China News Service, Beijing, March 9th. On the 9th, Chinese players Zheng Peng and Mao Zhongwu successfully won the championship and runner-up in the men's short-distance sitting group competition in the Paralympic cross-country skiing at the Beijing Winter Paralympics.
In the following Paralympic cross-country skiing women's short distance sitting group competition, Yang Hongqiong won the championship.
The Chinese team won two gold medals in 20 minutes in a row, and Zheng Peng and Yang Hongqiong both became the "double champions" of the Winter Paralympic Games.
Zheng Peng's gold medal is the ninth gold medal won by the Chinese team in this competition and his second gold medal won at the Beijing Winter Paralympics.
So far, Zheng Peng has become the first "double champion" of the Chinese delegation in the Winter Paralympic Games, creating a new history!
Zheng Peng is 29 years old this year. In 2011, when he was an apprentice in an auto repair factory, he was hit by a lift and injured his legs and became disabled.
Life changed suddenly, but he was not defeated. Zheng Peng realized his value on the road of sports.

In 2013, under the recommendation of the Disabled Persons' Federation in his hometown, Zheng Peng applied for a sports school for the disabled in Beijing and was admitted. He has been involved in skiing since then.
He had encountered many difficulties when he first started training, but Zheng Peng gritted his teeth and persevered.
In 2018, he represented China at the PyeongChang Winter Paralympics, and finally won the fourth place in the cross-country skiing men's 15-kilometer seated race, passing the podium.
During the long-term preparations for the Winter Paralympics, Zheng Peng also had a difficult time.
He said there was a time in between when he didn't feel like his training level was improving, and at that time he might be a little anxious.
"I'm still glad that I persevered, so I feel that the adjustment of my mentality is very helpful."
On the evening of March 6, the award ceremony for the men's long-distance cross-country skiing event in the Beijing 2022 Paralympic Winter Games was held at the Zhangjiakou Awards Plaza.

In the previous Beijing Winter Paralympics cross-country skiing men's long-distance sitting group competition, Zheng Peng won the fourth gold for the Chinese sports delegation at this Winter Paralympic Games.
Now, he has won his second gold medal in this Winter Paralympics, and his years of hard work have paid off.
Next, Zheng Peng will also participate in the Beijing Winter Paralympics Paralympic cross-country skiing men's middle distance seated group competition, looking forward to him bringing more surprises.
After Zheng Peng made a historic breakthrough, another good news came from the cross-country skiing arena.
Yang Hongqiong's gold medal is the 10th gold medal won by the Chinese team at the Beijing Winter Paralympics and her second gold medal in this competition.
On March 6, Chinese player Yang Hongqiong competes.

Yang Hongqiong is a veteran who won a gold medal in the women's Paralympic cross-country skiing long distance sitting group at the Beijing Winter Paralympics.
Many people don't know that she has a nickname called "Yang Meijiao".
Originally a wheelchair basketball player, she encountered many difficulties in cross-border skiing training.
Seated cross-country skiing training and competitions need to rely on both hands to maintain balance. Because of the discomfort, Yang Hongqiong has become one of the most wrestling players in the team.
So the coach gave her a nickname - Yang Meijiao, homophonic "Yang every wrestling" - Yang Hongqiong fell every day.
On the evening of March 6, the award ceremony for the women's long-distance cross-country skiing event in the Paralympic Cross Country Skiing in Beijing 2022 was held at the Zhangjiakou Awards Plaza. Chinese athlete Yang Hongqiong won the gold medal.

In last year's National Paralympic Games, Yang Hongqiong performed abnormally and his results were not outstanding.
This made her doubt herself for a time, but the "dissatisfaction" in her heart pulled her back to the arena, and finally bloomed perfectly in the Winter Paralympics.
Next, Yang Hongqiong will also participate in the Beijing Winter Paralympic Paralympic cross-country skiing women's middle distance seated group competition, and she will also attack her third gold medal.
So far, the Chinese delegation has successfully surpassed the 10 mark in the number of gold medals in the Beijing Winter Paralympics.
From the first gold medal in history at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics to leading the medal table today, the dazzling performance of Chinese disabled athletes is the epitome of the vigorous development of China's disabled sports.
The Beijing Winter Paralympics has officially entered the second half of the competition, and I look forward to the Chinese delegation to bring more excellent performance!
