I am sure she and team did work behind the scenes as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That program was completely nonexistent a few years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The IBSF has modified their qualifying document to say that women ranked under 55 (no longer 45) are eligible.

If two guys can beat him on this track, they must be top notch. Yin Zheng is like the 4th best Chinese with very few experience abroad, but it doesn't matter in the end. He's seemingly really fast at the start, if he can carry this speed to the finish line we may have a big surprise ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Sure, I used Geng as a benchmark for international comparison since we don't have any way to evaluate how the Chinese athlete will fare against the likes of Dukurs or Tretiakov. Btw do you have links for this results ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
