Get through the dangers! China reached the men's relay final, South Korea reversed the first place, and the previous champion was out
On February 11, Beijing time, short track speed skating began the men's 5000-meter relay competition. In the men's 500m preliminaries held earlier today, all three of China's competitors managed to advance to the next round of contention.
There are two groups of competitors competing in this 5,000-meter relay, so it will start directly from the semi-finals, and the top two in each group will qualify for the final.
The Chinese team still has a very good strength in this project, and today's semi-final, the Chinese team sent a lineup of Wu Dajing, Li Wenlong, Sun Long and Ren Ziwei.
The Chinese team played in a group with Japan, Italy and Canada.
Semi-final Group 1:
The first stick of the Chinese team is Wu Dajing, after the start of the game, there is no gap between several teams, because the distance of 5000 meters is very long, so everyone is not in a hurry at all, and has been slowly going to the smooth sliding, and China is following behind the Canadian team.
With 30 laps left, the Chinese team successfully completed the rebound at a bend. However, at the 25th lap, Canada used the inner channel to complete the overtaking, and then the two teams have been constantly going to each other's transcendence.
The Chinese team also began to slowly bring up the overall speed, and there was still the last 2,000 meters left in the race. Everyone's pace is also improving, the Chinese team began to pay great attention to the protection of the inner road, and there was a certain collision between the Chinese team and Canada when the baton was handed over at 15 laps.
With 11 laps left, the Canadian player kicked the knife directly, and Li Wenlong fell off the track. This also allowed the Chinese team to fall directly to the last place, and finally completed the game smoothly. In the end, Canada won the first place in this group and the last place in the Chinese team.
After the game, the referees began to watch the video again, and through the replay, it can be seen that the Canadian ice knife did touch the Chinese player directly, which led to the obvious toes of the Chinese team.
After a relatively long wait, the referee finally decided that the Chinese team had entered the Final of Group A. Canada was also not awarded a foul, and three teams in this group managed to reach the final.
Semi-final group 2:
This group consists of South Korea, Russia, Hungary and the Netherlands. After the South Korean team started, it entered the leading state, the competition for all three places was still very fierce, and Russia was also staring at the position of the South Korean team.
Every handover of the South Korean team is very compact, and the control of the position is very good, although the team behind has been competing for the position, but the Korean team is still tightly guarding its own inner road, so that the opponent has no way to complete the overtaking.
With 19 laps left, the Netherlands found the opportunity to go straight to the first place. The Dutch team's ability to seize the opportunity is really strong, that is, when using the corners and handing over the baton, it successfully completes the surpassing in a row, directly from the third place to the first place.
With the final 10 laps left, Hungary has completely lost the opportunity to compete, and the winner of the last Winter Olympics has been bleak. The South Korean team finally completed the overtaking directly on the last lap and successfully won the first place.
The teams that reached the final were: China, South Korea, Canada, Russia and Italy.
