I don’t even play golf! Trump just issued the latest threat on Twitter!

  Later on the 26th local time, US President Trump issued the latest threat, and tweeted that he had signed an executive order to protect American monuments, memorials and statues, and warned those demonstrators who destroyed it that they would face "long-term imprisonment".

  Trump wrote on Twitter: "I just had the privilege of signing a very powerful executive order to protect American monuments, memorials and statues and crack down on recent violent crimes. Sentence long-term imprisonment to those illegal acts against our great country! "

  Before this tweet, Trump posted an FBI wanted order earlier, which was related to protesters destroying the statue of President andrew jackson in lafayette Park on the 22nd. Trump wrote, "Many people have been detained, and many others are wanted for destroying federal property in lafayette Park. Ten years in prison! "

  After the wanted tweet, Trump then tweeted that he would spend this weekend in Washington to ensure that the "laws and orders" were enforced. He said, "I had planned to go to Bedminster, New Jersey, this weekend, but I wanted to stay in Washington, D.C. to ensure that the laws and orders were enforced. Arsonists, anarchists, robbers and instigators have been basically stopped … … I am doing everything necessary to protect the safety of our community and those people will be brought to justice! "

  The Hill reported that as the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in New Jersey and other states continued to rise, which triggered new concerns about public health and economy in the United States, New Jersey, New York and Connecticut had previously announced that tourists from Arizona would be required to be quarantined for two weeks. When asked if Trump’s cancellation of the trip was related to the new restrictions in New Jersey, White House spokesman Judd Deere said that it had nothing to do with it.

China golfer Feng Shanshan announced his retirement.

  Golf Grand Slam champion and former No.1 Feng Shanshan announced his official retirement on his personal social media platform on the 2nd. 

This is a video of Feng Shanshan’s career review. Provided by Feng Shanshan brokerage team.

  "In recent years, the epidemic has changed a lot of things and made me think a lot. In the past years, I spent most of my time floating outside, always on the journey. Now I can stop for a while, concentrate more on my personal improvement and spend more time with my parents. In the past few decades, golf has brought me a lot, and since then I hope to do more for golf. " Feng Shanshan said in a letter to fans.

This is Feng Shanshan’s letter to fans published on his personal social media account.

  Feng Shanshan was born in Guangzhou on August 5th, 1989. In 2007, she passed the qualification examination and obtained the membership of the American Women’s Professional Golf Tour (LPGA). She is the first LPGA all-in-one player in Chinese mainland. In 2012, Feng Shanshan won the LPGA Championship, which was the first time that a registered player of China Golf Association won four Grand Slam titles.

  During his 15-year career, Feng Shanshan won 22 titles, including 10 LPGA titles, in international competitions such as USA Tour, Europe Tour and Japan Tour. Feng Shanshan ranked first in the world in November 2017, and has been the "queen of the ball" for 23 weeks. In the Olympic Games, Feng Shanshan once played as the captain of the national team in the Rio Olympic Games and the Tokyo Olympic Games, and won a bronze medal in Rio and the eighth place in Tokyo.

On June 10th, 2012, Feng Shanshan wore the national flag and took a photo with the trophy. On the same day, she won the LPGA championship in Pittsburgh, USA. Xinhua news agency

  It is the most memorable moment of Feng Shanshan’s career that he won the first place in the world at the Blue Bay Masters. "It is very coincidental that the goal I set for myself that year was to hit the world first. In 2017, I played well all season. The Blue Bay Master won the championship in Japan one week before the competition and reached the second place in the world. Back in the Blue Bay, many players, family members, teams and friends came up to splash water to celebrate the final putt into the hole. It is incredible for me to complete my goal at the end of the season and stand in the first place in the world. " Feng Shanshan said.

