At the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, the Korean team achieved 5 gold, 8 silver and 4 bronze medals, with a total of 17 medals, ranking 7th in the medal table and 1st in Asia. This time to the Beijing Winter Olympics, the South Korean team is also striving for a breakthrough, but the Three Match Days of the Winter Olympics have passed, and the South Korean team has not received a single medal. At present, on the medal table of the Winter Olympics, the Asian country China team ranks fourth with 2 gold and 2 silver, the Japanese team ranks tenth with 1 gold, 1 silver and 2 bronze, and the Korean team does not win medals and is not on the list.
In this Winter Olympics, the South Korean team performed very badly in their strong short track speed skating, with mistakes, fouls, slippage, and did not win the gold medal, which can be called a state of group annihilation. It should be known that short track speed skating has always been an important gold point for the Korean team, but unfortunately they did not play well in this Winter Olympics.
In the short track speed skating men's 1000 meters, Huang Daxian, who had high hopes, fouled the first semi-final and was ruled out, allowing China's Ren Ziwei and Li Wenlong to advance to the Final of Group A, and finally Ren Ziwei and Li Wenlong won gold and silver medals in the men's 1000 meters respectively. It is worth mentioning that Li Junrui was also convicted of foul play.
In the men's 1000m 1/4 final, although Park Chang-woo was sentenced to advance to the semi-finals, he was unfortunately injured, so that all three male players of the South Korean team were out.
In the women's 500m 1/4 final of the short track speed skating, South Korea's Choi Min-jin fell to the bottom of the ranking and did not qualify for the semifinals. In this project, the Korean team did not have any success.
It is worth mentioning that the athletes and coaches of the South Korean team refused to be interviewed after the end of the game, and many netizens complained that they were not graceful. And in the face of the reporter and the camera, they directly chose to ignore, and also made a gesture of waving, which is very impolite.
When they reported on the short track speed skating of the Winter Olympics, they pointed the finger directly at the referee, saying that the referee had obvious bias in favor of the Chinese team, and also complained that the referee was often unfavorable to the South Korean team in key penalties. South Korean media claimed that they had a chance to win 2 gold medals in the short track speed skating women's 500 meters and men's 1000 meters, but they did not win anything in the end because of the penalty favorable to the host.
On social media, the Korean media for short track speed skating, Huang Daxian, Chinese team and referee related topics have also been on the hot search list, netizens have also complained about the referee's judgment, of which the cancellation of Huang Daxian's good results is the most controversial, they are dissatisfied with the referee's judgment, feel that it is deliberate. But in fact, the referee watched the replay, and Huang Daxian had obvious foul moves before he was canceled.
Therefore, in the first 3 match days of the Winter Olympics, the South Korean team did not receive any results, and it was also in a state of group extinction in its own strong short track speed skating. The next South Korean team still has the point of impacting the gold medal, but if you want to win the gold medal in the Winter Olympics, in addition to playing well, not fouling is the most basic.
