On the final weekend of the Winter Olympics, China won another Olympic gold. In figure skating, Sui Wenjing and Han Cong became Olympic champions in the pairs event on Saturday. It was gold medal number eight and nine for the host country. China’s Olympic performance in Beijing is thus significantly better than at the 2018 Pyeongchang Games. Even though China was unable to score in classic winter sports such as alpine skiing, ski jumping, or biathlon, the hosts can definitely consider this medal haul a success.
