Introduction: If you want to use a name to represent women's short track speed skating, it must be Wang Meng.
Winning the championship is like walking the bend, Wang Meng: I don't want the second, I want the championship
At the 2006 Olympic Games in Turin, Wang Meng turned out to be the first gold for the Chinese team in the women's short track speed skating 500 meters. Since then, Wang Meng's track has officially taken off, with strong explosive force and rapid start, so that Wang Meng can open up the gap with other runners in the starting stage. On the speed skating track, the audience can only see Wang Meng thriving like a phoenix in the team, while desperately chasing her opponent behind her, like the phoenix's long tail feathers.
Wang Meng on the field defended his dominance with his domineering spirit and strength. Her explosive power, excellent cornering skills and impeccable defensive ability make it difficult for opponents to take advantage of her track. Since 2006, Wang Meng has gradually consolidated her position, and with her participation in the competition, the opponent can only compete for the second place.
It seems that before every legend is officially written, there must be a low point as a prologue. After a soaring day in 2006, Wang Meng was swept out by the national team. In 2007, the new coach of the national team, Li Yan, clashed with Wang Meng. At that time, Li Yan believed that the performance of the Chinese team in the team event had always been poor, and it was often suppressed by the Korean team in the team relay event, and it was not related to the championship. Li Yan believes that improving the overall strength of the national team is the only way out, while Wang Meng is not impressed, thinking that Li Yan's thinking is useless except to increase the training burden! In a fit of rage, Wang Meng withdrew from the national team. The national team that lost its main player, Wang Meng, returned home at the 2007 World Championships, and Wang Meng, who returned to the local area, has also been unknown.
In 2008, the two began to communicate and understand each other, and Li Yan also appointed Wang Meng as the captain of the Chinese short track speed skating team. The cooperation between the two became more and more tacit, and Wang Meng, who dominated the arena, returned!
The time came for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics. Wang Meng once again returned to the familiar Winter Olympic field, and the time had come to prove himself!
In the 500-meter event, Wang Meng broke the world record twice in the preliminary and semi-final stages, surprising the whole field, and her opponent was only herself. In this way, Wang Meng easily reached the final. On February 18th, the final starts!
The starting gun sounded, and Wang Meng immediately rushed out! Before he could turn a full lap, he opened the gap between the two positions with Mary Anne from Canada. When the game came to 36 seconds, Wang Meng was already far ahead, and the audience present knew that no one in this world could stop Wang Meng from winning the championship!
In the final lap, the last three runners began to speed up and make the final sprint. At this time, Wang Meng raised his hands behind his back and began to "walk". Four years ago, Hungary's fierce general Daranova and Wang Meng fought fiercely, and the two were inseparable, and Wang Meng finally won by a slight advantage. And four years later in Vancouver, no one in the world can be her opponent, and in the last five meters, Wang Meng opened her arms, slowed down, and calmly slid across the finish line.
However, Wang Meng, who was successfully crowned, did not immediately celebrate his highlight moment. She slid in front of Li Yan, knelt excitedly on the ice, and finally stood up and rushed into the arms of the coach.
In this way, Wang Meng officially declared his absolute rule over this project. The scene of her slowing down in front of the finish line is also deeply engraved in the minds of every opponent.
A few days later, Wang Meng reached the final of the 1000 meters with a cold. However, Wang Meng, who had a cold, still did not give his opponent any chance. Like the 500 meters, Wang Meng threw his opponent far away in the starting stage, and then calmly won the championship with his hands behind his back, just like the grandmother who went to the market to buy vegetables. Unlike 500 meters, the time for this "walk" seems to be longer.
In the 3000-meter relay final, Wang Meng finally stopped walking! She accelerated with all her might and led the team to victory over South Korea. The hairy boy who used to only care about personal achievements, this time he gave everything for the team! At the same time, Wang Meng completed his phoenix nirvana, became a well-deserved "Triple Crown King", and was also the first athlete after Li Ning to win gold multiple times at the same Olympic Games!
In 2018, Wang Meng was selected as the short track speed skating coach of the national team, and she is already standing at the top, helping the new generation of speed skaters to impact the next peak.
