In the short track speed skating event of the Winter Olympics, the Chinese team and the South Korean team have always been old rivals, and today we want to review the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, where The Chinese team's Lee Kin Rou pressured the South Korean team Park Seung-chi and others to win the championship, and this game can also be called the most dramatic battle in the history of the Winter Olympics.
Pre-match looking down
There are three Chinese players participating in the women's 500m short track speed skating event at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, including Fan Kexin, Liu Qiuhong and Li Jianrou.
Among them, Fan Kexin was the 2011 and 2012 World Championship champion and one of the biggest favorites to win the Winter Olympics.
Liu Qiuhong is also very strong, she won the Asian Winter Games championship and is also considered to be likely to make a breakthrough in the 500-meter event in Sochi.
Li Jianrou was not optimistic at that time, in addition to fame and achievements, the most important thing is that Li Jianrou was previously a long-distance player in the main event. This can be seen from the 2012 National Winter Games, Li Jianrou won the 500-meter palace army and the 1500-meter championship. But in Sochi, she worked wonders.
All the way to the final
In the quarter-finals, Li Jianrou advanced to the semi-finals as the second place in the group.
In the semi-finals, Fan Kexin, Liu Qiuhong, Li Jianrou and Britain's Alice were in a group. After the start, Fan Kexin fell down and withdrew from the competition, which was also very surprising, she fell down after her legs softened a little, and she missed the final.
Alice has always been ranked first, and in the last moment Li Jianrou surpassed Liu Qiuhong to rise to second place and advance to the final.
In the final, they met a strong opponent of the South Korean team
The four players who reached the final were: Lee Kin-rou, Italy's Fang Tana, South Korea's Park Seung-ji and Britain's Alice.
At that time, Park Seung-ji of the South Korean team was strong, she had good starting ability and strong explosiveness. At the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, she won two bronze medals in the women's 1500m and 1000m, becoming the korean short track speed skating team with the most bronze medals in this Winter Olympics.
At the same time, in this Winter Olympic Games, Park Seung-ji also won two Winter Olympic gold medals in the 1000-meter final relay and the 1000-meter final.
Therefore, the outside world is not optimistic about Li Jianrou who is on top.
Dramatic
After the start of the final, Lee Kin-rou was behind in the starting line and ranked fourth, and South Korea's Park Seung-ji was ranked first.
In the second corner, Italy's Fang Tana, South Korea's Park Seung-ji and Britain's Alice all fell, leaving Lee Jianrou alone on the track.
With Lee Kin-rou's desperate ride, even Fang Tana, Park Seung-ji and Alice, who are back into the race, have no choice.
In the end, Li Jianrou won the gold medal in 45.263 seconds, helping the Chinese team achieve four consecutive championships in this project. Fang Tanna won silver in 51.250 seconds, South Korea's Park Seung-ji won bronze in 54.207 seconds, and Britain's Alice was cancelled for a foul.
Tears spilled on the field
After winning the championship, Li Jianrou hugged the coach and the leader, and she could not suppress the excitement in her heart and burst into tears. For Li Jianrou, from not being optimistic, to withstanding the huge pressure of winning the project for the Chinese team for 4 consecutive times, and her own dream, it is not easy for her to win the championship.
At the same time, there were also tears in the 2002 Winter Olympics of this project, the chinese team's first gold medalist in the history of the Big Yang Yang, she also shed tears, when explaining, she could not control her emotions. After that, Dayang Yang said: "It is really happy to win four consecutive championships, especially before Wang Meng was injured, Fan Kexin fell in the semi-finals, and finally we won the gold medal, which is a kind of inheritance of Chinese short track."
Bach praised
IOC President Bach watched the match at the scene, and in an interview, he praised Li Jianrou's performance, saying: "I watched this short track speed skating competition on the spot today and saw the process of Chinese athletes winning gold medals. The game was really exciting. I congratulate the Chinese delegation on the gold medal. ”
This game is also the most classic and dramatic game in the history of the Winter Olympic Games, and Li Jianrou staged a miracle moment and successfully won the championship. After many years of retrospect, Li Jianrou was not only cared for by the goddess of luck, her efforts along the way can not be ignored, so the opportunity is for those who are prepared, it is obvious that Li Jianrou is such a person.
