Winter Olympics today's highlights: Ren Ziwei will rush gold again tonight

The Beijing Winter Olympics are expected to produce six gold medals today, with the Chinese delegation winning the gold spot at the short track speed skating arena at the Capital Gymnasium.

The first short track speed skating competition will start at 19:00 today, first playing the men's 1500m 1/4 final, and the Chinese team will be played by Ren Ziwei, Sun Long and Zhang Tianyi. The semi-finals and Group A finals of the event will be held at 20:29 and 21:20 respectively. In this project, Ren Ziwei has the strength to impact the gold medal. This season, he won the World Cup in Hungary and the Netherlands in the 1500m event, topping the world cup rankings in the event. Compared with the 1000 meters, Ren Ziwei has more confidence and strength in the 1500 meters, coupled with the fact that at this Winter Olympics, he and his teammates first won the first gold for the Chinese delegation in the short track speed skating mixed relay competition, which boosted the morale of the entire team and won the gold medal in the men's 1000 meters, which made people look forward to tonight's 1500 meters competition. In addition to the men's 1500 meters, tonight's short track speed skating will also feature the women's 1000 meters preliminary round and the 3000 meters relay semi-finals, in which the Chinese women's team is in the same group as Italy, Poland and the Netherlands.

The curling arena began a men's round robin tournament today, with the Chinese team facing their first opponent, Sweden, at 20:05. The best result in the history of the Winter Olympics for the Chinese men's pot is the fourth place in the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, and the Beijing Winter Olympics is also the return of the Chinese men's pot to the Winter Olympics after an 8-year gap. The Chinese men's pot is captained by Ma Xiuyue, born in 1991, with an average age of 29.2 years old, all team members are participating in the Winter Olympics for the first time, and the lack of experience in the competition is the main shortcoming. For the Chinese male pot, participating in the Winter Olympics at the "doorstep", how to adjust the mentality and give full play to the level of usual training is the key.

In addition, the snowboard women's U-shaped track skill two-round qualification competition will be held this morning, the project is the mainland snowboarding early, the rapid development of small events, two Winter Olympics "four dynasties elders" Liu Jiayu and Cai Xuetong will bring Qiu Leng, Wu Shaotong to the field.
