The Beijing Winter Olympics entered the seventh competition day, the medal table underwent slight changes, the German team won a gold and silver in the men's steel frame snowmobile event to firmly rank first, Norway although it won a gold and a bronze but still did not surpass Germany to continue to rank second. The Dutch team also gained a lot, adding another gold and silver to rank third. For the Chinese team, today is a memorable day: Yan Wengang broke through history and got the bronze medal of the steel frame snowmobile!
Today was a bumper day for the Norwegian team, with a staggering 14 medals, including 6 gold, 3 silver and 5 bronze medals. Among the two new medals added today, Matt Olseb Reseland won the gold medal in the biathlon women's 7.5 km sprint and Klebo won the bronze medal in the men's 15 km (traditional technique) in cross-country skiing. At the Winter Olympics, Norway is hopeful that it will eventually finish first.
The German team, which had previously performed strongly, also gave strength today, temporarily retaining the first position with two medals above the steel frame snowmobile project. But for the German team, always under the threat of Norway behind them, it seems that it will be surpassed at any time, and the first place in the medal table of this Winter Olympics is likely to be produced in these two teams.
The Dutch team, which did not reach the top three of the medal table yesterday, ushered in an outbreak today. First Patrick Rust won the silver medal in the men's 10,000 meters of speed skating, and then the short track speed skater Schulting won the gold medal in the women's 1,000 meters. With the birth of these two medals, the total number of medals of the Dutch team came to 10, including 5 gold, 4 silver and 1 bronze.
It is worth mentioning that for the Chinese delegation, although the ranking in the medal table has not changed, it has achieved a breakthrough in the steel frame snowmobile project: Yan Wengang has won a bronze medal! At the same time, there was also good news in the men's short track speed skating competition: first the men's short track speed skating team composed of Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei, Sun Long and Li Wenlong advanced in the semi-finals of the 5000-meter relay, and then in the men's 500-meter preliminary round, all three participants of the Chinese team advanced.
The South Korean team won a silver medal for Choi Min-jin of short-track speed skating in 1000 meters. The Japanese team won 2 gold, 2 silver and 4 bronze, temporarily ranking 10th.
