South Korean media mocked the Chinese team for having zero golds but were proven wrong as the Winter Olympics medal standings update: China wins two golds in one day, surpassing South Korea.

On February 19th Beijing time, the 12th day of the Milan Winter Olympics ended in the early hours today. China had a spectacular day, claiming two gold medals in one day, firmly disproving the South Korean media’s taunts. The latest medal table update shows no change in the top three, with Norway extending its lead. China now stands 14th with 2 golds and 9 medals, ahead of South Korea, which ranks 15th!

For this Milan Winter Olympics, we sent the largest delegation aiming for medals, but the reality was harsh. Due to the gap in strength, we did not secure a single gold medal until the 11th day of competition. This outcome unsurprisingly drew ridicule from South Korean media, who claimed we only benefited from Beijing’s home advantage and faltered overseas. They also mocked that with 1.4 billion people, not winning a single gold was truly embarrassing. These words were painfully harsh!

Unexpectedly, just after being mocked by South Korean media for struggling to win gold, we witnessed a breakthrough in the following competition day, achieving a surge of two golds and one bronze. We won the men’s snowboard slopestyle gold and the women’s freestyle skiing aerials gold and bronze, striking back hard at the Korean media and leaving them utterly humiliated!

Currently, in the latest medal standings, the top nine spots are dominated by European and American countries. Norway leads impressively with 15 golds, far ahead of other powerhouses. Host Italy holds second place with 9 golds, while the United States ranks third, closely followed by Austria in eighth place. The highest-ranking Asian country is Japan with 5 golds in ninth place. China has temporarily secured 2 golds, 3 silvers, and 4 bronzes, ranking 14th, ahead of South Korea’s 2 golds, 2 silvers, and 3 bronzes at 15th. So far, 19 countries have won gold medals and 26 countries have earned medals overall!
