Love and gold medals are in the air at the 2026 Winter Olympics! ❄️ Chinese freestyle skiers Wang Xindi and Xu Mengtao just became the first married couple to both win individual golds at the same Winter Games – and their story is melting hearts worldwide. 💑
Wang, 30, stuck a gravity-defying aerial routine on Friday to claim men's gold with 132.60 points – just two days after his wife topped the women's podium. Switzerland's Noe Roth came agonizingly close (131.58) but couldn't match Wang's sky-high performance. 🚀
"I want to thank myself for not giving up," said Wang, who'd never finished better than 14th in two previous Olympics. "When things were hard, I'd like to give my past self a big hug." 🤗
The couple's secret? Balancing marriage and competition like pros. 🏔️ "We follow separate rhythms during events," Wang revealed. "Sometimes she has pointers… but in my heart, I understand." ❤️
This golden double comes as China continues to rise in winter sports, with Wang's victory marking the country's third freestyle skiing gold at Milano Cortina. 🇨🇳
