On January 15, the Beijing Winter Olympics China short track speed skating list was officially released, the men's team led by Wu Dajing, and the other four were: Ren Ziwei, Sun Long, Li Wenlong, and Zhang Tianyi. The women's team is led by veteran Fan Kexin, who won the place after the second leg of the selection competition, and the other players are: Zhang Yuting, Qu Chunyu, Zhang Chutong, Han Yutong.
Among them, Ankai did not have the opportunity to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics, such news caused great concern from the outside world, many people said that Ankai as the six champions of the selection competition, but did not get the winter Olympic qualifications, which has a direct impact on him personally and China's short track speed skating relay, and the rules of short track speed skating selection in this Winter Olympics have also been complained about.
This Winter Olympics because it is a battle at the doorstep, so the attention of the outside world is very high, in addition to Wu Dajing and other people because of the World Cup sub-station champion to get the Winter Olympics tickets in advance, other players need to pass the 3-stop selection competition to compete for the final Winter Olympic qualification. The first place in the male and female points of each selection competition can be promoted to the Winter Olympics, and Zhang Tianyi and Fan Kexin and other 4 people got tickets because of this. At the same time, Han Yutong and Zhang Chutong also entered the Beijing Winter Olympics because of their higher overall rankings.
Among them, Ankai won the men's three golds in the second and third trials, and achieved the great cause of the six crowns in the selection competition, but unfortunately, his championship results did not reach the standard, according to the rules, he could not get points, the points were insufficient, so even if Ankai won the six crowns, the performance in the selection competition was indeed very eye-catching, but still regrettably lost the Beijing Winter Olympics.
This is a big blow to Ankai, so many years of hard work are to participate in the Winter Olympics at the doorstep, and the selection competition has indeed paid all of its own, won the most championships among all the players, and indeed did not qualify for the Beijing Winter Olympics, the degree of regret can be imagined. Ankai was a sparring partner for the national team in 2017, an absolute main force in the national team in 2021, he won a seat for China in the 21/20 World Cup, and the Chinese short track speed skating Olympic Trials had a total of 9 championships, he took 6, and still failed.
Ankai's absence, the impact on China's short track speed skating relay is still relatively large, on the night of the opening of February 5, the mixed group relay has the heavy responsibility of impacting the first gold, and now Ankai's defeat has also caused great controversy, but the helpless is that the list is out and cannot be modified.
