On the evening of February 9, the short track speed skating competition of the Beijing Winter Olympics continued at the Capital Gymnasium. In the just-concluded men's 1500m semifinals, China's Ren Ziwei blocked a foul with his arm and had no chance to attack his third Winter Olympic gold medal.
In the semi-finals, Ren Ziwei started in the fifth lane and slid in the middle position after starting. In the second half of the race, Ren Ziwei slid to the "First Group" and alternately led the skates with Liu Shaoang. In the final three laps, South Korea's Park Jang-woo surpassed Ren Ziwei from the inner path. In the end, Liu Shaoang took the lead in hitting the line, followed by Park Jang-hyun and Ren Ziwei. After video deliberation, the referee ruled that Ren Ziwei had his arm block foul in the straight, and his score was canceled.
After the game, Ren Ziwei said in an interview that he lost too tightly, "There were low-level mistakes, too many ideas, and maybe the baggage was a little heavy." ”
