In a compelling start to the wheelchair curling mixed doubles at the Milano Cortina 2026 Paralympic Winter Games, China's Wang Meng and Yang Jinqiao outclassed Japan's Aki Ogawa and Yoji Nakajima with a decisive 10-3 victory in their opening round-robin session.

This event marks the Paralympic debut of wheelchair curling mixed doubles, kicking off the Games two days ahead of the official opening ceremony, an exciting prelude to the festivities.

The Chinese duo showcased their prowess by scoring four points in the third end, systematically extending their lead and outmaneuvering the reigning world champions with an effortless grace that belied the competition's intensity.
