At the Beijing Winter Olympics, the short track speed skating 2000 meters mixed relay, the Chinese short track speed skating team successfully won the championship, winning the first gold medal for the Chinese team in the Winter Olympics. As the number one opponent of the Chinese team, the South Korean short track speed skating team fell out of the track, wang Meng, who served as a commentator, bluntly said that he fell well, and the Korean media after the game was not convinced, believing that the Chinese team won the championship by relying on home combat and referee help.
Six gold medals were born on the first day of the Winter Olympics, one short track speed skater, and the 2000m mixed relay was added for the first time, with South Korea and China being the two favorites to win the championship. The mixed relay is divided into 3 stages, the Chinese team and the South Korean team are in the same group in the quarter-final, as well as the Italian team and the Polish team, and finally the Chinese team easily advanced, the South Korean team broke out of the cold, and the mistake was eliminated.
When Cui Minjing was in the corner, suddenly the ice knife slid backwards and directly rushed out of the track, crashing into the protective cushion on the side of the field, which meant that she did not have the next round. In this regard, the Coach of the South Korean team on the sidelines was collectively confused, short track speed skating has always been the dominant sport of the South Korean team in the Winter Olympics, winning 24 gold medals, resulting in a heavy blow on the first match day.
As the athlete who won the most gold at the Chinese Winter Olympics, Wang Meng commented on the fall of the South Korean team, "Who can rely on this? He fell out", and then said: "There were no countries in the semi-finals, because he fell down himself. Ahn Hyun-so nodded, it fell well! ”
In the final final, the Chinese relay team composed of Qu Chunyu, Fan Kexin, Wu Dajing and Ren Ziwei won the championship with a thrilling advantage of 0.016 seconds.
Seeing that the South Korean team was out of the first round and the Chinese team won the championship, the South Korean media expressed dissatisfaction, believing that there was a problem with the ice condition of the stadium, in addition to the Chinese athletes, athletes from other countries were difficult to adapt, and the Dutch team was also out of the game due to falls.
In addition, the Seoul News published an article saying that the Chinese team won the championship by relying on the help of the referee in the semi-final stage. Originally, the Chinese team did not qualify for the top two in the semi-finals, because the American team fouled first, and the Chinese team entered the final final.
South Korea's short track speed skating team has repeatedly made small moves in the competition, believing that other teams have won the championship by relying on the help of the venue and the referee, is it possible for Wang Meng to bluntly say that "there are no countries in the semi-finals".
This year's short track speed skating event has produced a total of 9 gold medals, and the South Korean team's goal is at least 5 gold, which is very difficult to achieve now.
