China's Han makes history with aerials gold

2月23日的都靈薩茲·杜克斯雪場見證了一個激情時刻——年僅二十二歲的中國小將韓曉鵬力克各路世界名將,勇奪自由式滑雪男子空中技巧項目金牌,創(chuàng)造三項紀(jì)錄,書寫了中國冬奧會新的歷史。這是中國自一九九四年年以來,在自由式滑雪空中技巧項目中獲得的首枚冬奧會金牌。  

China's Han makes history with aerials gold
Han Xiaopeng celebrates his gold medal 23 February, 2006 following the Turin 2006 Winter Olympics Freestyle Skiing Men's Aerials finals in Sauze d'Oulx, Italy.

Han Xiaopengmade historyby becoming the first Chinese skier to win Olympic gold with his sensational victory in the men'sfreestyle aerials finalhere on Thursday.

Han, who was competing in his first ever final, shocked everyone by taking goldahead ofBelarus' Dmitri Dashinski and Russia's Vladimir Lebedev. 

Han was second after the first jumps but his secondleap - a back-lay-double-full-full- secured 250.77 points to edge final jumper Dashinski.

The 22-year-old became the youngest gold medallist in mens aerials beating Switzerland's Andreas Schoenbaechler who was 27 years and 295 days when he took gold in 1994.

With reigning champion Ales Valenta of the Czech Republic and world champion Steve Omischl just of two big names to crash out in the qualifying the competition was there for the taking and Han took full advantage.

After the first round of jumps Dashinski, bronze medallist in Nagano 1998, led the way with 131.42 points with Han in second and American Jeret Peterson in third.

But the women's aerials on Wednesday, when Chinese jumpers occupied the top three slots only to finish with one silver, had shown that everything can change around in an instant on the second jump.

Lebedev, who failed to qualify for the final at the 2002 Games, was the surprise early leader but Han then nudged him from top spot and waited for Dashinski.

The Belarus jumper, whose silver represents his country's first medal at the Olympics, waited anxiously but held his hands on his head at placing second.

Peterson was another to be disappointed with the American loving his final jump, pumping his first in joy, but the judges didn't and placed him seventh.
