Beijing, February 11 (Reporter Guo Chaokai) The first and second rounds of the Beijing Winter Olympic Women's Steel Frame Snowmobile Competition were played at the National Bobsleigh Center on the 11th, and Zhao Dan, a "post-00s" youngster who served as the female flag bearer of the Chinese delegation at the opening ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, performed well, temporarily ranking 4th with a time of 2 minutes 04.66 seconds in two rounds. Australia's Jacqueline Narakot is provisionally ranked 1st with a good time of 2:04.34, and another Chinese player, Li Yuxi, is temporarily 10th.

Zhao Dan, 19, is the youngest player in the Chinese steel frame snow team, but she has a "big general demeanor" on the field. In 2020, Zhao Dan represented China at the Winter Youth Olympic Games and finished 7th; in the 2021/2022 season, she won the Intercontinental Cup in Innsbruck.

At this Winter Olympics, Zhao Dan and Li Yuxi represented China, which was the first time that Chinese female steel frame snowmobilers participated in the Winter Olympics, achieving China's breakthrough in the project.

The women's steel frame bobsleigh race lasts for 2 days, with 2 wheels of skating per day, and the shortest of the 4-wheeled slick wins. The third and fourth rounds of the competition will be played on the evening of the 12th, when the champion and runner-up of the project will be determined.
