The 28th Winter Olympics 100 Questions | Which project was the first gold medal of the China Paralympic Games born in?
In the wheelchair curling final of the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Paralympics, the Chinese team narrowly defeated the strong Norwegian team 6:5 after overtime, thus reaching the highest podium. This is the first medal and the first gold medal won by the Chinese delegation in the previous Winter Paralympic Games it has participated in. It has achieved a breakthrough from nothing.
The Pyeongchang Winter Olympics is the second Paralympic trip of the Chinese wheelchair curling team. At the Sochi Winter Olympics, the Chinese wheelchair curling team, which competed for the first time, won fourth place, just one step away from the podium.
A total of 12 teams participated in the wheelchair curling competition at the Pyeongchang Winter Paralympic Games. In the single round robin, the Chinese team ranked third with 9 wins and 2 losses and successfully entered the semi-finals.

In the semifinals, the opponent of the Chinese team was the Canadian team. The Canadian team is the winner of the previous three Paralympic Winter Games, and has beaten the Chinese team in the round-robin stage. But with a key shot from fourth base Wang Haitao, the Chinese team won the defending champion 4:3 and advanced to the final with their heads high.
The four players sent by the Chinese team in the final are Wang Meng on the first base, Liu Wei on the second base, Chen Jianxin on the third base, and Wang Haitao on the fourth base. Zhang Qiang is the team’s substitute.
In the game, the Chinese team drew 5 with their rival Norway in regular time, and the final entered the playoff. In the extra game, the Chinese team had the advantage of a backhand and finally defeated their opponents by 6:5 and climbed onto the highest podium of the Paralympic Winter Games.

The Pyeongchang Paralympic Winter Games is the fifth time that the Chinese delegation has participated in the Paralympic Winter Games. Winter sports for the disabled in China started relatively late, and it was not until the 2002 Paralympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City that the Chinese sports delegation participated for the first time. At the 2022 Beijing Paralympic Winter Games, expect Chinese players to continue to create surprises. (Wang Hao)
