In yesterday's men's short track speed skating 1500m semifinals, mainlander Ren Ziwei was sentenced to a foul for obstructing the Italian skating with his hands, so he missed the final. As soon as this news came out, netizens talked about it.
Although we don't want to see Ren Ziwei miss the final, we hope that he can win another gold medal. But after calming down, I feel that this matter is really more beneficial than harmful for our Chinese short track speed skating team.
The first thing that everyone needs to understand is that even if Ren Ziwei is not sentenced to foul and enter the final, he is not saying that he will win the gold steadily. As he said in an interview with reporters after the game, many netizens thought that this was a gold point, but in fact, my grasp was not particularly large, this is a gold point.
Does losing a chance that is not too big a gold rush opportunity for us to lose a lot? I don't think it's big.
In the case of less than a large loss, Ren Ziwei's decision to foul this time has brought us three major benefits:
First, this means that Ren Ziwei can end yesterday's game early, he can get a better rest, and his physical fitness can recover better. The 1500m race is not Ren Ziwei's last event in this year's Olympic Games, he still has the 500m qualifier and the 5000m relay semifinals on February 11. With such a short interval between matches and heavy tasks in the later stages, ending the game early yesterday was too useful for him to recover his fitness faster and better.
Second, Sai Weng lost his horse and knew that it was not a blessing, and this foul gave Ren Ziwei a good lesson and let him correct his mentality in the future games. Like he said in an interview after the game. 'I did deserve to be penalized for this foul, it was a low-level mistake, I didn't concentrate when I was skating, I was still thinking about how to skate in the final." I believe that after being punished once, Ren Ziwei's mentality will become much better in future games.
Third, such a fair sentence can also shut the mouths of South Koreans. In previous matches, a number of South Korean players were punished for fouls, which caused strong dissatisfaction from the South Korean team and Korean netizens, who smeared us and said that we were unfair to them. Although the INTERNATIONAL Skating Federation gave a detailed explanation for every foul committed by the South Korean team, they still did not stop, they just did not want to believe the facts. Then this time Ren Ziwei was sentenced to a foul can show that the game is fair, and when we are sentenced to a foul, we will not mess around but admit it.
In summary, netizens should not be too sad about Ren Ziwei being punished last night. If you can read my analysis in its entirety, you know that I am telling the truth that "this is far more good for us than harmful.".
