The sixth day of the Winter Olympics was called America Day by the American media. Because on this day, in just 7 hours, the American team won 3 gold medals in a row, not only surpassed China in the medal table, but also reached the third position with 4 gold, 5 silver and 1 bronze.
In the first 4 days of the Winter Olympics, the U.S. team did not play well, and there was not a single gold medal. It wasn't until the fifth day of the Winter Olympics that the U.S. team achieved a breakthrough in gold medal with veteran Lindsay Jacobelli chasing gold in the women's snowboarding steeplechase.
Then on the sixth day, the American team had a big outbreak. The first is the women's U-shaped pool competition on snowboarding, where the American, 21-year-old genius Chloe King, won the championship. At the PyeongChang Winter Olympics four years ago, she was the gold medalist. It is worth mentioning that Chloe-Kim's parents are both Korean. I don't know how the South Korean media felt after seeing Chloe King win the gold medal for the United States.
Three hours after Chloe King won the championship, American Chen Wei broke the world record in the men's singles final in figure skating. Hearing the name Chen Wei, everyone must think that this is not the name of Chinese? In fact, Chen Wei really has a relationship with China, his father came from a small place in the countryside of Guangxi, through his own efforts, Chen Wei's father has made great achievements in medical research, and later entered the United States for further study, he also settled in the United States, chen Wei also became an American citizen.
Chen Wei is a genius, at the age of 3, he became interested in ice sports, in order to improve the level of figure skating, Chen Wei also took ballet classes. In January 2021, in the men's singles competition of the American Figure Skating Championships held in Las Vegas, Chen Wei achieved the fifth consecutive national championship. The Winter Olympics figure skating men's single skating, Chen Wei can be described as a lone loser, he is not only far ahead of his opponents, but also broke the world record, can be described as a convincing win.
After the game, Chen Wei wore the American flag to celebrate, after Chen Wei had won the World Championship three times, this time winning the Winter Olympic Championship and achieving a Grand Slam. Chen Wei is only 22 years old, and it seems that he is going to dominate the figure skating men's singles event for a long time.
Four hours after Chen Wei won the gold medal, the aerial skill mixed team final, the American team upset the Chinese team to win the championship. This event is the dominant event of the Chinese team, and the Chinese team advanced to the finals with the first result in the first round.
In the first round of the finals, China's Xu Mengtao performed well, scoring 106.03 points, while American Ashley Caldwell made a mistake and only scored 88.86 points. However, in the second round, Jia Zongyang made a serious mistake, only scoring 96.02 points, and the American Christopher Lilis challenged the difficult action and succeeded, scoring 135 points. After two rounds, the U.S. team overtook the Chinese team.
In the last round, Qi Guangpu failed to create a miracle, and in the end, the Chinese team ranked second with a total score of 324.22 points, and the United States team won the gold medal with 338.34 points.
Jia Zongyang buried the team's gold medal because of his own mistakes, and he was very upset and shed tears on the spot. Xu Mengtao and Qi Guangpu both comforted him.
The U.S. team was excited, and their coaches fell to their knees and wept with joy and tears. In this project, their strength was originally inferior to that of the Chinese team, and they were also surprised to be able to win the gold medal.
No one wants to make a mistake, and Christopher Lillis' second jump was really good, so let's congratulate the American team. In the latest medal table, the Chinese team has fallen to seventh with 3 gold and 3 silver.
