At 7:00 p.m. Beijing time on February 9, the much-anticipated men's short track speed skating 1500 meters quarterfinals, semi-finals and finals were held as scheduled, and the Chinese team Ren Ziwei, Sun Long and Zhang Tianyi competed for the gold medal, and their old opponents Huang Daxian of South Korea, Liu Shaolin of Hungary and other old opponents were competing for seats. Since the quarter-finals, all athletes have treated it as the final, but Chinese athlete Sun Long did not play well in the early leading skate and instant acceleration, and has been stuck behind his opponent and cannot be surpassed, in a very awkward position, and finally missed the semi-finals. Another 17-year-old Chinese teenager, Zhang Tianyi, accidentally fell in the corner due to unstable center of gravity, and the slow release showed that he was not fouled by other athletes, so he directly lost the qualification for the semi-finals, which is a pity! Another group, Ren Ziwei, came to the top spot in an instant after a straight pass and reached the semi-finals with Hungarian athlete Liu Shaoang.
However, in the semi-finals, the only Chinese athlete Ren Ziwei was sentenced in the third group competition for reaching out in the corner, and finally missed the next competition, and the Hungarian star Liu Shaoang in the same group entered the final with a first result of 2 minutes 12.53 seconds. At the same time, the final also included 10 players such as Lee Jun-rui and Huang Daxian of the South Korean team, Liu Shaolin of Hungary, etc. A scuffle cannot be avoided, and the 1500-meter short track speed skating final of so many people is still very rare. The world record holder, Dutch star Kneigert, also missed the final because of fouls. But the rules are ironclad, even the host can not override the referee's judgment, treat Koreans like this, treat our own people must also be strict requirements, can not give people a handle ah! I can only bless these two athletes for their outstanding performance in the subsequent gold medals.
After the final, the 10-man arena was really slightly crowded, but Huang Daxian, who had previously been disqualified in the short track speed skating 1000m semifinals, made a big stride today, occupying the leading position as soon as he came up, and finally won the gold medal with a time of 2 minutes 09.23 seconds, which was the first gold medal of the South Korean delegation at the Winter Olympics, which was also to make up for the low-level mistakes that had occurred in the previous middle, and the South Korean team finally broke the gold medal drought.
In any case, it is already very remarkable that athletes can find such a high-level stage, whether it is Ren Ziwei, Zhang Tianyi, or Sun Long, who has a negative attitude today, it is all good, the mentality of young people in the competition will definitely be affected, only through continuous tempering can they make themselves stronger, refuel the Chinese short track speed skating team, and then greet them with the gold points of two projects, I hope that the next can adjust the state and continue to perform excellently!
