In winter training this year, the Chinese sailing team is no longer "closed door", but has increased many competitions to increase the experience of its members. On December 17, haikou station of the Chinese sailing league became the last large-scale competition during the winter training of the sailing team in China. This competition can also be said to be a big test of the winter training results.

The players were no strangers to the playing field. Every winter, haikou will have relatively continuous and stable windy weather, which is very suitable for improving the technical and tactical ability of windy days. During the national team's winter training in haikou, the wind force was above 12 knots most of the time. However, the league unexpectedly started on a windy day, which caught the players by surprise, and they all felt that the wind was too small, so it was difficult to meet the requirements of testing the winter training results. Fortunately, after the league began, the wind gradually increased to the 12th quarter, which made everyone feel "better".

Zhang xiaodong, President of the China sailing association, said that setting up a high-level league at home can increase more competition opportunities and practical experience for players. And the difference between league and team competition is more formal, but also set bonuses, and the international formal competition is no different, athletes will be easier to find the feeling of the game, into the game state.

Four-time World Cup sailing champion zhang dongshuang, who led the women's laser-redier class with A steady first-round finish, said such A race would help her A lot: "I had A plan A and A plan B in my mind throughout the race. Today's wind conditions are much more stable than yesterday's, which further tests the accuracy of the operation. There are a lot of young players who are moving very fast. Everyone is improving and the gap is narrowing. I noticed that hainan team no. 2 (fan zhengyuan) was playing steadily and fearfully. I think the league can be a test of the effectiveness of winter training and I think I'm doing well at the moment.

Although it was a training session, the team members still fought fiercely and gave full play to their best level. After four rounds of competitions, gao mengfan, li tao, Chen hao, bi kun and ye bing, who are currently among the top five players in the men's windsurfing team, have all won gold. The women's 470 class race was very close, with only a two point difference between the top three.

Different from the team matches and league matches during the previous winter training, this competition specially invited international arbitration and foreign players to participate in order to better test the players' winter training results. "The level of competition of Chinese athletes, the top players are very fast and obviously very high," said arbitration chairman Jane. "During the winter training, we have the opportunity to have players from all over China compete with the best players so that they can advance or improve. And zhang xiaodong also expresses, the join of two international arbitration, make the competition standard of final contest upgrades, athletes experience the competition environment that is in line with the world, also have a lot of profit to future competition so.

Not only are there foreign referees, but also foreign athletes have joined the competition. Lee tae-hoon, 32, one of five south koreans competing in men's windsurfing as a wild-card competitor for the south Korean national team, which is training in hainan for the winter, has competed in three Olympics and is the country's no. 1 windsurfer. "I was very lucky to get the chance to compete," lee said. Having a competition like this during the winter training can help us get a better promotion. From this day's competition, we can see that Chinese windsurfers are young and strong. It is a very good experience to compete with them, and we have also improved.
