South Korea's Kim Min Seok won the bronze medal at 1:44.24, south Korea's first medal at the Winter Olympics.
The format is a one-shot victory or defeat, two or two matches in the game, and the less time it takes to reach the end, the higher the ranking will be;
Dutch Kroll in Group 10 broke the Olympic record in 1 minute 43.55 seconds, followed by Dutch Ness in Group 11 in 1 minute 43.21 seconds.
Ning Zhongyan played in the outer road of the 14th group, and the inner road was Japan's Sakuro Oda. At the beginning of the game, Ning Zhongyan's swing at the beginning was very hard, after the corner, the two had been side by side, and after changing the inner road, Ning Zhongyan was ahead of the curve, with a single lap time of 25.7 seconds. In the last lap, Ning Zhongyan's speed dropped a bit, and in the end, Ning Zhongyan's performance was 1:45.28, ranking seventh.
Before the game, Ning Zhongyan was recognized as a dark horse, and although the 22-year-old youngster had only been in the national team for more than 3 years, his strength had improved rapidly and his results were good. At last year's ISU Speed Skating World Cup in Stavanger, Norway, Ning Zhongyan won the men's team racing and the 1500m to achieve a double. In December last year, he won the Speed Skating World Cup In the 1000 meters of Canada, showing his super strength. It is precisely because of his good performance in the World Cup that Ning Zhongyan got the opportunity to participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics in advance.
Ning Zhongyan's characteristics are that he can withstand the straights, the cornering technique is quite excellent, and he can always overtake through the corners in the race. In the performance of the last two laps, the crazy explosion is also Ning Zhongyan's strength.
So Ning Zhongyan is very sorry, did not get a medal, and then Ning Zhongyan will also play in the men's 1000 meters and the men's collective departure, but also look forward to his performance.
