China made its Winter Olympic debut in these events

【Global Times Comprehensive Report】While the short track speed skating team won the first gold for the Chinese delegation, many Chinese athletes made their debut in the Chinese team's Winter Olympics.

In the women's steeplechase preliminary competition for snowboarding on the 5th, Jung became the first athlete in China to compete in the Winter Olympics event. Unfortunately, she made mistakes in both rounds of qualifying and eventually finished 25th and missed the final stage. Jung said after the game: "I am really proud to represent China in such a big competition, and I cherish the opportunity to compete with so many great athletes. ”

Snowboard slope obstacle course became an official sport at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, while Chinese athletes have failed to participate in the past two Winter Olympics. However, on December 31, 2021, in the women's steeplechase qualification event at the Snowboard World Cup in Calgary, Jung finished 13th and met the participation standards of the Beijing Winter Olympics.

Also making his debut was the Chinese bobsleigh team, with Fan Duoyao making his debut in the men's bobsleigh event at the Winter Olympics on behalf of China. In the evening of the 5th, Fan Duoyao finished 25th in 1:57.731. In addition, in the biathlon mixed relay 4×6 km (women + men), the Chinese team composed of Meng Fanqi, Chu Yuanmeng, Yan Xingyuan and Cheng Fangming won the 15th place. China's biathlon mixed relay is currently in the stage of starting from scratch, and it is very gratifying to be able to achieve such results. (Li Jiayin)
