On the afternoon of the 11th, in the cross-country skiing men's 15 km traditional technical competition, a total of four athletes from the mainland participated, Hebei athlete Liu Rongsheng won the 47th place with 41 minutes 51 seconds 7, and Shang Jincai, who finished 41st, both broke through the historical best performance of mainland athletes in the Winter Olympics.

On the 12th, Zhao Dan, as the flag bearer of the opening ceremony of the Chinese sports delegation, finished ninth in the women's steel frame snowmobile competition with 4:09.52. Another Chinese player, Li Yuxi, finished fourteenth in 4:10.59, the first time a Chinese athlete competed in a women's steel-framed snowmobile at the Winter Olympics.
With the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, ice and snow sports continue to break through in multiple dimensions. Behind the prosperity is that technological innovation is providing new momentum. The physical potential and competitive ability of athletes are maximized by technology, and the training scene is also optimized by technology. Chai Jianzhong, director of the Hebei Sports Science Research Institute, and Zhao Huanbin, professor and doctoral supervisor of the School of Physical Education of Hebei Normal University, came to the studio to explain the story behind the Olympic Games empowered by science and technology.
The protagonists of the Olympic arena are athletes, but the passion and glory of the Olympics belong to all. Those tangible venues and invisible technologies born for the Winter Olympics will become the strength of a sports power and a healthy China, and work hand in hand with everyone to forge ahead, move forward bravely, and "move forward together to the future".
