Steel Frame Snowmobile: Yan Wengang Wins The Record Zhao Dan temporarily ranks fourth in women's place
Yanqing National Bobsleigh Center witnessed a major breakthrough in China's snow sports on the 11th - in the final two rounds of the men's steel frame bobsleigh competition held that night, 24-year-old Yan Wengang played well, winning the bronze medal with a total score of 4:01.77, winning the first medal of the project for the Chinese team.

Chinese women will not hesitate to let go. In the first two rounds of the women's steel frame snowmobile race on the same day, Zhao Dan and Li Yuxi ranked fourth and tenth respectively, and also had great hopes of impacting the medal.
The steel-framed snowmobile, which has a top speed of more than 130 kilometers per hour, has been "kicked out" of the Winter Olympics twice due to danger. The Chinese steel frame snowmobile men's team, which officially formed the national team in 2015, improved rapidly, and in 2018, it entered the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics and won the 13th place. This time, he participated in the Winter Olympics for the second time and achieved a breakthrough again.
Yan Wengang, 24, was a long jumper for the Tianjin Athletics Team and entered the newly formed national steel frame snowmobile training team in 2016 through cross-border cross-sports selection.
Chinese women's steel frame snowmobilers are participating in the Winter Olympics for the first time. Zhao Dan, the 19-year-old female flag bearer of the opening ceremony of the Chinese delegation, is also a crossover athlete from the track and field. In the last two rounds of the 12th, Zhao Dan and Li Yuxi are also expected to compete for medals and establish a higher starting point for the Winter Olympic journey of the Chinese women's steel frame snowmobile.

Short Track Speed Skating: Women's 1000m Missed the Final Wu Dajing advanced to the top of the 500m table
For Chinese audiences, the short track speed skating competition on the 11th brought a roller coaster-like experience, with regret and joy alternating.
In the women's 1000m 1/4 final, the defending champion and Dutch star Schultin set a new world record in 1:26.514 and won the championship. Regrettably, the Chinese team that wanted to impact the medal was completely destroyed, and none of the 3 players Qu Chunyu, Han Yutong and Zhang Chutong entered the semifinals.
Short track speed skating in the men's 500 meters is the only gold medal event of the Chinese team at the last Winter Olympics. In the preliminary round of the night, the defending champion Wu Dajing, the double champion Ren Ziwei of this Olympic Games and the "post-00s" young player Sun Long jointly went out to advance. Among them, Wu Dajing and Ren Ziwei are the first place in their respective groups, and Wu Dajing's 40.23 seconds is the first among all the participants, creating a perfect start for his road to defending his title.
The men's 5,000-meter relay was the silver medal event of the Chinese team at the last Winter Olympics and the focus of the gold medal at the Current Winter Olympics. In the semi-finals, the Chinese team, composed of Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei, Sun Long and Li Wenlong, the silver medalist in the men's 1000 meters of the Winter Olympics, was in the leading position many times in the first half of the competition.
However, after half a ride, there was a sudden accident, due to a collision with the Canadian skate, Li Wenlong fell and slid off the track. Although the Chinese team then continued to stubbornly catch up with the opponent, it only ranked fourth in the group.
Just as the audience sighed, the referee announced the results of the deliberations and decided that the Chinese team would directly advance to the final. Former short track speed skating Olympic champion Yang Yang said in an interview with the media that according to the new rules of the International Skating Federation, when an uncontrollable situation such as an ice knife collision on the field causes an accident, the referee can make a ruling based on the position of the relevant athlete on the field at that time and other factors to decide whether the relevant athlete can qualify.
