Despite all the difficulties,
Team China
displayed great prowess in the finals,
claiming the first gold for China!
When asked how he felt about the championship,
Wu Dajing choked with sobs.
“I have gone through a lot over the past four years.
Today, my dream has come true.
Thank our team for not giving up.
Thank my family for the encouragement and support.
Thank myself for never giving up.”
Since 2020, China’s national short track speed skating team
has received training
at the National Ice and Snow Sports Training and Research Base of BSU.
During the training process,
the Base provided all-round services
to fully support the ice and snow athletes
in ice rinks and fields, training and testing,
scientific research, rehabilitation and recovery
and nutritional guidance.
