With Chinese short-track speed skating star athlete Wu Dajing crossing the finish line first in the final moment with a margin of 0.016 seconds, China won the first short-track speed skating mixed relay gold medal at the Winter Olympics. Remember the names of these four Chinese athletes, Fan Kexin, Qu Chunyu, Ren Ziwei and Wu Dajing, who made history and won honors for the country. After winning the gold medal, the excitement of the athletes was written on their faces. Fan Kexin and Wu Dajing had long been unable to cry, and this gold medal was not easy to come by. Behind this gold medal, there is one person who is indispensable, and Wu Dajing, a brother of Chinese short track speed skating, has called him an example.
At the Beijing Winter Olympics, in terms of short-track speed skating, a new 2,000-meter mixed relay event for men and women was added. For this new project, the goal of the Chinese team is naturally to win the championship. After all, the Chinese team has this strength and confidence. However, the process of winning this gold medal is indeed a bit thrilling. In the group stage, the Chinese team performed very well, advancing to the first place. In contrast, the original championship favorite South Korea team has made a major mistake, failing to qualify from the group, and the Chinese team has one less rival. However, after advancing to the semifinals, the Chinese team's initial result was that it missed the final, ranking behind the Russian Olympic team and the American team. Fortunately, the two teams were subsequently convicted of fouls in the match, and the Chinese team was able to advance to the final as the second in the group.
In the final, the Chinese team performed very well. This final is actually a contest between the two teams of China and Italy, because in the game, Hungary and Canada fell one after another, and the Chinese team and Italy team also used it to build a huge advantage. In the last two sticks, the Chinese team Ren Ziwei performed very well, and the vietnam war became more and more courageous. However, the last stick, Wu Dajing, because of several consecutive battles, may not be able to keep up with his physical strength. Constantly being chased by the Italian players behind him. But in the final sprint, Wu Dajing held on, took the lead in crossing the finish line, and won the championship. However, to be honest, this gold medal was really thrilling at the last minute, the Chinese team's time was 2 minutes 37 seconds 348, while the Italian team was 2 minutes 37 seconds 364, and the Chinese team only won 0.016 seconds.
The winning of this gold medal made Fan Kexin cry after the game, he said: "This gold medal, I have waited too long! I will always believe in my teammates! Every time I trained, every time I got off the ice, my throat was covered with blood! "Indeed, behind each gold medal, it is inseparable from the athletes' hard training and tenacious fighting spirit, and it can only be said that competitive sports are so cruel." It can be said that the Chinese team won this gold medal is well deserved. However, behind the hard-won gold medal of the Chinese team, there is one person who is indispensable. He is the Olympic King of Six Golds, Korean coach Ahn Hyun-so.
Ahn Hyun-so is arguably the absolute king of short track speed skating, and his career can be called legendary. While representing the Korean team, he won 3 gold medals and 1 bronze medal for South Korea at the Winter Olympics, which was not easy. But while he won so many honors for the South Korean team, he withdrew in a very unfriendly way with the South Korean national team. Due to injuries and fighting within the South Korean national team, Ahn Hyun-so eventually became a victim and was forced to leave the Korean national team. In his moment of confusion, Russia extended an invitation to him. In 2011, Ahn Hyun-so finally became a Russian athlete. He then performed very well in the competition for Russia, and once again won 3 gold and 1 bronze at the Winter Olympics. It is in this way that he has also been called a traitor by the South Korean media. After retiring from the army, An Hyun-so, who had a very good relationship with Wang Meng, finally chose to coach in China as a technical coach. It is the arrival of Ahn Hyun-so that China's short track speed skating project has been greatly improved.
For Ahn Hyun-so, Wu Dajing, a chinese short-track speed skater, is convinced, and he has publicly stated: "Ahn Hyun-so is my role model to learn." And An Hyun-so is also full of praise for Wu Dajing, and he even expressed the hope that Wu Dajing can slide into 2030.
