On January 13, Beijing time, the second leg of the Beijing Winter Olympics short track speed skating selection competition was completed, and finally Li Wenlong and Fan Kexin qualified for the Beijing Winter Olympics. Although Ankai won the men's three championships, he did not have the advantage in points and was temporarily unable to obtain a ticket.
In the second leg of the selection competition, Ankai won the men's 500 meters, 1000 meters and 1500 meters, but the selection method stipulates that only those who achieve the standard score of skating in the Shougang Challenge can earn points. If you fail to exceed the standard score, even if you win the championship, you will not be able to earn points. According to this rule, although Ankai won the championship, his performance did not meet the standard, so he did not have any advantage in points. On the contrary, because he got more points in the match points, Li Wenlong finally ranked first in points. He also became the fourth Chinese short track male athlete to win a ticket to the Winter Olympics after Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei and Zhang Tianyi.
Born in 2001, Li Wenlong entered the national team in the 2019 season and participated in the World Cup. At the end of December 2020, he won the gold medal in the men's 1500m at the National Short Track Speed Skating Championships. At the end of October 2021, the men's 5,000m relay final of the ISU Short Track Speed Skating World Cup in Japan was the runner-up of the Chinese team composed of Li Wenlong, Ren Ziwei, Sun Long and Wu Dajing.
In the women's side, veteran Fan Kexin won the women's 500 meters championship for a row, ranking first in the total points, and got the ticket to the Winter Olympics as desired. In this regard, Fan Kexin said: "The second leg of the game is over, and I also learned that I got the ticket to the Winter Olympics. I hope that the moment I stand on the Olympic field, I will be able to burst out all my energy. In fact, we are trying to stand on the Olympic field, not for the auditions. In fact, the selection competition is to let the athletes play their best level, and then select the best people to stand on the Winter Olympic field. We all have one goal, that is, to win the championship, is to rush. ”
On the 14th, the third leg of the selection competition will be launched, and the athletes will compete for the remaining 1 male and 3 female Places in the Beijing Winter Olympic Games.
