In the short track speed skating field of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the men's 1500 meters began to compete, and after the quarter-finals, China was left with only Ren Ziwei, and he also had the opportunity to impact the third gold of the individual. However, in the semi-final competition, Ren Ziwei was found to be fouled and regrettably out, which also meant that the Chinese short track team had no chance to compete for medals in this project.
In the men's 1500 meters, the Chinese team sent three people to compete, but they lost two players in the quarterfinals, Sun Long ranked fourth in the group, Zhang Tianyi made a mistake and fell off the track, only Ren Ziwei advanced as the first in the group.
In the semi-finals, Ren Ziwei was divided into the third group, with Liu Shaoang, Hamelin and Park Zhangxi in the same group. After the start of the competition, Ren Ziwei fought very actively, and then waited for the opportunity, and after a few laps, he successfully rose to the first place, but then he was surpassed by Liu Shaoang from the outside road, and finally South Korea's Park Zhangyi also surpassed Ren Ziwei, and finally ended with the third place result. However, in the subsequent replay, the referee gave Ren Ziwei to block the foul, and the result was canceled, and it was missed in the final.
For this result is still a little disappointed, originally expected Ren Ziwei to impact the personal third gold, but unfortunately lost the opportunity because of fouls. In the next final, we can only watch other countries compete for medals, and South Korea finally seized the opportunity this time, and 3 people advanced to the final.
Park Jang-woo, who was in the same group as Ren Ziwei, advanced to the final with the second place in the group, while Lee Joon-sui and Liu Shaolin in the first group fought fiercely, and the competition between the two was also very anxious, and finally Lee Jun-sui won the first place in the group with a time of 2:10.586, and Liu Shaolin ranked second in the group with 2:10.685. Another famous player, Huang Daxian, played steadily this time, initially following the big troops, waiting until the halfway point to quickly reach the first position, and then maintained the lead, winning the first place in the group with 2 minutes 13.188 seconds.
All three South Korean players reached the final and are expected to hit the first gold medal at the Beijing Winter Olympics, and if the project loses the gold medal again, they may collapse. In this final, their main opponents will be 2 famous Players of Chinese Descent: Liu Shaolin and Liu Shaoang, who will be the main competitors of South Korea and expect them to perform well.
