On February 13, Beijing time, the men's 500m short track speed skating event at the Winter Olympics will decide the gold medal. China's Ren Ziwei and Wu Dajing are expected to join forces at that time. Referring to the super strength of the two of them, many viewers sighed: this gold medal is stable, and Ren Ziwei and Wu Dajing are equal to "double insurance".
Think about it, short track speed skating belongs to the traditional advantage of the Chinese team. Of the 13 gold medals previously won, 10 came from short track speed skating. At the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Performance of the Chinese Short Track Speed Skating Team was still outstanding, winning gold medals in the mixed relay and the men's 1000 meters event. In the next men's 500 meters event, the Chinese short track speed skating team with Wu Dajing and Ren Ziwei is still very sure.
As the defending champion, Wu Dajing's preparation experience in recent months can be described as a low opening and high walking. Originally planning to improve his form through the short track speed skating World Cup, he never won the championship in the first three races, especially in the first leg of beijing, Wu Dajing was also sent off for running. Fortunately, he managed to win the final stop in the Netherlands. Wu Dajing, who had established the lead early on, finally regained the domineering spirit of giving up his own at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics four years ago.
Referring to Wu Dajing's previous mixed relay at the Winter Olympics and the performance of the men's 1000 meters, he still has enough championship strength in the short distance event. More importantly, Wu Dajing has an enterprising heart that will never accept defeat. It is this strength that has made him from the national women's team sparring a few years ago to today's world champion. Now that he has embarked on his main project, Wu Dajing will inevitably go all out.
Although the men's 500 meters is not his main event, Ren Ziwei, who is known as an all-round warrior, also has the strength to compete for the championship. He had previously returned from the men's 1500m event, and he was obviously eager to find a "field" in the men's 500m event. It is worth mentioning that Ren Ziwei has previously won 2 gold medals in a row. If he wins gold again, he will equal the Chinese Winter Olympic record of winning 3 gold medals in a single Winter Olympics by his predecessor Wang Meng.
Of course, this is not to let Wu Dajing and Ren Ziwei fight separately. In fact, in order to stand out from the championship group composed of Liu Shaolin, Liu Shaokun, Huang Daxian and other masters, Wu Dajing and Ren Ziwei should cooperate to weaken the threat of these top players through established tactics. Only in this way can we truly play the role of "one plus one is greater than two" and then win this Winter Olympic gold medal.
