Hohhot, 20 Feb (Xinhua) -- When a Tibetan girl came to Lhasa to practice soccer in Lhasa, she sat on a bus for two days and one night, accompanied by her mother, Baima Qunzong.

In 2017, by chance, she became a football player at the ** Autonomous Region Sports Technical School, and since then, she has started her own sports path.
When she was in Zuogong County Primary School, Yongqing Lam claimed that her cultural classes were not good or bad, but she especially loved running, and the physical education teacher liked her very much. She was a little apprehensive when she actually wanted to become an athlete, and the farthest she had ever been was to go to Chamdo with her parents. "When I heard that I was going to Lhasa to practice football, many people from the village came to my house to congratulate me and presented me with a holy Hada. Before the long trip, my family scattered wind and horse flags on the top of the mountain, wishing me all the best. ”

But soon, the intense training brought her back to life as an athlete. A year later, she became a snowboarder after a cross-discipline selection.
In the following years, she accompanied the team to conduct professional training in Jiangsu, Jilin, Hebei and other places. Yongqing Ram will never forget the scene of practicing pushing on dry snow before hitting the slope - they need to glide on the snow with a resin material that resembles a "enoki mushroom". "After a few days of falling and sore buttocks, I gradually learned that as long as I didn't sit back while sliding, I gradually mastered the technique of gliding. ”
When he first came into contact with real snow at Songhua Lake in Jilin, Yongqing Ram was nervous and excited. "The S-bend on the snow has gone a lot smoother, and I really like the feeling of free-skating in the snow, as if I have wings to run on the grassland. ”

But God seems to have played a joke on her. In an open training session before the Beijing Winter Olympics, she was injured in an accident and regretted not participating in the Olympics.
More than two years later, on February 19, in the fierce competition in the young women's category of the snowboard slalom event at the National Winter Games, Yong Qing Lam won the championship. "This gold medal makes up for the fact that I was injured at the previous Winter Olympics and didn't play," she said.
On February 19, in the women's slalom competition of the snowboard youth group of the 14th National Winter Games, the top three players were won by Yongqing Ram, Yang Liyan of the Hubei team, and Feng He of the Liaoning team.

Although the parents didn't know how to help their daughter improve her grades, every time they came home, they would urge Yongqing Ram to get up early in the morning and run. "My father promised me to take me home in his dilapidated car after an 8-kilometer run in the morning......In the future, when I have money, I will definitely buy a better car for my father. Yongqing Ram said.
After the "14th Winter" competition, Yongqing Ram will be able to reunite with his family in a few days. "Before I go home, I should go to Beijing for knee surgery. She said this lightly.
