Introduction: Wang Meng fouled out, and the Chinese team fell into an unprecedented crisis. At the critical moment, Zhou Yang faced the opponent's encirclement and interception, killed the siege, and won the championship.
In 2006, Wang Meng won the gold medal in the women's 500 meters of short track speed skating at the Turin Olympics. Wang Meng's strong strength and domineering roar were firmly engraved in the minds of every audience. At the same year's World Youth Championships, Chinese teenager Zhou Yang won the women's short track 1500 meters at the World Youth Championships in Romania. In the legendary year of 2006, she was not a star on stage. What she didn't know was that in Vancouver in 2010, the world's top players would be her foil, and a miracle awaited her witness.
In 2007, Zhou Yang finally came to prominence in adult competitions. Zhou Yang won the bronze medal in the women's 1000 meters and 3000 meters events at the short track speed skating World Championships, and in the women's 3000 meters relay, Zhou Yang once again took on the heavy responsibility and won the silver medal, which also proved that Zhou Yang got the ticket to the world's top master club.
In 2008. Zhou Yang ushered in the development period of his short track speed skating career. At the Canadian sub-station of the 2008 World Cup, Zhou Yang successfully won the women's 1000 meters of short track speed skating and led the Chinese team to the championship of the 3000 meters relay. At that year's World Championships, Zhou Yang won another silver medal in the 1000 meters and a bronze medal in the 1500 meters, at this time it was only two years away from the Vancouver Winter Olympics, if Zhou Yang could maintain his competitive state, the Olympic podium would have her figure!
However, players from all over the world will not sit still. The Players from the United States, Canada, and South Korea will not let the young Chinese player get his wish, especially the South Korean team: in order to prevent Zhou Yang from winning the championship, they will do everything in the game!
The Korean team is the traditional strong team in winter ice events, and in the team 3000m relay event, the Korean team won all the gold medals from 1994 to 2006. The Korean team attaches great importance to the cultivation of group strength, and The iceberg project in South Korea has a good mass base, and its "ice population" is far more than that of China. If Zhou Yang, who fights alone, is a fierce tiger, then the South Korean team that fights in groups is a group of hungry wolves. Zhou Yang's game in the Vancouver cycle is to fight alone in the siege and interception of South Korea!
In the final of the 2008 Short Track Speed Skating World Championships in Japan, Zhou Yang alone encountered three South Korean players, and at that time, Zhou Yang did not give the Korean team any chance to overtake. However, at this time, South Korea's Jeong Eun-joo forced himself into the inner passage and swung a heavy fist on Zhou Yang's helmet, and Zhou Yang lost his balance and fell out, losing the gold medal that should have belonged to her! In the end, Jeong Eun-joo was cancelled for fouls, but the South Korean team still won the gold medal. It can be said that in the face of such a "suicide" style of play, it is already difficult to finish the race completely.
Fast forward to 2010. As Wang Meng missed the final, as the only Chinese player to make it to the final, she was under great pressure on the crowded 8-person track (which has been rare in previous Winter Olympics and World Cups) with a crowd of masters.
The game began, and Zhou Yang struggled to be the first! She picked up quickly and came to the first place. The three South Koreans, who clearly have a stronger group advantage, are in hot pursuit, and Catherine of the United States has always maintained a top position. Zhou Yang was in the leading position for most of the time. The accident suddenly happened, the Korean player who had just surpassed the first place and the second place Catherine collided, and Catherine reached back to interfere with Zhou Yang! Zhou Yang was calm and tenacious and struggled to impact under the interference of American catherine, she first followed the group in the rear, and gradually surpassed the second place!
Obviously, there was no one left to stop her! She overtook the last Korean runner and achieved a huge lead with legendary explosive power! She defeated the multinational group, which included three South Korean players!
Her results were breathtaking, and she also won the third gold medal for the Chinese team at the Winter Olympics, which was also the first time in China's history that she won three gold medals in a winter Olympics. Zhou Yang's gold medal also created two other records, she broke the monopoly of South Korean athletes for two consecutive years, becoming the first short track speed skating 1500m Winter Olympic gold medalist in the history of China's short track, and also became China's youngest Winter Olympic champion!
