Zhao Dan: From the varsity team to the national team step by step, I have no regrets

Yanqing, 12 Feb (Xinhua) -- Germany's Hannah Naizer won the gold medal in the women's steel frame bobsleigh competition at the Beijing Winter Olympics on February 12. China's Zhao Dan made a mistake in the third slide and finished ninth.

The Beijing Winter Olympics steel frame snowmobile race will be a total of 4 wheels of slabing. In the first two rounds of the skate on the 11th, Nazawa temporarily ranked second, behind Australia's Jacqueline Naracote. In her third glide on the evening of the 12th, she set a new track record in the women's event with 1:01.44 and rose to the first place. Her final slide was also successfully completed, winning the title in 4:07.62.

Zhao Dan, who ranked fourth in the first two skates, made a mistake in the third skate, and the ranking fell to ninth. Her last slip was smooth, but she was powerless to return to heaven. She finished 4:09.52 on all four runs, ranking ninth out of 25 contestants.

Zhao Dan regretted her mistake, but looking back at the progress she had made in practicing the steel frame snowmobile for four years, she was very satisfied with herself. She said: "In the past four years, I started to be on a varsity team, step by step to the national team. I don't feel sorry for myself because I'm writing my own history every step of the way. I want to cherish the present and create a better future. ”

Naracote and Holland's Kimberly Bose won silver and bronze in 4:08.24 and 4:08.46, respectively. Another Chinese player, Li Yuxi, finished 14th with a time of 4:10.59.

The Yanqing National Bobsleigh Center at the Beijing Winter Olympics has produced 6 gold medals so far, all of which have been taken away by German athletes.