On November 11th, 2017, Feng Shanshan won the ninth LPGA champion in her career at the Blue Bay Masters in Lingshui, Hainan, thus rising to the first place in the professional golf women’s world ranking. Xinhua news agency

  Looking back on his whole career, Feng Shanshan is proud of himself. "In the past, I usually gave this year a score of 85 points or more than 90 points, leaving some space for myself, because golf is such a sport that needs to constantly surpass itself and constantly pursue to become a better self. But when I first started playing, my goal was only to get into LPGA. I have come all the way to the present after constantly completing and refreshing my goals. So I am very proud of my whole career, and now I will give myself 100 points. "

This is Feng Shanshan who won the bronze medal in the women’s golf competition at the Rio Olympic Games. Xinhua News Agency reporter Liu Dawei photo

  At present, Feng Shanshan has officially served as the head coach of the women’s team of China National Training Team. She said that she would combine her international experience with the situation of golf in China, and gradually sort out a training system that is most suitable for China players. "Now, as the head coach of the national women’s training team preparing for the Hangzhou Asian Games, I will arrange the training time with the national team to help the players get closer to their respective goals. I hope that more outstanding domestic players can go abroad, and more world No.1 and Olympic medal winners and even gold medals from China will appear. "

  Feng Shanshan also said that she will continue to do a good job in youth training and golf popularization, hoping that the "legion effect" of China players can also be formed in the future professional arena.

Chongli Ski Tour, the first fully operated snow season after Beijing Winter Olympics, is even more popular.

