With athletes from all over the world staying in the Winter Olympic Village, the 2022 Winter Olympics officially entered the Beijing Winter Olympics. Previously, the tickets for the Winter Olympics have all been released, and the Chinese sports delegation has been officially established. In this Winter Olympic Games, a total of 387 Chinese sports delegations participated, including 176 athletes, 164 coaches and team leaders, and 47 youth league staff. It is worth mentioning that the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics is the largest participation of Chinese sports delegations in the history of the Winter Olympics. The Chinese team will launch a gold medal in short track speed skating, figure skating, freestyle skiing and speed skating.
At the last Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, the Chinese sports delegation only won a gold medal in the short track speed skating event, and the overall performance was not as good as the Sochi Winter Olympics. The 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics was the most dazzling Olympic Games of the Chinese legion, and the Chinese short track speed skating women's team won all four events with its insoluble strength. In addition, Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo of the Chinese figure skating team also fulfilled their dream for the first time in Vancouver, winning the first gold medal in pair skating in the history of the Winter Olympics for the team.
Judging from the list reported, the Chinese team has a total of 176 athletes participating in 15 major competitions, the number of female athletes is 87, the number of male athletes is 89, and the proportion of men and women is relatively balanced. Some people joke that judging from the achievements of the Chinese legion in the previous Winter Olympics, female athletes have become the main force for winning gold. Yang Yang of the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, Wang Meng of the Turin Winter Olympics and vancouver Winter Olympics, and Zhou Yang of the Sochi Winter Olympics all raised the national flag and played the national anthem at the Winter Olympics. At the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, Wu Dajing was the only Olympic champion in the men's team.
At this Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chinese men's and women's teams are expected to achieve full blooming, and Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei, Qi Guangpu, Xu Mengtao, Gu Ailing, Sui Wenjing, Han Cong, etc., are considered to be the favorites to win the championship. The average age of the Chinese team in this Winter Olympic Games is 25 years old, the oldest is 37 years old, the youngest is 17 years old, and 131 athletes are making their debut in the Winter Olympic Games. Xu Mengtao, Jia Zongyang and Qi Guangpu of the freestyle skiing aerial skills team participated in the Winter Olympics for the fourth time. Several veterans said in interviews that they have competed in several Olympic Games, and they all hope to realize their lifelong dreams on their doorstep.
In the previous World Cup race, several freestyle skiers got good results. Not surprisingly, this will be the last Olympic trip of Xu Mengtao, Qi Guangpu and others, and everyone expects them to achieve their wishes. With the establishment of the Chinese sports delegation of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, domestic ice and snow athletes officially began the journey of the Winter Olympics. The outside world generally believes that the Chinese team will win 6 gold medals or more, what will you expect for this Winter Olympics?
