After more than half a month of fierce fighting, the Beijing Winter Olympics officially came to an end tonight, and the Chinese delegation ushered in a historic breakthrough in this competition.
9 gold medals, 15 medals to create the best in the past, but also in the final gold medal list, is the third place, which is a qualitative leap for China's ice and snow that is gradually growing.
Since participating in the Winter Olympics for the first time in 1980, forty-two years have passed, and China's ice and snow development is developing step by step, carefully reviewing the ice passion of these ten days, there are touched and regrets, but also surprises and breakthroughs.
breakthrough
Since the ancient hero came out of the teenager, this sentence is most suitable for the two post-00s Gu Ailing and Su Yiming, and it is the two of them who came out of nowhere to help the Chinese team win three gold and one silver in the snow project.
At the same time, it also made the Chinese delegation's gold medal in the snow event surpass the ice event for the first time, and for them and the Chinese snow project, there are still infinite possibilities.
In the speed skating arena, Gao Tingyu relied on his super strength to break the long-term monopoly of the project by European and American athletes, and also achieved a breakthrough of zero gold medals in men's speed skating, and the record broken in the ice ribbon will be recorded in history forever.
At the same time, he also broke the spell that the flag bearer could not win the championship, and was awarded the standard-bearer of the Chinese delegation at the opening and closing ceremonies.
Of the 2 bronze medals we won, one of them came from a steel-framed snowmobile, which is undoubtedly an emerging project that has only developed in recent years for the Chinese team.
But Yan Wengang withstood the pressure to help the Chinese delegation achieve a zero breakthrough in this project, in addition to this project, our reserve strength is also increasingly sufficient, including Geng Wenqiang, who was not selected for the list this time.
The ice hockey program has always been dominated by European and American countries, but in this year's Winter Olympics, we were impressed by the scene of The Chinese men's ice hockey almost reversing Germany or the women's ice penalty shootout against Japan, and in this project, we are also taking our own slow but solid steps forward.
Hold
For Fan Kexin and Wu Dajing, the Beijing Winter Olympics may be their last, and in the later Wang Meng and Zhou Yang eras, Fan Kexin and Wu Dajing can be said to carry the short track speed skating women's team and the men's team respectively.
Although she still failed to win in the main 500 meters, a gold medal in the mixed relay was enough to make up for Fan Kexin's regrets, and the picture of her kneeling and kissing the ice rink emotionally after the women's 3000 meters relay was also frozen as eternal.
As the only gold medalist in the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics team, Wu Dajing experienced the golden age of his career, and when he arrived in Beijing, it seems that age, injury and physical fitness have gradually become the enemy that hinders him.
But he still helped the Chinese short track speed skating team to get the first gold of the event, and helped his teammate Ren Ziwei win the championship in the 1000 meters, and that "walk" infected countless spectators, which was his responsibility as the flag of the Chinese short track speed skating team.
Aerial skills Since Han Xiaopeng won the first gold medal in The 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin as a dark horse, the Chinese team seems to have been "cursed" in this event in the next four Winter Olympics, and it always seems to be so close and far from the final top podium.
In the list of Chinese freestyle skiing aerial skills at the Beijing Winter Olympics, we still see those familiar names: Xu Mengtao, Jia Zongyang, Qi Guangpu.
Even as the injuries grew older, the three Elders of the Four Dynasties of the Winter Olympics still insisted on the same gold medal dream, and finally Xu Mengtao and Qi Guangpu broke the silver medal curse for the women's team and the men's team respectively, and stood on the highest podium.
Four years ago in Pyeongchang, after losing 0.43 points to the German duo, Sui Wenjing said to Han Cong, who was slightly lost: "We still have to dream, and we will definitely win back at the doorstep of the family in four years." ”
On February 19, the pair skating free skating arena, the "onion barrel" withstood the huge pressure of the collective impact of the three Russian pairs, and helped the Chinese delegation win the ninth gold medal with a 0.63 point advantage.
And this is also after 12 years, China's figure skating pair skating once again defeated the top of the Olympic Games, another round of tiger year, some have changed and some have not changed. When the song ended but the people did not disperse, fifteen years together, they finally achieved each other.
regretful
Competitive sports are also full of regrets, Su Yiming's silver medal in slope obstacle skills has attracted questions from many professionals and spectators at home and abroad, and the referee has publicly admitted to scoring mistakes afterwards.
On the other hand, in the relatively weak snow projects, we also need to develop more vigorously and achieve more good results, so that we can have more voice.
Unfortunately, for the three veterans of aerial skills, it seems that fate is only slightly cruel to Jia Zongyang, who was second in PyeongChang four years ago, and he made mistakes in this year's mixed team competition and men's single event, and finally won a silver medal. Although there are regrets, he will always be the "uncrowned king" of the air skill team.
For the Chinese short track speed skating men's team led by Ren Ziwei and Wu Dajing, this tournament had a good start, but the ending did not seem so perfect.
In the men's 5,000m relay event in the final event of the short track speed skating finale, the Chinese team missed the medal because of Sun Long's own mistakes, and originally hoped to replace the silver medal in Pyeongchang with gold this year.
After the game, we also saw Wu Dajing's regrets, but this is another charm of competitive sports, and the young athletes of the Chinese team paid for their experience and tuition, and hoped that they could grow up as soon as possible and carry the banner.
In addition, in some of the snow sports that we are still in the process of developing, it is extremely important to be able to participate in and promote them to more Chinese people, among which we have to mention the female alpine skier Kong Fanying.
She achieved the full attendance of Chinese athletes in the alpine skiing individual (5 minor events) and mixed team events at the Winter Olympics, and all 6 events were completed, which can be called "Iron Man".
Another one worthy of our attention is the 19-year-old Jung, who won the 5th place in the women's big jump final on snowboarding, she is not only the first Chinese player to participate in the final of this event, but also created a very good result, the future is expected!
Four years and four years, the Winter Olympics have also accompanied the growth of generations of people, and the passions that belong to the arena and beyond will always be cherished in everyone's heart.
China Ice and Snow, please keep coming!
