日前，有关冬奥冠军武大靖出任中国短道速滑队主教练的消息，在国内体坛引起不小轰动。    Akshay Kumar shared a touching tribute on social media as his niece, Simar Bhatia, steps into the world of films with Ikkis. In his wholesome note, he talked about watching her grow from a shy little girl into a confident young woman ready to face the camera.            Akshay shared her poster from Ikkis and wrote, “Holding you as a tiny baby to now watching you step into the world of films… life really has come full circle. Simar, I’ve seen you turn from a shy little girl who would hide behind her mom into this confident young woman ready to face the camera like she was born for it.”                                                                  View this post on Instagram          A post shared by Akshay Kumar (@akshaykumar)               He offered words of encouragement for the journey ahead, saying, “Safar mushkil hai, but knowing you, you’ll walk into it with that same spark, that same honesty, and that same stubborn determination that runs in our family. Hum Bhatias ka funda simple hai: kaam karo, dil se karo, aur phir universe ka magic dekho. (The journey is difficult, but knowing you, you’ll face it with that same spark, that same honesty, and that same stubborn determination that runs in our family. Our Bhatia family mantra is simple: work hard, do it with heart, and then watch the magic of the universe unfold).”            Concluding the note with pride, Akshay expressed, “I’m so proud of you beta… The world is about to meet Simar Bhatia … but to me you’ve always been a star. Go shine! Jai Mahadev.”            Ikkis is an upcoming Bollywood biographical war-drama film that will portray the life of Arun Khetarpal, the youngest Indian Army officer to be posthumously honoured with the Param Vir Chakra for his brave actions during the 1971 Battle of Basantar.

B | 米兰冬奥周期，武大靖淡出国家队，于今年1月宣布退役。

C | 如今，武大靖将正式接过中国短道速滑队帅印，带队开启2030冬奥周期的备战工作。对其当选主帅一事，部分网友充满信心：“短道速滑的拯救者来了！”“期待新赛季的中国短道速滑队。”但需注意的是，武大靖虽为奥运冠军，大赛经历丰富，但执教经验几乎为零，而短道速滑作为中国冬季运动项目的一支王牌战队，成绩始终是外界衡量的重要标准。此番武大靖在国家队处于低谷期时临危受命固然可赞，但其能否挑起重担、带队重建辉煌，还需打一个问号。正如网友所言：“一旦接手后无法帮助队伍提升成绩，甚至不如上个奥运周期，不排除被迫提前下课的可能。”米兰冬奥周期时，曾率领匈牙利短道速滑男队创造历史的名帅张晶担任中国队主教练，之后，刘少林、刘少昂二人加入中国国籍，与恩师“再续前缘”。2022-2024赛季，以林孝埈、孙龙、李文龙、刘少林和刘少昂等为代表的中国短道速滑男队多次在世锦赛、世界杯夺得500米、5000米接力金牌。

D | 中国女队虽然整体实力下滑，但在男女2000米混合接力、3000米接力项目也站上过领奖台。然而在米兰冬奥会前的一个赛季，中国短道速滑在国际赛场的竞争力大幅下降，男队优势项目失去优势，女队晋级A组决赛的次数更屈指可数。米兰冬奥会，中国短道速滑队仅收获一枚银牌，创下了新世纪以来历史最差战绩。三个接力项目，竟未站上领奖台。

E | 着眼于2030年法国阿尔卑斯冬奥会备战，体育总局运动中心拟聘武大靖为短道速滑队主教练。此次竞聘，缺少大赛执教经历的武大靖凭借运动员生涯获得的2枚奥运会金牌入围并当选。在国内体育界，奥运冠军退役后有机会成为一名优秀的教练员，但并不绝对，就看武大靖能否打开视野、潜心学习，在教练生涯中闯出一片天地了。（罗掌柜）
