1 1 When Wang Beixing's family moved to another city, her parents asked her to practice short track speed skating. Supposedly, it is easier to change from speed skating to short track speed skating. Unexpectedly, Wang Beixing is very stubborn. Every time she trains, she always likes to skate the outer ring alone. She is the last in almost every competition, but if the team sends her to participate in the speed skating competition, she will definitely come back with the first place. The coach suggested that Wang Beixing return to the speed skating team, and she returned to the key youth class in Qiqihar. "In fact, in retrospect, two years of short track speed skating training helped me a lot in cornering skills." Subsequently, Wang Beihang/Kloc-joined the provincial team at the age of 0/5, and 18 went to Canada to train with foreign teachers. Out of love for the project, Wang Beixing has been very firm all the way. Whenever the training is not smooth or the competition is not satisfactory, she will say in anger, "No more training!" " But only in angry words. In the next training class, she will definitely appear in the training ground in high spirits.

"I never leave myself a way back, not in the provincial team, not in Canada." Wang Beixing said.

In 1990s, speed skaters in China did not enjoy the treatment of toe cap, and skates were all size shoes. However, Wang Beixing's skates don't fit well, especially when wearing new shoes, his feet will always be "uncomfortable". "The Achilles tendon worn off by the meat can vaguely see the white fascia inside. But you can't stop training. Generally, you can use a band-aid to train on the ice. " It seems to be an understatement, but anyone can imagine the pain of Wang Beixing at that time. Every time I put on my skates, I feel terrible pain. Every time I slip, I will grin with pain. At this point, the tenacious Wang Beixing gritted his teeth until his heels were numb ... At that time, every time he came back from training, Wang Beixing always wiped off the blood left on the skates.

Even though she worked very hard, Wang Beixing was not the best player among her peers until after the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, when she had the opportunity to go to Canada. After Ye Qiaobo, China speed skating once fell into a trough, and only got 13 and 14 of Nagano Winter Olympics and Salt Lake Winter Olympics. In order to improve sports performance as soon as possible, the speed skating department of the Winter Sports Management Center of the State Sports General Administration sent a group of young players to Calgary, Canada. "From the first day I went to Canada, I told myself that I would always stay there." 18-year-old Wang Beihang told himself. Indeed, when his teammates traveled back and forth to Canada and China repeatedly, Wang Beihang chose to persist and built himself into a world-class athlete.

Life and training in Canada are not smooth, especially for athletes who are used to collective life. The meals at home are ready-made, the sanitation is also cleaned regularly, and the washing machine in the dormitory is extremely convenient. All this is common for China athletes, but it has become a luxury in Canada. Wang Beihang and his teammates rented a small apartment, and they had to do their own shopping, cooking, washing clothes and cleaning the room. "At that time, it was winter in Calgary. It's very, very cold and the road is covered with ice. Every day, we go far away by bike to buy food and rice, carry heavy things and often wrestle. " And cooking is the weakness of small players. After buying the materials and oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, Wang Beixing and his teammates can only learn a little according to the recipe, and slowly make the food delicious and ready to eat. "At first, everything was terrible, but after a few days, we can control the amount of seasoning." Wang Beixing proudly told reporters that she and her teammates gradually adapted to independent life and began to cook in pairs. On weekends, everyone collectively carries out a general cleaning; In the evening, everyone washes clothes and sheets by hand ... "Nothing, everything will be fine. I am good at cooking now. I am good at Chinese food and western food. I can show you something sometime. " Wang Beixing said with a smile. After a life pass, Wang Beixing has another language pass. Because of poor communication with foreign teachers, Wang Beixing studies foreign languages hard. The speed skating department arranged a foreign language teacher for the players, and Wang Beixing's foreign language advanced by leaps and bounds. In order to practice listening as soon as possible, she also insisted on watching cartoons. "The pronunciation of cartoons is very clear and accurate, which is very suitable for beginners like me." Wang Beihang can't help but impart experience to reporters.

With the English he learned from cartoons, Wang Beihang felt that there was not enough communication with foreign teachers. Therefore, with the help of the English dictionary, Wang Beihang first carefully studied his training plan, thought clearly about the problems he didn't understand, prepared the corresponding words, looked them up in the dictionary and recorded them, and then communicated with foreign teachers. Over time, Wang Beihang gradually passed the language barrier. Sometimes, she also teaches foreign teacher Kevin some Chinese. "Kevin can speak a lot of Chinese now, which is great! There is no problem in communication between us. "

In more than five years in Canada, what Wang Beihang felt most was homesickness. "I didn't feel it before I went out. Now I find that there is no place like home." Wang Beixing said that every time she returned to China, she would feel very cordial when the plane landed, whether in Beijing or in her hometown of Heilongjiang. "I landed at 4 o'clock this time. It was almost 6: 30 when the first body arrived, just in time for the traffic rush in Beijing, but I was stuck in the street. I also feel very kind and excited, and finally go home! "
