The Beijing Winter Olympics are getting better, and the host Chinese delegation will attack the three gold medals of snowboarding and short track speed skating today with a gold in hand.
In the final of the men's slope steeplechase skills of snowboarding, Chinese teenager Su Yiming became the biggest dark horse with the first place in the qualifiers. In the previous World Series of this project, the 17-year-old Su Yiming has never been in the top three, but his first skating performance in the qualifiers yesterday was particularly outstanding.
Since the qualifying results did not bring into the final at noon today, Su Yiming had to start from scratch and compete with the defending champions and a number of European and American celebrities. Even if you don't win the gold in the end, in fact, being able to stand on the podium is a victory.
Tonight, the Chinese delegation will also compete for gold medals in the women's 500 meters and men's 1000 meters in short track speed skating. Both events will be contested from the quarterfinals to the semi-finals to the finals, with three rounds to determine the final winner.
Short track speed skating has always been a strong sport in China, and the first gold of this Winter Olympics also came from short track speed skating. The women's 500 meters were played by Fan Kexin, Qu Chunyu and Zhang Yuting; the men's 1,000 meters were played by Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei and Li Wenlong.
Gu Ailing, the most popular player in the Chinese delegation, will appear in the qualifying round of the freestyle ski women's big jump this morning, and she is bound to become the focus of attention with her super difficult moves.
The figure skating team competition will also enter the final competition, and it is too difficult for the Chinese team to rank in the top five for the first time in the history of the Winter Olympics to narrow the gap of up to 10 points between the third-place Japanese team in pairs free skating, ice dance free skating and women's singles free skating. Being able to surpass Canada, which has 1 point more than itself, and reaching the top four is a victory. Of course, the free slip of the "onion bucket combination" is also very worth appreciating.
The Chinese women's ice hockey team will usher in the final game of the group stage in the evening. They have just defeated the strongest team in the group, Japan, as long as they can guarantee that they will not be defeated in the regular time of the game, they can secure a place in the quarterfinals. Otherwise, you may be eliminated.
The opponent Sweden lost all the previous two group matches, they are also a backwater battle, only in the regular time to defeat the Chinese team, in order to retain the hope of promotion.
