At the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, the second group of the short track speed skating women's 500m semifinals was contested by two players from the Chinese team, Zhang Yuting and Qu Chunyu. In the end, zhang Yuting advanced to the final with an advantage of 0.002 seconds, while Qu Chunyu was sentenced out for a foul of "kicking knives".
Because the results of the quarter-finals were average, the two players of the Chinese team were divided into the second group, the track was not very good, one was the 3rd lane, one was the 5th lane, and the strongest Jin Butting and Fang Tana were all divided into the first group.
After the start of the race, there was also an accidental fall, which is almost a must-have program for every short track speed skating. Dutch player Shultin is in the lead position, the advantage is still quite large, lock in the first place, the rest depends on who the second place is.
The two players of the Chinese team, Zhang Yuting and Qu Chunyu, originally firmly controlled the positions of the second and third places, but when the last bend was made, the two had a mutually humble action in order to avoid a collision, and as a result, they were overtaken by the Belgian player Demei from behind, and the three people collided almost at the same time. In the end, Zhang Yuting locked in the second place with an advantage of 0.002 seconds and unexpectedly advanced to the final.
Although Qu Chunyu also completed the game, she appeared in the situation of "kicking the knife" and knocked the competitors down, so the referee made a penalty after watching the replay, and Qu Chunyu was sentenced out. However, even if he was not sentenced, with Qu Chunyu's results, he would not be able to advance.
In the end, the results of the second group were that the Dutch player Schulting and the Chinese team Zhang Yuting joined forces to advance, the Hungarian player was out, the Belgian player was judged, and then Qu Chunyu was sentenced out. In this way, Zhang Yuting will become the only child in the final of the Chinese team, and I wish her good luck.
