Wang Meng was right again! The Chinese team was sentenced to the 5000m final, and the post-00s youngster explained what happened. In the beijing winter olympics short track speed skating men's 5000m relay final, the Chinese team composed of Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei, Sun Long and Li Wenlong competed, and the same group was also played by Canada, Italy and Japan. According to the rules, the top two in each group advanced to the final of Group A, but there was an unexpected situation in this group of matches, except for japan, the other three teams advanced to the final of Group A.
In the semi-finals, Wu Dajing was the first stick, after the start of the game, Wu Dajing ranked second, and then Wu Dajing and canadian players alternated to become the first, but after Ren Ziwei took over the baton, the Japanese team suddenly accelerated, once came to the second place, fortunately, Li Wenlong chased back again, and the gap between the four teams in the first half was very small. When there were 10 laps left in the game, there was an unexpected situation on the field, Li Wenlong suddenly fell down and flew directly to the side of the field, which caused the Chinese team to fall to the fourth place, in the end, Canada and Italy ranked in the top two, according to the rules Canada and Italy team joined hands to advance to the group A final, and the Chinese team ranked fourth with a score of 6 minutes 51 seconds 05. Wang Meng, who served as the commentator, immediately said that he did not have to worry when he saw Li Wenlong fall, and then Wang Meng also explained that the Canadian players had a "kick knife" action, the referee would judge the penalty according to the rules, and the Chinese team would be sentenced to the final of Group A.
The referee watched the video replay, and indeed sentenced the Chinese team to the final of Group A, because the Canadian players did not mean it, this matter was purely accidental, so the Canadian players were not punished, so three teams in this group advanced to the final of Group A. I didn't expect that this time was said by Wang Meng right, wang Meng said that he had suffered losses before, when he led the national team, this situation occurred in a competition, so at that time Wang Meng found the technical official of the International Skating Federation, detailed the rules, said that this time Wang Meng could accurately judge that Li Wenlong was "kicked" by the opponent, and the Chinese team would be sentenced to the final.
Li Wenlong, a post-00s youngster, also explained the incident in an interview, when he collided with the Canadian player's ice knife, causing him to fall, and the referee believed that the athletes on both sides were not at fault, so the Canadian team was not disqualified from the final, and the Chinese team was sentenced to the Final of Group A. The other group, South Korea, the Russian Olympic team, reached the top two and advanced to the final of Group A.
