The China Cup Short Track Speed Skating Elite League is a high-level, high-confrontation, high-intensity short track speed skating event organized to discover reserve talents preparing for the 2022 BJ Winter Olympics and promote more provinces and cities across the country to participate in ice and snow sports.
It is expected to be held for four consecutive years until the opening of the BJ Winter Olympics.
This news has spread and immediately caused an uproar in the short track speed skating community. All members of the national team, including the main players of the first team, participated, and all coaches of the national team watched the game on site.
All the young players were so excited!
Many young members of the provincial team have begun to fantasize about defeating the main players of the national team in the elite league, becoming famous in one battle, being selected for the national team, and then reaching the pinnacle of life.
In the national team, especially the fringe players in the second team and the first team, they are not so optimistic. They are well aware of the horror of the main players in the first team, and their goals are more realistic.
The first stop of the Elite League in Changchun. Due to the participation of the main first-line players, this battle is the most competitive. For them, as long as they reach the finals, they will win, and the better they can get cards!
The real opportunity starts from the second stop! When the main players of the first team go to participate in the World Cup, that’s when they will take the lead!
This elite league is divided into youth group and adult group. In addition to athletes selected for the national team, athletes under the age of 16 must participate in the youth group. Only players who won medals in the youth group in the previous station can follow in the next station.
Players in the adult category compete together.
14-year-old Zhang Tianyi has been waiting for an opportunity. In the National Short Track Speed Skating Championship held last year, Zhang Tianyi won the third place in the men's 1500-meter junior group. In August, he was selected for the Chinese National Short Track Speed Skating Team.
Because his experience is very similar to Li Yuang's, many people in the team joke that he is "Li Yuang's second".
Judging from Li Yuang's experience in the national team, Zhang Tianyi should be promoted to the first team this year. From the first day of summer training in Yunnan, he was always ready and waiting for the first team selection. But it was not until the end of the summer training that he returned to BJ
At the base, the trials are still not underway.
He urgently needs a chance, a chance to prove himself!
In Zhang Tianyi's view, this elite league is his best opportunity!
…
15-year-old Zhang Chutong faces the same problem as Zhang Tianyi. In the National Short Track Speed Skating Championship held last year, Zhang Chutong won the runner-up in the women's 1,000-meter junior group. In August, he was selected for the Chinese short track speed skating team.
Her daring and hard-working style in training has been unanimously praised by the coaching staff, who believe that she is a rare female all-around player. She has been listed as a key training target in the women's BJ cycle.
She wants to fight abroad and win glory for her country! So, in this elite league, she will fight to the end.
…
The China Cup Short Track Speed Skating Elite League kicked off in Changchun on October 11. The quarter-finals and semi-finals in the first two days made the young players from the provincial team deeply aware of the gap between themselves and the national team.
On October 13th, the Elite League Changchun Station comes to the last two competition days. Gold medals for all events will be produced within these two days. Yangma will also broadcast the finals of these two days live.
Changchun Olympic Sports.
"Brother Da Jing, you must go all out in this game. It will be embarrassing if you lose to me in this first game!" Li Yuang, who was undergoing adaptive training on the ice rink, said to Wu Da Jing with a smile.
This time at the Changchun Station of the Elite League, the organizers deliberately divided Li Yuang and Wuhan University into two unqualified half areas during the grouping. Whether it was 500 meters or 1,000 meters, the two would only meet in the finals.
Wu Dajing laughed and cursed: "You brat, I haven't retired yet, but you are so arrogant. Just wait and eat my exhaust behind me."
"Yu Song, we seem to be ignored..."
"Haidong, although I don't want to admit it, I think you are right."
On the ice rink, Wu Dajing and Li Yuang's eyes were filled with only each other!
Before the game, the coach of the Jilin team wanted to arrange skating protection for Wu Dajing, but Wu Dajing refused. Wu Dajing knew that this game was a one-on-one solo between him and Li Yuang. Even if they arranged skating protection, they would not be able to keep up with him.
Li Yuang’s speed!
Li Yuang wants to challenge the main event of Wu Da Jing. If he wants to become a legend, he must first surpass the legend!
No matter what others think, in Li Yuang's eyes, Wu Dajing is the legend of China's short track speed skating. In his main event of 500 meters, his ability has surpassed all his predecessors!
…
"CCTV, CCTV, this is the Changchun Station of the China Cup Short Track Speed Skating Elite League. I am your old friend Liu Xingyu, and next to me is Niu Yinhao, the guest commentator for this game."
"Hello everyone, I am Niu Yinhao."
The program planned by Niu Yinhao has been approved, and the station has communicated well with the Winter Training Center. From the beginning of the summer training, Yang Ma has sent three cameramen to follow the team.
Chen Tai was still very optimistic about him. Knowing that his work focus was shifting towards winter sports, he sent him to commentate on this elite league together with Liu Xingyu.
"The finals of the 500 meters and 1,000 meters will be held this morning, and the mixed relay final will be held in the afternoon."
"Yes, the national short-track speed skating team can be said to have made its main effort. We saw that the four athletes who will participate in the 500-meter final have already taken to the ice for adaptation training."
"Although the four players on the field are wearing the uniforms of their respective provincial teams, in fact all four of them are national team players."
"Yes, this shows that there is still a gap between our provincial team members and the national team members."
"The athletes on the field are very relaxed. The four of them are all teammates of the national team and are very familiar with each other. It is more like a team training match with different uniforms than a game. Li Yuang is still in the mood to follow
Chat with Wu Dajing."
"I think it's more like a challenge..."
When Liu Xingyu heard this, he deliberately provoked the topic and said: "Yin Hao means that Li Yuang has the strength to challenge Wu Dajing in the 500-meter event?"
"Yes, I think Li Yuang is world-class in all three events, but Wu Dajing is super world-class in the 500-meter event." Niu Yinhao thought for a while and continued, "Just like the ancient swordsman, Li Yuang is already the strongest.
One of the swordsmen, but Wu Dajing is the best swordsman in the world! Li Yuang knew he was losing, but he still showed his sword resolutely! Even if he fell, he was proud of his defeat!"
"Second Battalion Commander, where is my Italian cannon? Fortunately, I have watched "Bright Sword" and I was almost confused by these words of yours."
Liu Xingyu and his lover Niu Yinhao sang and talked together. The warm-up ended soon, and as the referee blew the whistle, all four of them came to the starting line.
Now is the player introduction session, with the camera showing each player.
"Okay, the person greeting us now is Yi Dao Wu Da Jing, Winter Sports Management Center of Jilin Provincial Sports Bureau. The audience at Jilin team's home game also gave warm applause. Er Dao Li Yuang, HLJ Winter Sports Management Center; Third
Dao Jia Haidong, Jilin Provincial Sports Bureau Winter Sports Management Center; Sidao Yusong, Qingdao Sports Bureau representative team."
"Although the four are all national team athletes, this time they represent their respective provincial teams!"
"Yes, some viewers may wonder why Wu Dajing represents the Jilin team even though he is from HLJJMS. This is because Wu Dajing is related to the Jilin Provincial Sports Bureau. Just like Yu Song, he is from Jilin but represents Qingdao.
The same as the team, because his relationship fell to the Qingdao Sports Bureau."
On the rostrum, the national team coaching staff also looked at the four people in front of the starting line. They knew that Wu Da Jing could not be surpassed, but they also wanted to know, Li Yuang, this person is likely to be the short-term athlete in the next three Olympic Games.
How far can the core of the speed skating team achieve now!
All will be revealed.
