The Chinese freestyle skiing aerial skills team has been a favorite to win the Winter Olympics every time, but it has always had almost luck when it comes to the goal. In addition to Han Xiaopeng's victory at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, the Chinese team won a bunch of silver medals, as if they had been hit by a silver spell.
So, why is the strongest Chinese team always in the second place? To sum up, there are two reasons: one is that every time the Olympic Games, a foreign association player will come out of nowhere, playing chicken blood to create a high score; second, the Chinese athletes themselves are unstable and make mistakes. Generally speaking, the two causes are separate.
Coming to the Beijing Winter Olympics, a new team event was set up, which was a major benefit for the talented Chinese team. Because in order to defeat the Chinese team in the team competition, the conditions mentioned above must be met, and the probability is not high to tell.
However, there may really be a silver spell, and we fought at home, but we encountered the embarrassment of losing the gold medal at the same time:
1. It was the American team that played chicken blood this time, and the male player who appeared in the second final jumped a staggering 136 points;
2. Under the pressure brought by the opponent's excellent performance, Jia Zongyang made a fatal mistake and only scored 96 points, burying the 20-point advantage established by Xu Mengtao in the first jump.
As a result, the Chinese freestyle skiing aerial skills dream team composed of Xu Mengtao, Jia Zongyang and Qi Guangpu, the three "elders of the four dynasties", lost to the United States team by 14 points and ranked second. Winning the silver medal is also a good result, but for the three veterans, it is really a cruel reality.
Especially for the women's team, in addition to the 5 silver medals of the 1998 Winter Olympics in Nagano, the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, and the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, it is very sad to add a team silver medal. And Jia Zongyang has also won the silver medal in the Winter Olympics for two consecutive years, which is also a bit painful.
However, in the men's and women's individual events, the Chinese team still has the opportunity to continue to attack the gold medal. At that time, I hope that luck can stand on the side of Chinese players, like Xu Mengtao, the most 26 World Cup gold medals in history for an Olympic gold medal, is not too much, right? Has been a strong Chinese team, come on!
