Strolz won the men's all-around championship The Chinese player finished the match with a record best result

Yanqing, 10 Feb (Xinhua) -- On 10 February, the National Alpine Ski Center ushered in the men's all-around competition in alpine skiing. In the end, Austria's Johannes Stroortz won the gold medal for his outstanding performance in the slalom event, surpassing Norway's Alexander Hield. China's Zhang Yangming and Xu Mingfu successfully completed the competition and finally ranked 16th and 17th, which was the best result achieved by Chinese athletes in the Winter Olympics.

Alpine skiing men's all-around is divided into two sub-events, downhill and slalom, and the less the total time spent in the two sub-events, the higher the ranking. In the downhill race in the morning, Norway's Hield finished 1:43.12, but only slightly led Canada's James Crawford by a slight margin of 0.02 seconds, temporarily in the first place.

'I can't be sure of the final standings right now, because in the reels, anything can happen. Hield, believing his lead after the descent match, was not safe, saying: "I haven't tried to turn around the game in two years and I don't know how I'm going to perform. ”

Sure enough, Hilde's lead was soon broken by Stroz. The Austrian finished fourth in the downhill race but jumped to number one with a brilliant play in 47.56 seconds in the slalom.

In the end, Strolz won the gold medal with a total time of 2:31.43, Hield was runner-up and Crawford was bronze.

"My coach told me to be more aggressive and patient in the downhill races, and I tried to do it." Strötz is confident when talking about his ability to turn: "In the slalom race, all I have to do is believe in my strength, and believe in my training and dedication over the years. ”

The performance of the Chinese players is also remarkable. Zhang Yangming, a Chinese player who failed to finish the men's downhill competition on the 7th, challenged the downhill again and scored 1 minute 55 seconds 25 seconds. His teammate Xu Mingfu finished the downhill race with a time of 1:55.32.

"The body is really tired." Zhang Yangming, who has already participated in the downhill, super big slalom and men's all-around downhill competitions, admits it. "Then there's the technical race, and I feel like I can play better." Zhang Yangming said.

Indeed, Zhang Yangming, who specializes in technical sports, showed his strength in the afternoon slalom race, finishing 16th with a total time of 2:49.72, creating the best time for Chinese athletes in the winter Olympics alpine skiing men's all-around competition. Xu Mingfu made a mistake in the reels, but insisted on finishing the race, finishing 17th with a total time of 3:00.40. (End)
