China's steel frame snowmobile makes history
Today (February 11) at 9:55 pm, the fourth round of the men's steel frame snowmobile at the Beijing Winter Olympics began a fierce competition, and China's Yan Wengang won the bronze medal with a time of 4 minutes 01.77 seconds, achieving a new breakthrough for China's steel frame snowmobile.
China's Yin Zheng finished fifth with a time of 4:02.13. Previously, the best result of the Chinese men's steel frame snowmobile winter Olympics was geng Wenqiang's 13th place at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.
In the third round of the men's curling round robin tournament at the Beijing Winter Olympics in the morning, the Chinese men's curling team composed of Xu Jingtao, Wang Zhiyu, Zou Qiang and Ma Xiuyue defeated the Danish team 5:4 to win the first victory at the Beijing 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.
In the morning, the women's steel frame snowmobile of the Beijing Winter Olympics ended the first two rounds of competition. Zhao Dan, a 19-year-old youngster who served as the flag bearer for the opening ceremony for the Chinese delegation, skated a time of 2:04.66 after two rounds of competitions, ranking fourth, retaining the hope of impacting the medal. Another Chinese girl, Li Yuxi, temporarily finished tenth with a total of 2:05.26 in two rounds.
In the women's 1/4 final of the short track speed skating in the evening, none of the three Chinese women advanced. In the later short track speed skating men's 500m preliminaries, Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei and Sun Long all successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.
In the men's 5000m relay semifinals, the Chinese team sent Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei, Sun Long and Li Wenlong, and the opponents in the same group were Canada, Italy and Japan. Wu Dajing started from the first stick, the Chinese team and Canada alternately led, and when there were about 10 laps left in the game, Li Wenlong fell out of the ice due to the collision of ice knives and Canadian players, although the results were affected by the fourth place in the group, but the referee determined that he was qualified to directly advance to the final of Group A.
