The Beijing Winter Olympics short track speed skating mixed team final kicked off on February 5, and china won the gold medal in the final after experiencing ups and downs in the semi-finals. This gold medal is also the first gold medal won by the Chinese delegation at the Winter Olympics. The four players in the final were Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei, Qu Chunyu and Fan Kexin.
For the Chinese team, although the result is beautiful, the process is not smooth. First, in the semi-finals, several groups collided during the competition. But thankfully, after the game, the United States team and the Russian Olympic Committee were found guilty of fouls, and the Chinese team also advanced to a thrilling way.
After entering the final, the Chinese team's lineup made a small adjustment compared with the semi-finals, replacing the relatively inexperienced young player Zhang Yuting by the more experienced Fan Kexin. Unfortunately, not long after the start of the game, there was a similar situation as in the semi-finals, but fortunately, after this collision, the referee blew the game to a halt in time, and the game started again!
In the first few laps of the final restart, the Chinese team has been in the third position, but as the game progressed, the Chinese team took advantage of the trend to the first place and gradually expanded its advantage. After slipping to the penultimate lap, Hungarian and Canadian players unfortunately fell and withdrew from the gold medal competition. After entering the last lap, facing the catch-up of the Italian players, Wu Dajing, the most stable ring of the Chinese team, stabilized the advantage and took the lead in rushing the line to finally get the gold medal in his hand.
As the first gold of the Chinese delegation at the Winter Olympics, the Chinese team's traditional advantage project short track speed skating did not disappoint, and won the honor for the Chinese team at the doorstep, giving the Chinese people a sense of pride.
