Blog: Short Track Speed Skating — China’s Strongest Winter Olympic Event

From Lake Placid in 1980 to Pyeongchang in 2018, the Chinese Winter Olympic Games delegation has won 62 medals, including 13 golds, 28 silvers, and 21 bronzes.

Short track speed skating is undoubtedly China’s best event: among the 13 gold medals, 10 were in this sport, while the country won one each in speed skating, figure skating, and freestyle skiing. Fifteen of the 28 silvers and eight of the 21 bronzes were from short track speed skating.
