The short-track speed skating team, which has already won 10 gold medals in the history of the Winter Olympics, is regarded as a barometer of the Chinese delegation's competition results. In the 4 races of the Short Track Speed Skating World Cup this season, the Chinese team won a total of 7 championships, and ren Ziwei, Wu Dajing and other famous players have won gold performances. However, the team also exposed some shortcomings in the World Cup, especially the women's team did not win the gold medal in the single event. In this regard, the short track speed skating training team is actively preparing for the battle in Beijing to make up for the shortcomings.
With the Calgary race concluding last weekend, the four World Cup races in speed skating this season are all over. The performance of the Chinese players was particularly eye-catching, in addition to winning 4 gold, 3 silver and 2 bronze medals in the 4 competitions, a total of 4 people broke the national record. Including the same person's multiple times to refresh the personal best situation, a total of 36 people created personal best results.

The best in the current team is Ning Zhongyan, who has won 3 gold and 2 silver in this season's World Cup. Among them, the men's 1000m gold medal won in Calgary, which is the first time that a Chinese athlete has won the World Cup in this event. According to the plan, the Chinese speed skating training team will return to China today. In the next stage, the team will conduct closed training in the 27th National Ice and Snow Sports Training Base until the opening of the Winter Olympic Games.
After completing the first phase of winter training in Arshan, the freestyle skiing aerial skills national training team is outside to compete for this season's World Cup. This team has Xu Mengtao, Kong Fanyu, Qi Guangpu, Jia Zongyang and many other world famous players, and is the vanguard of the Chinese team competing for gold and silver at the Beijing Winter Olympics.
Up to now, the Chinese team has won 4 gold, 5 silver and 2 bronze in this season's World Cup, and Xu Mengtao, Kong Fanyu, Qi Guangpu and Jia Zongyang have all reached the highest podium. Among them, Xu Mengtao has raised the number of individual World Cup gold medals to 26, becoming the athlete with the most World Cup wins in history.

Starting from the World Cup results, Chinese players still have a certain group advantage in this project, and winning consecutive championships in the mixed team of new events at the Beijing Winter Olympics is the best proof. However, if the target is the highest podium of the Winter Olympics, the team still needs to make good use of the last 50 days.
Turning to the snow, Chinese skiers have recently been stationed in the social media hot search section, thanks to their repeated world cup successes.

In just one week, Gu Ailing, Cai Xuetong, and Su Yiming won 4 gold. Among them, Gu Ailing won the double crown in 6 days and sacrificed the "killer skill" of 1440 degrees of the two-week flip body, becoming the first player to complete the action in the women's freestyle ski competition. Su Yiming's gold medal is equally valuable, he completed the historic leap of Chinese male athletes in the World Cup snowboard jumping event.
Also participating in the World Cup series overseas are players from Teams such as Chinese Snowmobiles and Chinese Steel Frame Snowmobiles. According to the rules, the Winter Olympic points races in events such as snowmobiles and steel frame snowmobiles will last until mid-January next year, and Chinese athletes will fight to win more Olympic qualifications.
In the previous race, Geng Wenqiang won the Austrian men's singles championship with a time of 1:46.04, which was China's first steel frame snowmobile World Cup title, and as the captain, he injected a shot in the arm. Fan Duoyao, the captain of the Chinese bobsleigh team, is also a role model, and he has been in the main competition in the World Cup in Beijing a few days ago, thus rewriting the history of Chinese bobsleigh.
Among the other national teams, the national ice hockey training team that has qualified for the Winter Olympics is trained in the competition, and they are participating in the Continental Ice Hockey League (KHL) in Russia and plan to return home after completing the foreign training competition this month; the Olympic selection of the curling national training team is underway, and the coaching team will select the strongest lineup according to the comprehensive performance of the players in the 6 competitions...

Standing at the 50-day countdown to the Beijing Winter Olympics, Chinese ice and snow athletes raced against the clock and accelerated their sprints. Looking back on the road of preparation in the past four years, China's ice and snow sports performance has made leaps and bounds. Especially after entering this season, the words gold medal, breakthrough, record and so on have been repeatedly mentioned.
In the last 50 days, I hope that Chinese athletes will go all out for their dreams and leave no regrets! (End)
