Breakthrough of zero! Tonight, he will write a new history of the Chinese Winter Olympics

At about 19:00 on February 5, the first official competition in the Yanqing Division of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics will be staged at the National Bobsleigh Center "Snow Tour Dragon", and Fan Duoyao, the captain of the Chinese bobsleigh team, will compete in the first round of the men's single bobsleigh competition. It is worth mentioning that the moment he stands on the track, the new history of the Chinese Winter Olympics will be born, and he will achieve a breakthrough for the Chinese delegation in the project.

At the Winter Olympics, Yanqing Will host four major events: bobsleigh, bobsleigh, steel frame bobsleigh and alpine skiing. The sledd men's single is the first official event in the division. And tonight's "Snow Dragon" also has the honor to witness the historical moment of the Chinese Winter Olympic Legion.

It is understood that the Chinese delegation has never qualified for the bobsleigh event in the previous Winter Olympic Games. Even the Chinese bobsleigh training team was formed after the successful bid for the Beijing Winter Olympics. After nearly 6 years of hard training, the Chinese bobsleigh team has faced difficulties, and more and more Chinese players have appeared in the World Series. And the captain Fan Duoyao is undoubtedly one of the most shining.

In November last year, Fan Duoyao became the first male player in China to qualify for the Bobsleigh World Cup in China to qualify for the Bobsleigh World Cup 2021-2022 in Yanqing for the 2021-2022 International Bobsleigh Federation Bobsleigh World Cup held by Snow Tour Dragon. In the main competition, Fan Duoyao basically played at a normal level, and finally ranked 32nd with a time of 1:59.038.

Since then, Fan Duoyao has participated in many World Cup sub-stations, accumulated rich competition experience, and also saw his own shortcomings and gained self-confidence through the same competition with the world's top players.

On January 10 this year, the International Bobsleigh Federation announced the final Olympic points rankings, and the Chinese bobsleigh team won one seat in each of the four sub-events of men's singles, women's singles, doubles and team relay, achieving the goal of participating in all events. As the male player with the highest points in China, Fan Duoyao has also become a Chinese bobsleigh athlete who is about to create the history of the Winter Olympics.

Fan Duoyao played normally in these two days of trial skating, with a single round best time of 59.103 seconds, which is still a slight gap from his previous performance in the Yanqing stage of the World Cup.

For tonight's game, Fan Duoyao said, "'Snow Dragon' has the best slide in the world, with characteristics and difficulty. I also successfully transitioned from a cross-country skier and matured in bobsled. Compared to foreign players, my progress in the past 6 years is very fast, so I am full of confidence in the competition. ”
