Zhangjiakou, 9 Feb (Reporters Wang Liang, Sun Longfei, han Wenxun) On the 9th, the Beijing Winter Olympics Snowboarding Women's U-Shaped Track Skills Qualification Tournament was held in Zhangjiakou. The competition was played in two rounds, with the top 12 finishers with the best single round results advancing to the final. Four players from the Chinese team achieved full participation. Liu Jiayu scored only 15.25 points for mistakes in the first round, and in the second round she withstood the pressure and completed a full set of actions. In the end, she scored 72.25 points and advanced to the final as seventh.
"Participating in the Winter Olympics at the 'doorstep' is my motivation to continue for 4 years." Liu Jiayu once said. At the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, Liu Jiayu finished second, helping the Chinese snowboard team to make a breakthrough. But in the new Olympic cycle, she is plagued by injuries. She is very satisfied with being able to maintain normal training every day. "It's really my fourth Winter Olympics, but I want to keep playing for the fifth." Liu Jiayu said.
Like Liu Jiayu, another Chinese player, Cai Xuetong, is also participating in the Winter Olympics for the fourth time. At Genting Ski Park, the seven-time World Cup winner was very relaxed and chatted about the music of the game after the game. Her first round of action "flowing clouds and flowing water", scored 83.25 points and ranked in the top three, and securely got the ticket to the final. In the second round, when challenging the more difficult internal rotation, Cai Xuetong failed to control her body and made a mistake, she said: "The final continues to try!" The other two Chinese players, Qiu Leng pressed the line to the final, and Wu Shaotong regretted that he stopped the qualification round.
The Men's U-Shaped Track Skills Qualification Tournament for Snowboarding started on the same day, and the Chinese team participated in full quota for the first time. In the end, the Chinese team Gu Ao, Fan Xuebing and Wang Ziyang ranked 14th, 16th and 21st respectively, and none of them qualified for the final.
