At the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics held on February 1 1 Beijing time, the men's snowmobile race with steel frame ended. China's Yan Wengang, who participated in the Winter Olympics for the first time, finally won the precious bronze medal with four rounds of 4 minutes 0 1.77 seconds, creating China's best performance in this event. Beijing Yanqing National Snowmobile Sled Center witnessed a major breakthrough in snow sports in China. Yan Wengang, 24, played an outstanding role in the men's steel snowmobile competition that night, winning the bronze medal with a total score of 4: 0 1.77, and winning the first medal for the China team. Andrew ranked fifth and set a new track start record with a time of 4.58 seconds.
Members of the China women's snowmobile and sleigh team are also women. In the first two rounds of the women's snowmobile team, Zhao Dan and Li Yuxi ranked fourth and tenth respectively, and they also have great hopes of winning medals. The top speed of the snowmobile with steel frame can exceed 130 km, because it is too dangerous to be "kicked out" of the Winter Olympics twice. ?
In fact, the development of steel snowmobiles in China is only seven years. The national team of China steel-frame snowmobile was established on October 20th-5th. After the establishment of China's national snowmobile team, there is still a significant gap with the international top level. Yan Wengang, who made a major breakthrough this time, was an athlete of Tianjin Track and Field Team practicing long jump as early as 20 16. In response to the cross-border and cross-event selection plan of the State Sports Bureau, I entered the newly established China steel snowmobile national team and changed my life track. Seven years' long jump career has given Yan Wengang excellent explosive power, which is also a necessary physical quality in the initial stage of the steel-frame snowmobile project. Yan Wengang won the bronze medal when he first stood on the Olympic stage, which created the best record of China athletes in this event and filled another blank in China's ice and snow sports.
