On February 9, 2022, Beijing time, the Beijing Winter Olympics short track speed skating competition decided a gold medal, in the men's 1500 meters final, South Korea's Huang Daxian stood out, almost all the way ahead, and finally won the championship. This is the first gold medal won by the Korean short track speed skating team in this competition, and it is also the first gold medal won by the Korean delegation. The Korean cheerleaders in the stands celebrated wildly, and we saw a familiar figure: the famous table tennis player Yoo Seung-min.
South Korea has always been a powerhouse in short track speed skating, but in the three events that have ended at the Winter Olympics, South Korea not only missed the medal, even South Korean players could not enter the final, Choi Min Jing fell, Hwang Dae-hyun, Lee Joon-sui and other well-known players were convicted of fouls.
The South Korean side was so angry that it even held a public press conference to appeal the foul. However, in the end, on the field, we still have to rely on strength to speak, through high-definition replay we found that the Korean players did foul, can only say that their mentality is wrong.
It is undeniable that individual Players in South Korea are indeed very strong, as long as they do not foul, they are definitely a big favorite to win the championship. Just like the men's 1500m race, all three Korean athletes reached the final of Group A. Because there were many accidents in the men's 1500m semi-finals, many people were sentenced to the final of Group A, and finally 10 players could impact the gold medal in the event.
In the final, South Korea's Hwang Daehyun stood out early, almost all the way ahead, he is not only fast, the sense of position is also very good, and it is difficult for other players behind him to surpass. In the end, Huang Daxian won the championship in a relatively relaxed way, and Liu Shaolin and Liu Shaoang, who had high hopes, failed to enter the top three.
After the game, Huang Daxian was particularly excited, although the referee had not yet announced the results, but Huang Daxian knew that he had not fouled and had already begun to celebrate. The South Korean coach also released the pressure and hugged Huang Daxian with tears in his eyes.
In the stands, the Korean cheerleaders stood up collectively, clapping and cheering at the same time, and we saw a familiar face, that is, The former rival of national table tennis, Yoo Seung-min.
As an official of the South Korean delegation and the International Olympic Committee, Yoo Seung-min has long been in Beijing. South Korean players have had poor results in the first few matchdays, and the pressure on Yoo Seung-min is also very high. This time, Huang Daxian successfully won the championship, and Liu Chengmin can be said to be in a state of ecstasy, he has been standing, shouting with his arms raised, and almost jumped up.
As we all know, Yoo Seung-min has a great influence in South Korea, after all, he is an Olympic champion, and he defeated the national table tennis player to win the Olympic championship, which is the goal of many young people to catch up, and his appearance may also boost the morale of Korean athletes!
