Live Bar January 25 News Speaking of the Olympic Games, the first thing Chinese sports fans care about is the first gold battle. At the Tokyo Summer Olympics in July last year, Chinese shooting youngster Yang Qian withstood great pressure and won the first gold medal of the Tokyo Olympic Games, and the news came that the Chinese people were very excited. So, can we continue the wonderful performance at the Summer Olympics in Beijing? I have to regret to say that China's ice and snow athletes do not have this strength.
The first gold medal for the Beijing Winter Olympics will be generated on February 5, the day after the opening. On this day, a total of 6 events produced medals, the first event was speed skating women's 3000 meters, the gold medal production time was about 18:30; the second event was short track speed skating mixed team 2000 meters relay, the gold medal production time was about 21:50; the third event was the women's ski jumping women's standard platform, the gold medal was generated at about 20:20; the fourth event was the women's cross-country skiing double chase 7.5 km + 7.5 km, and the gold medal was generated at about 16:45 The fifth event is the biathlon mixed relay, the gold medal is produced at about 18:30, and the sixth event is the freestyle ski men's snow skill, and the gold medal is produced at about 21:10.
Although the above 6 events will produce the first gold of their respective projects, who will become the first gold of this Winter Olympic Games will compete for whose gold medal will come out earlier. Judging from the above gold medal production time, cross-country skiing should take the lead, because its gold medal birth time is around 16:45 on February 5, and in cross-country skiing, the strength of the Chinese team is very limited, and the champion is doomed to lose us.
Cross-country skiing is a snow sports, this cross-country skiing has a total of 12 gold medals, the number of gold medals is second only to the 13 gold medals in the freestyle ski event, so in the 10 sub-events of snow, cross-country skiing is a gold medal event, and it is also the founding competition of the first Winter Olympics.
At the Beijing Winter Olympics, the 12 sub-events of cross-country skiing are: men's 15 km, men's double chase, men's individual sprint, men's team sprint, men's 50 km group departure and men's 4×10 km relay; women's 10 km, women's double chase, women's individual sprint, women's team sprint, women's 30 km group departure and women's 4×5 km relay. The first to start the battle was the women's doubles chase, a combination of cross-country skiing 7.5 km traditional and 7.5 km freestyle. So, who has the best hope of competing for the first gold of the Beijing Winter Olympics?
The most likely answer is: Charlotte Carla ( above ) . At the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics four years ago, cross-country skiing became the first event to produce a gold medal, and the winner happened to be Charlotte Carla, the third Olympic gold medal in Carla's career, who won the 10 km free technical championship at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics and was crowned the 4×5 km relay champion at the Sochi Winter Olympics four years later, thus becoming Sweden's first female cross-country skier to win gold three times at the Winter Olympics. Although she is 35 years old, she is still in good shape this season and has been selected for the Swedish Winter Olympics squad, so we are still optimistic that the Swedish actress will successfully defend her title. Of course, in this event, Norwegian and Finnish athletes who belong to the top three in Northern Europe also have strong strength, and the second and third place athletes in the last Winter Olympics were Norwegians and Finns, respectively. Therefore, even if Kara cannot defend her title, the first gold of the Beijing Winter Olympics will most likely fall into the hands of the Top Three in Northern Europe.
