It is well known that in previous decades the main winners in the field of figure skating and artistic gymnastics were athletes from Russia and some Western European countries, but in recent years Chinese athletes have finally made a name for themselves. The gap between China and other countries in this field is due to a number of factors, such as the conditions of the venue, the low level of audience, the lack of experienced coaches, the lack of athletes' own artistic skills and other reasons.
Because of the climate in our country natural ice rink resources are not abundant, professional skating rinks are only a few, and ice rinks are expensive, so it is difficult to carry out this project leads to the audience rate is not high, so the domestic players are basically from the Northeast region in the first few years of the coaching resources are very scarce in our country, the athletes also need to go to Russia and some other ballet and Ice sports have a long history of countries to go out to learn, in these years only slowly shorten the distance.
Secondly, both figure skating and artistic gymnastics are not simply a competition for explosive speed sports, but also a great test of the athletes' understanding of dance and music and physical expression, need to be trained and learned from day to day from a young age. Skill training can be through the coach's guidance, but the physical expression of the athletes need to fully feel the life. Because of the management system of our athletes they have been closed training since childhood, life is more single in the expression of emotion is still a little lacking, but in the skills have been fast catching up with others.
In figure skating and artistic gymnastics on the competition is mainly single, pair of more individual competition. The volume is less individualized, not a collective project, so it has not been vigorously promoted, watching the masses less. In recent years, through the hard work of our athletes in major competitions to achieve outstanding results, greatly increasing the attention of the sport in the country. More and more people are beginning to appreciate this combination of power, speed, artistic beauty of the sport. Parents are also more willing to send their children to study, which lays a good foundation for our country to reserve figure skating and artistic gymnastics athletes. I believe that our athletes will be able to reduce the gap and achieve great results soon.
