The snowboard halfpipe competition is even more "blooming". There are a total of 25 athletes in the men's and women's youth categories, who come from various provinces across the country. Among them, athletes from Shanxi, Anhui, Sichuan and other places are the new faces of the Winter Games. Among them, players from Anhui and Shanxi have entered the finals, and the level of competition is relatively high.

Snowboarding is a popular sport among young people, and it has developed very rapidly in recent years, and the territory is advancing to the south. Many of the athletes participating in the '14th Winter' this time have developed in the Beijing Winter Olympics cycle. The coach of the Shanxi team said.

Wang Lei, director of the Winter Sports Management Center of the General Administration of Sport of China, said: "In the past, the National Winter Games were participated in by prefectures and cities, which was conducive to the popularization of the project, but the integration was insufficient. For the first time, the "14th Winter" participated in the competition in provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities directly under the central government, and from the perspective of some of the competitions that have ended, many delegations have played well. ”

The first gold medal of the "14th Winter" was won on July 22, 2023, and it was the Guangdong women's ice hockey team that won the championship with a record of 6 wins. Half a year later, when Guangdong Province organized a delegation to the National Winter Games for the first time, the total size of the delegation reached 191 people. A player from the Guangdong ice hockey team told reporters that when he first came to the Hailar competition area, many people thought it was incredible when he talked about the number of participants in the Guangdong delegation. But after a few days of competition, everyone has a new understanding of the development level of ice and snow sports in Guangdong.

As of February 24, 2024, the Chongqing delegation has won 4 gold medals in this Winter Games, all of which were won by cross-country skier Wang Qiang. "This is the first time that Chongqing has participated in the National Winter Games since the launch of ice and snow sports in 2018. The breakthrough of the first gold medal is of great significance, as it is the manifestation of the ice and snow sports's 'south, west, and east'. Zhang Ge, deputy director of the Chongqing Winter Sports Management Center, said.

According to Zhang Ge, including the members of the joint training, a total of 151 athletes from Chongqing participated in the qualifying rounds of the "14th Winter" competitions, and 137 people got tickets to the final stage. Zhang Ge said that Chongqing has adopted a "combination of long and short" methods to cultivate local athletes in winter sports. "Long" means to select young athletes through cross-border and cross-discipline selection to maintain the sustainable development of snow sports; "Short" is to introduce high-level athletes to achieve results for Chongqing, and at the same time to drive the growth of the next batch of athletes.

In recent years, non-ice and snow provinces have increased the intensity of "four seasons expansion" and "cross-item selection" of ice and snow sports. For example, many of the players who participated in the "14th Winter" went to the ice and snow field through "cross-discipline selection" in the past few years. Before many cross-country skiers who participated in the "14th Winter" mass competition turned from roller skating to skiing, the roller skating province represented by Sichuan added the "speed roller skating + short track speed skating" project in the Provincial Games.

Song Jiarui in the "14th Winter" short track speed skating youth mixed relay championship team was born in Ya'an City, Sichuan Province in 2005, began to practice roller skating at the age of 3, received formal training at the age of 5, and was the first batch of athletes in the short track speed skating team of Sichuan Province.

Most of the competitions in the short track speed skating events of the previous Winter Games were carried out between athletes from various cities in Heilongjiang and Jilin provinces. In the "14th Winter" field, Shandong, Shanxi, Hubei, Henan and other provinces, as well as Yunnan, Guangxi and other southwestern provinces and regions have also joined the competition of this project, indicating that the "territory" of China's short track speed skating is expanding and the foundation is deepening.

The Shandong short track speed skating team is particularly noteworthy. In 2010, the Shandong sports department began to carry out short track speed skating projects in the mode of "provincial team and municipal office". In the "Thirteenth Winter" field 8 years ago, the Qingdao team made its debut in the Winter Games. After more than 10 years of exploration and hard work, Shandong has cultivated a group of outstanding players represented by Li Wenlong, An Kai, Yu Songnan, Gong Li, and Jia Huiling, as well as Li Jinhao, Zhang Xinzhe and other hopeful stars who have won gold and silver in the Winter Youth Olympic Games. In this Winter Games, the Shandong team won the gold medal in the mixed team relay and also won several individual medals.

In addition to Heihei, Kyrgyzstan and Liaoning provinces, Beijing, Xinjiang, Sichuan, Inner Mongolia, Shandong, Hebei, Tianjin and other provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities have established professional short track speed skating teams. The scene of the domestic short track speed skating arena full of Northeast accents has long been a thing of the past, and the "southern accent and northern tune" is becoming the mainstream. "Now there are more athletes from more provinces participating in the competition, which is a promotion for the development of short track speed skating in China, and it is also the hope of laying a solid foundation for the project and realizing the sustainable and high-quality development of short track speed skating. Li Qishi, a speed skater who has competed in many major competitions, said.

In Hong Kong, where the climate is warm and there is no ice or snow all year round, ice hockey has a good foundation. The Hong Kong ice hockey team players are selected from the community, and there are teams from the U7 to U17 age groups, and they train basically every week. Liu Zhen, head of the Hong Kong delegation to the 14th Winter, said that in recent years, Hong Kong has made great progress in carrying out ice and snow sports. He hopes that through the "14th Winter", more Hong Kong people will become interested in ice and snow sports, deepen their knowledge and understanding of ice and snow sports, and further create a strong atmosphere for people to participate in ice and snow sports.

The reporter noticed that in the alpine skiing field, the number of athletes participating in the competition has doubled compared with previous years, and the level has also been greatly improved compared with previous athletes of the same age. Zhang Zhiwei, a member of the coaching staff of the Beijing Winter Olympics Alpine Skiing National Team, believes that the joint training model has enabled more potential teenagers to participate in this sport, accumulated more talents for China's alpine skiing, and played a great role in promoting the development of alpine skiing.

From the interview, the reporter learned that in the process of developing ice and snow sports, in addition to building hardware facilities according to their own conditions, non-traditional ice and snow areas will also adopt the method of sending athletes to the north for training, and at the same time, external coaches are also an important means.

The Beijing Winter Olympics has boosted China's ice and snow sports into the fast lane of high-speed progress, the territory of ice and snow sports has been fully expanded and covered in China, and China's competitive sports will also achieve a gratifying situation in which the Winter Games and the Summer Games go hand in hand.
