The Beijing Winter Olympics opened last night, the main torch was lit, and all competitions were in full swing. Six gold medals will be produced today, and the first gold of the Chinese delegation is likely to appear in the short track speed skating mixed team relay final in the evening.
According to the schedule, in the six events that will produce gold medals today, the cross-country skiing women's double pursuit (7.5 km traditional technology + 7.5 km free technology) that starts at 15:45 will produce the first gold medal of this Winter Olympics. Cross-country skiing is known as the "snow marathon" and the Norwegian team is the "overlord" of the project. The results of the Chinese cross-country skiing team in the previous Winter Olympics and the world's strong teams are quite large, but for the first time at the Beijing Winter Olympics, it has achieved full coverage of the participating projects, which is a major breakthrough.
In addition, gold medals will be awarded in the speed skating women's 3000 m, biathlon mixed relay 4×6 km (women + men), ski jump women's individual standard platform, freestyle ski men's snow skills and short track speed skating mixed team relay events. Among them, the Chinese delegation has the strength to rush gold in the short track speed skating mixed group relay event, and the first gold of the delegation is likely to be born at the Capital Gymnasium tonight.
The short track speed skating mixed team relay is a new event at the Beijing Winter Olympics and one of the most promising gold rush points for the Chinese team. In the four sub-stations of this season's World Cup, the Chinese team sent a mixed relay team of Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei, Fan Kexin and Zhang Yuting to beijing at the first stop to win the first gold medal of the new season with a time of 2 minutes 37.923 seconds; in the second stop in Japan, the Chinese team won the silver medal in the mixed team relay final; in the third stop in Hungary, the Chinese team won the gold medal in the mixed team relay; and in the last stop in the Netherlands, the Chinese team won the bronze medal in the project. In the 4 sub-stations, although the Chinese team has changed the lineup several times, the results are still relatively stable, and a total of 2 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze are obtained. The mixed team relay 1/4 final will be played at 20:23 today, followed by the semi-final at 20:53, and if the Chinese team can successfully enter the Group A final, it will hit the first gold of the Chinese delegation at the Beijing Winter Olympics in the final starting at 21:26.
The National Speed Skating Hall "Ice Ribbon" will play the first competition of the Winter Olympics today and give birth to the venue's first gold medal , the speed skating women's 3000m final will be staged at 16:30. China's Han Mei and Akhnar Adak will appear in the "Ice Ribbon" to participate in the event. In this project, the Dutch star Scotten is a big hit for gold.
The ski jump women's individual standard stage final round will be held at 19:35 today. China's Dong Bing and Peng Qingyue will compete in the event, but to appear in the final round, they will have to go through the first round of competitions that start at 18:45.
In addition, the Chinese mixed doubles duo Fan Suyuan/Ling Zhi, who have gained a lot of "fans" on the "Ice Cube" curling field in the opening few days, encountered the "Devil's Schedule" today, not only a one-day double match, but also a short interval between the two matches. After a short break against the United States at 14:05, they still had to face the powerful Norwegian team at 20:05, which was not a small test.
