On the first day after the opening ceremony, six gold medals were divided by Norway (2), China, Slovenia, the Netherlands and Sweden, including the cross-country skiing women's double chase, speed skating women's 3000 meters, mixed relay 4×6 kilometers, ski jumping women's individual standard platform, freestyle skiing men's snow skills and short track speed skating mixed team relay.
In these projects, the Chinese team composed of Qu Chunyu, Fan Kexin, Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei and Zhang Yuting won the gold with an advantage of 0.016 seconds. However, this gold medal has attracted a lot of criticism, the first point of controversy occurred in the semi-finals, when Zhang Yuting and Ren Ziwei failed to hand over the baton and faced elimination, but after consultation, the referee believed that it was russian players interfering, resulting in the failure of the baton handover, so the Chinese team directly entered the final. This detail has also been questioned by South Korean netizens.
According to Sun Dandan, a Chinese short track speed skater, a silver medalist in the women's 3000m relay at the two-time Winter Olympics and the current coach of the Hong Kong short track team, Zhang Yuting and Ren Ziwei did not have the subjective intention of fouling, but failed to complete the handover because the handover line was blocked. Therefore, there is no foul problem for the Chinese team, and there is no problem in qualifying.
The second point of controversy is more familiar to most netizens, Wang Meng said "fell well", which made many people laugh. And South Korean netizens are not athletes who are distressed about their fall, but the first time to attack our ice surface, such as "uneven ice", "fake ice", "quality made in China" and so on.
Why do Korean netizens react so much? The reason is simple, that is, they lost the game, did not get the gold medal, the South Korean speed skating team believed that they were the champion, and even played a temper after the game to refuse the interview. And the deeper discussion, that is, the short track speed skating between China and South Korea, there are too many grudges, which is why Wang Meng, as an explanation, still blurted out and shouted the sentence "fall well".
Looking back at history, since 1998, the two teams have been constantly friction, the most infuriating two, the first occurred in the 2008-09 World Cup japan station, the women's 1500 meters final, when our player Zhou Yang, one person faced the situation of fighting against 3 Korean players, in order to avoid the other side to cooperate with the pressure speed, Zhou Yang chose to lead the skate, and after the three Korean players saw the delay in surpassing, Zheng Eun-joo made a shameless foul, forced to overtake, and also pressed Zhou Yang's helmet in his hand to push it out of the track. The latter slammed into the baffle and concussed, while Jeong Eun-joo was convicted of a foul, but the gold medal remained on her teammate's neck as she wished.
The second time occurred at the 2010 Bulgaria World Championships, in the semifinals of the women's 1000 meters, Zhou Yang was deliberately tripped by Park Seung-ji, and when he fell, he did not forget to hold Zhou Yang's hand, and at the moment of hitting the wall, Park Seung-ji's ice knife scraped Zhou Yang's left ankle and had to leave the venue with the help of a stretcher.
When Korean netizens complained about themselves, domestic netizens also reminded: Have you forgotten 4 years ago? At that time, the Winter Olympics were held in Pyeongchang, and the Chinese team sentenced a total of 9 fouls, and once there was contact with the South Korean players, the referee would stand up, and this time when he came to Beijing, South Korea wanted to take advantage, but it was impossible. In fact, after understanding the grievances of the China-South Korea short track speed skating team, it is easy to understand Wang Meng, and she will no longer say that her explanation is inappropriate.