On December 16th, tourists skied at Taiwu Ski Resort. Hebei Daily correspondent Li Dengyun photo
Since November 8, the curtain of the 2023-2024 snow season in Chongli District of Zhangjiakou City has been gradually opened, and major snow fields have been opened one after another, quickly welcoming the peak of passenger flow.
Multiple snow fields record high passenger flow.
"We opened the board on November 11, and more than 8,000 people came that day, setting a new high for the daily passenger flow since the opening in 2015." Ren Xiaoqiang, brand development manager of Chongli Taiwu Ski Resort, told the reporter that the average daily passenger flow in this snow season exceeded 7,000, and the average daily non-weekend passenger flow exceeded 4,000, exceeding the same period in 2019.
The Wanlong Ski Resort, which opened on November 8, received about 110,000 skiers in the first month of the new snow season, setting a new high in the 21 years since its opening. On November 25th, Genting Ski Resort received more than 6,600 skiers, setting a new record for single-day tourists since its opening in 2012. On December 8, the Galaxy Ski Resort in Cuiyun Mountain received nearly 4,500 skiers, which exceeded the highest single-day passenger flow during the Spring Festival this year.
"Before this snow season, we have predicted that there will be a peak passenger flow." Ding Chibing, general manager of Chongli Cuiyunshan International Tourism Resort Operation Center, believes that as the first fully operated snow season after the Beijing Winter Olympics, it is not unexpected that there will be a peak passenger flow this snow season.
In addition, this snow season, the railway department increased the weekend capacity of trains from Beijing to Chongli, and Zhangjiakou Ningyuan Airport also increased flights. "Ningyuan Airport has opened a number of flights to and from southern cities in recent years, bringing many southern tourists." Sun Yan, manager of the brand marketing center of Chongli Fulong Holding Group, said.
The increase of ski tourists has further boosted Chongli’s tourism consumption. In this snow season, the occupancy rate of rooms in most snow resorts in Chongli is high, and the restaurants in snow resorts are also crowded at every meal. According to statistics, in December this year, the booking volume of hotels around Chongli Snow Resort increased by about 8 times compared with the same period in 2019.
"Our accommodation and catering income has increased significantly this snow season." Ren Xiaoqiang said that Taiwu Ski Resort has more than 2,500 beds in seven hotels, with an occupancy rate of about 60% during non-weekend hours and over 90% at weekends.
According to the data from Chongli District Culture, Radio, Film and Television Bureau and Tourism Bureau, as of December 18th, Chongli District has received 1,078,400 tourists this snow season, achieving a comprehensive tourism income of 1.233 billion yuan, of which the "big head" is in major snow fields.
Products are new and services are upgraded.
"Today, I played ice drift and took a snowmobile. It was so exciting. My mother took a lot of photos for me. " At 3 o’clock in the afternoon on December 18th, Xiao Ding, a 13-year-old tourist from Beijing at Chongli Cuiyun Mountain Yinhe Ski Resort, said.
Last week, the Yinhe Ski Resort in Cuiyunshan, Chongli opened a snow amusement park, which attracted many teenagers. This snow amusement park, covering an area of about 60,000 square meters, is built on the Star Lake in Cuiyun Mountain. At present, there are more than 30 ice and snow entertainment projects, such as Happy Snow Castle, Ice Slide, Ice Drift, Speed Karting, Snowmobile, etc., and games such as parent-child interaction and dream treasure hunt have been added.
This snow season, while improving the quality of software and hardware, Chongli major snow resorts have made great efforts in new formats and new ways of playing to attract tourists with "skiing+".
Mushroom trail, snow-rubbing rotary trail, U-shaped trough in the valley, large wave trail, chasing trail, ice-like trail … This snow season, the ski trails in Fulong Ski Resort are richer in types, more interesting and challenging, attracting many skiers who like challenges to "punch in". Taiwu Ski Resort has added four wild trails this snow season. Wanlong Ski Resort has replaced all the guideboards with new ones, and added guideboards for primary roads and intermediate roads, which is convenient for new tourists. The Yinhe Ski Resort in Cuiyun Mountain has introduced "snowboarding" from Norway, which combines snowshoes with small skis, attracting many skiers who pursue individuality.
More food and beverage shops appear in the major snow fields of Chongli, which further facilitates skiers and promotes consumption. Among them, Taiwu Ski Resort has added more than 10 restaurants such as Luckin Coffee and Spanish restaurants, bringing the total number of restaurants to 46; In the Four Seasons Hall and Fengling Legu Commercial Street, Fulong Ski Resort has added a number of catering shops, such as Mo yogurt, Pingquan mutton soup, Laotongguan Chinese hamburger and Sean Mala Tang. Wanlong Ski Resort has introduced catering brands such as Haagen-Dazs and Wuchao Pizza.
The major snow resorts in Chongli have also launched preferential activities this snow season. Dolemeidi Ski Resort has launched low-priced coach tickets for "Xiaobai" customers in 380 yuan, Taiwu Ski Resort has launched the Peak Four Seasons Card, which can ski and ride indefinitely all year round, and Cuiyun Mountain Yinhe Ski Resort has launched the special ticket of "299 yuan double skating+double meals", which has sold more than 10,000 tickets.
Experts predict that it will usher in a larger passenger flow peak.
What will be the next trend of Chongli ski tourism this snow season?
"This snow season, the domestic ski tourism market generally ushered in a peak passenger flow. It is expected that the number of ski tourists in Chongli will increase by about 35% or even more than in the previous fully operated snow season." Zhang Guihai, dean of Heilongjiang Ice and Snow Industry Research Institute and professor of Harbin Institute of Physical Education, told reporters.
Wang Xueli, director of Tsinghua University Sports Industry Development Research Center, is also optimistic about the skiing tourism market in Chongli this snow season. "In this snow season, I think Chongli should be able to reap the consumption dividend brought by the increase in skiing population." She said, "What’s more, New Year’s Day, winter vacation and Spring Festival have not yet arrived, and that is the real’ golden period’ of the ski resort."
Both experts believe that the winter Olympic bonus will continue to be released. Chongli, as the venue of most snow events in Beijing Winter Olympics, will still be an important tourist destination for potential skiers in China, especially those with winter Olympics complex.
Consumption transformation is another factor that the two experts are optimistic about the Chongli ski tourism market this snow season. Wang Xueli said that at present, more and more people are keen on experiential consumption, and sports consumption, including skiing tourism, is developing rapidly, which has injected endogenous power into the continued popularity of snow resorts.
Zhang Guihai believes that Chongli has hosted international competitions such as the World Cup this year, and there will be many domestic professional events and mass events, which will become a powerful thrust for Chongli’s ski tourism market. The direct flight between Zhangjiakou and Shanghai, which opened on December 17th, will also drive more Shanghai skiers to punch in the "City of Winter Olympics".
According to the reporter’s understanding, at present, all major snow resorts in Chongli have made plans for the peak passenger flow this snow season, preparing to open more snow trails and develop more formats. This week, Taiwu Ski Resort will open the Taiwu Lapland Snow Fairy Tale Park with an area of about 40,000 square meters, which will enrich the format and divert passengers. At the end of this month, Cuiyunshan Yinhe Ski Resort will open all the snow trails and go to Beijing for key publicity … (Hebei Daily reporter Wang Weihong)

Beginners become enthusiasts. What is the charm of skiing?

