On the evening of February 11, Beijing time, the short track speed skating arena of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics will determine the gold medal in the women's 1000 meters. The three Chinese female players Qu Chunyu, Han Yutong and Zhang Chutong will attack the medal and even the gold medal, and if they can win the championship, it will be the third gold medal of short track speed skating in this Winter Olympics and the fourth gold medal of the Chinese delegation. In addition, there will be a competition for the men's 500m preliminary round and the short track speed skating men's 5000m relay semifinals, and Wu Dajing will officially start the men's 500m defense journey!
At the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chinese short track speed skating team has won 2 gold medals. On the seventh competition day, the short track speed skating field will decide another gold medal, that is, the gold medal of the short track speed skating women's 1000 meters, and the three Chinese players Qu Chunyu, Han Yutong and Zhang Tong will attack the gold medal. A day ago, in the women's 1000m preliminaries of short track speed skating, Qu Chunyu, Han Yutong and Zhang Chutong competed in three Chinese players, and the three women played in Group 2, Group 3 and Group 5 respectively.
The first to appear was Han Yutong, who competed against Dutch star Schultin in Group 2, who had the advantage from the start and advanced to the first place in the group at 1:30.342, while setting a new Olympic record. Han Yutong crossed the line for the second time, the result was 1:27.401, and the second place in the group advanced to the quarterfinals.
Qu Chunyu played in group 3, where she had the upper hand, with a time of 1:30.342, the first place in the group to advance to the quarterfinals. Zhang Chutong, who then appeared in group 5, was in third place after the starting gun was fired, and in the following competition, Zhang Chutong played steadily, ranking third in the group at 1:27.910, and advancing to the quarter-finals with a better third place.
Objectively speaking, the Dutch star Shu erting and South Korea's Choi Min-jing have very strong strength in this project, and their preliminary results have set a new Winter Olympic record. The Chinese women's team is at a disadvantage in the 1000m event, and it is difficult to compete for the gold medal. However, short track speed skating has always been unpopular, the accident in the competition is very large, if you want to win the championship, you must maintain stability, and all three women will have opportunities.
Today's competition will also feature the men's 500m preliminaries for short track speed skating and the semi-finals for the men's 5000m relay for short track speed skating. Among them, as the defending champion of the men's 500 meters, Wu Dajing will officially start the journey of defending the title. I look forward to the success of short-track speed skaters and look forward to the arrival of the 4th gold medal of the Chinese delegation!
