As I remember, I joined a roller skating club and fell in love with the feeling of gliding on wheels when I was in kindergarten. In the fourth grade， I began to challenge myself with speed skating, and I was very satisfied by the rush of wind and speed. It is quite common for young athletes to encounter setbacks and failures along their journey. Training and competition strengthened my resilience, improved my self-confidence, and allowed me to continually push my limits. An opportunity to participate in an inline shooting competition led me into the world of biathlon. I hope to broaden my horizons and cultivate a global perspective through various sports.

As the name in Chinese suggests, I am enthusiastic and sunny. I like sports very much. I was in the physical education class in elementary school. I started to play in-line skating at the age of four. I have been practicing and growing up without interruption. I am currently a national ice hockey player. By chance, I was invited by Coach Yang to try cross-country. Skiing and cross-country skiing have been discovered in several competitions as a whole-body sport. There is a lot of room for learning, which makes me feel very interested. In addition, fixed-point shooting is suitable for both movement and static. I need to have balance, concentration, and be more athletic. It is challenging, and athletes all have the dream of being national athletes. I also hope to make further progress in the future, become a biathlete, improve myself, and become a successful athlete.

 I’ve had a strong interest in sports since I was little. From kindergarten to the second grade of elementary school, I practiced inline skating and became quite familiar with basic gliding. In the third grade, my PE teacher encouraged me to join the track and field team, and I continued to receive systematic training all the way through sixth grade, building up my endurance and physical strength.

Later, through my family, I was introduced to the sport of biathlon. At first, I was simply curious and wanted to give it a try, but I gradually discovered that I truly enjoyed it. I began learning the skills and training seriously, and found a brand new challenge to pursue.

Currently, I’m steadily working toward my goal of becoming an excellent biathlete. I hope that in the future, I can perform well in both domestic and international competitions, and grow into a strong athlete with both physical endurance and mental resilience.
