CCTV News:From February 9 to February 25, 2018, the 23 rd Winter Olympic Games will be held inPyeongchang, KoreaHold.
From China’s first participation in the Winter Olympics in 1980 to the upcoming Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, with a history of 38 years, China’s athletes have repeatedly attacked the gold medal, and every endeavor and harvest has written a legend of ice and snow.
In 1980, China first went to the Winter Olympics.
On November 26th, 1979, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) resumed the legal status of the Chinese Olympic Committee, which opened the door for China sports to go global in an all-round way. In the middle and late February, 1980, the China delegation participated in the 13th Winter Olympic Games held in Lake Placid, USA, which was the first time that China athletes set foot in the Winter Olympics.
In 1980, the China Olympic delegation entered the 13th Winter Olympics in Lake Placid, USA.
Li Yan won the gold medal in the exhibition competition in 1988.
In the 1988 Winter Olympics in Calgary, China sent 13 athletes to participate. Like the previous two events, China’s athletes are still far away from the medals, and the official events are out of the top eight.

However, it is worth mentioning that at that time, in the short track speed skating event of performance class, teenagers under the age of 20Li YanWinning 1 gold and 2 bronzes, such a good performance made the China delegation excited and full of confidence in the next Winter Olympics.
In 1992, Ye Qiaobo achieved zero breakthrough in medals.
In the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, China did not return empty-handed, and women’s speed skating and short track speed skating won three silver medals, ranking first in the medal list.
Among them, women speed skatersYe Qiaobo, won two silver medals in 500 meters and 1000 meters, ending the history of China Winter Olympics without medals. Li Yan also added a silver medal to China in the short track speed skating competition, which became an official event for the first time.
It’s a little pity that Ye Qiaobo had a chance to win the gold medal. Women’s speed skating 500 meters is the most sure event in Ye Qiaobo. In the competition, Ye Qiaobo could not fully accelerate because her opponent did not give way when entering the corner.
The opponent didn’t give way to Ye Qiaobo as required. Ye Qiaobo asked for a rematch, but the referee ignored it.
It was this accident that caused Ye Qiaobo to lose about 0.2 seconds, and finally came second, while her performance was only 0.18 seconds behind the champion.
Ye Qiaobo won the first medal in the history of China Winter Olympics.
Ye Qiaobo still cried after she walked off the podium. She felt wronged and was full of regrets for not winning the gold medal.
In 1994, the gold medal dream of "Black Whistle" was shattered.
In February 1994, China sent 27 athletes to participate in the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer. China’s gold medal hopes are pinned on women’s short track speed skating. However, Chinese’s dream of winning the gold medal was blown out by the referee!
Short track speed skating women’s 500 m final, China’s top playerZhang YanmeiLeading all the way in the first three laps. Seeing that Zhang Yanmei was about to cross the line, an accident happened! Kathy, an American player in the second place, suddenly pushed and pulled Zhang Yanmei’s knee with her left hand, and squeezed it to the inside. This "out-of-disc move" made Zhang Yanmei almost fall and was forced to slow down. Kathy took the opportunity to overtake Zhang Yanmei and took the lead in crossing the finish line.

After Zhang Yanmei reached the finish line, he indicated to the referee that Kathy had committed a serious foul, but the Dutchman, who was in charge of the referee, ignored it. Players from many countries expressed their dissatisfaction with the unfair treatment suffered by Chinese, saying that the gold medal should be Zhang Yanmei. However, all this can’t impress the "judge".
In speed skating, Ye Qiaobo managed to win a bronze medal while dragging a broken leg. She hung her skates and returned triumphantly in a wheelchair, which became the sports myth of that year. Ye Qiaobo’s fighting spirit touched the people.
In addition, Chen Lu won the bronze medal in women’s single skating in figure skating, achieving a major breakthrough in China’s ice and snow sports.

In 1998, the gold rush failed
In the 18th Winter Olympics in Nagano, Japan, China sent a huge lineup of 60 people. However, it is a pity that the gold rush failed and won 6 silver medals and 2 bronze medals.
It’s a pity that there was a final in short track speed skating, and I missed the gold medal.

