Yan Wengang and Yin Zheng steel frame snowmobile compete for medals
On the 11th, the steel frame snowmobile will produce the first gold medal of this Winter Olympic Games. After the end of the second round, Yan Wengang and Yin Zheng, who played for the first Winter Olympics, ranked 3rd and 7th respectively, and the latter set a track departure record in 4.60 seconds in the first round.

The steel frame snowmobile project has a history of more than 100 years abroad, but China only formed its first professional sports team in 2015. In the face of a series of unfavorable factors such as the lack of professional training and competition venues in China, the Chinese steel frame snowmobile team members represented by Geng Wenqiang struggled to catch up and constantly made breakthroughs.
In the Winter Olympic cycle, Yan Wengang and Yin Zheng were selected for their outstanding performances in the team selection competition, and their goal is to strive to surpass Geng Wenqiang in the last Winter Olympic Games to achieve the 13th place in the history of the best ranking in this event.
For the performance of the first two skates, Yan Wengang gave himself 8 points, and the 2 points deducted were due to mistakes in the first round of skating.
"There was a big mistake in the first round of the ring, which was very slow", before the round he and the first-ranked German player spent the same time, but after the problem in the round bend, he was about 0.4 seconds behind.
For the later matches, Yan Wengang said: "If I can be like before, I am quite satisfied, but I hope it will be better than before." ”
