Asian Winter Games: Liu Mengting’s second gold and Hong Kong’s high-scoring curlers
Liu, Han Linshan and Yang Ruyi ensure a second Chinese clean sweep in 24 hours, this time in freeski big air
China’s athletes won four gold medals at the Asian Winter Games on Wednesday, led by freestyle skier Liu Mengting’s second gold in 24 hours.
Liu’s latest triumph in Harbin came in the women’s freeski big air event.
A day after she led Yang Ruyi and Han Linshan in a Chinese clean sweep of the podium in the women’s freeski slopestyle, the same trio again filled the medal positions, with Han this time beating Yang to the silver.
The Chinese also collected all three medals in ski mountaineering’s mixed relay.
Two further golds came in cross-country skiing, in the women’s 4x5km relay and the men’s 4x7.5km relay.
Hong Kong’s Chow Hiu-yau was placed 13th after the women’s single skating short programme, with compatriot Joanna So 15th.
