(时文) On February 19, 2026, Chinese speed skater(速滑运动员) Ning Zhongyan won the men's 1,500m speed skating race at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympic Games.
Ning set a new Olympic record with a time of 1 minute 41.98 seconds. This is China's first Olympic gold medal in this event. Before this, Ning won two bronze medals(铜质奖章) at the Games, and this was one of his three medals in Milan.
The success did not come easily. At the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics, Ning took part in three events, but failed to win any medals. He felt deeply upset(沮丧的), and said it was like there was a huge mountain he could not get over.
But Ning never stopped believing in himself. He kept telling himself to stay patient, keep putting in the work, and believe that all the effort would pay off one day. To prepare for the Games, he spent more than a year away from home. This created space to focus. Ning said, "Now I know what I need to do every day. In the past, I just followed instructions(指令), and I didn't really understand why."
Ning said self-belief(自我信念) was the key to his success. His story tells us that as long as we hold on to our dreams, keep working hard and believe in ourselves, we can climb over every "mountain" in life and make our dreams come true.
