Beijing News (chief reporter Sun Haiguang) On February 11, in the women's 1000-meter short track speed skating competition of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chinese team Qu Chunyu, Han Yutong and Zhang Chutong all stopped in the quarterfinals, and no one advanced to the semifinals. The young player Zhang Chutong frankly played at a normal level, but there is indeed a certain gap with the top players, "It's okay, go back and continue to work hard." ”
In the quarterfinals, China's Qu Chunyu, Han Yutong and Dutch player Shu Erting were in the first group. Throughout the game, the two members of the Chinese team basically did not have many opportunities, and both were eliminated. Schulting easily qualified as the first in the group, breaking the world record with a time of 1:26.514.
"The technical and tactical skills are not well done." Qu Chunyu said after the race that he hesitated when starting the race, and the opportunity to grab the position was also delayed. Qu Chunyu said that although he tried his best, he also saw the lack of individual items.

Zhang Chutong, an 18-year-old who then appeared, ranked 4th in the group and also failed to qualify, "Today I used my best, the overall situation was very good, the mind was still clear in the game, and it was a bit unsatisfactory not to enter the next round." This group has Italy's Fontana, the women's 500m champion, who also easily advanced to the first place in the group. When it comes to competing with famous players such as Fontana, Zhang Chutong said that there is no pressure. "Compared to them, I was participating in the Olympics for the first time, there was no pressure at all, just go up front and play with them." Zhang Chutong said that it is more important than the smoothing process of the result.
Talking about the gap with the opponent, Zhang Chutong believes that there is still a lot of lack of speed, patience and other aspects, "Young players like me, lack a lot, after all, they have not been polished to that time." In Zhang Chutong's view, since he stood on the field of the Winter Olympics, he must do his best and do what he should do, "It's okay, go back and continue to work hard." ”
