the world's first air-cushioned halfpipe snowboarding venue, which was recently completed at the baiqingzhai ski resort in shenyang, has recently welcomed its first batch of users, namely the chinese snowboard halfpipe training team. while training in shenyang through the "new technology" smart venue, the national team also visited guangquan school in shenyang to convey the spirit of hard work and popularize knowledge about ice and snow sports. li nina, the leader of the national snowboard halfpipe snowboarding team and two-time winter olympic silver medalist, said in an interview on september 22: "the training conditions for ice and snow sports in my hometown have improved by leaps and bounds. in the future, this place will definitely become a cradle of talents for ice and snow sports."
shenyang's ice and snow sports venues have made rapid progress
there are a total of 18 people in the chinese snowboard halfpipe training team that came to shenyang for training. this is the first time in the history of shenyang that the national snowboard team has been invited to train. the arrival of the national snowboard team is directly related to the dry snow air cushion halfpipe that was recently built at shenyang sport university.
li nina introduced: "the dry snow air cushion u-shaped venue located in baiqingzhai ski resort is the first of its kind in the world. the national snowboard u-shaped venue team is currently conducting off-season training, so we chose to experience the training effect of this high-tech venue as soon as possible. this venue is very helpful for u-shaped venue training, especially the air cushion laid in the landing area. athletes no longer need to make a hard landing as before when performing difficult landing movements, thus avoiding the probability of injury. in the past, we could only conduct this kind of soft landing training in the pool, which was very inefficient and could not be closely integrated with the venue. this newly built venue closely combines the u-shaped venue with the soft landing area, which improves training efficiency. in addition to training safety, the venue can also collect athletes' landing angles, strength and other data in the first place through an intelligent system, providing scientific data support for improving technical movements."
when she was an athlete, li nina trained for a long time at shenyang sports university. she was deeply impressed by the increasingly excellent ice and snow sports venues in her hometown. "shenyang's ice and snow sports conditions can be said to have made great progress. for example, the freestyle skiing aerials dry ski jumping platform built before the beijing winter olympics and the current dry ski air cushion u-shaped venue are top-notch in the world, even unique. training on such a venue can greatly improve efficiency and safety, which is very conducive to improving performance."
if you want to vigorously develop ice and snow sports, excellent hardware conditions are a prerequisite. li nina said: "the 15th national winter games will be held in liaoning in 2028. the ice and snow sports facilities in my hometown will take this opportunity to make a qualitative leap, which will lay a solid foundation for the comprehensive development of ice and snow sports in the province."
liaoning and shenyang regions gradually become a cradle of ice and snow sports talents
in order to better shoulder social responsibilities and popularize ice and snow sports, the national training team for snowboard halfpipes went to guangquan school in shenyang on the 19th and interacted with nearly a thousand teachers and students. li nina told the students about the inspiring deeds of chinese athletes who bravely fought and won glory for the country on the sports field, and explained the ice and snow sports. the national team doctor introduced the relevant knowledge on how to take protective measures before exercise, how to deal with acute injuries in time during the game, and how to do rehabilitation after the game.
on the training ground, gu ao, a liaoning athlete who participated in the beijing winter olympics, demonstrated movements for some students who like ice and snow sports. he said: "now, more and more students like ice and snow sports, and there will be winter sports stars among them in the future. we go to campus to further stimulate their enthusiasm for participation and sow the seeds of ice and snow sports in the hearts of young people."
as an outstanding ice and snow athlete trained in liaoning, li nina has high hopes for the training of ice and snow sports talents in her hometown. "after the beijing winter olympics, ice and snow sports have developed rapidly in china, and the number of people participating in ice and snow sports has increased rapidly. liaoning has unique natural advantages in developing ice and snow sports. in recent years, it has made great efforts in cultivating reserve talents for ice and snow sports. for example, for the snowboard halfpipe event, the liaoning provincial sports bureau and shenyang sports university have each formed a professional team. in many domestic ice and snow sports events, young athletes from liaoning are very competitive. i believe that with the momentum of hosting the 15th winter olympics, liaoning will become a cradle of ice and snow sports talents."
