Short track speed skating: Wu Da Jing looks forward to defending the Chinese women's team for a medal
There will be two gold medals in the men's 500-meter and women's 3,000-meter relay in the short track speed skating competition that day. The Chinese team has outstanding strength in both.
At the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics, Wu Dajing won the championship by breaking the Olympic record and became the only gold medalist of the Chinese delegation in the current Winter Olympics.
Subsequently, he made persistent efforts to collect the world record of the project under his name.
As the defending champion and world record and Olympic record holder, Wu Dajing has long been regarded as the favorite to win the event in this Winter Olympics.
In the men's 500-meter preliminaries held on the 11th, Wu Dajing's performance ranked first among all participating athletes, creating a good start for his defending his title.
This Winter Olympics "double champion" Ren Ziwei and "post-00" teenager Sun Long also successfully advanced to the quarter-finals, escorting the Chinese team in this event.
The women's 3000m relay final will be played between China, the Netherlands, South Korea and Canada.
In the final of the event at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, the Chinese team, which broke the Olympic record in the semifinals, crossed the finish line but was sentenced to a foul and missed the medal.
In this Olympic cycle, the strength of the Chinese women's short track speed skating team has declined.
This time, facing the defending champion South Korea team and the Netherlands team led by Schulting, who has just broken the women's 1000m world record, the Chinese team will face greater difficulty in hitting the gold medal.
In the previous events of short track speed skating at this Winter Olympics, there have been repeated accidents, which made the competition between players more uncertain, and the results of the competition were more full of suspense.
On the 13th, the women's 500m final and the men's team pursuit quarter-finals will be held on the speed skating arena.
Women's sprint was once the dominant sport in China's speed skating, but in recent years, with the retirement of famous athletes such as Winter Olympic champion Zhang Hong, the Chinese women's team has been in a situation of lack of success, and the results have been unsatisfactory.
This time, I expect Jin Jingzhu and Tian Ruining to achieve short-distance recovery for Chinese women's speed skating at their doorstep.
On February 8, Chinese athlete Gu Ailing won the championship in the women's freestyle ski jumping final of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics held at the Beijing Shougang Ski Jumping platform.

Freestyle skiing: Gu Ailing debuts slope obstacle skills Xu Mengtao leads aerial skills
On the 13th of the freestyle skiing arena, the two qualifying matches attracted the attention of Chinese audiences.
Teenager Gu Ailing, who won the gold medal in the freestyle ski jumping platform, will appear in the women's sloping obstacle skills qualification competition; Xu Mengtao, the "four dynasties veteran" who won the silver medal in the aerial skills mixed team competition, will participate in the women's aerial skills qualification competition.
During the Beijing Winter Olympics cycle, these two famous players, one young and one old, have achieved brilliant results.
18-year-old Gu Ailing is the World Championship and World Cup champion in women's slope obstacle skills, while 31-year-old Xu Mengtao set a new record with 26 World Cup championships.
For both of them, the qualifying match can only be regarded as a warm-up match before the final, and the biggest thing to watch is their movement difficulty and completion.
In addition, the 18-year-old Yang Shuorui, who was injured in the big platform training, will participate in the slope obstacle skills competition. Kong Fanyu, the bronze medalist of the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, and Shao Qi, the "post-00" teenager, will participate in the aerial skills competition. We look forward to all Chinese players. Advance to the final on the 14th.
The curling arena continues with a round robin.
The Chinese men's curling team with 2 wins and 2 losses in the first 4 rounds will usher in a one-day double match against the United Kingdom and the United States respectively; the Chinese women's curling team will play against the South Korean team.
Men's ice hockey will be in the final group stage, with the Chinese team facing the Canadian team.
According to the rules, the 4 teams with the highest points in the group rounds will directly advance to the quarter-finals, and the remaining 8 teams will compete in a cross-elimination round.
