Su Yiming was born in Jilin province, which has produced a number of Chinese winter athletes.     1     his parents already fans of snowboarding, Su had his first try when he was three years old and quickly became hooked (着迷).

At seven, he obtained his first sponsorship deal and his extraordinary skill attracted the attention of film     2    (direct) to open up further opportunities.

In 2014, the film ‘The Taking of Tiger Mountain’ needed     3     young boy who could ski for several scenes. Su fitted the bill and he quickly became a child star appearing in several movies.

When Beijing was awarded right     4    (host) the 2022 Olympic Winter Games in 2015, Su decided to     5    (temporary) put his acting career on hold. At the time he published a post on his Weibo account saying: “    6     determines our life is not our ability, but our choice.”

In 2018, he     7    (select) for the Chinese Snowboard slopestyle and Big Air team and improved further under the     8    (instruct) of famous Japanese coach Sato Yasuhiro.

As the pioneer of the new generation of Chinese snowboarding, Su holds multiple    9    (nation) records and even achieved a world first in 2021.

At the Beijing Winter Olympics, Su Yiming made history by winning men’s snowboard slopestyle silver. Three days before     10    (turn) 18, Su received his first Olympic gold medal in the men’s snowboard big air final.

Lang Ping announced on Wednesday that she has stepped down as head coach of China’s national women’s volleyball team.

    1    (know) as the “Iron Hammer” during her playing career, Lang Ping is one of the most     2    (influence) figures in the world. She took over the Chinese women’s team for the second time in 2013.     3    Lang’s guidance, China won Olympic gold in Rio 2016, as well as 2015 and 2019 World Cup titles. But China failed     4    (progress) through the group stage at last month’s 2020 Olympic Games after losing against Turkey, the United States and Russia.

Since 2013, the 60-year-old legendary coach     5    (lead) China to win the Rio Olympics gold, two World Cup championships, one World Championships silver and one bronze. Lang emphasized her    6     (enthusiastic) for volleyball, but said it is not possible for her to coach the Chinese team forever. For Lang, Tokyo may see    7     end of her Olympic story, but for her team, it begins a journey     8     Paris 2024, which    9    (expect) to be a new high in their careers.

“    10     happened in Tokyo is a precious experience for those young players. I told them don’t forget this. They need to remember the failure and find out how to recover when they encounter difficulties in the next Olympics.”

With Eileen Gu     1     (win) the gold medal in the women’s freestyle skiing big air competition at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games, one of the     2     (factor) that has drawn     3    (globe) attention is her education. Apart from skiing, the 18-year -old athlete has a successful career in modeling and     4     (gain) admission to Stanford in December, 2021.

Now, many parents in China owe Eileen Gu’s success     5     her mom. But parents trying to turn their children into another Eileen Gu may be disappointed to find the cut-and-paste function does not work in real life. We should acknowledge that economic status plays     6     important role in a person’s development. Sports take a lot    7     (much) than a pen and some paper. Young athletes take private lessons, buy equipment, and pay entry fees to compete in tournaments. All add up and become costly. Yet all of these are nothing     8     (compare) with skiing. Eileen was fortunate to have all the stars in the direction of her success. For many Chinese parents,     9     they often fail to realize is that financial, academic and social resources     10     (need) to ensure their children achieve success.

On December 26, at the 2021 All-Japan Figure Skating Championship, Yuzuru Hanyu won the championship with a total score of 322. 36. The Japan Figure Skating Association had previously stated that the winner of the 2021 championship     1     (quality) for the 2022 Winter Olympics directly. With this victory, Hanyu thus secured his ticket to Beijing. This was the first time that he     2     (appear) in a competition after an injury had forced him to withdraw from the World Figure Skating Team Championships in April of last year.

As a two-time Olympic figure skating gold medalist, the 27-year-old is no longer considered young for an athlete of his status,     3     he has nonetheless been working hard to live up to the measure of his own goals.     4     (return) from injury, he showed us again why he was considered to be one of the greatest men’s skaters in the history of the sport.

During the competition, Hanyu’s first attempt at performance a 4A jump -- the most difficult jump in figure skating -saw both of his feet     5     (hit) the ice. Despite some small mistakes in his performance, it was the brief moment of weakness     6     (show) in his landing leg that might have finally contributed to his failure to land the jump successfully. In a post-competition interview, Hanyu said it was his long-time goal to successfully execute a 4A jump and that he had done his best to do so this time around.     7     he was unable to perfectly land his 4A jump, this was indeed the first 4A jump in the sport’s history     8     (attempt) in a figure skating competition.

Hanyu said after the competition that he had felt a lot like     9     (cry) before his warm-up session. As he put it, “I don’t know how many more times I can continue to see this kind of scene. All the hard work I’ve done up to this point and all the different memories I’ve accumulated, suddenly overwhelmed me.” Nothing can embody (体现) the Olympic spirit more than a figure skating veteran (老将) still striving to achieve his dreams regardless of a career that has already established him     10     nothing short of a legend in his sport.

When skater Wu Dajing crossed the finish line and was waiting for the final result, Wang slapped the table and roared: “My eyes are     7     rulers. I’m sure China has won!”

During the race, Wang, from Northeast China’s Heilongjiang Province,     8    (bare) sat down. She jumped up and down, waved her arms and cheered for the Chinese team. Her comment quickly became a catchphrase on Chinese social media,     9    (help) the 37-year-old attract even more fans.

She encouraged each team member and called them by their nicknames,     10     led to her receiving countless thumbs-ups and laughs on Migu.
