China News Service, Beijing, March 7th (Reporter Chen Hang) On the afternoon of the 7th, in the seventh round of the wheelchair curling round-robin competition at the Beijing Winter Paralympics, the Chinese team defeated the South Korean team 9:4 and won two consecutive victories in the round-robin competition. The current record is 2 wins and 2 losses, tied for fifth with Estonia and Norway.
The Chinese Paralympic curling team is a powerhouse. At the 2018 Winter Paralympic Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea, the Chinese wheelchair curling team won the championship in one fell swoop, achieving a breakthrough of zero Winter Paralympic medals and gold medals for China.
At this Winter Paralympics, the Chinese wheelchair curling team got off to a bad start, losing to Canada and Sweden successively.
On the afternoon of the 7th, the Chinese team’s lineup was first base Yan Zhuo, second base Zhang Mingliang, third base Chen Jianxin, and fourth base Wang Haitao. In the beginning, the Chinese team scored 2 points, and the Korean team scored 3 points in the second game. The Chinese team gradually adjusted the game state and chased the score to a 4:4 tie in the first half. In the sixth game, the Chinese team took advantage of the opponent’s serious mistakes to win in a single game. With 5 points, the South Korean team had no intention of fighting again and chose to admit defeat in advance.
“Today’s game is relatively satisfactory.” Coach Yue Qingqing said after the game that although the players in the first three rounds had individual mistakes that affected their state, they made mental adjustments for everyone, “let them not worry about it. The reason for one pot (mistake), how to avoid the next pot, forget about the things you are tangled up in. We got a big score in the sixth game.”
Talking about the performance on the field, Chen Jianxin said that he felt very good when he first played the game today.
On the same day, the Chinese team will play double matches in one day, and will also face the Swiss team in the evening. “The Swiss team is stronger than the South Korean team. They are our old opponents and know each other better.” Yue Qingqing said that we must play our own ball well, learn to wait and seize opportunities.
Regarding the physical challenge of the one-day double race, Chen Jianxin said that there is no problem with physical strength. We have simulated it many times, and the duration of the competition is the same, so I am used to it.
March 8 is International Women’s Day, and the Chinese team will play the US team that night. Yue Qingqing said that the most wanted gift is that the players can cheer, work hard, and do well in every game. (over)Return to Sohu, see more
