On March 8, Beijing time, on the day of the Three Women's Day, the competition of the 2022 Winter Paralympic Games continued, and on the 4th match day, a total of 6 gold medals were born, of which the Chinese team continued to win gold medals, the biathlon men's mid-range sitting group competition ended at the National Biathlon Center, China's Liu Mengtao won the gold medal, and the rest of the Chinese players Liu Zixu, Wang Tao and Zhu Yunfeng won the 5th, 7th and 10th places respectively.
The gold medal won by Liu Mengtao was the eighth gold medal of the Chinese team in this Winter Paralympic Games, and in the subsequent competition, the female player of the Chinese team, Wang Yue, won a bronze medal in the two women's middle distance visual impairment category. Coupled with the harvest of the previous 3 match days, at present, the medal performance of the Chinese team has reached 8 gold, 8 silver and 11 bronze, a total of 27 medals, whether it is the gold medal income or the total number of medals, it is a well-deserved 1st, and it is far away from other representative teams.
On the other side, the Ukrainian team had another big harvest on matchday 4, with biathlon women's mid-distance standing events, Ukrainian athletes taking the top three, Irina Bouil winning the gold medal, Alexandra Konova winning the silver medal and Lyudmila Lyashenko winning the bronze medal. China's Guo Yujie finished fourth, passing by the medal.
With the gold, silver and bronze of this project, and the harvest of 2 silver and 1 bronze of other 3 projects, Ukraine won 6 medals in a single day, and the momentum is very rapid. To this end, Ukraine has also maintained the ranking of 2nd place in the medal table, which is currently 5 gold, 6 silver and 3 bronze with a total of 14 medals. Previously, Ukraine had created a single-day 3 gold achievement on matchday 1, and its strength was also very strong. Considering that there is currently a war in Ukraine, athletes can still have such excellent performances, which deserves applause from the outside world!
The rest of the gold medals on matchday 4 were divided between Canada, Germany and the United States, of which the United States team won 2 gold medals, but due to the unsatisfactory results of the first three matchdays, the United States team slipped in the ranking after winning 2 gold medals, from the original 7th to 8th place. At present, the performance of the American team is 2 gold, 6 silver and 2 bronze, however, the United States and Germany in front of them are 2 gold, the 4th Japan to the 6th Slovakia are only 3 gold, the American team has a lot of room to overtake, in addition, the United States ranked 5th with a total of 10 medals, which is not bad.
