On February 16, in the men's aerial skill competition of freestyle skiing in Beijing Winter Olympics, Qi Guangpu, a player of China team, took out a 5.0-difficulty action for the first time in this Winter Olympics, scoring 129.00 with excellent performance and winning the gold medal!

Take off-teenagers also have time to "run"

"When I was a child, I was very naughty and belonged to the kind of idleness. At home, I was sent to a sports school for exercise. " It is quite accidental for Qi Guangpu to talk about the origin of his career. From practicing kungfu at the age of 4 to trampoline at the age of 8, he gradually showed his outstanding talent, and 10 was selected for the Changchun freestyle skiing aerial skill team.

From his hometown of Xuzhou, Jiangsu, to the freezing northeast, Qi Guangpu, who was full of ambition, underestimated the reality. "I am no stranger to somersaults. As long as you learn to ski, you can quickly master aerial skills. " He recalled that during the first aerial training, due to lack of control, he only completed half a lap and plunged into the snow.

Besides the difficulty of technical training, repeated physical training is also consuming his enthusiasm. After joining the team for two years, Qi Guangpu suddenly felt that he had lost the motivation to move forward. The boredom of training and the loneliness of leaving home made him have the idea of "running": "I don't want to train, go home!"

At that time, Qi Guangpu didn't say hello to the team and went to the railway station to buy tickets alone. Seeing this, the conductor refused the child's "willfulness" request. "At that time, I thought of another way to buy a platform ticket and get on the bus." He recalled that while wandering around the ticket window, a familiar figure appeared-Yin Gang, coach of Changchun freestyle skiing aerial skill team.

Qi Guangpu, who was "discovered", was a little timid. But Yin Gang didn't criticize him, but took him to Jiaozi and sent him back to the dormitory. Qi Guangpu recalled: "The next day, the coach and teammates came to enlighten me, and I realized my mistake. Since then, I have made up my mind to carry on this project and live up to the expectations of the coach and my family. "

Turning —— Regret of the Third Winter Olympics

Freedom, excitement and freedom-Qi Guangpu used three key words to describe the turning and flying movements of aerial skills. With this feeling, he has grown from a hot-blooded teenager to a trump card for the China team.

In 2008, the fledgling Qi Guangpu won the gold medal in the 1 1 National Winter Games. After that, he joined the national team and entered the international arena. Since then, he has "flown" into the Winter Olympics for three consecutive years.

20 10 Vancouver, 20-year-old Qi Guangpu first came into close contact with the Winter Olympics. The seventh place, for him, is "a breakthrough in the world and a spur." After returning from Vancouver, he put the difficulty of improving his skills on the agenda.

In the following three years, the increasingly mature Qi Guangpu won the World Cup championship, the World Cup championship and the world championship in succession. Among them, at the 20 13 World Championships, he showed the "sky sport" with a difficulty coefficient as high as 5.0, and won the championship with a high score of 138, becoming the first player in the world to complete this difficulty.

"This is a backward somersault for three times, with a twist of 1800 degrees." Qi Guangpu introduced that the difficulty lies in the connection after weekly rotation and the control of smooth landing. The aerial part is very good at completing 8 laps in a few seconds, which requires strong body control, spatial judgment and the ability to accelerate rotation.
