The solemn and majestic "March of the Volunteer Army" sounded at the award ceremony, and the Chinese team was the champion! On the afternoon of October 30th, the final of the 2021 World Wheelchair Curling Championships in Beijing Kuntai was held in the "Ice Cube" of the National Aquatics Center, and the Chinese team defeated Sweden 5-3 with Wang Haitao's last throw, winning the World Championship for the second time in the history of the team.

"I just want to say that only such a game can train the team! The Swedish team played to the extreme, but our players were more calm and withstood the pressure! As head coach Yue Qingshuang said, the final of the Chinese team was not easy to win. Although the Chinese team led 2-0 in the first half, the Swedish team suddenly exerted its strength in the second half, taking advantage of the Chinese team's last throw error in the 5th, 6th and 7th sets to score 3-2. In the crucial 8th inning, the Chinese team with the advantage of backhand withstood the pressure, Wang Haitao completed a wonderful blow with the last blow, and the Chinese team grabbed 1 point to drag the game into the overtime game. The Swedish team, which had the advantage of the backhand, became more and more courageous in the overtime game, laying a number of obstacle pots above the base camp, and at the critical moment, Wang Haitao made a super difficult pass in the last throw, so that the team's pot firmly occupied the scoring position. Under the pressure, the Swedish team made a last throw mistake, and the Chinese team scored 2 points in this round, winning 5-3 on aggregate, and winning the wheelchair curling world championship again after 2019.

Yue Qingshuang, who was still excited in an interview after the game, believed that the overall performance of the Chinese team at this World Championship was satisfactory, but there were still aspects that needed to be improved, "Some of the games were not very smooth, and there were still some technical deficiencies, which we all needed to continue to improve." However, this time to enter the semi-finals, the final, and finally win the championship, so that the players can find confidence. Our goal is not just the World Championships, but the Beijing Winter Paralympic Games in March next year, and we will definitely work harder and more in the next training. (Zhao Xiaosong)
