The 2026 Winter Olympics have seen many wild stories unfold, but a Chinese couple have social media buzzing over their rare accomplishment in Milan-Cortina.

Wang Xindi and his wife Xu Mengtao achieved an unheard of feat this winter after both members of the family secured gold medals in Italy.

The even wilder part about their accomplishment is that the Chinese couple medaled in the same discipline in the men’s and women’s aerial events.

Mengtao previously won an Olympic gold medal back in 2022 and successfully defended her title this time around. Meanwhile, Xindi secured his first gold at an Olympic Games on Friday, which had fans cheering online.

For Xindi, the rare Olympic moment was made even sweeter given that 2026 marks his third Winter Olympics he has competed in.

“We celebrated her gold, but I was also quick to refocus on to my own event”, Xindi said following the event (via The Strait Times). “We’ve battled together for years, but we’re also professionals.”
