On the evening of February 9, at the Capital Gymnasium, the short track speed skating venue of the Beijing Winter Olympics, Ren Ziwei, who had previously won two gold medals, was sentenced to foul in his main event in the men's 1500 meters, and finally terminated the semifinals.
He said: "In the next game, I am still treated as a 'small transparent', I am still used to being a transparent person, not very accustomed to hot search." ”
In the short track speed skating men's 1500 meters event, Ren Ziwei is now ranked first in the world, so this gold medal is considered to be the most promising for the Chinese team to win this Winter Olympics.
In the previous few days of the competition, Ren Ziwei has won the mixed relay and the 1000 meters in succession, and the idea of winning the third gold of the individual has burdened him.
"It's because I think about it too much that my pressure is really bigger, in fact, I really shouldn't think about it so much." Everyone is saying that you take three (gold medals), you must be the first, in fact, I don't have absolute strength. He said, "People expect too much from me, I expect too much from myself, and I should leave these things behind in the game." ”
Ren Ziwei said that it is not right to go to the game with this kind of thinking, "Before you played, you have lost half of it, and now you may have less 'reckless' energy, and more of a thought is to advance to the final first."
In the semi-finals, Ren Ziwei, who once led the way, crossed the finish line in third place in the group, and was subsequently cancelled due to a foul on his hand. It is worth mentioning that the 7 players in this group, except for two who were cancelled due to fouls, the other 5 all entered the final of Group A, of which 3 were awarded.
Ren Ziwei said: "In fact, it is slippery unnatural, playing tightly, that collision should not have happened, it was a low-level mistake." I was still competing in the semi-finals, so I had to think about the finals and couldn't pay attention to some of the details. ”
Last night, when Wang Meng explained the game, he always stressed that the players of the Chinese team should slide forward if they have the strength, and don't think too much. Coincidentally, Ren Ziwei also reflected: "Why didn't I go all out to pull (outer path beyond) in the last two laps?" Let the South Korean team guard the position for Liu Shaoang there, why don't I go up and get the first position? ”
In this Winter Olympics, Ren Ziwei participated in a total of 5 events, and will play in the 500 meters and 5000 meters relays. He said: "All I have to do now is to put down the baggage and actively prepare for the next competition, both competitions are very important, there will be no so-called focused events, we have to go all out to skate." ”
Ren Ziwei also said, "Still treat me as a 'small transparent', I am still used to being a transparent person, not used to hot search." ”
