"Through these years we have won five silver medal. We did all we need to do but we are just not lucky enough." Zhang became the second-oldest athlete from China to claim an individual medal at Winter Olympics, after speed skater Wang Manli won silver medal in the women's 500-metre in 2006. "Hopefully we can make our dreams come true in the 2022 Beijing Olympics," added Zhang, who placed 13th in Sochi 2014. "The Olympic Games are such a big competition. I had a lot of pressure but I was able to control it. I set a goal to enter the final. I made it. I was confident for this competition as the Chinese are so good at aerial skiing," said 24-year-old Kong, who is competing in her first Winter Olympics. China has claimed five silver medal and two bronze medals in the women's aerial since it became an official medal event at the 1994 Winter Olympic Games.
