On the evening of February 5, the first competition day of short track speed skating at the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chinese short track speed skating team ushered in a good start. In the 2000-meter relay of the new mixed team, the Chinese team was almost out of the semifinals. In the final, the Chinese team composed of Fan Kexin, Qu Chunyu, Wu Dajing and Ren Ziwei won the championship in 2 minutes 37 seconds 348 seconds. This is the first gold medal won by the Chinese sports delegation at the Winter Olympics.
Zhang Yuting, a young player, appeared in the semi-finals, so she became the champion of the New Branch Winter Olympics together with Qu Chunyu, Fan Kexin and Ren Ziwei. Wu Dajing also won his second Winter Olympic gold medal.
After the game, Chinese athletes were so excited that Wu Dajing, who participated in the Winter Olympics for the third time, cried and said, "My dream has come true." After winning the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, Wu Dajing experienced ups and downs and encountered many doubts. Fortunately, he persevered, stood on the field of the Beijing Winter Olympics and led the team to a good start.
After the game, Wu Dajing choked up and said, "It's also very relieved!" These four years have been too much experience, today (the first day of the competition), the dream has come true! Talking about these 4 years of efforts, Wu Dajing bluntly said that he did not give up, and thanked everyone for not giving up on him.
Compared with Pyeongchang four years ago, Wu Dajing said that he had matured a lot, "This is my second gold medal, 4 years apart, during which we continue to work hard, just for today!" ”
Another veteran, Fan Kexin, cried silently, saying: "I have been waiting for 12 years, waiting for this gold medal for too long, I will always believe in the team!" From the day I entered the national team, I always believed in my teammates! "First of all, I want to thank the state, give us the opportunity, and give us good training conditions; thank the center, thank the leaders of Heilongjiang and Qitaihe City, and help us solve our worries."
Fan Kexin, 28, became famous earlier, she holds ten world championship gold medals, and is the leader of the Chinese women's team after Wang Meng. In the 2014 and 2018 Winter Olympics, Fan Kexin was given high hopes, but unfortunately only won the silver medal in the women's 1000 meters of the 2014 Winter Olympics. After waiting for more than ten years, Fan Kexin finally realized his dream!
Ren Ziwei said that after winning the championship, like a dream, the past four years have been the most difficult for him, and at the same time, the four years of the fastest improvement, and his pressure has just begun.
