In the just-held semifinals of the short track speed skating mixed relay, the Chinese team only ranked third in the group. If this ranking is followed, the Chinese team will not have the final gold medal battle. When the results came out, the reporter at this end, while lamenting for the Chinese team, went to the mixed mining area with the computer and prepared to interview the feelings of the team members. However, the results of the teams on the big screen on the scene were delayed.
At the same time, the live broadcast of the Capital Stadium was repeated over and over again, asking everyone to wait patiently for the referee's decision. The scene was quiet, and everyone's eyes were on the referee on the sidelines. After about 10 minutes of nervous tension, the on-site referee judged that the Second Finisher, the American team, blocked the Chinese team during the handover. In addition, the Russian Olympic Committee team was also cancelled for fouls. China qualified for the Group A final as second in the group and will compete for the title with Canada, Italy and Hungary. The audience erupted in thunderous applause.
