A tribute to the "Sharp Knife on Ice"! The way you try your best shines more than the gold medal

Ice and snow stir up blood, passion accompanies warmth. Tonight, the Chinese short track speed skating team's competition is gripping - although Wu Dajing failed to win a medal, his gesture of doing his best was touching; Qu Chunyu, Zhang Chutong, Fan Kexin and Zhang Yuting sisters were united in the same heart to win the third place in the women's 3000m relay.

Short track speed skating is a contest of speed and strength, the field is as strong as a cloud, the event is ups and downs, and the decisive moment is often fixed in the thousandth of seconds. Remembering Pyeongchang 4 years ago, Wu Dajing achieved a breakthrough of zero gold medals in the Chinese men's short track speed skating Winter Olympics in one fell swoop, and was vividly called "tiger's mouth tooth extraction". In this Winter Olympic Games, the veteran shouldered the heavy responsibility of team leadership and advanced to the final under heavy pressure, which is already a strong person in our hearts.

Looking at the women's 3000-meter relay battle, the Chinese team with the new and old pairs dare to fight in the face of strong teams, capture the fighters boldly and courageously, not only harvested this heavy bronze medal, but also let people see the bright future of the Chinese short track speed skating women's team.

"You can always trust the Chinese short track speed skating team." What makes this "strong division" and "ace division"? There are several key points in the answer. Suitable for the system, Heiji and other advantageous areas have explored a relatively mature training concept, technical requirements and methods, "please come in" and "go out" have achieved the organic combination of the model and themselves, laying the foundation for building dreams; the persistence of the coach, a group of grass-roots sports workers like Meng Qingyu for decades, tirelessly, regardless of returns, select seedlings, willing to be ladders, to ensure a steady stream of reserve talents; indomitable spirit, generations of speed skaters get up early and greedy, brave the wind and snow, "carry together, go forward". For more than thirty years, relying on continuous struggle and deep cultivation, we have achieved today's achievements.

The road to chasing dreams is never easy, and the arena is full of challenges, but we should always believe in the value of hard work and should always believe in the value of professionalism. Indomitable, hard work, setbacks and perseverance, and courage to climb the peak are precious sportsmanship and the spirit that Chinese should have.
