The Youth Group Pulley Competition of the Provincial Games ended recently at the Lanzhou Olympic Sports Center. Players from 8 cities and states competed in 9 events.

When first hearing about the roller skating project, many people will confuse it with the roller skating project. In fact, there are quite a few differences between the two projects. Gansu Province established a roller coaster team in 2019, and the establishment of this team laid the foundation for the subsequent establishment of our province's cross-country skiing team and biathlon team.

Zhou Jinping, director of the Gansu Provincial Winter Sports Management Center, told reporters: "The State Sports General Administration has proposed to 'drive 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports.' Winter sports are being carried out across the country. As the northwest, we also have potential advantages in carrying out winter sports, such as It takes a long time, and athletes have good cardiopulmonary function and physical fitness. However, although winter sports have been carried out in our province in recent years, a professional team has not yet been established. For this reason, a roller coaster team was established in 2019. A cross-country skiing team and a biathlon team were established. "

What does the development of winter sports have to do with the roller coaster? "The roller coaster event is very similar to cross-country skiing and biathlon. Ice and snow sports cannot have snow all year round. When there is no ice and snow, land sports are needed to replace training. Therefore, the development of the roller roller event can promote the development of our province. The development of ice and snow sports." Zhou Jinping said.

A project that has only been carried out for a few years can become an official project of the youth group of the Provincial Games. This is entirely due to the consideration of promoting the development of the project. Zhou Jinping said: "The inclusion of the pulley event in this Provincial Games is a land alternative project for ice and snow sports specially set up by the Provincial Sports Bureau based on project development. Its purpose is to better promote the development of the project and make it more accessible. More people know about winter sports. We also hope to find some outstanding athletes to participate in winter sports through the Provincial Games. "
