On February 10, after the first day of the men's steel frame bobsleigh race at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, Yan Wengang, a Chinese player who temporarily ranked third in the total results of the two-wheeled skating, told this reporter after the game that he made a mistake in the first round of skating, but made timely adjustments in the second round, and for the performance of the first two skates, he gave himself 8 points. He hopes tomorrow's game will be better.
In the first round of today's regular round, Yan Wengang was in third place with a time of 1:00.43. The second round of the glide ended with 1:00.65, and the total result of the two rounds was 2:01.08, ranking third.
For the performance of the first two slides, Yan Wengang gave himself 8 points. He believes there is room for improvement in performance in some corners. "Today I made a big mistake in that ring bend, and it can be said that it was a very serious mistake that would affect the performance in the back. In fact, I was only a few tenths of a second away from the first-ranked German player in front of that corner, and when this corner came out, I was directly 0.4 seconds slower than my opponent, which definitely had a great impact on the performance. ”
Despite his own mistakes, Yan Wengang did not have time to be depressed, saying that the mistakes in front of him would help him adjust in time in the back of the taxi and better control the sled over the corner, without letting it affect his mood.

Looking forward to the two-wheeled slab that will determine the medalowing for tomorrow night, Yan Wengang said, "If I can achieve results like today, I am more satisfied, but I still hope to play better." ”
