jumping skateboard, flying snow mist, the snow full of laughter bumper car…… Ice and Snow Sports let the winter plateau release the same enthusiasm as fire.
Cao Jinjun, a ski lover who lives in Xining, is practicing on the primary snow road with his 7-year-old son in the Qinghai Qiong international ski resort. The heavy ski equipment made the child a little difficult to walk. He fell down without paying attention to it, but he was still very happy. Pat the snow on your body, hold up skiing crutch, and continue to learn it in a good way.
After several snowfalls, the weather in Qinghai is getting colder. People in the plateau did not choose “cat” in the heating room as in the past, but walked out of the House and experienced the passion and happiness of sports in the skating rink and ski resort.
Cao Jinjun, 37, told reporters that although he loved outdoor sports, he only had two years of contact with skiing. “I have known skiing for a long time and want to try it, but there are few ski resorts in Qinghai and there is a lack of ski coaches.” Cao Jinjun said that in the winter before, many outdoor sports could not be carried out. He could only “rest” and the ice and snow sports were “out of reach”.
“One year, I wanted to go to Xinjiang to experience skiing, but considering the distance and high cost, I gave up.” Cao Jinjun said that Qinghai people had a unique “ice and snow”, but they did not fully appreciate the charm of ice and snow in their early years. Skating on the lake in the park in winter was already the greatest pleasure.
In recent years, Qinghai actively responded to the call of 0.3 billion people to participate in ice and snow sports, continuously improved ice and snow sports venues, cultivated ice and snow sports instructors, and held colorful ice and snow sports activities, let “cold resources” become “hot industry” and greatly enrich the winter life of local people.
Now, Qinghai has built more than a dozen ski resorts and opened cold water jug pavilions. More and more people have the opportunity to get in touch with ice and snow sports. Ma Jicheng, the manager of Qinghai’s international ski resort, told the reporter that since its opening this winter, nearly 800 people came to experience skiing every day. After improving infrastructure, upgrading snow roads and adding snow projects, the elderly and children can also experience the fun of “playing Snow.
Yi zangcai, director of Qinghai Sports Bureau, said: “Qinghai grasps the golden growth period of the development of ‘Winter Olympics ‘ice and snow sports, and works together from four levels: competitive sports, national fitness, ice and snow industry, and brand events, fully release the huge space and potential of ice and snow sports, and achieve a win-win situation of economic and social benefits.”
The reporter learned from the Qinghai provincial sports bureau that Qinghai will hold many sports activities in the near future, such as the third International Cold water jug elite competition and the ninth Yellow River extreme challenge elite competition, so that more people can participate in ice and snow sports, meet diversified fitness needs in “fresh” sports.
