On February 11, Beijing time, the Beijing Winter Olympics, short track speed skating women's 1000 meters 1/4 final came good news, the Netherlands famous Shultin broke the Olympic + world record. But the 3 members of the Chinese team are more regrettable, which is the cruelty of the field.
The quarter-finals were divided into four groups, and the first group to appear was the Fairy Fight, which included Shultin, her teammate Sandra, and the American Corinne Stoddard, as well as the Chinese team duo Qu Chunyu and Han Yutong. In the end, Shultin won the first place and advanced to the semifinals with teammate Sandra. The Americans also advanced third in the group with the best results.
Why is this group a fairy fight? Because the overall results are very good, even Qu Chunyu, who ranks fourth, can be at the top of the list in the second group. Both skated within 1 minute and 27 seconds, with Schulting finishing first in 1:26.514 and her teammate just 0.078 seconds behind her. And Corinne, who finished in third place, with a time of 1:27.912, was the best of all but the Dutch two generals, crushing the next three groups.
The most worth mentioning is that the Olympic record + world record was broken by Schultin in one battle. Previously, in the preliminary round, Schulting had broken an Olympic opportunity, and this time she broke again, while stepping on the world record. This Beijing Winter Olympic Games, whether it is the Olympic record, or the world record, is constantly being refreshed, far mobilization strength is on the one hand, ice conditions, the overall environment, event preparations, etc., also provided great support.
It is a pity that the Chinese team participated in the three, of which Qu Chunyu and Han Yutong, unfortunately and the Netherlands two will be divided into a group, did not qualify, if placed in other groups, maybe they will be promoted. The other person, Zhang Chutong, was in the third group, and she only ranked fourth, and she had no chance to advance. In this way, there will be no Chinese players in the semi-finals, which is depressing.
