Lin Xiaocheng regretted that he did not win the men's 1000m short track speed skating medal, he competed in the ISU Short Track Speed Skating World Cup in Dordrecht, and advanced to the 1/4 final in the second preliminary round and second in the preliminary round of the men's 1000m. In the evening 1/4 final, Lin Xiaocheng successfully advanced, but unfortunately in the subsequent semifinal group 1 match, he ranked fourth in the group with 1:24.064 and advanced to the final of Group B, unable to compete directly for a medal. By the FB (Final B Group), Lin Xiaocheng came out on top, ranking first. Although he missed the medal, it was his best result in the event of the season, after finishing 17th in the 1000m in Dresden.
It is a pity that Lin Xiaocheng ranked fourth in the group in the semifinals, his time was 1 minute 24.064 seconds, during the competition, Lin Xiaocheng started and ranked third, and then he accelerated to improve the ranking, and now he was second, but the Polish player fell, which also directly affected Lin Xiaocheng's speed, he slipped directly to fourth, and then did not reverse, and finally the fourth in the group did not advance to the final of Group A for the medal, and could only participate in the final of Group B.
The Polish player's fall directly affected Lin Xiaocheng, not Lin Xiaocheng fouled, because the post-match report showed that the referee's decision was no foul, and neither side was responsible. But the fall of the Polish player really affected Lin Xiaocheng, making the speed of the Chinese team drop significantly, and there was a chance to counterattack, so many netizens on social media angrily criticized the Polish player, wasting Lin Xiaocheng's current good state.
Lin Xiaocheng is indeed in good shape, although he did not have the opportunity to compete for a medal, but in the final of Group B, Lin Xiaocheng staged the last lap directly from the bottom to the first cross, and also staged his first outside overtake of the season, directly jumping to the first position, which is indeed very burning.
Obviously, Lin Xiaocheng is also holding his breath, his good state did not qualify for the final of Group A, and the fall of his opponent is directly related. In the final of Group B, Lin Xiaocheng broke out with a lap and directly won the first place, once again proved his strength, and also successfully won the first place in Group B, ending his men's 1000m race in this event.
Lin Xiaocheng will also compete in the men's 500m and men's 5000m relay races, of which in the men's 500m competition, Lin Xiaocheng first in the preliminary round, the first in the preliminary round and the first in the preliminary round advanced to the 1/4 final, and the next race will be held on February 12, looking forward to Lin Xiaocheng's performance.
