The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics is about to kick off, and the short-track speed skating competition at the Capital Gymnasium will be one of the most anticipated sports for domestic audiences. Compared with the Summer Olympic Games, the competitiveness of the Chinese sports delegation in the Winter Olympics is slightly insufficient, and other sports except for short track speed skating in the ice event are difficult to become one of the favorites to win the championship. Even the proud figure skating pair skating has only the strength to rush the championship in several of the Winter Olympics. Snow sports have always been the weakness of the Chinese team, in addition to freestyle skiing aerial skills, biathlon, alpine skiing, ski jumping, cross-country skiing and other sports, few can see the figure of Chinese athletes.
At the upcoming Beijing Winter Olympics, the short track speed skating team is also expected to become the team with the largest number of gold medals contributed by the Chinese Olympic team. Among the many sports of the Winter Olympics, the most familiar and emotional thing for Chinese people is short track speed skating. Since the new century, the Chinese short track speed skating team has won a total of 11 gold medals in the Olympic Games. At the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, the short track speed skating competition will produce 9 gold medals, and the Chinese team set a target of 3 before the competition. How competitive will the Chinese team, led by Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei and Fan Kexin, be at the Beijing Winter Olympics? Turin Winter Olympics and Vancouver Winter Olympics champion Wang Meng also revealed his ideas in a guest show.
People familiar with short track speed skating know that Wang Meng's era was the heyday of Chinese women's short track speed skating, and her absolute dominance in the women's 500 meters event was even amazed by the International Skating Federation. At the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Wang Mao, who played for the First Winter Olympics, won the gold medal for the Chinese team in the women's 500 meters event, becoming the second Chinese athlete to win the 500 meters event after Dayang Yang. The Vancouver Winter Olympics was the pinnacle of Wang's career, winning the title of Best Female Athlete of the Season with three gold medals.
He could have won the women's 500m event in a three-game streak at the Sochi Winter Olympics, but when he was about to go out, Wang Meng was accidentally injured. This encounter not only made the Chinese women's team lose the opportunity to defend the relay, but also directly ruined Wang Meng's entire career. In the short track speed skating event of the Beijing Winter Olympics, Wang Meng is the one with the most right to speak. She said that the Chinese team needs to develop tactics, seize the flash of opportunity in the game, surpass the opponent and win the championship. Interestingly, Wang Meng also talked about the strange tactics of the head coach of the Chinese team's sworn enemy, the South Korean team.
She revealed that in order to be able to win the gold medal, the Coach of the South Korean team can be described as a frequent loss, such as interfering with the opponent with language, scaring the opponent with gestures, influencing the opponent with shouting, and even taking out different colored flags to disrupt the tactical deployment of other coaches on the field. Some netizens said, "The means of the South Korean team have been seen at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, coming to Beijing and coming to the home of the Chinese team, I don't believe they can still jump up." For the Chinese short track speed skating team, to win the gold medal, it not only needs superior skills, but also needs to be able to stay calm in the face of the "intrigue" of the main opponent!
