Beijing Winter Olympics Prediction 4 Will China’s Snow Scores Overtake Ice Events? – Xinhua English.news.cn

Source title: Beijing Winter Olympics Prediction No. 4 Will China’s Snow Scores Overtake Ice Events?

There has always been a pattern of “strong ice and weak snow” in China’s ice and snow, which is clear at a glance from the distribution of the 13 Winter Olympic gold medals won by the Chinese team so far. Among the 13 Winter Olympic gold medals, 10 are from short track speed skating, 1 is from speed skating, and 1 is from figure skating pair skating. , Han Xiaopeng won the freestyle skiing men’s aerial skills championship.

In fact, in terms of the Winter Olympics, there are far more snow events than ice events. Taking the Beijing Winter Olympics as an example, among the seven sports, there are three on ice (skating, ice hockey and curling) and four on snow (skiing, snowmobile, sledding and biathlon). ; Among the 15 sub-items, there are 5 on the ice and 10 on the snow. The snow is twice as much as the ice, which is reflected in the 109 sub-items, which must be the number of gold medals on the snow (76 ) also more than double the ice gold medal (33).

Therefore, the Chinese ice and snow industry has been working hard to change the pattern of strong ice and snow in China, and when will this breakthrough point come? Our prediction is that this inflection point is very likely to appear at the current Beijing Winter Olympics.

From the prediction of the last Winter Olympics, we listed 12 gold points for Chinese ice and snow athletes, including 7 ice sports and 5 snow sports. In terms of quantity, snow sports are still less than ice sports. However, in terms of the possibility of rushing to gold, the snow events are by no means weaker than the ice events, especially the three individual events Gu Ailing participated in have strong comprehensive strength. The word “comprehensive” contains Gu Ailing’s positive attitude. Relaxed, she has extraordinary abilities in this regard. In addition, we only included two individual items in freestyle skiing aerial skills. In fact, as a man who has the hope of rushing for a medal, he is also very strong. If he performs well on the spot, there is also hope that the quality of the medal will be changed.

The competition situation in ice sports is very fierce and close, especially for short track speed skating that we expect high, because there are more on-the-spot performance and tactical factors, whether it is a gold medal or a medal, or even close to the podium It is not uncommon, this is completely different from the characteristics of speed skating projects that rely on absolute hard power to distinguish high and low. Therefore, there is a great uncertainty in the 7 gold points of ice sports recognized by us. Therefore, make a bold prediction, it is possible for China to surpass the ice sports on the snow, and of course there is a possibility of a tie between the two sides.
