On January 15, Beijing time, the list of the Chinese short track speed skating team Beijing Winter Olympics was released. The men's team list includes Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei, Sun Long, Li Wenlong and Zhang Tianyi. The women's team list includes Zhang Yuting, Fan Kexin, Qu Chunyu, Zhang Chutong and Han Yutong. A total of 10 men and women played at home, and the two famous players who had previously been pinned high hopes suffered different troubles and lost the election.
Careful viewers did not find Han Tianyu and Li Jinyu in this list, and indeed, they both failed. Han Tianyu participated in the 2014 Sochi and 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics and won the silver medal in the 1500 meters. Entering the Beijing Winter Olympics cycle, Han Tianyu's state fluctuated somewhat, and his body also had some injuries.
During the Beijing Winter Olympic season, Han Tianyu participated in the World Cup competition, but the overall results were not satisfactory, and he missed this selection competition and lost in a reasonable way. At present, Wu Dajing and Ren Ziwei are the vanguard of the Chinese men's team, and Wu Dajing's 500 meters, Ren Ziwei's 1000 meters and 1500 meters are all hoping to win medals.
Lee Jin-woo made a splash at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics, but then disappeared from the audience's field of vision. It is understood that Li Jinyu is in poor physical condition and is plagued by injuries, but the little girl has not given up, and she is looking forward to recovering her health and returning to the team as soon as possible.
On the afternoon of January 15, Han Tianyu posted on Weibo: "I'm sorry to disappoint everyone this time. Attending the Winter Olympics on my doorstep has always been my dream, but this time I'm going to say goodbye to my dreams. Leo, I'm sorry, Dad broke his word. Thank you to the fans who have always supported me, thank you to my family, it was you who gave me strength when I was most helpless! I will adjust my mentality as soon as possible and work hard to rehabilitate, promising you that "Han YiDao" will come back soon! ”
Although he did not qualify for the Beijing Winter Olympics, he also hoped that Han Tianyu would recover well and continue to refuel! The short track speed skating team has always been a strong contender for medals in China's winter sports, after as many as 10 of the 13 Winter Olympic gold medals won by the Chinese team came from short track speed skating. In this season's short track speed skating World Cup competition, Wu Dajing still showed a good competitiveness, and the state showed a situation of first suppressing and then rising.
In a previous interview, Mr. Wu said his best form would be at the Beijing Winter Olympics. In this season's World Cup, Ren Ziwei won 3 individual gold medals. Ren Ziwei once said bluntly that he has the strength to impact the gold medal of the Winter Olympics in five sports. The other three players in the men's team, Sun Long, Li Wenlong and Zhang Tianyi, are all post-00s, and the Beijing Winter Olympics will be their first Winter Olympics.
The women's team is relatively experienced, Fan Kexin has previously participated in the Sochi Winter Olympics and the Pingchang Winter Olympics, of which he won the runner-up in the women's 1000 meters at the Sochi Winter Olympics. Han Yutong and Qu Chunyu have participated in the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, while the other two members of the women's team, Zhang Chutong and Zhang Yuting, are participating in the Winter Olympics for the first time, and they stood out in the selection competition in January this year and won the Winter Olympics. According to the schedule, the short track speed skating event at the Beijing Winter Olympics will begin on February 5, and a gold medal will be produced in the mixed 2,000-meter relay event on the same day. Come on Chinese team!
