Sacrificing the time to rest, they completed the training tasks of the previous selection, intramural training, joint training at the Shunyi District, joint training and the grand rehearsal at the National Indoor Stadium. The training lasted 132 days and the cumulative training time per capita reached more than 600 hours.
