On February 16, Beijing time, the competition for the tenth round of the women's curling round robin tournament of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics continued, and the host Chinese team met with the European powerhouse British team. In this Winter Olympics, the curling competition has entered the final stage of the competition, the Chinese men's curling team ushered in the closing day of the match day, while the Chinese women's curling team competed twice in one day. Facing the strong British team, the Chinese women's team defeated the opponent by a large score of 8:4. It is worth mentioning that from the Vancouver Winter Olympics to the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, the British team has always been a hurdle that the Chinese women's team cannot cross, and this time it won at the doorstep and successfully achieved revenge on the "nemesis".
In this Winter Olympics, the overall performance of the Chinese curling team was not as expected, and the mixed doubles team won only two games, and the men's and women's teams also lost consecutively, which disappointed many people. The Chinese women's team has been on the decline since the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Although veteran Wang Bingyu struggled to support and help the team complete the replacement of the old and the new, from the Sochi Winter Olympics to the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chinese women's curling team has never achieved satisfactory results. Looking at the world women's curling competition, Canada, Sweden, Switzerland and other countries continue to be in a popular rank, while several old Asian rivals Japan and South Korea also have the potential to catch up with the Chinese team.
From the previous games, the Chinese women's curling team exposed problems such as lack of delicacy in technology, disordered tactical execution, and habitual collapse of mentality. In the last round of matches, they were reversed by the Russian Olympic Committee in a good situation, and while they suffered consecutive defeats, they also let their opponents taste the first victory of the Beijing Winter Olympics. Before the match against the British women's team, the Chinese team ranked eighth, while the Swiss team and sweden team led the early qualification with a record of 6 wins, 1 loss and 5 wins and 2 losses respectively. After losing to the more general Strength of the Russian Olympic Committee team, former curling world champion Liu Yin said in an interview that the Current technology of the Chinese team has no advantage, and the lack of experience in the competition, as soon as the key moment will fluctuate, can not seize the opportunity to win.
Although it has not been able to qualify for the semi-finals of the Beijing Winter Olympics, everyone still hopes that the Chinese women's curling team can play its own style in the remaining matches. Against the British team, the Chinese team did not change in the lineup, first base Jiang Xindi, second base Zhang Lijun, third base Dong Ziqi and fourth baseman Wang Rui. After the game began, the Chinese team continued to implement the tactic of throwing the standing pot to tie the opponent, and the British team's third and fourth bases then used the method of hitting and spinning the pot to enter the camp, and finally successfully scored a point. In the second set, the Chinese team failed to score points in the back mobile phone meeting, and in the following set, they scored a point.
In the fourth game, the Chinese team was very effective in the use of tactics, and has been using 3 pots to pressure the opponent in the division, and the British team used the game to get a point and lead 2:1 in the big score. In the following games, the Chinese team and the British team came and went, and they failed to get big points in their respective backhand games. After the eighth inning, the two sides were tied 4-4. In the crucial ninth inning, the Chinese team had a backhand advantage, and the fourth baseman Wang Rui successfully scored three points for his own side in the final shot, and the Chinese team led the opponent 7:4.
