Beijing, 3 Feb (Reporters Li Shuo, Li Yang, and Sun Longfei) On 3 February, some projects of the Beijing Winter Olympics held preliminary competitions. Chinese curling mixed doubles duo Fan Suyuan /Ling Zhi experienced a one-day doubles match, defeating Australia but losing to Sweden, and achieved a record of 2 wins and 1 loss after 3 round-robin matches. The Chinese women's ice hockey team stood on the Winter Olympic field again after 12 years, and although it regrettably lost to the Czech Republic team 1:3, it dared to fight and showed its style. In the freestyle ski snow skill competition, Zhao Yang and Li Nan entered the second round of the men's and women's qualifiers respectively.

In the second game of the curling mixed doubles round-robin round-robin against the Australian team combination, Fan Suyuan/Ling Zhi held the game in the crucial eighth set and won 6-5. In the match against the Swedish team on the same night, the two men, who had relatively little experience in the competition, lost 6:7. "This defeat also reminds us to play a little more steadily." Ling Zhi concluded.

The Chinese women's ice hockey team debuted at noon on the 3rd at the Wukesong Sports Center. Although it lost to the Czech Republic 1:3, the overall performance of the team was not lacking in highlights. "The team has been well trained through this game, especially the young players have grown very quickly." Captain Yu Baiwei said.

Freestyle skiing snow skills became the first snow sports at the Beijing Winter Olympics. On the 3rd, Li Nan, a Chinese women's team player who ushered in her personal Winter Olympic debut, ranked nineteenth with a score of 63.32, and Zhao Yang, who represented the Chinese men's team to make her Debut in the Winter Olympics, ranked twenty-eighth with a score of 61.47, and both entered the second round of the qualifiers.
