On February 8, 2022, the Winter Olympics entered a white-hot stage, in the cross-country skiing men's individual sprint (free technology) competition, there was a new unexpected situation, China's Wang Qiang was disqualified because of fouls, did not qualify for the semi-finals, this matter also attracted everyone's attention, the referee repeatedly reviewed the video, and finally he announced that the cancellation of Wang Qiang's results was invalid, which was a pity.
Cross-country skiing in China is an unpopular project, it is not easy to get qualifications, it used to be heavy on participation, the best result was 21st, the qualifier was eliminated, but this time Wang Qiang was a blockbuster, showing strong competitiveness, continuously creating history, in the qualification Wang Qiang with a score of 2 minutes 48 seconds 91, ranked fifth to advance to the 1/4 final, bringing an impact to the players from Europe and the United States.
Then in the 1/4 final, Wang Qiang made a breakthrough again, got a score of 2 minutes 49 seconds 64 seconds, won the second place in the group, could have advanced to the semi-finals, but then was convicted of fouling, and finally directly out, the results were also canceled, from Wang Qiang's performance in the two rounds of competition, he has the possibility of impacting medals, continue to create history, unfortunately there was an unexpected situation, failed to continue to move forward.
The final gold medal was Norway's Kleber, the result was 2 minutes 58 seconds 06 seconds, Italy's Pellegrino won the silver medal, the time was 2 minutes 58 seconds 32, the Russian Olympic Committee player Terenjev won the bronze, the time was 2 minutes 59 seconds 37, whether it is the qualification round, or the quarterfinals, Pellegrino and Terentev are not as good as Wang Qiang, and only the champion Klebendorf can maintain the lead.
Of course, it cannot be said that Wang Qiang will be able to achieve good results if he advances to the final, but at least there is a possibility of getting on the podium, originally everyone did not pay much attention, and being able to rank fifth in the qualification tournament can explain the problem, he has a strong competitiveness.
Chinese players were cancelled because of fouls, in this Winter Olympics or the first time, the current Chinese team is also appealing to this, hoping to get a reasonable explanation, the attention of the unpopular project is very low, but Wang Qiang's performance is worth affirming, if it is not because of the foul was punished out, it is entirely possible to impact the medal, or even the champion, now look at the official response to this matter.
No matter what the final result, Wang Qiang's outstanding performance has left a deep impression on everyone, he stood on the stage of the World Series to win glory for the country, break through his limits again and again, face difficulties and fight tenaciously, forge ahead, go all out to do the best, this spirit is admirable, worthy of young people to learn, and finally let us wait patiently, hoping to harvest good news!
