In more than half a month, the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics will open. Ice and snow experts from all over the world will gather in China to show their skills.
This is the first time that the Winter Olympics have been held in China, and it is also the second time that Beijing has hosted the Winter Olympics after hosting the Summer Olympics in 2008. Beijing is the only city to host the Winter Olympics after hosting the Summer Olympics.
Since China first participated in the Winter Olympics in 1980 and participated in the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics in South Korea in 2018, how many Winter Olympic Games have the Chinese sports delegation participated in, what good results have been achieved, and what dazzling stars have emerged? Xiang Chu checked the relevant information and sorted it out to share with the majority of sports enthusiasts. This is also good for everyone to watch the Beijing Winter Olympics.
The Chinese Winter Olympic delegation first participated in the Winter Olympics in the 13th Winter Olympics in 1980, and by the 23rd Pyeongchang Winter Olympics in 2018, a total of 11 Winter Olympics were participated. The 24th Winter Olympics were held in Beijing, the first time China participated in the Winter Olympics held on its own soil, and the 12th time it participated in the Winter Olympics.
The 13th Winter Olympics in 1980 were held in Lake Placid, USA. China sent a total of 28 male and female athletes to compete in 5 events. It was just that the strength of China's winter project was weak at that time, so the Chinese delegation did not win a medal.
The 14th Winter Olympics in 1984 was held in Sarajevo, and the Chinese delegation sent 37 athletes to participate in 26 individual competitions. The Chinese Olympic delegation still did not gain.
The 15th Winter Olympics in 1988 were held in Calgary, Canada. The Chinese delegation sent 20 people to participate in the competition in 3 events and did not win medals. However, Li Yan won the gold medal in the 1000 meters and the bronze medals in the 500 meters and 1500 meters in the women's sprint speed skating exhibition competition of the Winter Olympics. Of course, the exhibition match is no match for the official game.

Ye Qiaobo won the silver medal in the 500m and 1000m speed skating, and Li Yan won the silver medal in the 500m short track speed skating. This is the first time China has won a medal at the Winter Olympics. Since then, at every Winter Olympic Games, the Chinese sports delegation has medals in the account, and the results are good. Ye Qiaobo achieved zero medal breakthroughs for the Chinese sports delegation at the Winter Olympics.
In order to stagger the Summer Olympics and the Winter Olympics, the 17th Winter Olympics were held in Lillehammer, Norway, in 1994. The Chinese delegation sent 27 athletes and won only 3 medals. Zhang Yanmei won the silver medal in the 500m short track speed skating, Ye Qiaobo won the bronze medal in the 1000m speed skating, and Chen Lu won the bronze medal in figure skating women's singles.

Yang Yang has won a gold medal in the 1500-meter short track speed skating and five gold medals in relay races at the World Championships. Although he won three silver medals at the Nagano Winter Olympics, Yang Yang was not satisfied with this result. She is very eager to achieve a gold medal breakthrough for the Chinese delegation.

Li Jianrou won the gold medal in short track speed skating in the 500 meters, and Zhou Yang defended the gold medal in short track speed skating in the 1500 meters.
The 23rd Winter Olympics in 2018 will be held in Pyeongchang, South Korea. Originally thought that the Chinese delegation would get good results, but did not expect to be repeatedly unclean by the South Korean team, resulting in the failure to create good results. Although the Chinese delegation won 9 medals, only 1 gold medal was included, 6 silver medals and 2 bronze medals. The Chinese delegation left regrets. Wu Dajing won the gold medal in the short track speed skating 500 meters.
The Chinese delegation participated in a total of 11 Olympic Games, winning a total of 13 gold, 28 silver and 21 bronze, ranking 17th in the overall medal table. The top three are Germany, Russia and Norway.
It was Ye Qiaobo who won the first Winter Olympic medal for the Chinese delegation, Yang Yang who won the first gold medal, and Wang Meng, who won the most gold medals, who won four gold medals. At the same time, Wang Meng won 4 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze medal in the two Winter Olympic Games, a total of 6 medals, which is the athlete who won the most medals in the Chinese delegation at the Winter Olympic Games. Wang Meng is also the female athlete who has won the most short track speed skating Olympic medals in the world.
Two of the Chinese delegation won five medals. They are Yang Yang (2 gold, 2 silver and 1 copper) and Yang Yang (4 silver and 1 copper).
The 2022 Winter Olympics will be held in Beijing. The Winter Olympics will be held at home, and there are high-level athletes such as Gu Ailing, and I believe that the Chinese sports delegation will achieve record good results. Let's look forward to it!