Once, I was trapped in Syracuse in winter; Today, the ice and snow is the Jinshan Yinshan.
This is Chongli-known as "the most ideal natural skiing area in North China", and many snow competitions of Beijing Winter Olympics are being held here.
The change of worshipping ceremony in small towns reflects the leaping development of ice and snow sports in China, and it is also a true portrayal of the welfare of the people in the Winter Olympics.
Many skiers who have been skiing for many years will have the same feeling: in recent years, more and more people like skiing.
Of course, this is not an illusion. Judging from the national statistics and the number of skiers received by various ski resorts, the number of skiers in China has indeed ushered in a blowout in the years when the Beijing Winter Olympics is approaching.
Why do people in China love skiing more and more? In an interview with reporters, industry analysts gave many reasons:
With the combination of better skiing facilities and convenience, the fun of skiing itself, and more and more fashionable and cultural attributes of skiing in social communication, skiing has become the next hot topic of sports.
Young people who love skiing.
The number of skiers has soared.
Many friends who are unfamiliar with skiing may have noticed in recent years that more and more people are exposed to skiing in the "circle of friends".
Statistically, it is true. Especially after the successful bid for the Beijing Winter Olympics in 2015, the skiing population has ushered in a wave of blowout.
According to the White Paper on Ski Industry in China in 2020 released in July, 2021, in the snow season of 2020-2021 (from May 1, 2020 to April 30, 2021), the number of skiers in China reached 20.76 million, a record high.
In the snow season of 2019-2020, because of the epidemic, the number of skiers dropped to 10.45 million, but it immediately rebounded and hit a new high.
According to historical data, the number of skiers in the snow season of 2007-2008 was close to 5 million, and it reached 10 million in the snow season of 2013-2014, an increase of 5 million in six years.
However, in the 2018-2019 snow season, the number of domestic skiers soared to 20.6 million. Compared with the 2013-2014 snow season, the increase in just five years exceeded 10 million.
In an interview with reporters, Li Yongtai, executive vice president of Zhangjiakou Chongli Taiwu Ski Town, revealed that since Taiwu Ski Town opened in 2015, "the passenger flow of skiing is basically increasing by 30% per year". If it were not for the impact of the epidemic, the overall increase could have been even greater.
Zhang Litao, general manager of Fulong Cultural Tourism Co., Ltd. also told reporters that Chongli Fulong Ski Resort was put into operation in 2016. "In the first year, the number of people we received was about 80,000, and this snow season, so far, we have received about 170,000 people two months before the start of the snow season."
Try skiing, it is more convenient and comfortable.
Why can skiing attract so many new enthusiasts? In the eyes of the industry, many people just haven’t had the chance to get in touch with skiing before.
Nowadays, with the increase of domestic ski facilities and convenience, there is almost no threshold for trying skiing, which naturally allows more people to enter the world.
According to statistics, as of 2020, the total number of ski resorts open to the outside world in China is 715. Although it is lower than the historical peak of 770 in the previous year because of the epidemic, it still has a huge increase of 165% compared with 270 in 2010.This means that it is getting easier and easier to find a place to ski.
After choosing the ski destination, the process of reaching the ski resort has become more and more convenient.
Chongli, Zhangjiakou, which was selected as one of the competition areas of Beijing Winter Olympics, is naturally one of the biggest beneficiaries. With the arrival of the Winter Olympics, high-speed rail lines connecting Beijing were opened here and new expressways were built. As Zhang Litao said: "It takes only 40 to 50 minutes to get from Beijing by high-speed train, which is very convenient, and there are also two stations, Prince City Station and Chongli North Station."
"There are also two expressways. If you drive, it only takes more than two hours from the Sixth Ring Road in Beijing, and the traffic arrival problem is solved. This is very good for the Chongli market."
Of course, not only in Chongli, but also in other domestic ski resorts such as Northeast China or Xinjiang, the traffic conditions for service skiing are becoming more and more convenient. In addition, all ski resorts are striving to upgrade their hardware facilities and service quality. For skiers, this is naturally the best time.
Mr. Zhang, who runs a ski shop in Chongli and is also a skier, has personally experienced the better and better changes in the ski resort:"At the earliest snow resort, the guests were pulled to the mountain by car and then slid down. Later, there were electric tow fibers, magic carpets, and later cable cars."
"At first, the cable car was non-enclosed and the speed was relatively slow. When the weather was cold, people would freeze up and sit around. Later, there was a closed high-speed cable car, and the facilities were getting better and better." He told reporters.
After contact skiing, it is too easy to "fall"
Better and more convenient conditions have undoubtedly greatly increased the "contact surface" of skiing for the general public, but there are naturally reasons why many people can really be "captured" by skiing.
In the opinion of ski instructors,The excitement and happiness that skiing itself can bring really makes people want to stop.
Shi Wei, who studied skiing at Chongli local school and became a senior coach at the Mountain Sports Institute of Four Seasons Town in Fulong after graduation, told reporters that skiing is definitely an exciting sport.
"Especially after the speed up, that kind of feeling is too cool, so it will make people linger. Moreover, skiers are more open-minded, lively and easy to get along with, and they will know more friends (through skiing) and get along more comfortably. "
