Yan Han, Li Jun, yu Xiaoyu and other famous generals who did not enter the current national team list were selected.
The General Office of the State General Administration of Sports recently issued a notice on organizing the training camp of the national training team of Pang Qingjian figure skating (hereinafter referred to as the “Notice”). According to the notice, the Chinese Olympic Committee hired Pang Qing and Luo Jian as head coaches to organize the training camp of the national training team of Pang Qing. The first and second training camps will be held from September 10 to October 14 at the Pang Qing Jian ice art center.
In the list of trained athletes selected this time, there are 22 male and female players in total, and 8 players in total for ice dance and double skating. The former men’s singles “first brother” Yan Han, the women’s singles “first sister” Li Jun and the partners with Zhang Hao participated in the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics. Among them, Xiaoyu was selected as a female singles player.
According to people familiar with the matter, the leaders of the State Sports General Administration attached great importance to the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and carried out the layout of top-level design. The efforts of Pang Qing and Yan Jian in the marketization development of figure skating were recognized by the leaders of the General Administration, so this training camp was placed in the clubs of Pang Qing and Jian.
According to the person familiar with the matter, the athletes selected this time are all athletes of the age group who meet the requirements for the 2022 competition. The goal of the training camp is to prepare for the 2022 Winter Olympics. The athletes and coaches selected for this training list are not included in the current national team and national youth team list.
“This list also takes into account that many athletes are in a confused stage to see if they can be given a second chance to provide them with such a possibility. Some of them may have physical injuries and strain, while some are temporarily at a low psychological level. It will be a pity to change jobs now. One of the characteristics of this training camp is to implement the recruitment system, hoping to provide another opportunity for those athletes who really have their own dreams for the 2022 Winter Olympics.”
It is reported that in addition to Chinese coaches such as Pang Qing and Ji Jian, the training team also hired foreign teachers from the United States and Canada. The training team will provide athletes with top teachers at home and abroad, training venues at home and abroad and competition plans. Like athletes in the system, athletes participating in the training team will also receive training subsidies. The most important point is that if these athletes are good enough to pass unified tests and evaluations, they will have the opportunity to participate in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
The insider said that Pang Qing and Ji Jian had been engaged in figure skating for more than 30 years and participated in 16 World Championships and 4 Olympic Games. They hope to give back the accumulated experience to figure skating. Whether in the national team or the national training team outside the current system, they all want to do something for Chinese figure skating.
