In the just-concluded Beijing Winter Olympics short track speed skating men's 5000m relay semifinals, China's Li Wenlong was ranked fourth in the group but was sentenced to Group A of the final due to an accident with his opponent.
According to the China News Network, Li Wenlong said that after falling down, his brain was blank, and his first thought was to hand over to Ren Ziwei, the "elephant brother".
According to the China Youth Daily, Li Wenlong explained after the game that when he collided with the Canadian skate, causing himself to fall, because the incident was purely accidental, he and the Canadian players were not at fault, so the Canadian players were not punished, but as the victim of this accident, the Chinese team was sentenced to the final Group A, which is in line with the rules of short track speed skating competitions.
