China News Agency, Beijing, April 3 (reporter Hao Lingyu) the national short track speed skating championship ended in Beijing on the 2nd. Zhang Jing, the head coach who just led the Chinese short track speed skating team to complete the 2022-2023 international competition, attended the game. For the performance of the Chinese short track speed skating team this season, she gave her own comments: “The athletes dare to fight and fight and the Vietnam War is more brave. The mental outlook is very commendable.”
The Chinese short track speed skating team is in the new and old alternate period, and most of the old players are in the adjustment stage. Zhang Jing frankly said that the task of young players this season is mainly to exercise. They know the situation of their opponents through international competitions. At first, they did not expect much in terms of gold medals and medals, but the young players gradually adapted to the rhythm of international competitions, it is gratifying to play your own level in the confrontation.
There are not enough international competitions, and it is difficult to occupy the dominant track in the competition without enough points, which is a difficult problem for young players in Zhang Jing’s heart. “But they played very well. For example, in the next few stops after the World Cup, our players could basically take the second place in the 500-meter competition, and Lin Xiaoxiao could already get the first one.” Zhang Jing said that compared with international high-level opponents, young players have no advantage in strength and have experienced a very difficult start, but they don’t have too many concerns, dare to fight and fight, and Vietnam War is more brave.
In the six races of the FIFA World Cup this season, the Chinese short track speed skating team gained 4 gold, 3 silver and 3 bronze in total, among them, 3 gold, 2 silver and 2 copper were won in the last two World Cups.
Zhang Jing believes that young players this season can not only get exercise in the competition, but also see their subtle changes in the usual training. For example, at the beginning, some young players were relatively passive in training, often in a state of waiting for instructions, lacking self-management and self-leading consciousness and ability, while international high-level players had individual plans, you will not only receive guidance passively. Through the guidance of the coaching staff, the young players have made obvious progress. They know what to do without giving too much to them. “This is the most comforting thing for us.”
The transformation of some young athletes begins with learning from top players. Zhang Jing said that as young players actively learn and adjust themselves, the coaching staff often no longer need to make specific requirements, young players have learned how to take their training seriously and actively reject the temptation of the outside world.
For the future training direction of Chinese short track speed skating team, Zhang Jing believes that speed, endurance and confrontation ability are the key points for improvement. In addition, in terms of psychology, young players need to accumulate experience through confrontation with international masters. “How to make the state more stable, no matter how to fight, will not lose, young players may need a longer time to exercise this ability.” (Finished)
