The last battle was lost! In the Winter Olympic Curling Mixed Doubles Round Robin Tournament, in the case of the preliminary determination not to qualify for the final four, the final battle between the Chinese curling mixed doubles combination Ling Zhi/Fan Suyuan and the Czech team Paulo/Paulova, the Chinese combination in a 6-1 lead at one point, a series of mistakes, failed to draw a perfect end to a victory for the curtain battle.
Curling mixed doubles has always been a strong point in Europe and the United States, in all the historical competitions of curling, Asian teams have only won the championship of this event once, that is, the Chinese women's team led by Wang Bingyu in 2009, which won the world championship.
From this point of view, the Chinese curling team only came to learn from the top players from all over the world, focusing on participation, but the Chinese mixed doubles combination dared to fight, and the round robin began to defeat the Swiss combination and the Australian combination in succession, which once brought a lot of hope to the Chinese people.
However, curling is a very test of physical strength and endurance of the sport, but also need to have good technical ability and technical stability, for the rapidly changing complex situation on the field also need to make the most reasonable judgment and the most correct choice, for the players in the battle of the psychological quality requirements are also quite high, this sport has always been known as "ice snooker".
In the next game, the Chinese combination still showed a very young side, such as obviously playing a little simpler, but the opponent with the rhythm to complicate the scene; when the opportunity appeared, because the psychological fluctuations were too large, the mistakes were also a little too much, and the Chinese team was often stolen by the opponent, which was obviously not calm enough.
For example, against Norway, the Chinese team was successfully scored by the opponent by 5 points in a single game, which is a rare big score; in this battle against the Czech combination, the Chinese team made a strike error in the 7th set, but also at a critical moment, giving the opponent 4 points in a single game, and then the back hand game was successfully stolen by the opponent continuously, regretting losing the game.
The Chinese team has made too many mistakes in the competition that should not occur, the Chinese team is still too young, in addition to the need to improve the ability to resist pressure, there are many technical and tactical aspects that can be sculpted.
The World Series such as the Winter Olympics is a rare learning opportunity, only by devoting yourself to it and truly feeling the tense atmosphere of fighting wits and courage on the field can you know where the deficiencies and gaps are, and what is valuable is that the Chinese combination has always been full of confidence and sunshine.
Although this sport has not been the gold point of the Chinese team from the beginning, chinese players still have the courage to play, dare to express themselves, and can communicate with every opponent after the game like a gentleman, and can have fun on the Stage of the Winter Olympics, which is very good.
