Standing at the starting point of the Olympia della Tofana Alpine Skiing Center in Cortina Tofana, looking down, dizziness is common - at an altitude of over 2000 meters, with a total length of 2560 meters and a vertical drop of 750 meters, there is a 64 degree "downhill straight" at the beginning. This track, which has hosted two Winter Olympics and multiple international competitions, is known for its extremely high technical difficulty. Looking around, in the canyon, there is a road with stones beside it. Standing there, the first feeling is like jumping off a cliff. ”Chinese Paralympic alpine skier Guo Jiaxin said. It was on this steep track that Chinese athletes stepped up and conquered the steep and rugged terrain with courage, overlooking the majestic mountains of Dolomiti. The first time I went on this track, I was startled. The snow slope is steep and has many flying points, making it very bumpy to slide. I have never encountered it before. ”Chinese Paralympic alpine skier Zhu Wenjing said. Conquering unfamiliar mountains has been done many times in Zhu Wenjing's career, but this time it is even more difficult and challenging. The fear dissipated, and was replaced by a desire to try. Zhu Wenjing has achieved it. On March 10th, she won the bronze medal in the women's all-around (standing) alpine skiing event at the Milan Cortina Winter Paralympic Games with a time of 2 minutes and 10.69 seconds. For the first time in her life, she stood on the Paralympic podium. Zhu Wenjing said that it was alpine skiing that changed her personality, transforming her from a timid girl to fearless and enjoying speed and passion. Take the cable car for 30 minutes to get up and 2 minutes to slide down. Standing on such a high mountain, I was scared at first, but as soon as I took the first step, the only thing left when I slid was excitement! "Zhu Wenjing smiled. In fact, Zhu Wenjing conquered more than just fear. Just 4 days ago, Zhu Wenjing accidentally fell and fractured her palm during training. Faced with a sudden accident, Zhu Wenjing believed that "the ship will naturally straighten out at the bridgehead": "The team doctor said it could be compared, but it's a bit painful. Then I'll let go!" With focus, selflessness, and a strong push forward, Zhu Wenjing spread her hands and feet in the game. When I slid, I completely forgot about the pain and fear, and brought out my usual training level. This bronze medal is the best reward for my years of accumulation, "said Zhu Wenjing. On the same day as Zhu Wenjing, her teammate Liu Sitong, a Chinese Paralympic alpine skier, also stepped onto the podium. Following winning the bronze medal in the women's super giant slalom (sitting posture) at the Paralympic Alpine Skiing the day before, she also won another bronze medal in the women's all-around (sitting posture) competition at the Paralympic Alpine Skiing. Having been involved in ice and snow sports for 10 years, Liu Sitong has witnessed the gradual growth of the Chinese Paralympic alpine skiing team. In Pyeongchang in 2018, as the first Chinese athlete to participate in the alpine skiing competition of the Winter Paralympic Games, she stepped onto the track alone. At the 2022 Beijing Winter Paralympic Games, she has 21 teammates fighting side by side. Now, Liu Sitong and her teammates are once again standing at the top of the mountain, charging for medals. Today, the snow trail is unusually bumpy with many potholes and the snow is in the shape of ice and sand. ”Liu Sitong said that, coupled with pre match injuries, her performance during the game was not perfect. Anyway, I hope to enjoy the joy brought by ice and snow, and also hope to showcase the indomitable spirit of Chinese Paralympic athletes. "In Liu Sitong's view, standing at the starting point is winning; If you complete the slide completely, you win; To withstand pressure and perform steadily is to win; Not giving up is winning. Standing on the mountaintop, gazing at the mountains, many things become insignificant. ”Liu Sitong said that every time she climbs a high mountain, she sees a different scenery. The moment I bent down and rushed down, I felt very free. The highest mountain in the world is never under my feet, but in everyone's heart. Conquering it only requires a moment of bending forward. When Chinese Paralympic alpine skiers ride the wind down from the mountaintop, the meaning of life is elevated - even in the face of difficulties, they still choose to climb high, which is the most touching posture of a hero.
