“The realization of China’s goal of ‘driving 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports’ is the most important legacy given by the Beijing Winter Olympic Games to the global winter sports and Olympic Games. It can be said that it is the’ first gold medal ‘of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games.” On February 17, Tu Xiaodong, director of the Publicity Department of the State General Administration of sports, said at the press conference held by the 2022 Beijing Information Center.

In 2015, China won the right to host the 2022 Winter Olympics. With the progress of the preparations for the Winter Olympics and the continuous promotion and popularization of ice and snow sports in recent years, it has greatly driven the enthusiasm of the Chinese people to participate in ice and snow sports. According to the statistical survey report on “driving 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports” issued by the National Bureau of statistics, as of October 2021, the number of participants in ice and snow sports in China was 346 million, and the participation rate of residents reached 24.56%.

Ice and snow projects break through the traditional regional boundaries of “North ice”, and the momentum of “exhibition in the south, expansion in the West and eastward” is strong

100 days before the countdown to the Beijing Winter Olympics, the launching ceremony of the theme activity of Guangdong (Shenzhen) National Ice and snow season was held in Shenzhen, Guangdong. The site not only unveiled the national ice hockey training base, but also released a series of 20 theme activities in the 2021 Guangdong (Shenzhen) National Ice and snow season.

Among the theme activities, there are not only competitive competitions such as Guangdong Youth figure skating championships and urban ice hockey bullfights, but also educational and fun activities such as ice and snow campus tours, ice and snow carnivals and interesting Ice Games, which can meet the needs of people of different ages and drive more people’s enthusiasm to participate in ice and snow sports.

As the most populous province in China, the development of ice and snow sports in Guangdong came into being according to local conditions, meeting the diversified needs of the people for national fitness and happy life, and has become an important part of national fitness.

“Since Beijing’s successful bid for the Winter Olympics, Guangdong has actively responded to the National Ice and snow development strategy of ‘exhibition in the south, expansion in the West and eastward’.” Xu Jianping, then a member of the Party group and deputy director of the Guangdong Provincial Sports Bureau, said that in recent years, Guangdong has earnestly implemented the implementation outline for the construction of a strong sports Province, gradually formed a development pattern of government guidance, market leadership and social coordination, and strive to build Guangdong into a leading demonstration province for the “South Exhibition” of ice and snow sports.

“Ice and snow events have broken through the regional boundaries of the traditional ‘North ice’, and not only have provincial youth ice hockey and figure skating championships been held for three consecutive years, but ice hockey and figure skating have also become the official competition items of the next provincial games.” Xu Jianping introduced that Guangdong ice and snow sports have made great development. During the Winter Games in Inner Mongolia, Guangdong athlete Peng Junyue won two gold medals, realizing a historic breakthrough in competitive sports in Guangdong. In the list of the Chinese delegation to the Beijing Winter Olympics, 17 athletes from Guangdong were selected, including 16 women’s ice hockey and 1 man’s sled.

“We have established Guangdong ice and snow sports association to strengthen the construction of ice and snow sports organizations, actively promote the construction of ice and snow sports venues, and widely carry out large-scale ice and snow sports activities and competitions.” Xu Jianping said, “on the one hand, we take the people as the center and meet everyone’s needs. On the other hand, southern cities have the conditions for the development of ice and snow sports in indoor venues. The construction of ice and snow venues in Guangdong has been fruitful, and there are more than 20 ice rinks and snow rinks in the province.”

Looking around, by the beginning of last year, China had built 654 standard ice rinks and 803 indoor and outdoor ski resorts, and the pace of ice and snow sports infrastructure construction in some southern provinces has accelerated… China’s ice and snow sports are “expanding from south to west and from east to East”, and mass ice and snow sports are vigorously promoted and popularized in the north and south of the river and inside and outside the Great Wall.

It is worth mentioning that the venue of the national public ice and snow season has also been transferred from the north to the south, and from traditional ice and snow areas to non-traditional ice and snow areas. Since 2014, the national public ice and snow season has been held for 8 consecutive sessions, and the scope of activities in the ice and snow season has continued to expand, from only 10 provinces, autonomous regions and cities to 31 provinces, autonomous regions and cities.

Bidding for the Beijing Winter Olympics will drive 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports. An important purpose is to accelerate the popularization and improvement of ice and snow sports, promote the extensive development of national fitness, help the development of national sports and the construction of a sports power, and enhance the people’s sense of gain and happiness.

The foundation of sports power lies in mass sports, and sports policies quietly change life

Qiu Hui, physical education teacher of new world Experimental Primary School Affiliated to Shanghai Academy of drama. Qiu Hui felt that he had to pay more attention to the Chinese ski team during the Winter Olympics.

“In the past, our school’s sports development courses were ice hockey and queue skating, mostly during school. After the new simulated skiing course was added in September last year, we let more than 100 students in grade 3 experience this project and choose the best to form a school team. The children are very interested and are training continuously during the holiday.” Qiu Hui told reporters.

In 2014, in response to the national policy of “ice and snow entering the campus”, Qiu Hui, who was a part-time teaching and research member of primary school physical education of Pudong New Area Bureau of education at that time, participated in the promotion of the project and tried to introduce the ice and snow project in the north to the south in five primary schools, five kindergartens and one middle school, including the new world experimental primary school.

When the students glided on the ice with professional coaches, Qiu Hui’s “snow dream” changed from heart to reality. On the basis of expanding the curriculum, the new world experimental primary school has established two school teams, with girls performing team skating and boys training ice hockey. Qiu Hui is very proud that the school team has participated in the Asian Youth figure skating challenge and won the place. It is also the only team named after the school in Shanghai.

Eight years like a day, Qiu Hui’s persistence has enabled more than 2000 students to realize the “ice and snow dream”. “Ice and snow sports have added different sports experiences and ways to children in the south. Their performance in these projects is beneficial to their physical and mental development and promotes the integration of North and South cultures.” Qiu Hui said that watching the children summon up the courage to try to get on the ice from the beginning to gradually become “little masters” sliding freely on the ice, she was pleased with the growth of the children.

In 2019, the Ministry of education, together with the State General Administration of sports and other departments, issued the guidance on accelerating the promotion of national youth ice and snow sports on campus
