Dutch speed skating legend Ireen Wust will become the only summer or winter Olympian to win individual gold at five separate Games if she claims a title in Beijing. She will compete in the 1000m, 1500m and team pursuit.
如果荷蘭速度滑冰傳奇人物艾琳·伍斯特在北京奪冠,她將成為唯一一位獲得五枚個人金牌的夏季或冬季奧運會選手。她將參加1000米、1500米和團體追逐賽。
The 35-year-old has won 11 Olympic medals since her debut in Turin, in 2006. Included in that haul are five golds, of which four are for competing in an individual event. At Beijing 2022 she will go for a record fifth consecutive individual crown.
自2006年在都靈首次亮相以來,這位35歲的選手已經獲得11枚奧運獎牌,其中包括五枚金牌(四枚來自個人項目)。在北京2022年冬奧會上,她將為個人五連冠而戰。
Claudia Pechstein
克勞迪婭·佩希施泰因
The 49-year-old German will become the oldest woman to compete at a Winter Olympics in Beijing and the second athlete - and only woman - to compete in eight Winter Games.
這位49歲的德國運動員將成為北京冬奧會年齡最大的女將,也是第二位參加八屆冬奧會的運動員,同時是唯一一位獲此成就的女性運動員。
Pechstein, a five-time Olympic champion, qualified in the mass start, an event that debuted four years ago in Pyeongchang and features up to 24 skaters racing 16 laps at the same time. Many of her competitors weren’t born when she won her first Olympic medal, a bronze at the 1992 Albertville Games.
五屆奧運會冠軍佩希施泰因,獲得了速度滑冰女子集體出發參賽資格。該項目四年前在平昌首次亮相,最多有24名滑冰運動員同時進行16圈比賽。佩希施泰因的許多對手在她贏得第一枚奧運獎牌時還沒出生,她在1992年阿爾貝維爾冬奧會上獲得了銅牌。
Arianna Fontana
阿麗安娜·方塔娜
Italian short track legend Arianna Fontana has won eight Winter Olympic medals for Italy, the most for any female short track skater. Only three short track skaters in today's world have won eight Olympic medals: Fontana, Apolo Ohno (male) of the US and Viktor An (male) of Russia.
意大利短道速滑傳奇人物阿麗安娜·方塔娜為該國贏得八枚冬奧會獎牌,是女子短道速滑運動員中獲得獎牌最多的。全球只有三位短道速滑運動員達到此成就,他們是方塔娜、美國的阿波羅·奧諾(男)和俄羅斯的維克多·安(男)。
Since both Ohno and An have retired, Fontana will have the record all to herself if she stands on the podium again at Beijing 2022. The 31-year-old has entered her 16th season and prepares for her fifth Winter Olympics.
由于奧諾和安已經退役,如果方塔娜在北京冬奧會上再次站上領獎臺,她將創造新的紀錄。這位31歲的選手參加了16個賽季,并為她的第五屆冬奧會做著準備。
Akito Watabe
渡部曉斗
Akito Watabe is eyeing his fifth Olympic Winter Games at Beijing 2022. The 33-year-old is a two-time silver medalist in the men’s individual normal hill 10-kilometer event, reaching the podium at the 2014 Sochi Olympics and again four years later in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
渡部曉斗正瞄準了他的第五屆奧運會——北京冬奧會。這位33歲的選手曾兩度獲得北歐兩項男子個人標準臺+10公里越野滑雪比賽銀牌,繼2014索契冬奧會登領獎臺后,2018年在韓國平昌再次獲得銀牌。
Watabe made his Games debut at Turin 2006 while he was still in high school in Hakuba, Nagano prefecture, one of Japan’s skiing hotbeds. He was overall Nordic combined World Cup champion for the 2017-18 season, becoming only the second Japanese athlete to achieve the feat.
渡部曉斗在2006都靈冬奧會上首次亮相,當時他還在日本滑雪勝地之一的長野縣白馬村讀高中。渡部曉斗是2017-18賽季北歐兩項世界杯總冠軍,是第二個獲此殊榮的日本運動員。
Martins Dukurs
馬丁·杜庫爾斯
The 37-year-old possesses the most glittering record in world skeleton. Eight times an IBSF World Cup winner, having won 50 times on the circuit, the Latvian is also a five-time world champion and a nine-time European champion.
