  The short track speed skating team, which has won 10 gold medals in the history of the Winter Olympics, is regarded as a barometer of the performance of the Chinese delegation.

In the 4 short track speed skating World Cup events this season, the Chinese team won 7 championships. Ren Ziwei, Wu Dajing and other famous players have all won gold performances.

However, the team has also exposed some shortcomings in the World Cup, especially the women's team in the single event without a gold medal.

In this regard, the short track speed skating training team is actively preparing for Beijing to make up for its shortcomings.

  As the Calgary race ended last weekend, all four World Cup races in speed skating this season have come to an end.

The performance of the Chinese players was exceptional. In addition to winning 4 golds, 3 silvers and 2 bronzes in the 4 races, 9 medals in total, 4 people broke the national record.

Including the same person refreshing his personal best situation several times, a total of 36 person-times created personal best results.

Among them, the men's 1000m gold medal won at Calgary Station is the first time a Chinese player has won the World Cup championship in this event.

According to the plan, the Chinese speed skating training team will return to China today.

In the next stage, the team will conduct closed training in the Erqi National Ice and Snow Sports Training Base until the opening of the Winter Olympics.

  After completing the first phase of the winter training mission in Aershan, the freestyle skiing aerials national training team is outside participating in the competition for this season's World Cup.

This team has Xu Mengtao, Kong Fanyu, Qi Guangpu, Jia Zongyang and many other world famous players. It is the Chinese team's vanguard in the competition for gold and silver in the Beijing Winter Olympics.

  Starting from the World Cup results, Chinese players still have a certain group advantage in this event. The best proof is that they won consecutive championships in the new mixed team of the Beijing Winter Olympics.

However, if the goal is to target the highest podium in the Winter Olympics, the team still needs to make good use of the last 50 days.

  Turning to the snow, Chinese skiers have recently been resident in the hot search section of social media, thanks to their repeated success in the World Cup.
