Why does short track speed skating in China often create miracles? Can you elaborate on it?

Ice sports have a long history in China. There is a record of "ice play" in the history books of Song Dynasty. After the Yuan Dynasty, military dramas became more popular. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, royal skating performances and folk skating performances were very popular. The unique geographical location and climatic conditions make the people in Northeast China love the ice and snow sports culture. The number of professional ice rinks in the three northeastern provinces accounts for about 20% of the country. In addition, there are various natural skating rinks, which have laid a deep mass foundation. It has also prompted the people in Northeast China to constantly break through the limits of ice and snow sports and become the "porters" of the short track speed skating gold medal.

2. Policy preference

Compared with freestyle skiing, speed skating and other winter events, short track speed skating has the characteristics of more gold medals, easy access and high mass base. In addition, the requirements of short track speed skating on body, coordination and team consciousness are very beneficial to the choice of Asian countries. To sum up, this has also been given priority support by relevant national resources, which has also contributed to the outbreak of short track speed skating projects.

3. The power of example

From Yang Yang to Wang Meng, Zhou Yang, and then to Wu Dajing, each generation of China short track speed skating leaders has distinct personality characteristics, which inspires future generations to constantly surpass themselves. The power of example is infinite. The two-way achievements of generations of short track speed skating champions and short track speed skating teams have made China's short track speed skating team the king of winter events. China quickly seized the development opportunity of the project, identified short track speed skating as the key breakthrough project of China's ice and snow sports, and set up a national training team on 1993, which laid the foundation for the rapid development of the project. This also means that the country has vigorously promoted ice and snow sports, continuously trained professional talents, athletes' innate advantages and acquired efforts, so that "talented" athletes have emerged frequently in the past decade, and China's short track speed skating has created another miracle.

4. China's players are very skilled.

Technically, the gap between China and South China widened at that time, and the skating skills of Korean skaters were very traditional, relying on strength. South Korea has created a brand-new short track technology, which is relatively less dependent on strength and can still maintain a high speed in the second half of the long-distance race.
