1, Zhao Weichang, the first flag bearer of the Winter Olympics in China.
1980, 13 The Winter Olympics was held in Lake Placid, USA. This is the first time that the China delegation has participated in the Winter Olympics. China sent 28 male and female athletes to participate in skating, skiing and modern biathlon 18 individual events.
Zhao Weichang, then 30 years old, was regarded as the best speed skater in China, so he was chosen as the first flag bearer of the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics in our delegation, which can be described as the first flag bearer of the New China Olympic Games (including the Summer Olympics).
Zhao Weichang, a native of Changchun, Jilin, was born in 1950. In the 1970s, he was one of the best skaters in China, ranking first almost every year.
Before going to Lake Placid Winter Olympics in the United States, Zhao Weichang won the men's national all-around speed skating championship with 1 1 in succession, broke the national record for 26 times, and won the men's 500-meter speed skating runner-up in Oslo World Championships with 1975.
It is because of this dazzling achievement that Zhao Weichang was elected as the first flag bearer at the opening ceremony of the China Winter Olympics.

At the 13 Winter Olympics, Zhao Weichang participated in the men's 500-meter, 1000-meter and 1500-meter speed skating competitions, and won 3 1, 24 and 25 respectively.
2, Ye Qiaobo, breaking through zero medals.
China didn't win any medals in the 13, 14 and 15 Winter Olympics. It was not until 1992 that Ye Qiaobo, a female speed skater from China, won the first silver medal, thus achieving a "zero breakthrough" in the China Winter Olympics.
Ye Qiaobo, a native of Changchun, Jilin, was born in 1964. She entered the speed skating class of Changchun Amateur Sports School at the age of 10, and was selected to the Bayi speed skating team at the age of 12. It can be said that she grew up on an ice slide, which laid a solid foundation for her later skating career.
1985, Ye Qiaobo was selected for the national team with excellent results. Since then, she has been invincible not only on the domestic stage, but also on the international stage.
At the 1992 16 Winter Olympics, Ye Qiaobo became an instant hit, winning two silver medals in women's1000m and 500m speed skating in succession, thus achieving a breakthrough of zero medals in the history of the Winter Olympics in China.
This is an epoch-making moment. China didn't win a medal in the first three Winter Olympics, and the long-suppressed grievances and unwillingness were completely released at this moment. After 12 years of hard work, China finally stood up at that moment.
Since then, from1March 1992 to1March 1993, Ye Qiaobo has successively participated in the World Cup Series, the World Women's Championship and the World Short-distance Championship, winning all the women's 500-meter events, the women's short-distance all-around champion and the women's 500-meter champion in the World Cup finals, and * * * won the 17 gold medal, becoming.
Moreover, the continuous competition also caused Ye Qiaobo to be seriously injured, and the left knee basal plate was shattered and the cartilage was broken in a large area. However, Ye Qiaobo, who was seriously injured, appeared at the 17 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway as 1994. She entered the competition with an injury, and won the bronze medal in the 1000-meter race with 1: 20.22, which was the first medal won by China on 10 day after the start of the Winter Olympics.
From 65438 to 0994, after the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, Norway, Ye Qiaobo, suffering from injuries, announced his retirement. Ye Qiaobo, who wore roller skates and triumphed in a wheelchair, became a sports myth of that year.
3, Yang Yang, broke through the zero gold medal.
After Ye Qiaobo, the performance and morale of the China team on the stage of the Winter Olympics increased year by year, but unfortunately, they never won the gold medal.
Until 2002, at the 19 Winter Olympics held in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, Yang Yang swept the women's short track speed skating 500 meters and 1000 meters, which realized the "zero breakthrough" of the China delegation and made Yang Yang the first winter Olympic champion in China.
Yang Yang, a native of Jiamusi City, Heilongjiang Province, was born in 1975. She has an innate talent and love for skating since she was a child. At the age of 8, she was attracted by Wang Chunyao, the coach of amateur sports school in her hometown, and began her journey of ice and snow.
1986, Yang Yang, age 1 1, entered qitaihe city Amateur Sports School and began to receive skating training. /kloc-entered Harbin Sports School at the age of 0/3 and practiced short track speed skating. Since then, Yang Yang has emerged in various domestic competitions and won the 65,438+0,500m and 3,000m national short track speed skating championships.
From 65438 to 0995, Yang Yang entered the China national team from Heilongjiang Province. From then on, Yang Yang began to move from the domestic stage to the international stage. On the international stage, Yang Yang began to shine brilliantly and began her legendary life.
