China's "Shuangshu" Huai Mingming and Ying Qing played together and ranked 6th and 9th respectively.

　　Snowmobiles, also known as sleds, originated in Switzerland and developed from sleds.

Since the 1924 Winter Olympics in Chamonix, France, snowmobiles have been listed as a Winter Olympics event.

The women's single sled is a new event in the Beijing Winter Olympics. Competitors have to ski four times in the two-day schedule, and the one with the shortest total four-wheel skating time wins.

　　Before the game, Humphreys was seen as the favorite to win the project.

Looking at her past resume, Humphreys can be described as a well-deserved "Queen of Snowmobiles": the only female snowmobile athlete who has won 2 Olympic gold medals and 3 Olympic medals, won 5 World Championships... Worth mentioning What's more, Humphreys was the number one main force of the Canadian snow team before, and 2 Olympic gold medals were also won for the Canadian delegation.

However, due to disputes with the coaches and officials of the Canadian Snow Team, she chose to withdraw from the Canadian Snow Team and instead represented the American team.

　　In this Winter Olympics, Humphreys continued his good form. In the first round of the competition, he slid a good result of 1:04.44, setting a new track record for the "Snow Dragon" women's single snowmobile.

After three rounds of competition, Humphreys continued to play steadily, and finally won the championship with a good result of 4 minutes 19 seconds 27 in four rounds, increasing his number of Olympic gold medals to 3.

Humphreys' teammate Elana Meyers Taylor won the silver medal, and the U.S. team swept the gold and silver medals in the women's snowmobile at the Winter Olympics.

　　China's "Shuangshu" Huai Mingming and Ying Qing ranked 6th and 9th with 4:22.58 and 4:23.41 respectively.

This is the first time for a Chinese female snowmobile player to participate in the Winter Olympics, and it is a breakthrough for two Chinese girls to stand on the field.

　　Originally, they were both practicing track and field events, and they both joined the Chinese national snowmobile team through "cross-border and cross-event selection". Huai Mingming and Ying Qing's growth experiences are quite similar.

After the race, Huai Mingming said that he was quite satisfied with today's results. After the race, he felt a lot more relaxed. He had flaws in the starting stage and hoped to adjust it well and play better in the subsequent double snowmobile races.

　　Ying Qing said that this is her first Olympic Games, and she is very happy to be able to stand on the Olympic stage and fight at the "doorstep".

She believes that she did not play her due strength today, "there are still some mistakes, go back to sum up experience", and prepare well for the later double snowmobile competition.
