College student volunteer Li Guanlin: The “floor mopping brother who relies on his knees to brake”

Zhejiang Daily reporter Zhu Ping

In the early morning of October 7, Li Guanlin, who had just returned to the dormitory of China Jiliang University, was reluctant to sleep. He recalled with excitement his last volunteer service for the Hangzhou Asian Games that night at the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Basketball Hall.

“I came to Hangzhou from Changchun to study in college just for the Asian Games.” When talking about his feelings for the Asian Games in Hangzhou, this sophomore boy with a slight “Northeastern accent” was very straightforward. He told reporters that he heard that Hangzhou was going to host the second Asian Games. During the 19th Asian Games, when filling in the application form for the college entrance examination, they targeted universities in Hangzhou. “I’m looking forward to being an Asian Games volunteer if I have the chance,” he said.

After many rounds of selection, Li Guanlin realized his wish and served as the leader of the FOP area (competition venue) venue cleaning volunteer team in the Hangzhou Olympic Sports Center Gymnasium.

In the basketball world, volunteers in this position have a very cute name: “floor mopping brother”. But many people don’t know that in addition to mopping the floor and mopping the floor between sessions, the “mopping brother” is also responsible for managing the ball when the players warm up.

During the basketball game, Li Guanlin’s seat was right next to the basket. “I was very excited when I saw my work station close to the competition field for the first time.” Although he was in this enviable “super VIP position”, Li Guanlin did not have the opportunity to enjoy the game. Because when the game is going on, the mopping volunteers need to be highly concentrated. They have to rush onto the field at any time to ensure that the playing field is clean.

“Our task is to ensure that there are no debris on the floor and no sweat and water stains.” Li Guanlin said that this sounds simple and trivial, but it has a huge impact on the game. “Players will sweat a lot when playing. If not treated in time, they will easily slip if stepped on by players behind them, and may even cause injury to the players.”

At the same time, when to “go out” to wipe the floor and how to wipe it is also a “technical job”. When Li Guanlin and his team members rushed onto the court to wipe the floor, they had to pick the right moment, wipe it quickly and leave before the players returned. The whole process had to be completed within a few seconds. In order to reach the location that needs to be wiped as quickly as possible, the “floor mopping guys” will speed up and rush onto the field. One wipe is equivalent to an anaerobic sprint and return run. Also, because they bend over and rush too hard, they have to rely on their knees every time. After landing, Li Guanlin and his team members’ knees were all red.

From the official start of the basketball court on September 26 to the end of the schedule on the evening of October 6, Li Guanlin spent 11 days in the basketball court. He told reporters that he had always felt that his position was inconspicuous, but he did not expect that because of the working moments recorded by the audience and the media, more and more people would like the “floor mopping brother”.

“Everyone’s praise and recognition makes me and my team members full of energy every day.” The Asian Games is about to come to an end. Li Guanlin said that this is not only a stage for athletes, but also a stage for him and all the “Little Green Lotus” to bloom their youth. , this experience is destined to be unforgettable.
