In the final of the men's 1000m Group A of the short track speed skating event of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics that ended on the evening of February 7, Beijing time, Ren Ziwei won the second gold medal of the Chinese team at the Winter Olympics with a time of 1 minute 26.768 seconds, while Li Wenlong, another Chinese player, won the second place in 1 minute 29 seconds 917.
As the only post-00 among the three Chinese players who advanced to the final, Li Wenlong carefully and brilliantly executed the tactics arranged before the game in the men's 1000m semi-finals and finals, making great contributions to his teammates rushing gold. In the semi-finals, Li Wenlong competed in the same group as Ren Ziwei, and as a result, he successfully assisted Ren Ziwei to advance to the final.
In the final, Li Wenlong is still very good at implementing the pre-game plan, doing his best to protect the two big brothers rushing gold. After veteran Wu Dajing withdrew from the gold medal competition early after his second departure, Li Wenlong became the only person who could cooperate with Ren Ziwei to snipe Hungarian Liu Shaolin. As a result, Li Wenlong did his best to protect Ren Ziwei in front of him in the case of huge physical consumption, consuming Liu Shaolin's physical strength, and gritting his teeth to complete the game, due to Liu Shaolin's foul when he finally crossed the line, Ren Ziwei won the championship, and Li Wenlong won a silver medal.
After winning the gold, Ren Ziwei excitedly hugged Li Wenlong, obviously he also knew that this teammate who was 3 years younger than himself also made a lot of contributions to his gold medal. And Li Wenlong's execution in the final was also praised by Wang Meng. The latter said in his commentary: "Look at Li Wenlong's execution, we have a young son of the whole people! Don't forget him, this little son is really amazing today! ”
Three days ago, Li Wenlong just celebrated his 21st birthday. Although he has not yet won a gold medal at the Winter Olympics. But from his performance in this thrilling final, I believe he will be the leader of the future of Chinese men's short track speed skating.
