Be the first to fight! Beijing Winter Olympics Chinese team debut Watch curling!

BEIJING, Feb. 2 (Xinhua) -- Red lanterns everywhere, blessing characters posted in every household, pedestrians carrying gifts on the street... The Spring Festival is coming, and everything is festive and peaceful. On February 4, the Beijing Winter Olympics will be unveiled at the "Bird's Nest". In fact, with a strong New Year's flavor, this ice and snow feast has issued a sincere invitation to the guests in advance.

On February 2, the second day of the Lunar New Year, the curling project will take the lead in the battle. Before the opening ceremony, on the field of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, you can get a glimpse of the style of Chinese athletes.

Beijing Winter Olympics Chinese team debut, watch curling!

According to Chinese custom, "the first month is a year", which means that the entire duration of the Beijing Winter Olympics will "perfectly coincide" with the Chinese New Year. The curling project that took the lead in the war also brought a visual feast to the audience who loved it in advance.

As the longest event at the Beijing Winter Olympics, curling will be held at the National Aquatics Center, which is the embodiment of "Ice Cube", with three sub-events: men's, women's and mixed doubles. The Chinese curling team, which qualified for 3 minor events, will appear in the mixed doubles round robin on the evening of the 2nd, against the Swiss team. This was also the first match of the Chinese sports delegation at the Beijing Winter Olympics.

Before the Winter Olympics, in the six-week selection competition, the men's team led by Ma Xiuyue, the women's team led by Han Yu and the mixed doubles combination Fan Suyuan/Ling Zhi stood out and participated in the Beijing Winter Olympics, with 10 members making their debuts at the Winter Olympics.

The curling mixed doubles tournament, which took the lead in the competition, became an official event at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang. The Chinese mixed doubles duo Fan Suyuan/Ling Zhi will challenge the mixed doubles silver medal duo at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics at about 8 p.m. on the 2nd, with Switzerland's Perrett/Rios. After that, the Chinese team will also play against Australia, Sweden, Canada, the United States, Norway, the United Kingdom, Italy and the Czech Republic in the round robin.

In this project that shows the beauty of movement and the wisdom of trade-offs, the Chinese curling team, which combines the old and the new, has started again and moved forward.
