Chapter 262 Preparing for the Winter Olympics

With the gradual popularization and development of ice and snow sports such as skiing, skiing, skating, and ice hockey in European and American countries, as well as the establishment and development of various sports associations, Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games, proposed to hold the Winter Olympic Games separately.

It was delayed by the success of Nordic combined in Scandinavia, Europe in 1901.

In 1908, figure skating was added to the 4th Summer Olympics, and in 1920, ice hockey was added to the 7th Summer Olympics.

But weather conditions have made it difficult for organizers, and although both events have been moved forward in April, most competitions and the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games will not be held until mid-August.This makes one Olympic Games take as long as 4 months, which consumes too much manpower and material resources.

In view of this, people tend to separate the ice and snow events from the Olympic Games, and hold the Olympic Games for ice and snow events alone.

In 1924, the city of Chamonix in France hosted what was then called the "Winter Sports Week". Two years later, the International Olympic Committee officially renamed it the 1st Winter Olympic Games.

The Winter Olympics were initially stipulated to be held every four years, in the same year and in the same country as the Summer Olympics.Beginning with the 4nd Winter Olympics in 1928, the Winter Olympics and the Summer Olympics were held in different countries.

1994年起，冬奥会与夏奥会以2年为间隔交叉举行。为冬奥会与夏奥会时间错开，故只有1992年冬奥会与1994年冬奥会相隔2年。

In 1980, the No.13 Winter Olympic Games was held in Lake Placid, USA. The Chinese Olympic Committee participated in the Winter Olympic Games for the first time after the legal seat of the International Olympic Committee was restored in 1979. A total of 28 male and female athletes were sent. Participated in 18 individual events of skating, skiing, and modern biathlon.

The results proved that there was a big gap between my country's first-time contestants and the world's advanced level, and no one entered the top six.

In the No.1984 Sarajevo Winter Olympics in 14, the Chinese delegation sent a total of 37 athletes to participate in 26 individual events. The result was to broaden their horizons and train the team.

In the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, Canada, China only sent a delegation of 20 people to participate in the three competitions of speed skating, figure skating and cross-country skiing.

Li Yan won the gold medal in the 1000m and the bronze medals in the 500m and 1500m in the women's sprint speed skating exhibition competition at the Winter Olympics.

The 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, France No.16 was the last Winter Olympics to be held in the same year as the Summer Olympics.

After 12 years of hard work, Chinese players finally achieved a "zero breakthrough" in medals and won three silver medals.

Especially the female contestant Ye Qiaobo, who played with injuries and fought tenaciously in the competition, won two silver medals in the 500-meter and 1000-meter speed skating.

In 1994, the Lillehammer Winter Olympics in Norway were held again after a two-year gap.

The Chinese delegation selected 27 athletes (19 female players) to participate in the competitions of speed skating, short track speed skating, figure skating, biathlon and freestyle skiing.

In the competition, Chinese athletes basically showed their level. Three female players won medals: Zhang Yanmei won the silver medal in the 3-meter short track speed skating, Ye Qiaobo won the bronze medal in the 500-meter speed skating, and Chen Lu won the bronze medal in the women's figure skating singles.The Chinese team finally ranked 1000th in the medal standings with one silver and two bronzes.

This result, of course, is not good, after all, there is not even a gold medal.

But understandable.

Short development time, lack of experience, backward training technology and hardware facilities...

"Now, we have hope to compete for the gold medal, but it is still not safe. I hope you can help." Wu Shaozhu said.

Gao Shen thought for a moment and asked, "What are the events for this Winter Olympics?"

Wu Shaozhu was clearly prepared, he took out a document from his briefcase and handed it over.

Speed ​​skating, short track speed skating, ice hockey, figure skating, modern biathlon, alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, freestyle skiing, snowboarding, curling, ski jumping, Nordic combined, bobsleigh and bobsleigh There are 14 minor items in 68 major items.

Wu Shaozhu not only brought an introduction to each event, but also included a specific competition schedule.

At the end is the list of events and players that are expected to hit gold medals or medals.

Yang Yang in the women's short track speed skating 500m/1000m, Yang Yang/Yang Yang/Wang Chunlu/Sun Dandan in the women's short track speed skating 3000m relay, Li Jiajun in the men's 1000m short track speed skating, An Yulong in the men's 500m short track speed skating , Li Jiajun/An Yulong/Yuan Ye/Feng Kai in the men's 5000-meter relay in short track speed skating, and Gao Sheng in the modern biathlon.

Judging from a series of competitions, Chen Lu in figure skating also has a chance to win a medal, but for the subjective scoring events, with the current strength of Chinese sports, the points are likely to be suppressed in nine out of ten.

Xu Nannan, who has the same worry, also has freestyle skiing aerial skills. Although freestyle skiing has a relatively clear scoring standard, it is only relatively clear and there is still a lot of room for manipulation.

Sometimes, a few tenths less, just miss the medal.

If the name is not mentioned, naturally there is no chance.

Participating in too many competitions, it is sure to count whether they can win prizes. With other players fouling all the way to make up for the existence of the champion, after so many years, it is just Stephen Bradbury, who is small and transparent.

Besides, Gaoshen is powerless to improve some athletes.

Glory is not allowed.

Although Gao Jinxing received the [-] million Glory Points brought to him by the World Martial King, more than half of them were replaced with coaching materials and sent back to school.

With less than [-] million left, it is definitely enough to strengthen the athletes, but there are still some strengthened coaches left.

The Gaoshen plan has strengthened the eleven athletes on the list. If there are really good seedlings, then five more will come.

No matter how much, it really won't work.

Gao Shen put down the document and asked, "Where are they now?"

"The training on ice is in China, and the training on snow is in Sweden. There are complete facilities, advanced concepts, and more experienced coaches." After Wu Shaozhu finished speaking, he looked at Gao Shen eagerly.

The subtext is obvious: Great God, let's do it!
Although the influence of the Winter Olympics in China is not very good, it is still very influential internationally. Naturally, the more gold medals, the better.

The most important thing is that the intervention of high gods can greatly promote the development of domestic winter sports.

The so-called people without foresight must have near-term worries. The right to host the Summer Olympics has already begun. Will the Winter Olympics be far behind?

Instead of starting to work hard when the situation is imminent, it is better to do it now, at least not to switch to short-track speed skating from [-]-meter sprints.

After thinking for a long time, Gao Shen said, "I'm going to watch snow sports, let's choose a few to play."

"That's a good relationship!" Wu Shaozhu clapped his hands and laughed loudly, and said, "It just so happens that you brothers can get together."

Gao Shen asked in surprise: "Our brother? Doesn't this Gao Sheng have the same name?"

Uh~ Wu Shaozhu choked for a moment, and asked back: "It's your brother, didn't your family tell you?"