Li Jiajun finally only missed the distance of a knife tip.
Besides,Chen LuI won another bronze medal in the women’s single skating.Xu NannanChina made a breakthrough in snow sports by winning the silver medal in women’s freestyle skiing aerial skills.
At the Winter Olympics in Nagano, Chen Lu, who scored Butterfly Lovers, won the bronze medal again, and "Butterfly on the Ice" became famous internationally.
Xu Nan won a precious silver medal, which achieved a zero breakthrough in the snow events in China.
In 2002, Yang Yang won the first gold medal in China Winter Olympics.
After repeated gold-rushing failures, the Olympic gold medal dream of China ice and snow athletes was finally realized at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City, USA! That winter Olympic Games, the famous short track speed skater.Yang yangOne person won two gold medals in a row, and the magical performance of this superstar made the dream of several generations of China ice and snow players come true.
In addition to the two gold medals contributed by Yang Yang, the China delegation also won 2 silvers and 4 bronzes in short track speed skating and figure skating, especiallyShen Xue/Zhao HongboWon the third place in pairs skating, which achieved a new breakthrough for China figure skating.

In 2006, Han Xiaopeng was born.
The China delegation won 2 gold, 4 silver and 5 bronze in the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin. Judging from the quality of medals, we are more proud than ever, and this pride comes from the "dark horse"Han Xiaopeng.
Han Xiaopeng, 22, won the gold medal in the freestyle skiing men’s aerial acrobatics competition with two perfect movements, which achieved a zero breakthrough in the men’s event in China and a zero breakthrough in the snow event in China at the Winter Olympics.
The performance of Chinese short track speed skating team in Turin Winter Olympics was not satisfactory. Under heavy pressure, several gold medals with high voices were missed. The only bright spot is the teenager.Wang MengThe outbreak. Wang Meng, 20, took the lead in the women’s 500-meter final and won the gold medal, shouldering the heavy responsibility of winning the gold medal.

In the figure skating pair skating competition,Shen Xue/Zhao HongboThis is the biggest favourite to win the gold medal, but six months before the competition, Zhao Hongbo broke his Achilles tendon, so the possibility of participating in the competition is slim. However, Zhao Hongbo finally stood on the field. He not only completed the jump perfectly, but also won the bronze medal with Shen Xue.
It is also worth mentioning thatZhang Dan/Zhang Hao. When Zhang Dan fell heavily on the ice in the final, almost everyone thought that they would quit the competition. However, the strong Zhang Dan returned to the competition after a little treatment, and won the silver medal in the pair skating competition with Zhang Hao’s perfect performance. The prolonged applause from the audience was the best affirmation for them, which exceeded the significance of the medal.

After learning that she won the silver medal, the excited Zhang Hao hugged Zhang Dan.
Women’s short track speed skating swept the gold medal in 2010
In the short track speed skating competition of Vancouver Winter Olympics in 2010, the China women’s team won all four gold medals and became the absolute overlord of women’s events, ending the Korean team’s dominance in two individual events.
500 meter raceWang MengStand out from the rest, and win the championship with the advantage that the opponent can’t match with its strong strength.
1500 metersZhou yangAlone, I faced three famous Korean players in the final. Strong ability in the second half and sprint helped Zhou Yang complete the almost impossible task, overtook the three South Korean generals, took the lead in crossing the finish line with absolute advantage, and ended the Korean team’s rule over the project.
The competition between China and South Korea in the 3000-meter relay is fierce. Although South Korea took the lead in crossing the finish line, it was cancelled due to a foul, and China won the first gold medal in the team event in the history of the Winter Olympics.
In the final 1000-meter race, Wang Meng and Zhou Yang joined hands to rush for gold. Although Zhou Yang withdrew from the competition early due to a foul, her continuous efforts also created conditions for Wang Meng to compete for the championship, and the latter achieved the "triple crown".
Shen Xue and Zhao Hongbo hit the gold medal of synchronized skating in the Winter Olympics for the fourth time. In the end, they succeeded, and they ended their careers with perfect performance.
