China savored a history-making moment in Para snowboard cross when its young Paralympic debutants made a podium sweep in the men's SB-UL in the Beijing Paralympic Winter Games on Monday.
In an all-Chinese big final, the four Paralympic debutants fought it out together. In the middle of the race, 17-year-old Zhang Yiqi, who was in third, lost his balance and fell, knocking down Zhu Yonggang who was close behind.
Ji Lijia then beat Wang Pengyao, 21, to clinch gold. Zhu, 19, took bronze.
滑到终点的纪立家将整个身体扑在雪地上很久,再站起身已是热泪盈眶。 这是19岁的纪立家刻苦训练6年的圆梦时刻。“像做梦一样,感觉之前经过的所有困难和挫折,在这一刻都值了,我们中国国家队残疾人运动员的目标就是为国争光!”纪立家激动地说。
Ji, who took up the sport in 2016, said, "I did not expect to get this gold medal. I am satisfied with what I did in the semifinal. And surprisingly, I saw us - four Chinese athletes in the big final. We were really happy. It still feels like a dream."
"Six years of effort finally paid off today. It is so great to win glory for my motherland, which takes great care of the disabled," he added.

纪立家说,没接触体育运动之前,他非常害羞。即便是夏天,他也要穿着长袖的衣服,不愿面对自己的残疾。接触体育运动之后,他认识了很多残疾人朋友,他也从黑暗中走了出来。他说,通过这次拿金牌,他会更好地做自己。
Ji said he became extremely shy after the loss of his left hand in an accident when he was a child. He used to wear long-sleeve clothing even in the summer to cover his disability.
"After taking up snowboarding, I started to see how confident Paralympic athletes of other countries were. Then I realized that I need to trust and love myself. Snowboarding has helped me step out of the darkness and find confidence again," he said.
中国残奥单板滑雪队是一支年轻的队伍,选拔、组队时间较短。改写历史,是中国残疾人体育事业整体发展的缩影,也离不开其中每一个人的努力与汗水。
2015年,朱永钢参加了田径项目训练,随着冬奥会与冬残奥会申办成功,他又入选高山滑雪集训队,并最终“落户”单板滑雪。最开始他摔了很多跟头,晚上甚至不能仰卧睡觉,直到调整前后脚后终于找到感觉。而纪立家则练到会在梦里梦到比赛的场景,然后在大汗淋漓中醒来。

“当我们4个人同时站在同一起点时,我们都在为彼此打气,骄傲是属于中国的!”王鹏耀说,不仅是在这次比赛,在日常的训练、生活中,我们也是互相帮助、互相成就的,也正是因为平时的互帮互助,我们才能一路走到北京冬残奥会,为祖国争取荣誉。
“由于我们残疾的部位不一样,平时训练和生活中,大家都会互相照顾。”王鹏耀举例说,比如雪板打蜡,有的队友只有一只手,而雪板打蜡是需要两只手来完成的,这时,就会有队友主动去帮助他完成这个工作,像这种互助小故事,其实每天都会发生。

Wang Pengyao believes the brotherly bond among the men's team will be even stronger after the Winter Paralympics.
"Our disabilities are different so we always help each other out to overcome difficulties together. When someone who only has one hand needs to wax his snowboard, we are all there to help. It's a natural thing," Wang said.
虽然年轻的张义琦未能站到领奖台上,但他却和另外3名中国选手一样,创造了新的历史。包括冠军纪立家在内的几位运动员在赛后接受采访时表示,站到冬残奥会的舞台上这本身就已经实现梦想了,而在顶住了各种困难和压力之后,中国残奥单板滑雪队创造了奇迹。
