After the opening of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, in the newly added short track speed skating men's and women's 2000 meters mixed relay final, the Chinese team represented by Fan Kexin, Qu Chunyu, Ren Ziwei and Wu Dajing won the first gold medal of the Chinese delegation in the Winter Olympics with a time of 2 minutes 37.348 seconds, which was also the first gold medal in the short track speed skating event of the Winter Olympics.
In this mixed relay competition, the Chinese team had no danger, in the semifinals, we were only ranked third in the group, but because of the obstruction of the Russian and Austrian teams when handing over the baton, the referee reviewed the video and judged the Russian-Austrian team and the United States team to foul, the two teams were canceled, and the Chinese team was able to enter the final. Many people lamented that fortunately this is in our home field, thinking back to the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, we have encountered many controversial penalties from referees, this time at the doorstep, the referee is cautious and cautious, and after many reviews, a fair penalty is given.
In the final, there was another dramatic scene, Hungary and Canada collided and fell, and the two teams of players knelt on the ice and looked desperate. Qu Chunyu and Ren Ziwei helped the Chinese team occupy the leading position, Wu Dajing, who played full attendance, dropped a lot, the Italian players were desperate to catch up, and even caught up with Wu Dajing in the sprint, many spectators were shocked into a cold sweat, fortunately, Wu Dajing guarded the last pass, thrilling and took the lead in hitting the line!
After winning the championship, the players of the Chinese team hugged each other to celebrate, and Fan Kexin excitedly said to the camera: "We did it!" "It's a clean gold medal, it's a gold medal that shows Chinese courage and enterprising spirit. Subsequently, Fan Kexin wept and thanked the motherland and the leadership, she was even out of breath because of choking, Wu Dajing was too funny, he quickly helped his teammates take off the mask to change the air, that scene really made people laugh and cry!
However, although Wu Dajing smiled and comforted his sister, when it was his turn to give his own testimonial, he couldn't help but cry, saying that it had not been easy in the past 4 years! Fan Kexin hugged him and comforted each other, it was really touching!
After the game, some netizens also questioned one thing, why didn't we see the medal after winning the championship? In fact, this is a very intimate tradition, because the weather during the Winter Olympics is relatively cold, for the sake of the athletes' physical health and other factors, in the post-match competition venue, the official will only award prizes to the winners, and later in the specific award area to award medals to the winners.
Therefore, it is not that there is no gold medal, because the scene is too cold, and we have to wait for other related projects to be finished and then send them together! However, the medal-winning athletes each received a special edition of the ice pier at the short flower ceremony after the game! To know that now outside is "a pier is difficult to find", the Chinese team at once received 5 ice piers is really enviable!
