The Chinese Snow Skills Team went all out to qualify for the Winter Olympics

From January 13 to 14, Beijing time, the FIS Freestyle Skiing Snow Skills World Cup will compete in Deer Valley, USA, for two consecutive matches, which is the last two opportunities to win tickets for the Beijing Winter Olympics. At present, the Chinese freestyle skiing snow skills national training team has obtained a ticket for men and women to the Beijing Winter Olympics. Faced with the last chance, the whole team is eager to attack at the last moment and strive for more Winter Olympic seats.

From January 7 to 8, the freestyle ski snow skills event competed in Two World Cups in Trumbone, Canada, twice for men and women. The Chinese Freestyle Skiing Snow Skills National Training Team sent a total of 3 men and 5 women to participate. In the competition on the 7th, Kawamura Kosato, a "talented girl" born in Japan in 2004, won the women's championship with 81.76 points. China's Li Nan finished 27th out of 37 with 60.28 points. In the men's competition that followed, Pyeongchang Winter Olympic champion, Canada's Mikaar Kingsbury won the championship, and China's Chen Kang finished 45th.

In the 8th competition, the women's champion belonged to the Pyeongchang Winter Olympic champion, France's Pelin Lafan, who won the gold medal with 82.55 points, and Li Nan once again became the best performer in China, finishing 25th with 65.87 points. In the men's group, after continuing the results of the 7-day competition, Kingsbury won the championship again, and Chen Kang finished 43rd.

In the real-time ranking of winter Olympic points, two Pyeongchang winter olympic champions Mikaar Kingsbury and Pelin Raven each occupy the top of the men's and women's standings, and Australia, Canada and the United States have shown strong overall strength in this project, and currently won 4 men and 4 women's Winter Olympic seats.

China's overall strength in this event is limited, and the Chinese freestyle skiing snow skills national training team has won 1 men's seat and 1 women's seat, both of which were obtained by two veterans born in 1992. Female athlete Li Nan and male athlete Zhao Yang both unlocked the event's beijing winter Olympic host at the Freestyle Skiing Snowplay World Cup in Aldouves, France, last December. In that race, Li Nan finished 26th in the women's singles competition, and Zhao Yang finished 28th in the men's doubles competition, meeting the requirements of winning the top 30 in a certain World Cup this season.

In the last few World Cup matches, in the men's group, Zhao Yang did not participate, Chen Kang was constantly striving for good results, and Li Nan continued to have a good performance of breaking into the top 30 of the World Cup. Before the Lugu Station in the United States on the 13th, the Beijing Winter Olympics had 14 points and Li Nan scored 15 points, which was successfully shortlisted. Another player, Cao Tianqing, scored 4 points and is currently ranked 6th in the waitlist. If she had a good performance in the later Shikaya station, she still had hopes of qualifying for the Winter Olympics.