Cui Yajie, president of Mountain Sports College in Four Seasons Town, Fulong, also said, "Even in the primary road, you can see many enthusiasts show their skills and’ fly everywhere’. Many people began to learn slowly in recent years because of the development of the ski market in recent years. After one or two years, two or three years, the level has made great progress. "
While many beginners have become enthusiasts, more and more beginners have come to experience it. As Cui Yajie said, "Groups such as family vacations and travel vacations will come to experience it, and the overall group (skiing) is getting bigger."
"People who love skiing will want to ski more and more, and then they will drive people around them to ski, which is also a feature of skiing."
Outside of sports, skiing has become a fashion culture.
Indeed, as Cui Yajie said, many skiers were actually "pulled" into the world of skiing by people around them, or learned about skiing from friends around them, thus becoming interested.
Compared with a sport, with the continuous promotion and spread of domestic ice and snow culture, skiing has already possessed more cultural attributes, and this trend has naturally attracted the attention of many people in the skiing industry.
Skiing is a sport with strong social attributes.Many people will interact with each other when they see someone in their circle of friends skiing in winter, which is a boost to skiing. Cui Yajie told reporters.
"Now skiing is not just a sport, it has become a part of some people’s lives. Some people may work five days a week, and then they will make an appointment with friends to ski and chat and get together on weekends. Especially for young people today, this is very attractive. "
Zhang Litao also believes that after the spread of social media, the social image of skiing is very dynamic, so it is more attractive: "Nowadays, there are many young people skiing, because skiing is a very fashionable thing, and many people are also dressed very cool. It is both a sport and a communication space. "
Not only in the snow field, fans can show their skills, but also many people are willing to show their personalities through the media platform: "Now skiing has gone beyond the sport itself, and it is really no longer the same as before."
Previously, Zhang Litao from Jilin was a professional platform skier. In his memory, when he was an athlete, the concept of skiing was far from being popularized.
"At that time, it was very closed, and everyone didn’t understand what skiing was all about. In the 1980s, many locals in Northeast China had no concept of skiing."
"In the past, many ordinary people were not exposed to skiing, but now everyone knows about skiing, which is related to the affluence of our lives, the increase of income and the progress of society."
North ice spreads south, east expands and west advances.
Undeniably, in the process of skiing becoming more and more popular, the hosting of the Beijing Winter Olympics is a great stimulus.
"For example, if it was said that ice and snow entered the campus before, it was very difficult. Because of the safety issues involved, now they are actively doing these things. The school and the ski resort are connected to let the children snow in winter. This is a social and ideological change." Zhang Litao said.
It is understood that in addition to the popularity of teenagers, some local governments will also give real money subsidies to skiers, so that the latter can ski at a more affordable price.
In addition, the popularity of skiing has also brought a most direct result, that is, skiing, which was originally the "main battlefield" in the north, has attracted a large number of fans from the south through years of publicity and promotion.
In Li Yongtai’s view, skiing is naturally attractive to southerners: "Tourism itself is curious and different. Northerners go to the south and southerners go to the north, and they all want to see something novel and different."
Nowadays, skiing is becoming more and more convenient, which greatly reduces the threshold for southerners to "try early". At the same time, the domestic ski resort is equipped with rich supporting facilities, which is more attractive to beginners.
"Many children who go to school abroad even feel better when they come back to ski than abroad, because foreign ski resorts have different ideas from ours. Some of them don’t have so many service facilities, and they even have to change clothes in the car, or they don’t have equipment to rent, and they don’t have rich catering. Domestic snow resorts have built many surrounding facilities to protect them. "
Coupled with the popularity of indoor ski resorts in the south today, it has sent the opportunity to experience to the doorstep of southerners.
"There are many indoor ski resorts in the south, which is precisely the primary stage of ski resorts, and it is also very easy to guide passengers." Li Yongtai said.
Zhang Litao also thinks: "The appearance of the (southern) summer ski resort has brought great help, because the summer ski resort, no matter how big it is, is also a primary ski resort. When these people practice almost in the resort, they will definitely want to’ fly themselves’ to feel the snow in nature and go to the big ski resort to’ shine’."
"Indoor ski resorts have trained a large number of basic skiers, which has played a decisive role in promoting the southern ski market."
With the promotion of hardware facilities, the popularization of skiing in the society and the spread of skiers to the whole country … With the stimulation and boost of the Beijing Winter Olympics, skiing has ushered in a golden age of development.
"The development of every industry needs big events to stimulate, and the successful bid for the Beijing Winter Olympics is such a condition." Zhang Litao said, "Supporting facilities, reception capacity, venue facilities, including commercial formats and ecological environment … The core elements of prosperity in the post-Winter Olympics era have been formed. After the Beijing Winter Olympics, people will definitely enjoy the fruits of the Winter Olympics. We are full of expectations for the post-Winter Olympics era." (Reporter Pu Yilei)

