A sweet couple at the Beijing Winter Olympics

Hungarian short-track speed skaters Liu Shaolin and Liu Shaoang brothers are very famous in China, and Liu Shaoang also won the men's 500 meters championship on the evening of the 13th. In fact, there are many family groups in the Beijing Winter Olympics, and while they are fighting hard, they are also talking about the inheritance power of sportsmanship.

Four years ago in Pyeongchang, the Hamilton siblings of the United States competed in a curling mixed doubles competition. This year, although they are apart, they can still cheer each other up in the men's and women's curling arenas. Sister Rebecca said, "It's great to have family around." According to the Associated Press, curling itself is a kind of "family sport" in Europe and the United States, passed down like parents' heirlooms and recipes.

In the Danish curling team, there are also a pair of Dupont sisters - Denise Dupont and Madeleine Dupont. Sister Madeleine said that although she and her sister often quarreled over practicing curling as a child, now competing together "makes our bond stronger". Madeleine said in an interview with the Global Times reporter a few days ago: "The Danish team is led by my sister and me, and there are 3 young players aged 22. In my opinion, it's the perfect combination of young, energetic and more experienced players. ”

The Danish delegation also set a record for the highest number of "brothers and sisters in action" at the Winter Olympics, with a total of 4 siblings in the men's and women's ice hockey teams, including the Danish women's team captain Josefina Jacobson and her brothers Julian Jacobson, Asperup siblings, Russel siblings and Hansen siblings. 'We played hockey together when we were young, and it was my brother Julian who made me a goalkeeper." Josephina Jacobson said, "We've been working hard and we all want to win. It's so exciting to be able to participate in the Winter Olympics. ”

In addition to the warmth of brothers and sisters, there is also the sweetness of the husband and wife file. The Norwegian duo of Menus Nedregoten and Christine Skarslien, who won the silver medal in the curling mixed doubles, are a couple. In addition, Czech curlers Thomas Paul and Susanna Paulova are both partners on the field and in life.

The inheritance of the father's business by the son reflects the beauty of the inheritance of sports. Joanne Reed, who aspired to win a biathlon winter medal for Team USA, her mother Beth Hayden and uncle Eric Hayden rode at the 1980 Winter Olympics at Lake Placid and together wrote the legend of winning 5 gold and 1 bronze. In Beijing, Austria's Johannes Stroortz won the gold medal in the men's all-around alpine skiing. At the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, it was his father who won the event. Now they are the first father and son in the history of the Winter Olympics to win a gold medal in the same event. "Winning the gold medal like my father is the moment when my dream came true, and this gold medal has a meaning beyond ordinary for me!"
