Today, the short track speed skating arena has again reported success. Ren Ziwei won the gold medal in the men's 1000 meters with a time of 1:26.768, Li Wenlong won the silver medal and Wu Dajing finished 4th.
In the men's 1000m quarterfinals, Ren Ziwei played in Group 3. Ren Ziwei, who started the first round, led the way to the last moment until the second corner of the last lap was brought down by the runner who tried to overtake behind him. The chief referee eventually awarded fouls to the Hungarian and Australian players, and Ren Ziwei advanced to the semi-finals as the second in the group. The other two Chinese players, Wu Dajing and Li Wenlong, also reached the semi-finals.
In the semi-finals, Ren Ziwei and Lee Wenlong were in the same group, and the two initially grabbed the top two places in the group, trying to suppress the project's biggest rival, South Korea's Hwang Daehyun, who is the project's world record holder. With four laps left, Wong overtook the curve and crossed the finish line first. After the match, the referee reviewed the video and judged that Huang Daxian had fouled when he overtook, and Ren Ziwei and Li Wenlong advanced to the final. In another group, Wu Dajing advanced to the final with the second place in the group.
The quarter-finals and semi-finals were in a state of flux, with penalties handed down by the chief referee in almost every match. The final is a battle between China and Hungary, with 3 players on the Chinese team and two hungarians. Wu Dajing Dao 2, Ren Ziwei 3rd Dao, Li Wenlong 4th Dao. During the first race, because the referee found that there was a blade on the track, he called the game to recall the players. After repairing the equipment and tidying up the ice, the game resumed, but the re-firing of the gun was a great drain on the physical strength of the team members, especially Wu Dajing, who was good at 500 meters. After the departure, Ren Ziwei grabbed the first place, and with 4 laps left, the Hungarian player surpassed Liu Shaolin and surpassed Ren Ziwei. Despite Ren Ziwei's efforts to catch up on the last lap, Liu Shaolin was the first to cross the line. After the game, after the referee repeatedly watched the game video, Liu Shaolin had a foul in the game, so Ren Ziwei won the gold medal.
In another women's 500m event today, Zhang Yuting, who participated in the Winter Olympics for the first time, won the fourth place, and the other two Chinese players, Fan Kexin and Qu Chunyu, did not advance to the final.
