Huai Mingming Yingqing led the Chinese Snow Racing Team's Winter Olympics roster

On January 27, according to the media information service system of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, the list of Chinese snow teams has been basically determined, and Huai Mingming and Ying Qing, who have achieved good results in the IBSF International Snowmobile and Steel Frame Snowmobile World Cup sub-stations this season, will lead a total of 12 players to participate in all 4 sub-events of the Winter Olympics snowmobile event.

According to the system, the list contains 8 male players and 4 female players. The 8 male players are Sun Kaizhi, Wu Qingze, Zhen Heng, Wu Zhitao, Li Chunjian, Liu Wei, Shi Hao and Ding Song, and the 4 female players are Huai Mingming, Wang Xuan, Ying Qing and Du Jiani. Among them, Huai Mingming and Ying Qing will participate in the women's single snowmobile competition respectively, while the two-led Huai Mingming/Wang Xuan and Ying Qing/Du Jiani will also participate in the competition for the women's double snowmobile project; on the men's side, Li Chunjian and Sun Kaizhi, the two helmsmen, will lead their teammates to participate in the competition for the men's double snowmobile and four-person snowmobile project.

As early as the beginning of the year, the Chinese snowmobile national team locked all the quotas for the snowmobile projects of the Winter Olympics in advance, that is, two places were obtained in each of the four sub-events. Although from the overall strength point of view, the Chinese team is still far from the European and American powers in the single, double and 4-person events, but through the tempering of the multi-stop World Cup competition in the 2021-2022 season, the strength of Chinese players has made significant progress.

In the final ranking of women's snowmobilers of the International Snowmobile and Steel Frame Snowmobile Federation this season, China's highest ranking is Ying Qing at 11th, and Huai Mingming is ranked 14th. The best result for the two came from the higuda in Latvia on January 1 this year, when Huai Mingming and Ying Qing finished fourth and fifth respectively in the women's singles competition. The combination of Huai Mingming/Wang Xuan and Ying Qing/Du Jiani won the fourth and sixth places in the doubles competition, respectively. The two will play medals for the Chinese delegation at the Winter Olympics.

The Beijing Winter Olympics bobsleigh event will be officially launched on February 13 at the Yanqing National Bobsleigh Center, and all competitions will end on February 20.
