On February 6, Beijing time, the Beijing Winter Olympic Curling Mixed Doubles Round Robin tournament continued, and the Chinese combination of Ling Zhi and Fan Suyuan regretted losing 4-8 to the Italian team, missing the top four in advance and failing to enter the medal battle. Italy won seven straight, leading to the final four. In the future, the Chinese combination will also play against the Czech Republic. In the team competition, the Chinese men's and women's teams will also strive for good results.
In the mixed doubles competition of curling at the Winter Olympics, the Chinese combination of Ling Zhi and Fan Suyuan made a good start, and the two defeated Switzerland and Australia successively to achieve two consecutive wins. However, in the following matches, the Chinese combination was still more regrettable, after suffering 5 consecutive defeats, 2 wins and 5 losses, the situation was more passive. In the 8th game, against Italy, which has won 6 consecutive games, the Chinese combination is also a let go.
In this game, Italy showed great strength in the first set, scoring 3 points first and taking a 3-0 lead. In the second set, the Italian combination still scored 1 point, and the opening was 4-0. Ling Zhi and Fan Suyuan did not give up, and the two played well in the fifth set, seizing the opportunity to score 3 points, and at one point chased the score to 4-5 and only 1 point. Unfortunately, in the next three games, the Chinese combination made some mistakes, and the Italian team won 8-4, won 7 consecutive wins, and advanced to the final four.
The Chinese duo only had a 2-6 record with one game left, missing the top four in advance and not being able to enter the medal battle. For Ling Zhi and Fan Suyuan, there are indeed some regrets, but the first time they participated in the Winter Olympics, the two also showed their strength. The final of the mixed doubles round robin tournament is scheduled to be held on the 8th, and then from the 9th, the curling team competition will be competed for, and the Chinese men's and women's teams will appear, looking forward to better results.
