"I want to say to all Chinese snowboarders that they should keep working hard and never give up10dreams can come true."

What is the most important thing in a big competition? At the 2022 Winter Games, some Olympians gave us their answers. When the Japanese figure skater（花样滑冰运动员）Yuzuru Hanyu（羽生结弦）1to Beijing, he hoped to become the world's first man to complete a "4 Axel". This had been his dream2he was a kid. The "4 Axel" jump3the hardest move in figure skating, it4also bring danger to skaters even in practice.

The big day came on February 10. Twenty seconds into his free skate, Hanyu almost completed his "4 Axel" jump.5, when his right foot touched down, he was off-balance and fell on the ice. He got a score of 188.06, then points short of the podium（领奖台）. Although it was a6result, he still showed up with a smile, "I have nothing left7," he said to him, the most important thing in the competition was to try to give8performance he could.

Compared to his younger self, Jin had become more confident and more strong-minded. To Jin,12over himself to become a better skater was the most important thing in the competition.

Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the International Olympic Committee（国际奥委会）, famously said, "The important thing in life is not to win but to complete." Life itself at times feels like13competition. You may not always be the winner, but as long as you14in an effort to overcome15, you are sure to be a medalist.

On Feb. 24th, Su Yiming was very happy! The 18-year-old snowboarder (滑雪板选手) received a special letter from President Xi Jinping.

In the letter, President Xi congratulated (祝贺) Su and the other athletes (运动员) at the Beijing Winter Olympics. "We are living in a time for young people to realize (实现) their dreams." Xi said in the letter. He hopes that young Chinese people always keep the motherland in their hearts, aim high (志存高远), and stay grounded.

After winning his gold medal, Su understood that he should thank his strong motherland. "I want to write a letter to President Xi," Su told People's Daily. "I really want to thank him from the bottom of my heart."

In 2019, Xi met with athletes and coaches in Beijing. Su was one of the athletes. Xi told them to aim high. Su was excited by Xi's words. "I decided to believe in myself and I must give it all to make my dream come true." Su said.

How did it feel to receive a letter from Xi? "I couldn't believe it at first," Su told People's Daily. "This has encouraged me to work even harder in the future."

But that he often told stories to his daughters is one of the reasons why he wrote his own book. The book is about a youth basketball team and has five stories, with each focusing on the story of one character(主角). Rain, Twig, Cash, Peno and Lab. All of the young kids on the team come from a poor neighborhood. No one thinks they can succeed. But things change after a new coach(教练) joins the team.

During Bryant's life, he won many honors and he was the king of NBA. He had two different numbers on his sports shirts: 8 and 24 during his career(职业生涯). The number 24 means you need to work hard 24 hours a day to succeed. He was such a great player, as well as a very funny man.
