2月16日,中國(guó)選手申雪、趙宏博獲溫哥華冬奧會(huì)花樣滑冰雙人滑金牌,實(shí)現(xiàn)了我國(guó)花滑項(xiàng)目奧運(yùn)金牌零突破。賽后,新華社的一篇報(bào)道這樣評(píng)論道:
Now, the golden dream has come true. It has been China's first ever Olympic title in figure skating. And Shen and Zhao become the first ever non-European couple to top the Olympic pairs podium in history, snapping a 12-Games winning streak of Russia who had dominated the Olympic figure skating pairs events for 46 years.

中國(guó)隊(duì)短道速滑項(xiàng)目可謂雙喜臨門。2月17日,都靈冬奧會(huì)冠軍王濛在溫哥華冬奧會(huì)短道速滑女子500米決賽中衛(wèi)冕成功,為中國(guó)代表團(tuán)奪得本屆冬奧會(huì)的第二塊金牌。沖過終點(diǎn)后,王濛第一時(shí)間來到了恩師李琰的面前,雙膝跪在冰面上,磕了兩個(gè)頭,再奮力沖向護(hù)欄,與紅了眼眶的李琰緊緊擁抱在一起。

就在大家都在猜測(cè)王濛是否能夠趁勝追擊,為中國(guó)隊(duì)再下一金時(shí),令人震驚的消息傳來。在短道速滑女子1500米的半決賽中,王濛被判犯規(guī)而意外出局,另一隊(duì)員孫琳琳也未能晉級(jí),只剩下18歲的小將周洋闖入了決賽。在決賽中孤軍奮戰(zhàn)的周洋不僅面臨著三名韓國(guó)選手的夾擊,還要應(yīng)對(duì)美國(guó)選手卡莉娜·羅伯格的干擾,形勢(shì)相當(dāng)復(fù)雜和混亂;然而,周洋最終力挽狂瀾,奪得了中國(guó)在冬奧會(huì)這個(gè)項(xiàng)目歷史上的首枚金牌,。

我國(guó)速滑短距離名將王北星也是本次冬奧會(huì)的熱門人物,賽前人們對(duì)她能否在速度滑冰女子500米比賽中奪冠有諸多猜測(cè)。然而,她最終以總成績(jī)76秒63獲得銅牌,未能實(shí)現(xiàn)中國(guó)速度滑冰冬奧金牌零突破。賽后,王北星接受采訪坦言,結(jié)果還算滿意,但第一次滑的有些緊張留下遺憾,四年后肯定會(huì)繼續(xù)追逐冬奧金牌夢(mèng)想。
Wang Beixing will be returning to China with a bronze medal after sliding onto the podium in the 500 meter speed skating event.
Wang Beixing was a major hope for the country's second gold medal at the Winter Games. But it wasn't to be as South Korea's Lee Sang-hwa claimed gold with a time of 76 point 09 seconds. She blitzed reigning world record holder Jenny Wolf into second by five hundredths of a second. After a tough competition, Wang finished with 76 point 63 seconds to settle for bronze.
