It is worth mentioning that the Swiss team is a former world champion, and its strength should not be underestimated, so I will take you to understand the specific situation. CCTV5 Live! Curling at the Winter Olympics: China VS former world champion, domineering stance does not fear Switzerland!
When I saw the competition schedule, I believe many people have a question, that is, the Beijing Winter Olympics do not have to wait until the 4th to hold the opening ceremony, how to start the game today? In fact, this is all traceable, it turns out that curling is the most games in the Winter Olympics (147 games), so the curling project can only be carried out in advance!
Judging from the schedule, the first round of the Winter Olympic Curling Mixed Doubles Round Robin tournament will be held at 8:05 tonight, which means that the Winter Olympics will officially begin every 4 years! CCTV5 live-streamed the showdown, and the Chinese duo of Ling Zhi/Fan Suyuan was very lucky to become the host athlete for the first pair to appear at the Beijing Winter Olympics.
It is worth mentioning that Ling Zhi and Fan Suyuan are a new pair, but they showed a very tacit cooperation, and eventually became the only mixed doubles pair to qualify for the Winter Olympic Curling Mixed Doubles. The Swiss mixed doubles duo perrett/Rios is more experienced, and the mixed doubles duo won the gold medal at the 2017 World Championships and the silver medal at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang.
In order to play in better shape, Ling Zhi/Fan Suyuan also had a training session this morning, and they were interviewed by the media after the training. When asked what they thought of the upcoming competition, Ling Zhi and Fan Suyuan both showed great confidence, saying that they would lay down their baggage and fight the first battle of this Beijing Winter Olympics!
Although the opponent Swiss team is a former world champion, Ling Zhi is still full of confidence, domineering and not afraid of the opponent Swiss team, "We have played with the Swiss team many times, win or lose each other, depending on who is in better shape at night, there is a better chance to win!" Fan Suyuan gave the competition venue a high evaluation and recognition, "The atmosphere of the venue is really fantastic, we will definitely play a good game!" ”
Lanta Maiki, the coach of our Chinese curling mixed doubles team, was also interviewed, and he said that the Chinese players are fully prepared, if you have to say a probability of winning, then it is to open with the Swiss team. Whether it is coach Lanta Maiki or contestant Ling Zhi / Fan Suyuan, their statements are full of confidence, which also makes everyone look forward to this showdown even more!
Coupled with the fact that our Chinese team has the home field advantage, I believe that Ling Zhi/Fan Suyuan will definitely bring surprises to the Chinese people and strive to win the opening red for the Chinese delegation. As for how our Chinese team will perform tonight, let's wait and see! Come on Chinese team!
