Cross-country skiing originated in Northern Europe, also known as Nordic skiing, and is one of the oldest sports in the history of world sports.
In 1924, it was included in the first Winter Olympic Games. Cross-country skiing is a sport that uses skiing equipment to use basic techniques such as mountaineering, downhilling, turning, and sliding to ski on the snowy slopes of the hills. Cross-country skiing competition routes are divided into uphill, downhill and flat, each accounting for about one-third of the whole process.
The Cross-Country Skiing Double Pursuit is a group cross-country skiing event with two 7.5 km (7.5 km traditional technique + 7.5 km free technique) stages.
When all athletes start at the same time, they need to combine two cross-country skiing techniques in one race (freestyle skiing is faster than traditional skiing), and the timer does not stop when stopping at the stop to change the traditional equipment to freestyle equipment.
The double chase tests the athlete's ability to switch skills and proficiency in both techniques.
Today's competition has four Chinese players, Chi Chunxue, Bayani Garin, Li Xin and Diniger Yilamujiang. Among them, Diniger Yilamujiang was the last torchbearer at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics last night.
In the end, Li Xin finished 33rd, Chi Chunxue 34th, Diniger Yilamujiang 43rd, and Bayani Garin ranked 46th.
