Summary of China Winter Olympics: Hardware innovation has its own significance, and traditional weaknesses still exist.
The five gold medals have their own meanings.
In the 16 Ice and Snow War, the China delegation won 5 gold medals, 2 silver medals and 4 gold medals, both of which were the best in history.
In the previous two Winter Olympics, the skaters won two gold medals. On the 9th competition day of Vancouver Winter Olympics, just after the second half of this Winter Olympics, the China delegation won the third gold medal. After that, the ice and snow national team won two more gold medals in the short track speed skating event, making the number of gold medals of the delegation fixed at five. Hardware 1 1 medals also made the China delegation, which was the first time that China was among the top ten gold medals in the Winter Olympics.
The five gold medals won by the ice and snow national players all have special historical significance.
Figure skater Shen Xue/Zhao Hongbo won the first gold medal for the China delegation. At noon on February 16, Beijing time, the legendary couple who went to the Winter Olympics for the fourth time lived up to expectations and won the gold medal with a total score of 2 16.57, which also set a new record for the total score of the International Skating Federation. This is China's first gold medal in the Winter Olympics. Another China team, Pang Qing/Tong Jian, won the silver medal, which made China win the first place in the same event in the Winter Olympics.
Three days later, the famous short track speed skater Wang Meng successfully defended the women's 500-meter champion, becoming the first China athlete to successfully defend her title in the Winter Olympics. In the past four years, Wang Meng has never met an opponent in the 500-meter race, and he also shined brilliantly in the Vancouver Winter Olympics, breaking the Winter Olympics record in the 500-meter preliminaries, 1/4 finals and semi-finals. Wang Meng's winning the championship also enabled China players to achieve the "three consecutive championships" in this project.
In the women's short track speed skating1500m final held at 2 1 noon Beijing time, Junior Zhou won the championship, which also set a new record: the delegation won a record number of gold medals, filling the gap of one gold medal in the Winter Olympics. It is worth mentioning that Zhou Yang fought alone in the final, relying on strength and fighting spirit to overcome the siege of three Korean players and European and American strong players, and at the same time broke the monopoly of Korean players on the gold medal in the Winter Olympics. Zhou Yang was less than 19 years old when he won the championship, becoming the first China athlete to win the Winter Olympics when he was less than 20 years old.
The short track speed skating women's national team won the gold medal with great momentum. In the women's 3000m relay final held four days later, China, the second team to cross the finish line, won the gold medal because of a technical foul by a Korean opponent. More significant than dramatic achievements, this gold medal won many firsts for the China Winter Olympics delegation: it broke the last "blind spot" of women's short track speed skating, which was the first gold medal won by the China delegation at the Winter Olympics, and Wang Meng, who won three gold medals in two competitions, became the first person in the history of China Winter Olympics.
The 27th Beijing time was the last gold medal day of the China delegation. Short track speed skaters live up to expectations. When Wang Meng took the lead in crossing the finish line, this magical team completed the great cause of winning all the Winter Olympics titles and became the first team to write myths in China Ice and Snow Project. Wang Meng herself has created a series of the best in the world and the best in China: she won six medals in two Winter Olympics, becoming the first female short track speed skater in the history of the Winter Olympics, tying the record of Korean star Chun Lee kyung Li winning four gold medals, which is the first China player to win the triple crown in the Winter Olympics. ...
Traditional advantages have both advantages and disadvantages.
Aerial skills and speed skating are the traditional strengths of China's ice and snow events. Both events have the strength to win gold before the competition. However, due to various reasons, the gold medal was finally missed, and two events won 1 silver medal and three bronze medals.
In the first three Winter Olympics, this national freestyle skier won medals twice. Xu Nan won the silver medal in the women's event in the Winter Olympics on 1998. In the 2006 Winter Olympics, Han and Li Nina won the men's team championship and the women's team runner-up respectively. In the battle of Vancouver, both men's and women's events in China have the strength to win. It should be said that the improvisation of aerial acrobats is normal, but this incident is very accidental, and there are great variables in the result of the competition. As last time, neither male nor female champions are favourites to win the championship. China, the favourite to win the championship, not only failed to surpass the last place, but even failed to win a gold medal. Even though the result is somewhat regrettable, the China team still shows a strong overall strength. The women's team 4 will all enter the top 7, and the famous players Li Nina and Guo Xinxin will win the silver medal and bronze medal respectively. In the men's group, all three players entered the finals except Han. In addition to Liu Zhongqing winning a bronze medal, the other two players will also enter the top seven.
