Bach, | at the Winter Olympics, encouraged the Chinese team to look forward to a better Winter Olympics in Milan

On the evening of February 9, the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics competed for the double bobsleigh event at the National Bobsleigh Center "Snow Tour Dragon", and the Chinese combination Huang Yebo/ Peng Junyue played in the Winter Olympics for the first time, and finally ranked 17th with a total score of 2:01.572. As he walked off the field, IOC President Bach, who was watching from the sidelines, exchanged views with the two men and took a group photo to show encouragement. Bach said he hoped the two would continue to work hard and look forward to their better results at the Milan Winter Olympics in four years.

As the only chinese team to participate, 25-year-old Huang Yebo and 21-year-old Peng Junyue played normally in the first round of skating, finishing in 1 minute 0.732 seconds, ranking last among all 17 pairs of participants. In the second round, the two skated 1:00.840 and ranked 17th with a total time of 2:01.572.

For this achievement, Huang Yebo admitted that the performance was not ideal, and the gap with the world's first-class players was still very large. He was previously a sprinter and joined the Chinese bobsleigh team through cross-discipline selection. He believes that he and his partner have gained a lot of experience through this competition, and although the results are low, they will not stop moving forward, and they will be able to narrow the gap with the world's strongest teams after 4 years.

Peng Junyue said that the first time he stood on the Winter Olympic field, he skied twice and enjoyed it very much, and this game was the best result for the two of them to skate this year. He was previously a basketball player, and was selected to join the bobsleigh team across disciplines, and physical coordination was his own characteristic. "I just took a picture with Chairman Bach, who told us to stay in good shape, train well, and one day walk on the podium. I was very excited to hear it, and I told myself that I must persevere. Peng Junyue said.
