There is still a week to go before the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympics. Recently, the Chinese sports delegation announced the list of participants in the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. In this list, the short track speed skating team has 5 male and female players, the speed skating team has 6 male players and 8 female team members. They shouldered the heavy responsibility of the Chinese sports delegation to win the gold. Like Wu Dajing of the men's speed skating team, he won the gold medal in the 500 meters at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea.
Short-track speed skating and speed skating have always been the chinese delegation's dominant sports. The Chinese delegation's first Winter Olympic medal was achieved by Ye Qiaobo at the 16th Winter Olympics in 1992. She won silver medals in the 1000m and 500m speed skating. The Chinese sports delegation won a total of 13 gold medals at the Winter Olympics, of which short track speed skating and speed skating combined had 11, accounting for 84.6%; a total of 28 silver medals, short track speed skating and speed skating had 18, accounting for 64.3%; a total of 21 bronze medals, short track speed skating and speed skating had 12, accounting for 57.1%.
Short track speed skating is a strong sport in the Chinese Winter Olympics, winning a total of 10 gold medals at the Winter Olympics, of which Wang Meng won 4.
Wang Meng is a well-known athlete in mainland China. She participated in two Winter Olympic Games, won 4 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze, and is the athlete with the most medals won by the Chinese delegation in the Winter Olympic Games.
Wang Meng is a very capable athlete with great personality. Born in July 1984, Wang Meng entered the Heilongjiang Provincial Sports School at the age of 14, and won the bronze medal in the short track speed skating 1500 meters competition of the National Ninth Games at the age of 16, which was favored by the national team and selected for the national team.
In 2002, at the age of 17, Wang Meng won the women's 500 meters championship for the first time in the World Youth Championships, becoming China's first World Youth Championship champion. In 2003, Wang Meng participated in the world championship for the first time, and won the 3000m relay with his teammates. At a young age, Wang Meng became a world champion, which was really smooth. This also made Wang Meng's heart a lot higher, very confident, and also developed a character of being untamed and daring to love and hate.
Since then, Wang Meng has participated in many competitions and won numerous championships. She competed in the 20th Winter Olympics in Turin in 2006 and won gold in short track speed skating in the 500 meters. In 2010, Wang Meng participated in the 21st Winter Olympics in Vancouver, winning the short track speed skating 500 meters, 1000 meters and 3000 meters relay championships, becoming the first triple crown in the history of Short Track in China. Wang Meng has won the world championship many times and broken the world record many times. In Wang Meng's sports career, basically no one can surpass her, creating her own "Mao era".
In the short track speed skating event, the Korean speed skating team is in direct competition with the Chinese speed skating team. They are also strong contenders for medals. South Korean athletes have lost to Wang Meng many times, and naturally they do not want to see each other. South Korean athletes are known to like to play in the shadows, make small moves, and do things that are contrary to sportsmanship. In order to win the game, the South Korean team members did not use small tricks. At the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, South Korean athletes used a lot of dirty actions, resulting in the Failure of the Chinese Short Track Speed Skating Team to achieve good results.
Wang Meng is most unaccustomed to the behavior of Koreans, and has repeatedly said that he must win the Korean team. It doesn't matter how many gold medals she wins, but she must win the South Korean team. Playing with Koreans, Wang often stages one-on-one. The Koreans use the movement of pressing the knee, pushing the shoes, and the two-person bag clip. However, the South Korean team members simply couldn't take Wang Meng, because Wang Meng was too strong, and the South Korean team members couldn't catch up with her speed. The South Korean team members could not catch up, and naturally could not attack Wang Meng. Sometimes Wang Meng is too far ahead, and he will deliberately slow down, so that the Korean team members can follow behind the butt to watch, but they can't catch up. It was a really unpleasant taste, and it made the Korean team members angry to death.
On the podium, Wang Meng will not give the South Korean team a good look.
Wang Meng's personality is very strong, and the great success in his career has made Wang Meng feel high, and it is difficult to change the things he has identified.
In May 2006, Li Yan returned to China as the head coach of the Chinese short track speed skating team. Li Yan won China's first speed skating medal at the Winter Olympics in 1992. She has led the team to impressive results and has a high reputation in the industry as the coach of the Slovak short track speed skating team, the head coach of the Austrian short track speed skating team, and the head coach of the American team. The Chinese short track speed skating team took the initiative to invite Li Yan to return to China to coach.
After Li Yan returned to China, he adopted a new set of training methods, which led to a great increase in the training intensity of the speed skating team. At that time, Wang Meng already had high achievements, not only in the World Championships, the World Cup and other events to win the championship many times, but also won 1 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze at the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics. Wang Meng thought, "I used to practice like that to win the gold medal, so why should I use Li Yan's particularly hard training method?" ”
Therefore, Wang Meng accused Li Yan of his training method in person, and the scene was very embarrassing. In order to let his training methods continue, Li Yan, who ruled the team majestically, fired Wang Meng. Later, after the two sides calmed down, they shook hands and made peace. As we all know, Li Yan is a very good coach in the world, and Wang Meng is a very good player. As long as the two join hands, it is almost a combination of two swords, and the world is invincible.
Under the tutelage of Li Yan, Wang Meng's strength has improved, and it is even more difficult to meet opponents in international competitions. As long as Wang Meng participated, other athletes basically had no hope. South Korean athletes can only resent Wang Meng and The Chinese speed skating team coach Li Yan, and they can only do nothing. Wang Meng was grateful to Li Yan and naturally trusted Li Yan very much.
At the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics, Wang Won the gold medal in short track speed skating in the 500m, 1000m and 3000m relays. In one Winter Olympics, one person won 3 gold medals, which was the first person in the history of the Chinese Winter Olympics. Wang Meng's athletic career reached its peak. As Wang Meng passed the coach's seat, he knelt down to thank Li Yan. The unruly Wang Meng was able to make such a move, which surprised people, and the applause in the stands was thunderous. Li Yan was also touched, and bluntly said that "Wang Meng has grown up and has connotations."
In addition to this time, Wang Meng also had the experience of being expelled.
In the early morning hours of June 7, 2011, a Chinese short-track speed skating team clashed with suspected local security guards in Lijiang's Shuhe Tea Horse Ancient Town, injuring at least 10 people. Originally, this incident was handled coldly, and both sides admitted their mistakes. Unexpectedly, on the evening of July 24, during the training of the national short track speed skating team in Qingdao, Wang Meng and 6 other team members did not return in time, and they had a verbal altercation with the team leader Wang Chunlu, and even moved their fists and feet.
Within two months, the short track speed skating team had a series of accidents, which had a very bad social impact. The Winter Sports Management Center of the State General Administration of Sport announced that Wang Meng would be removed from his position as captain of the national team and let her leave the national team.
However, in September 2012, the national team allowed Wang Meng to return to prepare for the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi. In 2012 and 2013, Wang Meng won many international competitions. She also has a very high competitiveness, and can achieve good results at the Sochi Winter Olympics and compete for gold and silver.
Unexpectedly, only 22 days before the opening of the Sochi Winter Olympics, Wang Meng fell off the track after colliding with his teammates in the training class, causing a fracture of the ankle joint in his right foot and accidentally missing the Sochi Winter Olympics. Wang Meng had been preparing for so long, but he could not participate in the competition because of an accident, which was a pity. Otherwise, Wang Meng could win more gold medals at the Winter Olympics. That her achievements, others can not compare.
At the 2022 Winter Olympics, Li Yan served as the head coach of speed skating, and famous players such as Wu Dajing and Fan Kexin are still in the team. I believe they can achieve good results in the Olympic Games on their home soil.
