olympic Sports School for professional training." Ms. Li introduced that because her father likes sports and knows the hardships and hardships of athlete training, and Li Yuxi is their only daughter, the two have discussed, in order not to let their daughter suffer too much, they still hope that their daughter will have more time to study and enter a good university, so they politely reject coach Yang Xiuzhen.
However, in 2014, when Li Yuxi was a freshman in high school, he still liked sports and liked sprinting, and once again took the initiative to find his father, Mr. Li, and expressed his desire to train with Coach Yang Xiuzhen.
"The daughter's hobbies, we can't help but be parents. The daughter found Coach Yang's phone, her father called Coach Yang, at that time Coach Yang had retired and worked as a coach at the Mianyang Star Athletics Club, so we sent our daughter to Coach Yang. Ms. Li recalled that at that time, they drove from Jiangyou every day, sent their daughter to Mianyang for training, and then picked up their daughter back to Jiangyou, and later, in order to make it more convenient for their daughter to train, they transferred their daughter to a high school in Mianyang.

Joined the national team
She only reported good news and not worries, saw the injured scars, and her daughter only said "It's okay"
Under the training of Coach Yang, Li Yuxi's sports talent has been fully demonstrated, although it has started from scratch, but it has improved rapidly in all aspects. A year later, in order to let Li Yuxi have a better development, coach Yang Xiuzhen recommended it to Wu Feng of Chengdu Sports Institute for guidance.
"In 2018, my daughter was admitted to the Chengdu Institute of Physical Education, and at that time, just when the Chinese snowmobile national team and the steel frame snowmobile national team were in cross-border cross-border cross-item selection, Wu Feng's guidance took Li Yuxi to Guangdong to participate in the selection." Ms. Li recalled that after the selection, Li Yushi was selected by the coaches of the snowmobile and the steel frame snowmobile, but Li Yushi himself chose the steel frame snowmobile.
Cross-border cross-border is another new challenge for Li Yuxi, starting from scratch. But for Ms. Li, her heart is more worried about her daughter's safety.
"We didn't know about steel-framed snowmobiles at first, and ice and snow sports are unfamiliar to most southerners. Later, after understanding, the steel frame snowmobile also has a certain danger, and I am more worried about my daughter's safety. Ms. Li said.
Recalling the hardships of her daughter's training, Ms. Li choked up a little on the phone. She told the Red Star News reporter that after Li Yuxi entered the Chinese steel frame snowmobile national team, he spent most of the winter training and competition abroad, returned to China for physical training in the summer, and the time to go home every year was only about ten days, and they and Li Yuxi often gathered less and more. However, in order to let her daughter train with peace of mind, Ms. Li has little contact with her daughter, and she only lets her daughter report that she is safe. Because in Ms. Li's view, her daughter is in the national team, and other aspects do not need her to consider.
However, as a mother, Ms. Li's worries about her daughter's safety have never been less. Ms. Li recalled that once Li Yuxi came home, she found a deep scar on her daughter's arm, and her tears were swirling in her eyes, but her daughter comforted her, just a small injury, it was okay, it was already well.
"My daughter only reports good news and does not report worries, every time she contacts me, she says how her training performance is, never mentions the pain and tiredness of her training, so many years, the pain her daughter suffered, only she herself knows." Ms. Li choked up.