From 1995 to 1997, Yang Yang won the women's 500 meters, 1000 meters, 1500 meters and 3000 meters in the World Short Track Speed Skating Championships, and broke the world records many times. It can be said that she won by softness.
/KOOC-0/998 Nagano/KOOC-0/8 Winter Olympics, Yang Yang and her teammates won the second place in the women's 3000-meter relay race with a score of 4 minutes/KOOC-0/6.383 seconds and won the silver medal. The result was a great blow to Yang Yangyang, who didn't sleep a wink for several days and nights.
In the next four years, Yang Yang will work harder for the gold medal in the Winter Olympics. In the Salt Lake City 19 Winter Olympics in 2002, Yang Yang finally won the women's short track speed skating 500 meters and 1000 meters under great pressure, achieving a breakthrough of zero gold medal in the history of the China Winter Olympics.
At that moment, the whole country rejoiced and all China people were proud of this 27-year-old girl. At that time, Yang Yang's name is also a household name, and almost everyone in the industry knows it. In 2006, Yang Yang announced his retirement.
4. Han, the first man in men's gold medal.
If Yang Yang is the top soldier of the women's team in the history of China Winter Olympics, then Han is the pride of the men's team.
In 2006, at the 20th Winter Olympics in Turin, China won the gold medal in the men's freestyle skiing aerial skill competition, which was the first gold medal won by a male athlete in the Winter Olympics.
Han Xiaopeng, a native of Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, was born in 1983. At the age of five, Han practiced in a sports school in his hometown. /kloc-at the age of 0/2, he was selected by Yang Erqi, a teacher of Shenyang Institute of Physical Education, and formally practiced freestyle skiing aerial skills.
From 1999, Han was selected into the national team and began to make his mark in domestic competitions. From 1999 to 2006, Han participated in many domestic competitions, but his achievements were not so dazzling. Unlike Ye Qiaobo and Yang Yang mentioned above, he was a champion harvester from the beginning.
Han is the runner-up and third runner-up most of the time, and he is always one goal away from the championship. However, at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, South Korea suddenly emerged as a blockbuster.
In the men's aerial skills qualifying competition, Han won 1 with a score of 250.45, which gave the Chinese a surprise. Unexpectedly, a bigger surprise is yet to come. In the final, Han beat all the strong enemies with 250.77 points and won the gold medal in the men's aerial skill competition. He was 23 years old that year.
This is the first gold medal in snow sports since China participated in the Winter Olympics, and it is also the first gold medal won by the China men's team at the Winter Olympics. With his perfect flight, Han explained the China myth of "Kun becomes Peng" to the world.
Han became famous at once. At that moment, his name was forever engraved on the honor roll of China Olympic history. From then on, Han began to show his talents in international competitions and won the championship in Asian Winter Games, freestyle skiing world championships and other events.
In 2008, Han served as a torchbearer for the Beijing Olympic Games and passed the torch in Shenyang. During the Vancouver Winter Olympics in 20 10, Han was the flag-bearer and led the China team into the stadium. In the same year, he announced his retirement due to injury.
5. Zhao Hongbo and Shen Xue, the first figure skater, are veterans of the four dynasties in the Winter Olympics.
Zhao Hongbo and Shen Xue are both from Harbin, Heilongjiang. Zhao Hongbo was born in 1973 and Shen Xue was born in 1978.
1992, the two began to practice pair skating together, and spent 18 spring and autumn on the field together, which is the perfect screen CP in the eyes of Chinese people. What is even more enviable is that they finally entered the marriage hall.

In 2002, at the Salt Lake City 19 Winter Olympics, their "killer" failed to throw and jump, missed the gold medal and only won the bronze medal in pairs skating. In 2006, at the Winter Olympics in Turin, they still missed the gold medal and won the bronze medal in pairs skating.
It is Zhao Hongbo and Shen Xue's greatest regret that they missed the gold medal in three consecutive Winter Olympics. In the following years, although they won several gold medals in other international competitions, the gold medal in the Winter Olympics was their biggest worry and wish.
Finally, at the 20 10 Vancouver Winter Olympics, Zhao Hongbo got his wish, broke the world record with a total score of 2 16.57, and won the figure skating double skating championship.
In this battle, they rewrote the history that China figure skating didn't have a gold medal in the Winter Olympics, and also broke the Russian monopoly of figure skating in the 12 Winter Olympics for 46 years, and successfully completed the last Olympic trip.
After the Vancouver Winter Olympics, the two announced their retirement and entered the marriage hall at the same time, becoming a pair of immortal couples envied by the world. As veterans of the four Winter Olympics, their legend of pair skating has always inspired future generations.