Ski jumping-a brave game without a world record

  The platform skiing competition of Beijing Winter Olympics was held in the National Platform Skiing Center from February 5 to 14, and produced five gold medals, involving men’s individual platform, men’s individual platform, men’s team, women’s individual platform and newly added mixed groups. The National Ski-jumping Center is the first ski-jumping venue in China that meets international standards. Its architectural inspiration comes from the traditional auspicious ornament "Ruyi" in China, so it is also called "Snow Ruyi".

  Platform skiing originated in Norway, and it is called "Brave Game", which is a kind of snow sports event with double boards as tools to compete for flying distance and action posture. Since the first Winter Olympics in 1924, ski jumping has been an official event. At the Innsbruck Winter Olympics in 1964, ski jumping was clearly divided into standard platform and big platform, but it was not until the Sochi Winter Olympics in 2014 that female athletes were allowed to participate in the standard platform competition.

  Unlike racing sports, which like "downwind", platform skiers prefer "headwind". In the case of headwind, the airflow will "lift" the athlete’s body, thus delaying the descent speed and increasing the flight distance. From the traditional jumping with straight body or slightly bent legs at first, to the modern jumping with the trunk leaning forward and arms extending forward, and now to the V-shaped gliding with the body as parallel as possible to the snowboard and the arms attached to the side, coupled with the improvement of equipment performance supported by new technology, platform skiers can constantly challenge the limit and surpass themselves.

  It should be pointed out that due to the differences in natural conditions such as temperature, wind speed, wind direction and visibility, as well as the differences in different ramp angles and the elevation angle of the take-off end, the ski jumping events can only judge the best results according to the athletes’ competitive conditions under the specific weather and venue conditions on the day of the competition, and cannot be compared horizontally with the results at other times or other venues, so there is no world record. Judging from the flying distance, the best result of ski jumping has exceeded 250 meters.

  Ski jumping started late in China. In the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, the China sports delegation sent a team to participate in ski jumping for the first time. In PyeongChang Winter Olympics in 2018, Chang Xinyue became the first female platform skier from China to break into the Winter Olympics. In this Winter Olympics, China successfully achieved the simultaneous participation of men’s and women’s events. Although there is still a gap in absolute strength compared with the high-level athletes of this project, as the inspirational film Eddie the Eagle said: "The important thing in the Olympic Games is not only victory, but also participation; The meaning of life lies not in triumph, but in struggle. " Maybe it’s hard for China platform skiers to win medals in this Winter Olympics, but the brave jump on "Good Snow" is bound to be a memorable moment in the history of China’s snow project in the Winter Olympics.
