The 20th Winter Olympic Games for the Hearing Impaired continued to be held in Erzurum, Turkey on the 4th local time, and Chinese players won two gold medals in the snowboard parallel giant slalom event on the same day, achieving a "zero breakthrough" in the individual snowboard event of the hearing-impaired Winter Olympics.
On the 4th, the second anniversary of the opening of the Beijing Winter Paralympics, the Chinese team players competed bravely in the competition. In the competition on the same day, the Chinese team won two gold medals in the men's and women's competitions. Among them, the three Chinese female players all entered the semifinals, Zhao Yueyue won the gold medal, Wang Lulu won the silver medal, and Su Shasha won the fourth place. In the men's competition, the Chinese team Yang Bin won the gold medal and Lan Yipeng won the bronze medal. The national anthem resounded at the awards square in Erzurum.
According to reports, the parallel giant slalom competition has a small angle, a long interval, a steep slope, a long competition time, and a lot of skiing, which is a big challenge for the athletes of all teams. Gold medalists Zhao Yueyue and Yang Bin ran 8 and 10 runs respectively, far exceeding the intensity of their daily training and pushing their physical limits in the six-hour competition.
Coach Yin Liankui said that at the 2019 Winter Olympics for the hearing impaired in Italy, Zhao Yueyue played with an injury and won a bronze medal for the Chinese team in this event. After hard training, the team won two gold medals and four medals this time, and as a coach, they were also very excited, which was a breakthrough in China's hearing-impaired snowboarding.
2019 was the first time I competed in an international competition in Italy and one of the most memorable memories of my life. I really can't imagine the comparison before and after five years. The medal made me understand this truth once and for all, years of hard work and sweat will eventually pay for the results I have now. Wang Lulu said after the game, "We came to the competition to prove our strength, win glory for the motherland, and also prove to the world that we Chinese can do it, thank the country, thank the coach and teammates for their support and care and encouragement." ”
