Chinese Bobsleigh Captain Fan Duoyao: Winter Olympic debut I scored 7 points for myself

On the evening of February 6, the men's single bobsleigh competition of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics began a gold medal competition at the National Bobsleigh Center "Snow Dragon", and Fan Duoyao, the captain of the Chinese bobsleigh team, skated out of the round with a time of 58.895 seconds, ranking 24th with a total score of 2:56.626, missing the fourth round.

According to the rules of the competition, only the top 20 skaters in the first three rounds are eligible to enter the fourth round of skating, which also means that Fan Duoyao's trip to the Winter Olympics is over.

After the game, Fan Duoyao, who walked to the mixed interview area, was slightly regretful, he said: "My clothes and equipment were not packed at the starting point, and before the game, I really thought that I could rush and enter the fourth round, and I really didn't expect to stop at the third round." For his debut in the Winter Olympics, Fan Duoyao said he gave himself 7 points.

He feels that as an athlete who has not been involved in bobsleigh for a long time, he still has many shortcomings at the technical level. "The most prominent shortcoming is to start. I practiced every day during the summer training, and I always wanted to overcome this problem, but in the end there was no special improvement. Of course, judging from the starting reaction time of these three rounds of competitions, it is still getting better and better. ”

Talking about the gap between the Chinese bobsleigh team and the European strong team, Fan Duoyao believes that China is still only a newcomer in this project, and the overall development time is relatively short, unlike Germany and Austria, which have been accumulated for many years, forming a talent training system for athletes and coaches. These are the future development directions of the Chinese bobsleigh team.

As for his next goal, Fan Duoyao admitted, "There is no clear goal yet, everything is unknown, but it will work in a good direction." I hope that the teammates who participate in the competition behind will not care about the opinions of others, believe in themselves, and play the best mental state and level. ”
