Building a sports power is an important goal of building a modern socialist country in an all-round way. General secretary Xi Jinping, speaking to International Olympic Committee chairman Bach, said that when we bid for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games and Paralympic Games, the biggest goal of our bid for the Winter Olympics is to popularize the ice and snow campaign among the 300 million people and promote the leaping development of China's ice and snow sports.



In the capital gymnasium, general secretary Xi Jinping is very interested in the ice and snow sportswear and equipment displayed in the corridor. He inquired in detail about the uses, manufacturers and producing areas of these clothes and instruments. The staff introduced to the general secretary one by one, and happily reported to the general secretary that China's ice and snow sports clothing now has a high technical content, and many of them are independently developed by us. After listening to this, the general secretary repeatedly nodded his head and encouraged them to strengthen their independent research and development and produce ice and snow sports equipment with independent intellectual property rights as soon as possible.



In the exchange with the representatives of athletes and coaches of national figure skating team and short track speed skating team, the general secretary clearly pointed out that to improve the level of modern competitive sports, we should rely on both strength and skill. Athletes should have the ambition to win honor for their country and dare to achieve good results. They should practice in summer and winter, strengthen technological innovation, learn from foreign advanced concepts and technologies, and constantly improve the level of training and competition.



In the Yanqing national snowmobile sled center, Xi Jinping, general secretary, emphasized that ice and snow industry is a big industry and a sunrise industry. This is not only a sports problem, but also a research and development and manufacturing problem of sports equipment. It is an integral part of China's manufacturing industry. We should strengthen independent innovation and accelerate the development of China's sports equipment manufacturing industry.



At the national ski jumping center in Zhangjiakou, Xi Jinping watched the demonstration of athletes training with interest.



With the coach's command, the athletes, like eagles, soar from the precipice, fly in the blue sky and snow, and then fall steadily. The general secretary constantly praised their wonderful training.



The coach team told the general secretary that they can use the most advanced digital technology and artificial intelligence system to collect real-time data of athletes' take-off angle, air attitude, flight speed, flight distance, landing action and so on, and timely remind athletes to adjust. They also use wind tunnel technology to help athletes master and maintain air posture, improve training effect and efficiency. The general secretary encouraged them to continue their efforts to further improve the technical content of China's ice and snow sports.



In the two central bleachers of the national winter, Xi Jinping, general secretary, watched the relay training of two cross-country skiers and shooters in the winter. They visited the two national winter teams, the ski jumping athletes, coaches and representatives of the operation support team and builders of the Zhangjiakou area, and expressed their heartfelt condolences and heartfelt thanks to them. General secretary Xi Jinping said with deep feeling to you that in the past two days, I have seen three districts in Beijing, Yanqing and Zhangjiakou. I have been thinking about what kind of development path our sports should take. I understand that China's ice and snow sports, like our country's road to power, must also take the road of scientific and technological innovation. On the one hand, we must adhere to independent innovation; on the other hand, we must actively absorb the world's advanced technology and training methods, so as to improve the level of China's ice and snow sports training and competition as soon as possible, so as to provide technical support for the leap forward development of China's ice and snow sports.
