Another Winter Olympics in China makes history! In the men's steel frame snowmobile race, two Chinese athletes played well, Yan Wengang won the bronze medal in 4:01.77 and another Chinese player Yin Zheng won the 5th place, which was the first time China won an Olympic medal in this event, making history.
The steel frame bobsleigh event is a 100-meter trapeze battle in athletics, representing speed and passion, and the feeling of galloping is fascinating, but also a certain danger, and China has not been much competitive in this event before, let alone Olympic medals.
During the Beijing Olympic cycle, the Chinese team made great progress in this event, and a number of world-class players stood out. Yan Wengang and Yin Zheng were among the representatives, and the two joined forces to fight. Yan Wengang's performance was very stable, and finally won the bronze medal in 4:01.77, and Yin Zheng finished 5th in 4:02.13, and the two teamed up to create history.
Yan Wengang's bronze medal is the first time that the Chinese team has won an Olympic medal in the steel frame snowmobile project, achieving a breakthrough of zero, which is gratifying. After the game, Yan Wengang said that this is my first trip to the Winter Olympics. Compared with the beginning of the Beijing Winter Olympic cycle, through 4 years of training, I have now made significant progress in both technology and mentality.
Yan Wengang also thanked many people: thank you to the team for giving me the precious opportunity to participate in the competition, thank the coaches and team staff for accompanying me day and day in the past 4 years, and thank my family and friends who have always supported me. This night is worth celebrating not only for me, but also for the workers who work hard for China's ice and snow, without your efforts, there would be no way I will fight for the motherland, thank you.
After the race, the guest of honor was Zhang Hong, a former Chinese speed skater, who took a group photo with Yan Wengang and excitedly wrote: Historical breakthrough, Yan Wengang won the bronze medal in the men's steel frame snowmobile race, and I am honored to be the guest of honor.
