On January 17, the eve stage of the 2022 Winter Olympics near the opening, the Chinese sports team announced the big list of short track speed skating teams, of which the 25-year-old famous Han Tianyu, because of injuries did not qualify for this Winter Olympic Games at home, due to regret, Han Tianyu was also excited and tearful when interviewed by the media, obviously helpless, unable to realize his dream.
Han Tianyu, a native of Fushun, Liaoning Province, is 25 years old, and began practicing short track speed skating at the age of 10, and Han Tianyu, 15, became the champion of the national championship and took the opportunity to enter the national team and compete in international competitions. So far in his career, Han Tianyu has won several world championship titles, the first world championship was in 2015, and before that, he won the silver medal in the 1500 meters at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. At that time, Han Tianyu was regarded as the future star of China's short track speed skating.
It is worth mentioning that in the last 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, Han Tianyu suffered a recurrence of old injuries during the training process, resulting in a poor final performance, and the only result was to represent the Chinese team in the 5000m relay and finish second.
For this reason, Han Tianyu has been actively preparing for the past 4 years, in order to perform well at the Beijing Winter Olympics at the doorstep, during which Han Tianyu won the relay championship many times, especially in the 2019 short track speed skating World Cup Canada, when the mixed men's and women's 2000 meters relay final, the Chinese team was once behind, relying on Han Tianyu's hard fight to achieve a shocking reversal.
It is a pity that Han Tianyu, who worked so hard, still missed the Beijing Winter Olympics because of injury, which is extremely regrettable, which is a shattering dream chasing. Han Tianyu himself once said: "I dream of going to the Olympic Games every day and participating in 3 Olympic Games, which shows that I have insisted on it for 12 years." ”
Unable to get the Beijing Winter Olympics, Han Tianyu also cried in the face of the interview, and said that he was sorry for his son, and his speech made people feel painful. In an interview with the media, Han Tianyu said: "I am mainly because of injuries, although I am actively preparing for the battle, I still have a waist injury. It's sad, I dream every day that I appear in the Winter Olympics, and now I can't participate in the competition because of injury, which is a pity. ”
On his personal social media account, Han Tianyu said that he was sorry for his son: "Participating in the Winter Olympics at my doorstep has always been my dream, but this time I have to say goodbye to my dream." Leo, I'm sorry, Dad broke his word. "Han Tianyu's family is very happy, his wife Liu Qiuhong is also a speed skater, 8 years older than Han Tianyu, the two have been very affectionate, married in 2018, liu Qiuhong gave birth to a child for Han Tianyu in 2019.
In the Olympic Games once every four years, it is a pity for athletes to work hard for 4 years but cannot participate, not to mention the world champion athletes like Han Tianyu. Although Han Tianyu is only 25 years old and has the opportunity to participate in the Winter Olympics in the future, he will not be able to participate in the Winter Olympics held on his doorstep. But no matter what, Han Tianyu could only accept the facts, recuperate well, and look forward to the return of his king in the future!
