On the evening of February 10, after a day's truce, the Beijing Winter Olympics speed skating competition rekindled the flames of war, and the women's 5,000 meters final was competed for at the National Speed Skating Hall "Ice Ribbon". Han Mei, a Chinese player who appeared in the second group, played well, skating 7:08.37 to create a new personal high.
The women's 5,000 meters is already Han Mei's third competition at the Winter Olympics, after she has competed in the 3,000 meters and 1,500 meters, and from February 5 to February 10, her cumulative sliding distance has reached 9,500 meters.
Han Mei told reporters in the mixed interview area that he had trained more than 1500 meters and 3000 meters before, and had not prepared for such a 5000 meter test of endurance, "Today is still normal play, because there is no special practice, so the results are not good or bad." This season's World Cup skated past 7 minutes and 09 seconds in Norway, but that venue was not as slippery as the 'ice ribbon'. Han Mei said that being able to participate in multiple events at the Beijing Winter Olympics is a proof of her own strength, and she does not think too much about the distribution of physical strength, but only wants to skate well in each event.
It is worth mentioning that Han Mei also praised the audience who cheered for her at the scene, "I am so proud, the Chinese audience cheered me up, I am particularly excited." When asked by a Beijing Daily client reporter if he heard the audience shouting "Han Mei come on", the 24-year-old Chinese speed skater said: "12 laps, I can hear the circle!" ”
