No rumors at all, the whole ceremony thing is very low key under covid atmosphere. My personal guess, first Chinese WOG gold medalist Yang Yang (Short Track 2002) or first Chinese WOG medalist Ye Qiaobo (Speed Skating 1992).

The best show of last night's Chinese new year gala. A dance drama inspired by Chinese famous painting of Song Dynasty a panorama of rivers and mountains.

Those who already arrived in Beijing but tested positive are somehow luckier, they just need to turn negative before the start. Those who are positive at home, they need another 4 days after turning negative before taking the flight.

https://www.tpenoc.net/news/beijing2022-team-tpe-participate-opening-and-closing-ceremony/ According to NOC website, Chinese Taipei decides to participate Beijing Olympics opening and closing ceremony after negotiations with IOC and claiming it will overcome the traffic difficulties and Covid-19 protocols concerns. Different from the enthusiasm to report its withdrawal, I didn’t see any English media report it yet. So you guys would be first batch of English users to know it.

Happy Year of The Tiger!

Rafa 21!! Unbelievable night!

I post this before and you could check previous pages

official Men: Gao Tingyu(Speed Skating) Women: Zhao Dan(Skeleton) Obviously my previous guess is all wrong.

My Guess for Gu Ailing(Freestyle Skiing) and Ning Zhongyan(Speed Skating) Unfortunately Sui Wenjing/Han Cong(Figure Skating) and Wu Dajing(Short Track Speed Skating) are scheduled with matches on the ceremony day, otherwise I may change my guess.

I am pretty sure some other nations will send ministers or ambassador/consul in China but the list is not yet released by Chinese authority so I don't have the source now.

I haven't been to Alpine Skiing location before. It's mountainous suburb of Beijing. Based on my observation of downtown Beijing, heavy snowfall or fog are not quite likely to happen. Heavy winds may be possible but I think it would not be heavy enough to postpone the match.

@Topicmaster1010's breakdown is quite right. I would say 7-8 golds are fair. 9-10 golds are possible considered host advantage. I voted 9-10 and I hope our athletes have a good performance at home.

I just knew the ranking from the news and Geng ranked 3rd. But I don’t have know the finishing time and the video is not revealed.

Oh there is one mistake. Jieke Kailiaosi refers to Jake Chelios. Yuan Junjie refers to Zach Yuen.

Quite accurate!

Not that surprise for Chinese fans. Yin Zheng has fastest start in China also start time record holder on Sidulda. This advantage will be enlarged on home track given every contender is quite familiar with. He finished as second and Yan Wengang finished as first which is also not surprised. On previous national matches on this track, Yan Wengang usually finished as 1st and Geng Wenqiang even ranked 6th on the track. If it’s not the games at home, the quotas would be decided by world ranking I guess. But it’s a home games, so the quotas are solely decided by the performance on this track.

Kolyada is replaced by Semenenko due to Covid positive.

I think it's the reason. You can only get a reallocation quota if not add an extra person.

I have no idea about the jersey now. Me and this account shared the same source. Originally the whole lists of all players could be found on Olympic system already open for registered media staff.
