On the afternoon of January 27, the long-awaited list of Chinese Winter Olympic delegations for the 2022 Winter Olympics was officially announced, and the athletes and projects of each participating event were also determined. Curling has a short history of development in our country, but it has a great latecomer advantage and has become one of the most familiar and favorite ice events in Chinese.
In terms of achievements, Chinese curling mainly has three points.
Regarding women's curling, the Chinese team won the curling world championship in 2009 and the bronze medal at the Vancouver Winter Olympics in 2010, and the chinese people's liking for curling is mainly due to the unexpected performance of Chinese curlers in these two major events.
