On February 19, 2022, Beijing time, the penultimate matchday of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the United States team missed an important gold medal. In the freestyle ski men's U-shaped track skills final, four U.S. players scored gold, but lost to New Zealand's Nico Portios by 2.25 points. After missing this gold medal, the number of gold medals of the American team is still 8, and our Chinese team has another gold point, which is expected to kill the American team on the gold medal list.
Just like the Gold Medal List of the Tokyo Olympic Games, the Chinese team and the United States team are fiercely competing in the Winter Olympic Gold Medal List. The game entered the penultimate match day, the number of gold medals of both teams was 8, the United States team had more silver medals, temporarily ranked third, and the Chinese team ranked fourth in the gold medal list.
Entering the penultimate match day, both teams still have a gold point, the Chinese team is figure skating pair skating, and the American team is the freestyle ski men's U-shaped track skill.
The U.S. team took the lead in the gold medal, and in the freestyle ski men's U-shaped track skill final, four players from the U.S. team played in the final, including Aaron Bronck, who ranked first in the preliminary round. As a result, Aaron Bronck failed to withstand the pressure, compared to the preliminaries, his performance was particularly unsatisfactory, it can be said that he lost his standard, the highest score in the three rounds was only 78.25 points, did not qualify for the podium, and finally ranked 7th, which is a cold goal.
The best American player was David Wise, who scored 90.75 points in the first round, but there was someone better than him, and that was New Zealand's Nico Portios. In the first round, Nico Portios's whole set of moves was difficult and of high quality, and he performed quite well, scoring 93.00 points, although there were errors in the next two rounds, but 93.00 points helped him lead to the end and win the gold medal.
David Wise of the United States team won the silver medal and another American player, Alex Ferreira, won the bronze medal. The failure to impact the gold medal means that the total number of gold medals of the American team is stuck at 8, and there is no longer any impact gold medal project. Because the U.S. team performed poorly in several team competitions, men's hockey, women's hockey, men's curling, and women's curling all missed the gold medal.
In this case, the Chinese team is very likely to beat the United States team on the gold medal list, and Sui Wenjing/Han Cong will play in the pair skating competition in the evening, they are ranked first in the short program, and the hope of winning the championship is very large. Once this gold medal is won, the Chinese team is expected to beat the United States and rank among the top three gold medals, let us wait and see!
