With 11 days to go until the Beijing Winter Olympics, the South Korean short track speed skating team also officially announced the list of athletes participating in the Beijing Winter Olympics after the Chinese short track speed skating team announced the Olympic list, as the biggest threat to the Chinese team. From the perspective of the overall lineup, the main force of the South Korean team is exhausted, and in the women's team, the world's first Choi Min-jing, the famous player Lee Yoo-bin, the Olympic champion Kim Ya-lang, as well as Seo Hui-min and Park Ji-yun joined forces. On the men's team, Olympic champion Hwang Dae-hyun, world champions Lee Joon-seok, Park Jang-hyuk, Koo Yun-ki and Kim Dong-wook formed an all-star team. At the upcoming Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chinese short track speed skating team aims to win 3 gold medals.
Among them, the mixed men's and women's relays, men's 1000 meters and 1500 meters will directly play the peak duel with the Korean team. After the South Korean team announced the Olympic list, many domestic ice fans said that the South Korean team lineup is too strong, and it is not easy for the Chinese team to win the championship. At the last Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, the South Korean team, which played at home, won the women's 1500 meters, women's relay and men's 1500 meters events, becoming the biggest winner. At this Beijing Winter Olympics, they are still the favorites to win the championship. Especially in the women's four events, Cui Minjing alone has the strength to compete for gold medals in three events.
As the defending champion of the women's 1500m event, the long-distance queen strives to equal China's Zhou Yang, setting two consecutive title records at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver and Sochi. The Chinese team and the South Korean team have always been a pair of old enemies in the world short track speed skating field, from the women's team's confrontation 10 years ago, to the current men's team you chase me, the competition between the two teams has also become the biggest attraction of the short track speed skating field of the Winter Olympics. To some extent, if the Chinese team wants to achieve the best record in Olympic history, the Korean team must pass the hurdle. The Korean team's lineup as a whole shows the characteristics of the old with the new.
Lin Xiaojun of the men's team has joined the Chinese nationality, Olympic champion Park Shengzhi has retired, and Shen Shixi has been banned for personal reasons. At this Winter Olympics, the leaders of the Men's and Women's Events of the Korean team are Hwang Dae-hyun and Choi Min-jing. At the Beijing Winter Olympics, short track speed skating will produce nine gold medals, and the Chinese and South Korean teams are expected to win two-thirds of them. In terms of individual competitions, in the men's 500m event, Wu Dajing will face Huang Daxian, and the two won the championship and runner-up at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics respectively. In the men's 1000m and 1500m, Ren Ziwei of the Chinese team will stage a strong dialogue with Guo Runqi. In the relay event, the Chinese team and the South Korean team are on a par, which depends on the use of on-the-spot techniques and tactics and the play of the team members.
In terms of the women's team, the gap between the Chinese team and the South Korean team is very obvious, and in the women's 500 meters event, Fan Kexin has always been difficult to shoulder the heavy responsibility. Coming to his home field, I don't know if the world champion can break through the boat and spell out himself. The women's 1000m and 1500m are the world of South Koreans Choi Min-jing and Lee Yoo-bin, and it is difficult for Han Yutong and Qu Chunyu of the Chinese team to compete with them. In the women's relay event, the Chinese team has the strength to challenge the Korean team. The Olympic lineup of the biggest opponents has been released, and the remaining period of time will depend on how the Chinese short track speed skating team develops effective tactics and secret weapons to compete with them in the Olympic arena.
