Beijing News (reporter Xu Bangyin) on February 10, the "Ice Cube", the Chinese curling women's team lost to Denmark 6-7, and did not qualify for the Winter Olympics. As the only "veteran" in the team who has had the experience of the Winter Olympics, wang Rui, the third baseman, affirmed the performance of the whole team and looked forward to the future performance of the Chinese team.

In the match against Denmark, the Chinese team was once 3 points behind, tied in the 9th set, and the last set created great trouble for the opponent. If it were not for the danish captain Madeleine Dupont's lucky final shot, the Chinese team would have achieved a big reversal.

Wang Rui is the most experienced member of this young team, having participated in many World Championships, and Pyeongchang Winter Olympic partner Bade Xin won the 4th place in mixed doubles. Although she only became the third base of the Han Yu team after the Olympic selection match, after more than a month of running-in, she played steadily in the game and cooperated with her teammates tacitly.

"The characteristic of this curling project is that, whether you have partnered before or not, you can do your job after joining, and each position has its own role." In Wang Rui's view, their team, whether it is the first time to participate in the Olympic Games or the second winter Olympics, the mentality of their teammates is very stable and focused on the game.

Saying that he is a "veteran", in fact, on February 9, Wang Rui spent his 27th birthday. Looking back on the performance of the whole game, she believes that her teammates all played very well, "There was a set in the middle (the 7th set) that gave the opponent a chance to get a big score, but in the second half we did not give up and tried to play our own tactics. ”

Wang Rui said that this is the stage of the Winter Olympics, the strength of each participating team should not be underestimated, everyone's level is very high, they will pay attention to and study their opponents, but the most important thing is to do themselves.
