The day's double bobsleigh race is divided into two rounds, two athletes operate a sledge twice, the time of the two rounds is added up, the shorter the time, the higher the ranking. Unlike single-player bobsleigh competitions, the double bobsleigh not only tests the excellent individual ability of the athletes, but also tests the cooperation of the partner.

Huang Yebo/Peng Junyue began to partner in 2018, and when he first formed a team, "every trip will be flipped, and it may even slide once and turn twice, continue to sit back and then flip again." ”

The tacit understanding between the two gradually cultivated in hundreds of taxis. Both of them were satisfied with the results achieved at the Beijing Winter Olympics, "Both people played very well and did not mess around." Huang Yebo said that this is the best result of the two skating in the "Snow Dragon" this year, "I am very happy, I enjoy the process of the competition." ”

The goal of participating in the Beijing Winter Olympics has been achieved, but the two are not going to stop there. Huang Yebo said: "Standing on the highest podium is the goal of every competitive sports athlete, and we are also working hard for it. We may not be able to achieve this goal anytime soon, but we have agreed to participate in many Winter Olympics together. ”
