On February 7, at the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, Chinese Winter Olympic athletes set off a strong wave of medal winning. After the 17-year-old Su Yiming won the silver medal in the men's slope obstacle course of snowboarding, creating the best result in the history of the project for the Chinese team, that night, the short track speed skating team that won the first gold for the Chinese delegation passed the news again - in the men's 1000 meters final, Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei and Li Wenlong jointly appeared, and in the end, Ren Ziwei took the lead in hitting the line and won the championship, he himself became the Olympic "double champion", and the Chinese delegation won the second gold of the Beijing Winter Olympics. In addition, China's Li Wenlong also added another silver to the Chinese delegation.
The five athletes who qualified for the men's 1000m final in short track speed skating at the Beijing Winter Olympics were Ren Ziwei, Wu Dajing and Li Wenlong from China, and Hungarian brothers Liu Shaolin and Liu Shaoang. In the men's 1000 meters event, the Chinese short track speed skating team has never been like this time, with three people entering the final, forming a cluster advantage. Therefore, how to implement tactics and effectively translate the numerical advantage into results is also a focus of the competition. However, the process of the final was full of twists and turns. The first shot, the main event is 500 meters, Wu Dajing spent a lot of physical energy to help his teammates take the lead, but halfway through the race, the 5 players were collectively recalled due to track accidents. Despite the great physical exertion in the first shot, Wu Dajing insisted on occupying the position at full strength in the second shot. The Hungarian brothers Liu Shaolin and Liu Shaoang are also very strong, and Liu Shaolin is the first to cross the finish line. However, the referee finally awarded Liu Shaolin two fouls during the game, and the champion belonged to Ren Ziwei, who had been trying to surpass.
In the men's 1000m short track speed skating event, Wu Dajing, the captain of the Chinese short track speed skating team, and Ren Ziwei, the best performer in the Beijing Winter Olympic cycle, have quite strong strength. At this Winter Olympics, the Chinese short track speed skating team won the gold medal in the men's and women's 2000 meters mixed relay, Wu Dajing played the role of leader, and Ren Ziwei was the backbone of the team. Today, Ren Ziwei and Wu Dajing have formed the "double insurance" of China's short track speed skating.
In fact, in the 2021 National Short Track Speed Skating Championships and Championships, when Wu Dajing and other famous players were struggling to find the status of the competition, Ren Ziwei had already begun to exert his strength, the championship 500 meters champion, the championship 1000 meters champion, Ren Ziwei's sudden emergence in a sense also brought competitive pressure to Wu Dajing. From the championship and championship in early 2021, Ren Ziwei's state can be described as unstoppable, especially in the new season of the short track speed skating World Cup unveiled in October, Ren Ziwei has become the absolute highlight of the Chinese team. In the process of preparing for the Beijing Winter Olympics, Ren Ziwei also established the goal of attacking the five Olympic gold medals in the men's short track speed skating 500 meters, 1000 meters, 1500 meters, men's 5000 meters and men's 2000 meters mixed relay, "I think in five competitions, I have the strength to impact the gold medal, so when the time comes, I will try my best to fight." ”
Today, Ren Ziwei resisted the pressure to win the men's 1000 meters gold medal, which not only showed his strong strength, but also reflected his strong psychological quality. Interestingly, in the short track speed skating team, Ren Ziwei has another nickname - "Elephant", which was given to him by coach Li Yan when he first entered the national team, because his body is relatively large, and he skates heavier and slower. But later coach Li Yan gave a completely different explanation, "When Ren Ziwei sprints on the ice rink, it gives people a feeling of courage and unstoppable, like an elephant." In any case, in the continuous conquest, talent + hard work to make Ren Ziwei's results better and better, "ice flying elephant", "elephant brother" nicknames are getting louder and louder, and now, Ren Ziwei is not only the "all-around king" in the short track speed skating team, but also became the "double champion" in this Winter Olympics.
Another competition in the evening, women's 500 meters short track speed skating, was once the dominant event of the Chinese team, Wang Meng was the absolute king in this project before retiring, she broke the world record many times, bringing the women's 500 meters into 43 seconds, netizens also affectionately called her "Mao Lord". But with Wang Meng's retirement, the Chinese team has never produced convincing results. In this fast and furious competition, China's Zhang Yuting won the fourth place, and it is worth mentioning that the young player Zhang Yuting just turned 22 this year, which is her first Olympic trip. Being able to compete on the same stage with the world's top players and get a fourth place, Zhang Yuting is also worthy of applause for her!