這位37歲的拉脫維亞選手擁有最耀眼的鋼架雪車世界紀錄。杜庫爾斯曾八次獲得國際雪車和鋼架雪車聯合會世界杯冠軍,并在巡回賽中獲得50次冠軍,他還是五屆世界冠軍和九屆歐洲冠軍。
Known by his fellow competitors as "Superman", his quest for Olympic gold, however, remains ongoing. A silver medalist at Vancouver 2010 and Sochi 2014, he missed out on the podium altogether at Pyeongchang 2018, finishing fourth.
杜庫爾斯被其他選手稱為 "超人",但他對奧運金牌的追求仍在繼續。作為2010年溫哥華冬奧會和2014年索契冬奧會的銀牌得主,他在2018年平昌冬奧會上錯失領獎臺,獲得第四名。
Xu Mengtao
徐夢桃
Xu Mengtao is one of the most decorated athletes in her sport, aerial freestyle skiing. The 31-year-old Chinese claimed her 26th Freestyle Skiing World Cup win with a victory in the aerials event in Finland last December.
徐夢桃是自由式滑雪空中技巧項目成績最耀眼的運動員之一。去年12月,這位31歲的中國選手在芬蘭獲得自由式滑雪空中技巧賽冠軍,贏得了她的第26個自由式滑雪世界杯冠軍。
Despite her prowess, however, the most elusive of medals still evades her: an Olympic gold. She came desperately close in Sochi in 2014, claiming the silver. After three Games of hurt, this will be her fourth try.
盡管表現出色,徐夢桃仍與奧運金牌無緣。2014年,她在索契獲得了銀牌,離金牌僅一步之遙。經歷了三屆冬奧會之痛,這將是她的第四次參賽。
Charles Hamelin
查爾斯·哈梅林
Short-track speedskating star Charles Hamelin has become a Canadian fixture of the Winter Olympics, an almost sure bet to climb the medal podium. Beijing 2022 will be the 37-year-old's fifth and final Olympic appearance.
短道速滑明星查爾斯·哈梅林已成為加拿大冬奧會固定選手,他幾乎肯定會登上領獎臺。北京冬奧會將是這位37歲的老將第五次也是最后一次參加冬奧會。
The skater has five Olympic medals, including three gold. Hamelin won the 1,500 meters - his 12th world title - at the world championships last spring, the Canadian team's first international competition in more than a year due to COVID-19.
這位滑冰運動員擁有五枚奧運獎牌,其中包括三枚金牌。哈梅林在去年春天的世錦賽上贏得短道1500米冠軍,這是他的第12個世界冠軍。由于新冠疫情,這也是加拿大隊在一年多的時間里第一次參加國際比賽。
Liu Jiayu
劉佳宇
Since starting in the sport in 2003, Chinese snowboarder Liu Jiayu had shone on the international stage, winning six World Cup events and becoming a victor at the FIS Snowboarding World Championships in 2009.
自2003年開始從事單板滑雪運動以來,中國單板滑雪運動員劉佳宇在國際舞臺上大放異彩,贏得了六場世界杯比賽,并在2009年成為國際雪聯單板滑雪世界錦標賽的冠軍。
Pyeongchang, her third Winter Games, was her first Olympic podium after she just missed out in finishing fourth in her Winter Games debut in Vancouver, Canada, back in 2010 as a teenager. Liu took silver in the women's halfpipe at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics.
平昌冬奧會是她的第三屆冬奧會,也是她第一次登上奧運領獎臺,此前她在2010年溫哥華冬奧會首秀中獲得第四名,當時她還未成年。劉佳宇在平昌冬奧會上獲得了女子U型場地技巧賽銀牌。
Cai Xuetong
蔡雪桐
Cai Xuetong is already a snowboarding pioneer in China, but a podium at Beijing 2022 would set her legacy in stone. In 2009, she became the first Chinese snowboarder to win the FIS World Youth Snowboarding Championships, blazing a trail for Chinese shredders.
蔡雪桐已經是中國單板滑雪運動的先鋒,但在北京冬奧會登上領獎臺將鞏固她的地位。2009年,她成為第一個贏得國際雪聯世界青年單板滑雪錦標賽的中國選手,為中國單板滑雪運動員開辟了一條道路。
Fast forward 13 years, and the halfpipe hero is a double world champion, landing 27 podiums at 37 World Cups with 12 wins. With the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games in her back yard this February, Cai is ready to set the snow on fire at her fourth Olympics and claim the biggest prize of all: that elusive Olympic medal.
13年間,這位U型場地英雄成為雙料世界冠軍,在37場世界杯比賽中,她27次登上領獎臺,收獲了12次冠軍。今年2月,北京冬奧會就在她的祖國舉辦,蔡雪桐準備在她的第四屆奧運會上點燃冰雪激情,沖擊最高榮譽奧運會金牌。
