In the short track speed skating relay competition of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics on the evening of February 5, the Chinese team Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei, Fan Kexin and Qu Chunyu worked together to win the championship. It was the first mixed relay gold medal in the history of the Winter Olympics. Congratulations to the four outstanding Chinese athletes.
A game of twists and turns
The Winter Olympics are the first Winter Olympic sports event held in China. Beijing was also the first city to host both the Summer Olympics and the Winter Olympics. Therefore, the projects in which Chinese ice and snow athletes participate have received great attention from hundreds of millions of Chinese people. The 2,000-meter short-track speed skating mixed relay race held on February 5 was a gold rush event for the Chinese short track speed skating team. A relay team of two men and two women, composed of Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei, Fan Kexin and Qu Chunyu, will attack China's first gold medal at the Winter Olympics.
Short track speed skating has always been a competition with many masters. This short track speed skating competition also gathered China, the United States, Russia Olympic teams, Hungary and other super strong teams. Although the Chinese short track speed skating team led by Wu Dajing is very strong, it cannot be taken lightly in the face of the uncertain ice track. Because the South Korean team, which won the gold, fell off the track and directly out of the first round. Therefore, the Chinese short track speed skating team must be steady and fast.
The race on the evening of February 5 allowed Chinese audiences to embody the thrilling twists and turns of the roller coaster. First of all, in the semifinals, the Chinese team encountered a foul from the American team in the game. As a result, the last stick of the Chinese team, Wu Dajing, could only finish the match with a third place result. At this time, the fans in front of the TV set were sweating. Fortunately, after the referee watched the replay, it was ruled that the American team was fouled out. The Chinese team entered the final of Group A without any danger.
Wu Dajing won the championship in 0.016 seconds
The most exciting thing is the final. The four teams in Group A are China, Italy, Hungary and Canada. Usually, sports fans will help The Hungarian team as a competitor to the Chinese team. Because the Hungarian team's Liu Shaolin and Liu Shao'ang brothers are strong, they can speak fluent Northeast Chinese and have countless fans in China. Their entry into the final is an obstacle on China's way to winning the championship. After the start of the game, when Qu Chunyu only grabbed the third place, the commentator also said that it was okay, because he successfully grabbed the front of the hungarian team in fourth place.
In the subsequent race on the track, several teams were vying for a favorable position. China's Qu Chunyu and Ren Ziwei achieved consecutive surpasses. Successfully overtook the Italian team to occupy the first place. Just when China and Italy were scrambling for the top spot, the two teams of Hungary and Canada collided and fell, and the teammates who came to pick up the baton barely succeeded. At this time, the Chinese team has ridden the dust. In Ren Ziwei's penultimate stick, almost ten meters ahead of the second-place Italian team. However, the Italian team did not give up. The last stick of the team chased after Wu Dajing. Wu Dajing's lead was gradually narrowed. In the final sprint, the Italian team still broke out with full force, almost colliding with Wu Dajing at the same time.
At this time, the audience in front of the TV was stunned. Because the naked eye can no longer tell who is the first place. Whether the Chinese team can get the first gold is full of suspense. Before the final results of the game came out, Wang Meng, a former Winter Olympic speed skating champion who served as a guest commentator on a video platform, had already come to a conclusion. This gold medal belongs to the Chinese team. She jumped up and said: My eyes are the ruler, and the slight advantage is also the champion. Throughout the Chinese team's game, Wang Meng was dancing and shouting. Huang Jianxiang, who once lost his job because of the shouts of the commentary game, looked stupid. I thought: How is this big sister even crazier than I was then!
Wang Meng was right. The Chinese team won. It was this faint 0.016 seconds that the Chinese team won. Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei, Fan Kexin and Qu Chunyu successfully won the championship. This is China's first gold medal in this Winter Olympic Games. Wu Dajing fulfilled his promise. Be sure to give a sample to the Chinese ice and snow athletes behind you. That's great. It is hoped that the Chinese team will continue to compete for gold and silver in the short track speed skating event. Come on!
