Chinese curling mixed doubles duo Ling Zhi/Fan Suyuan won again!
Following the first match through the overtime game to beat the runner-up combination of the last Winter Olympics by a score of 7-6, Yanni Perret/Martin Rios from Switzerland, this match against the Australian combination of Gill/Hewitt, Ling Zhi and Fan Suyuan were not soft, and continued to win another victory with a score of 6-5.
A total of 10 teams including China, Canada, Australia, the United States, the United Kingdom, the Czech Republic, Switzerland, Italy, Norway and Sweden will compete in the curling mixed doubles competition, and the four teams with the best results in the round-robin tournament will play semi-finals, and then compete for the championship and runner-up and bronze medals.
Although the curling competition schedule is closely arranged, a day to carry out double matches, but due to the number of games and rounds, the time and schedule of the game are very long, taking the mixed doubles as an example, each game needs to be played in 8 rounds, each game players need to throw 8 pots each, the pot is 19 kilograms, but it is not an ordinary person can play.
Curling for the athlete's mind and physical strength, endurance are a great test, strategy and tactics and skills can not be or lacking, scoring rules are relatively simple, who can put the ball in the circle the most, and than the opponent throws the ball closer to the center of the circle, who can get more points, such as both sides have 3 balls in the circle, but the two balls of team A are closer to the center of the circle than all the balls of team B, then team A will get 2 points in the small game.
So this sport is more than how to limit the opponent can not score, and let themselves score more, the place ball is a more commonly used tactic, sticky ball, hitting, double flying, are commonly used in the game of terminology, this is a battle of wits and courage, more fighting mentality and techniques of the game, understand, naturally will enjoy it.
Curling project is well known to Chinese audiences, or because of Wang Bingyu's Chinese women's curling team, in 2009, the Chinese women's team was a blockbuster, won the World Championships, so that this very interesting ice and snow sports, the first time into the vision of Chinese audiences, due to regional conditions, ice and snow sports is originally a relatively niche sport, curling sports is a niche in the minority, but it is also because of the bright smiles of the girls that year, so that the majority of Chinese audiences also rose up in the heart of an inexplicable joy.
Unfortunately, Chinese ice hockey did not achieve further breakthroughs in the Olympic arena, and the best ranking was the third place in the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, and pursuing dreams has become the goal that the Chinese team has been diligently pursuing for many years. ；
Ice hockey mixed doubles project developed late, until the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics 4 years ago, it was listed as an official competition item of the Winter Olympics, and the Chinese players Ling Zhi and Fan Suyuan were only 3 months together, but the so-called newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, Ling Zhi, born in 1994, and Fan Suyuan, born in 1996, are holding the goal of daring to break the old order and dare to challenge all players.
Two battles and two wins, I hope that such a momentum can continue to continue, can play out of the level, surpass themselves, is a good look, the Big New Year, who looks at the Chinese team is not a festive? The people never ask for too much, and everyone wants to see the Chinese athletes wearing that red and roaring with anger!
This is the taste of the New Year!
