On February 5, 2022, Beijing time, the Winter Olympics came to the good news today, in the short track speed skating mixed relay competition held in the evening, the Chinese team won the championship, which is also the first gold medal won by the Chinese delegation in this Winter Olympics. Remember the names of these heroes: 1st stick Fan Kexin, 2nd stick Qu Chunyu, 3rd stick Ren Ziwei, 4th stick Wu Dajing. And Zhang Yuting, who played well in the semi-finals.
In July 2018, the International Olympic Committee announced the addition of mixed relays at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, which means that whoever wins the gold medal will be able to make history. The Chinese short track speed skating team first set a new Olympic record this evening, but was immediately caught up by the Dutch team. In the semifinals, the Chinese team once ranked 3rd in the group, but after repeated viewing by the referee, it was determined that the Russian team and the American team fouled, and the Chinese team entered the final!
In the final, the Chinese team's ranking was not good, ranking the outermost. And the explosive Fan Kexin was responsible for the first baton, Fan Kexin came with the task arrangement of the coaching staff, and there was some competition with the opponent at the start, and then the referee sentenced the penalty to re-fire the gun.
After the game officially began, Fan Kexin, who was the first stick, played steadily and grabbed the third place first. Subsequently, Qu Chunyu counterattacked strongly and chased the ranking to the 2nd place. Immediately after, Ren Ziwei continued to work hard and rushed to the first place position!
With 5 laps left, Hungary and Canada collided with mistakes, and Wu Dajing's last bat was clearly ahead. And I have to say that then the Italian team's catch-up speed was extremely fast, almost catching up with Wu Dajing. But in the end, Wu Dajing still defeated Italy by a slight margin and won the gold medal!
2:37:348, this is a new record, thanks to Qu Chunyu / Fan Kexin / Wu Dajing / Ren Ziwei! This is the 14th Winter Olympic gold medal won by Chinese Winter Olympic athletes!
