On the evening of February 7, Beijing time, the short track speed skating of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics began to compete for the women's 500 meters, men's 1000 meters and other events, and in the men's 1000 meters final, Ren Ziwei, a veteran of Chinese short track speed skating, crossed the finish line for the second time. But just a few minutes later, the referee reviewed the video of the match and ruled that Liu Shaolin of the Hungarian team had fouled the first place and cancelled his match results. In the end, Ren Ziwei won the championship and teammate Li Wenlong was runner-up. Successfully winning the winter Olympics men's 1000 meters event, Ren Ziwei's performance is commendable. Especially after the Chinese male captain lost the Winter Olympics due to injury to Han Tianyu, the absolute core of the event, Ren Ziwei provoked the team's beam in the 1000 meters and 1500 meters events.
Therefore, Ren Ziwei deservedly became the star of the Winter Olympics of the Chinese Legion on that match day. In the mixed men's and women's 2000-meter relay final, the Chinese team composed of Olympic champions Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei, Fan Kexin and Qu Chunyu successfully defeated the Hungarian team and the Italian team to win the championship, and Ren Ziwei also won the first Olympic gold medal of his career. In this Winter Olympics, the short track speed skating project has shown a situation of competing for the deer, and the Chinese team, the Hungarian team, the Russian team, the South Korean team and the Italian team all have the strength to compete for the championship. In several men's events, Ren Ziwei is the athlete with the best chance of winning the gold medal on the Chinese team.
Although Wu Dajing is the defending champion of the men's 500 meters event, his competitive status and comprehensive ability have long since ceased to be brave. Therefore, in addition to the three relay projects, the heavy responsibility of winning gold in a single event is placed on ren Ziwei's shoulders. In the World Cup before the Olympic Games, Ren Ziwei won the men's 1000 meters and 1500 meters events successively, which also made him the biggest favorite to win the men's 1000 meters at the Winter Olympic Games. At the same time, many foreign opponents competing with Ren Ziwei are equally strong. The Hungarian team brothers Liu Shaolin and Liu Shaoang, the South Korean team's Guo Runqi and Huang Daxian, and several main players of the Italian and Canadian teams will pose a huge threat to Ren Ziwei.
In the 1000-meter event, in addition to Ren Ziwei's superior strength, An Kai is also a world-class level, but he was helplessly unable to qualify for the Beijing Winter Olympics. Since the announcement of the Olympic list, many netizens have lamented that without The cooperation of Ankai, Ren Ziwei will be difficult to support alone in the 1000-meter event. But after winning the mixed relay championship, Ren Ziwei said in an interview that the gold medal has accumulated full confidence for the future competition, and he will lay down his baggage and impact his opponents. The competition for the men's 1000m event of the Beijing Winter Olympics can be described as a "fairy fight", starting from the quarterfinals, all the masters have done their best to grab the next ticket to the final.
In the following semi-finals, Ren Ziwei successfully broke through in the first group and entered the final with Li Wenlong. Subsequently, Wu Dajing successfully advanced to another group, and all three players entered the final, which was surprising. In the final, the first shot of the competition cost Ren Ziwei a lot of physical strength, the second shot, Wu Dajing and Li Wenlong did their best to help Ren Ziwei, and Liu Shaolin of the Hungarian team came later and took the lead in crossing the finish line. Just when everyone thought that the Chinese team missed the gold medal, the referee determined that Liu Shaolin had a dangerous and transcendent behavior in the game, and Ren Ziwei rose from second to first, winning the men's 1000m gold medal at the Winter Olympics. This is Ren Ziwei's second gold medal at the Winter Olympics, and in a few days, perhaps this record will be rewritten.
