❄️ On Nov 21, 2025, in Cortina, Italy, China’s Yin Zheng snagged bronze in the men’s skeleton at the IBSF World Cup, sliding head-first down the famous Eugenio Monti track in a record-setting 56.79 s first run! 🥉
His second run (57.23 s) left him with a combined time of 1:54.02—enough to keep that podium spot. Britain’s Matt Weston topped the event with gold, and Austria’s Samuel Maier took silver.
China’s squad didn’t stop there: Chen Wenhao and Zhu Haifeng tied for 8th, Lin Qinwei came in 16th, while on the women’s side, Zhao Dan finished 8th (1:56.96) and Li Yuxi was 18th.
Skeleton might sound extreme—face-first at over 120 km/h on a mini-sled—but it’s a precise, data-driven sport. Think of it like the fastest, coolest IRL speedrun! If you’re all about tech meets thrill, Yin’s run is pure inspiration. 💻🎮
Stay frosty, Asia—winter sports are heating up with stories like this! 🌨️
