In the men's 1500m short track speed skating competition at the Winter Olympics, Liu Shaolin from Hungary broke the Winter Olympic record in the quarterfinals. He skated a time of 2:09:213, breaking the best record set by a Korean athlete at the last Winter Olympics. However, what is more surprising is that in the final stage, Liu Shaolin only won the sixth place, defeating South Korea's Huang Daxian. This achievement somewhat makes the netizens who support him have some regrets.
So, what is the reason why Liu Shaolin lost to Huang Daxian in the final?
Some netizens said that the Liu Shaolin brothers still need to participate in the men's 5,000-meter relay race, and their goal is to defend the 5,000-meter gold medal. At the last Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, the Liu Shaolin brothers won the men's 5,000m relay championship. This is their gold grab project, so they don't have to die tonight in the face of the powerful Huang Daxian. In addition, Huang Daxian's personal strength is indeed too strong, and he may not be able to slide to win the opponent, so it is better to save a little physical energy.
However, for Ren Ziwei, it is necessary to learn the lesson of today's foul, because he still needs to participate in the men's 5000m relay race. At the same time, we must also maintain vigilance against the Liu Shaolin brothers.
In the men's 5,000m relay at the last Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, the Chinese short track team won the second place. It can be said that the Hungarian short track team is still our main title rival.
In addition to the above netizens speculating about the retention of power for the later matches, the tactical arrangements of the Liu Shaolin brothers are also a bit problematic. They were estimated to have pushed too hard in the quarter-finals and semi-finals, which eventually led to the physical inability to keep up with the finals. Judging from the final game screen, Liu Shaolin is indeed a bit unable to keep up, not as good as Liu Shaoang.
Overall, the short track speed skating race is like that, full of drama. Sometimes if you break a record, you may not be able to win the championship. Sometimes as long as you have a result, you can advance to the final. For example, in ren ziwei's group today, the five people with achievements all advanced to the final.
