On February 10, the first two rounds of the men's steel frame bobsleigh competition at the Beijing Winter Olympics were held at the National Bobsleigh Center "Snow Dragon". Yin Zheng, a Chinese team player who participated in the Winter Olympics for the first time and an athlete from Hebei Province, played steadily, and temporarily ranked 7th after the end of the two rounds. It is worth mentioning that he set a track starting record of 4.60 seconds in the first round of skating. Another Chinese player, Yan Wengang, is provisionally ranked No. 3.

A total of 25 athletes participated in the men's steel frame bobsleigh competition at the Beijing Winter Olympics, with the first two rounds of the race played on the morning of February 10 and the last two rounds on the evening of February 11. According to the rules of the competition, after the athletes' results in the first three rounds are added together, the top 20 athletes advance to the fourth round of competition and determine the champion.

In the previous three-day official training of the steel frame snowmobile of the Beijing Winter Olympics, Yin Zheng participated in all 6 rounds of skating, and the results ranked fifth, eighteenth, fifth, second, first and second respectively. Among them, his single wheel maximum speed of 129.94 kilometers per hour.

In the first round of the race, Yin Zheng started in 21st place, and the final result was 1:00.74, temporarily ranking 7th. In the second round of gliding, Yin Zheng started in 14th place, the performance was improved to 1:00.71, and the final two rounds of the total result was 2:01.45, temporarily ranking 7th.

"There were still some small mistakes in the first round of the round, but fortunately, the adjustment was made in time in the second round, and the overall route was still relatively good." After the race, Yin Zheng said, "In the previous training, we would record the first view of the track every day, and when we did not train on the track, we would use our mobile phones to simulate sliding to overcome our fear. ”

"Both the equipment and the coasting aspect have to be adjusted again." Looking forward to the third round of the competition, Yin Zheng said, "I hope that tomorrow's race will be in better and better shape, including starting, sliding, stabilizing, and playing at the level of usual training." ”

Yan Wengang's first round of skating was 1:00.43, and the total time of the two-wheeled skating was 2:01.08, and both rounds of sliding temporarily ranked 3rd. Germany's Christopher Grotecher finished at the top of the table with a two-wheeled glide of 2:00.33. (Hebei Daily reporter Zhang Jing)
