On February 11, Beijing time, Beijing Winter Olympics, men's 5000 meters relay semifinals, the Chinese team was fouled, fell out of the track, ice knife kicked the fence out of two big holes, that scene is too thrilling. How does the referee decide the penalty?
The relay semi-finals were divided into two groups, with China in the first group, with Canada, Italy and Japan in the same group. The Chinese team sent a lineup of Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei, Sun Long and Li Wenlong. Because it is a 5000-meter relay, so the time of sliding is very long, the first half of the time, the Chinese team has been in the lead, but in a handover of the baton, fell to the second place, and then has been looking for opportunities to overtake, especially when handing over the baton, is the best opportunity.
Another bat, Li Wenlong was more anxious, wanted three or two big strides to rush to the front, and the opponent next to him also had the same idea, the two were too close, and the ice knife collided. Li Wenlong failed to stand firm, directly fell out of the track, crashed into the fence.
Li Wenlong did fall quite hard this time, and the ice knives on his two feet directly kicked out two large holes in the fence. Judging from Li Wenlong's expression, it is also quite painful, but he can't take care of much, and he has to quickly get up and continue to participate in the game, but it is basically impossible to catch up with other players, and he can only wait for the confirmation of the final referee to have a chance to qualify.
Sure enough, after the game, the referee blew a foul after watching the replay, and the Chinese team was directly awarded to the final of Group A, Canada and Italy also successfully advanced, while the Japanese team entered the final of Group B. Another semi-final was also concluded, with South Korea and the Russian Olympic Committee reaching the Group A final, and the Netherlands and Hungary reaching the Group B final. We wish the Chinese team good luck in the final.
