Beijing News (reporter Xu Bangyin) On the afternoon of February 11, in the curling women's round robin tournament held by the "Ice Cube", the Chinese curling women's team lost 4-8 to the United States, suffering 3 consecutive losses in the round robin. Han Yu, the fourth baseman and captain of the Chinese team, said after the game, "For me, every game I play now is to accumulate experience and help me grow faster." ”
Born in 2000, Han Yu is the youngest member of the Chinese women's curling team and the youngest captain of the 10 participating women's teams. Successive defeats to Denmark, Switzerland and the United States, Han Yu admitted that as a young team, the state of the game is somewhat unstable, "This is the problem of our young players, and everyone will continue to sum up experience and learn lessons through the game." ”
Looking back on the match with the American team, Han Yu specifically mentioned the first two games, due to the change of the race track, she and her teammates did not grasp the law of the ice surface in time, "Today's playing field has become astringent, which indirectly led to major mistakes. I am also adjusting my mental state in a timely manner and trying to find a sense of familiarity with the venue. ”

Spectators who follow the Chinese curling women's team should note that whether they are leading or lagging behind, the four players always encourage each other, smile and communicate tactics, which is a good reflection of team cohesion. Han Yu revealed that several other teammates will call her "Lao Han", which is a nickname that has been extended since 2017, "At that time, the word 'old' was popular in the team, and I became Old Han." ”
As the oldest member of the team, third baseman Wang Rui pointed out that no matter what the team's record and situation, since standing on the Winter Olympics, everyone's goal is to win the game, "to think in one place, to make a strong effort, to encourage each other to move forward." Talking about the next 6 round robin matches, Han Yu said: "No matter who the opponent is, we must first do ourselves. ”
