Wu Dajing's mother: I hope he pays attention to safety and plays his best level

Changchun, 6 Feb (Xinhua) -- Chinese short-track speed skaters Qu Chunyu, Fan Kexin, Zhang Yuting, Wu Dajing and Ren Ziwei won the first gold medal for Chinese athletes to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics on 5 February. Wu Dajing's mother said after the game that she hoped he would pay attention to safety and play at the best level.

In the final, the Chinese team, which was once a big leader, was almost caught up by italy in the last two laps. At the last minute, Wu Dajing held the lead and finally helped the Chinese team win the gold with a thrilling advantage of 0.016 seconds.

The ups and downs of the game process also closely affect the relatives who are watching the game from afar. When Wu Dajing first crossed the line, His mother Lu Yuxiang, who was sitting in front of the TV, couldn't help but cry with joy. "It's stressful, it's really not easy." She said, "Although the final sprint stage was thrilling, it was a good victory. ”

At the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics four years ago, in the men's 500m final of short track speed skating, Wu Dajing broke the world record with a time of 39.584 seconds and won the only gold medal of the Chinese delegation in the Winter Olympics.

As a mother, Lu Yuxiang understands the injuries, lows and hardships that her son has experienced in the past four years. Training and competitions take up most of Wu Dajing's life, and the last time I saw my son was in March 2021, when the family of three was reunited in Changchun for only three days.

"When we're with him we don't talk about the game, we don't talk about training, we want him to have a relaxed atmosphere around us." Lu Yuxiang said.

"There's still a game next, and I hope he pays attention to safety, plays at his best level, and leaves no regrets." Lu Yuxiang said.