The women's 500-meter speed skating has always been the gold medal point of the China Winter Olympics delegation. Prior to this, Ye Qiaobo, Wang and Ren Hui won two gold medals and 1 silver medal in this project. At the Vancouver Winter Olympics, the famous speed skater Wang Beixing shouldered the heavy responsibility of hitting the gold medal. Her main rivals for the gold medal are German star Wolff and South Korean rookie Li Xianghua. In the women's 500-meter race, Wang Beixing skated for the first time, only ranked third, and lost the initiative. Although the result of the second slide was excellent, Li Xianghua and Wolff, who were in the dominant position, failed to surpass them in the end and won the third place with a total score of 76.63 seconds. Men's 500m, China is very competitive. It is expected that the man who won the fifth place in the men's 500 meters in the last Winter Olympics won the seventh place in this competition. In other sports, China players are not competitive, and sometimes even lag behind Sun Shan.
While China speed skating missed the gold medal in the Winter Olympics again, Korean skaters shined brilliantly and won the men's and women's 500m and men's10000m championships in succession, which made great contributions to the Korean delegation. It is worth mentioning that Japanese speed skaters have won prizes in the Winter Olympics in the past. The excellent performances of Korean and Japanese players, as well as the achievements of several generations of famous players from China in the World Championships, all indicate that this project is very suitable for China players. While developing and expanding the gold medal points, we should also increase investment in this traditional project.
Emerging projects are pleasing to the eye.
Women's curling and snowboarding U-shaped venues originally did not belong to domestic traditional ice and snow events. In recent years, the strength of these two projects has developed rapidly and made a major breakthrough at the Vancouver Winter Olympics.
Once upon a time, most people in China couldn't understand or even watch the curling competition, and the China delegation didn't send a team to participate in the last Winter Olympics. At the Vancouver Winter Olympics, two China teams showed their first-class strong players. China women's curling team, which won the world championship last year, once again proved its strength, defeating a number of strong teams including Canadian team and Swiss team. Of course, the inexperienced China team also exposed the weakness of psychological fluctuation in international competitions, or lost to opponents several times, or lost crisply in key competitions. Although it failed to repeat the drama of last year's World Championships, it is more meaningful to add a medal to the China delegation than the quality of the medal for the China women's curling team who went to the Winter Olympics for the first time.
At the Winter Olympics in Turin, two female snowboarders in the U-shaped venue missed the final because of their poor performance. In the battle of Vancouver, the China women's team became an important force to challenge the United States, Australia and other powerful countries. Liu Jiayu, the main player, won the world championship last year and won many World Cups. Sun Zhifeng and Cai won the World Cup and the World Youth Championship respectively. Due to injury, experience and other factors, Liu Jiayu and Sun Zhifeng finally won the fourth and seventh place respectively. Although she failed to win a medal, China's players have shown enough impact. Over time, this young army may become the main gold digger of China Winter Olympics like short track speed skating, figure skating and aerial skills.
Traditional weaknesses need to be addressed.
It is encouraging to break into the top ten gold medals in the Winter Olympics for the first time. While we are happy, we should also see that China is not a big country with ice and snow. Compared with Canadian, Norwegian, American and other traditional strong teams, most of China's projects are not competitive, especially the traditional projects with great influence.
In alpine skiing, cross-country skiing, ice hockey and other sports, the competitiveness of Chinese athletes is not strong, ranking generally in twenty or thirty, and no one even participates in platform skiing, nordic combined, sledding and sledding, which exposes the weak foundation of ice and snow sports in China. Even for sports with strong strength such as flower skating and curling, the number of domestic sports population is far from that of traditional European and American powers. It is suggested that China's sports decision-makers should take the opportunity of Vancouver Winter Olympics to break through the historical east wind, improve the popularity of the Winter Olympics, cultivate the population of ice and snow sports, increase the input of national teams, increase the number of national players participating in international competitions, and introduce high-level foreign teachers. Through a series of effective measures, we will promote the all-round and rapid development of ice and snow sports in China.
