On the evening of February 9, the short track speed skating event of the Beijing Winter Olympics entered the third competition day, and the fourth gold medal in the short track event was decided on the same day, in the men's 1500 meters competition, the Chinese players did not perform well, Sun Long and Zhang Tianyi stopped the quarter-finals, and Ren Ziwei was out of the semifinals because of his arm blocking fouls, and did not qualify for the final. Because there were more fouls in the semi-finals, in addition to the original 6-person final seat, 4 other players were judged to be in the final, a total of 10 people played in the final, which also became one of the few classic scenes in the short track speed skating final. In the end, South Korea's famous Huang Daxian performed well and won the championship strongly, which was also the first gold medal and medal of the Korean short track speed skating team at the Winter Olympics.
In the first two days of the short track speed skating event at the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chinese team performed well, winning the first day of the mixed team 2000m relay and the men's 1000m championships, and the women's 500m final, Italy veteran Fang Tana defended her title. Today there were three events, including a three-shot competition in the men's 1500m, from the quarterfinals to the semi-finals, until the final to determine the winner, and the women's 1000m preliminary round and the women's 3000m relay semifinals. In the Chinese legion, the men were led by Ren Ziwei, Sun Long and Zhang Tianyi played in the 1500 meters, on the women's side, Fan Kexin led the women's relay, and Qu Chunyu, Han Yutong and Zhang Chutong played in the women's 1000 meters preliminary.
For Ren Ziwei, tonight is the moment for him to impact his third gold, while the two youngsters are attacking opponents. As a result, Sun Long only won the fourth place in the 2nd group and did not have the opportunity to advance, and Zhang Tianyi fell off the track because of mistakes, and finally had no results, leaving Only Ren Ziwei to be the first in the group and single-handedly reached the semifinals. Ren Ziwei, who appeared in the third group of the semifinals, competed with 6 other people, because he extended his arm to block the opponent during the overtaking process, and finally the third Ren Ziwei who crossed the finish line was convicted of a foul and missed the final, so far, the Chinese trio was collectively out of the game and had no chance to compete for the final gold medal.
Because there was more physical contact and fouls in the semi-finals, in addition to the top two of each of the three groups, a total of 6 people qualified for the final, 4 players were sentenced to the final of Group A, so there were as many as 10 players in the final, which became a relatively rare scene in the short track history of the Winter Olympics. Perhaps because there are more people, after the start of the final, everyone is very consciously lined up, like a long dragon sliding, even if it is surpassed, they will choose the outside of the straight to try, basically there is little physical contact. In the end, the 10 people skated smoothly through the race, south Korea's Hwang Dae-hyun took the lead and finally crossed the finish line first and won the gold medal, while Canada's Dubois and the Russian Olympic Committee's Simon finished second and third respectively.
