Winter Olympics Flash Report | Not easy! The Chinese men's curling team finally won the first victory

In the past week, the Chinese curling team's difficult to win situation finally ended today.

In the third round of the Men's Curling Round Robin tournament of the Winter Olympics, which ended on February 11, the Chinese men's curling team composed of Xu Jingtao, Wang Zhiyu, Zou Qiang and Ma Xiuyue defeated Denmark 5:4 to win the first victory of the Winter Olympics.

At present, the Chinese team has a record of one win and two losses, and is tied for seventh place with the Russian Olympic Committee team.

The first match was lost 4-6 to Sweden, the runner-up of the PyeongChang Winter Olympics. In the second round, the Chinese team lost 4:7 to the Russian Olympic Committee team.

Captain Ma Xiuyue, who was interviewed after today's game, said that the first two games, especially the last game, were a pity, leading in the first few rounds, and losing a big point in the ninth inning, resulting in the loss of the whole game.

"We'll wrap up when we get back, don't be in a hurry when we're ahead, stay steady, play some simple balls, and try to get to the tenth inning before deciding the winner."

For today's game, Ma Xiuyue said that this game will implement the tactics formulated before to the end, "it is also the front lead, we are playing little by little, there is no hurry, so the effect is not bad." ”

On the afternoon of February 12, the Chinese men's curling team will play in the Italian team.

After winning this match against Denmark, the Chinese team ended the situation that there was no victory in the past week, and the men's team could ease the mood a little and face the round robin with a more confident attitude.

So far, the Chinese curling women's team has not won a single victory, losing 6-7 to Denmark and Switzerland in the first two matches, 6-7 and 5-7 respectively.
