At the Beijing Winter Olympics, the short-track speed skating event is still tense and exciting, which is also the traditional strength of the Chinese team and has always had the highest ratings. On The fourth race day of short track speed skating on February 11, the outside world paid the most attention to two things.
First of all, in the semi-finals of the short track speed skating men's 5000m relay, the Chinese team Li Wenlong could still be sentenced to advance to the group A final after an accidental fall, which once surprised many viewers, and everyone was not very familiar with the rules, although Wang Meng praised his professionalism, saying that he could be directly sentenced to the final after hitting the knife, but everyone was still a little confused.
At that time, the ice knife of Li Wenlong of the Chinese team collided with the ice knife of the Canadian athlete Dion next to him, and then Li Wenlong fell to the ground with an unstable center of gravity. Li Wenlong insisted on completing the handover with Ren Ziwei, and the Chinese team did its best to complete the whole game, but it was still at the bottom of the 4 groups of participating teams, and if the rules of the first two promotions were followed, the Chinese team would definitely not play.
CCTV specially interviewed Yang Yang after the game, she said that according to the new rules of the International Skating Federation, if the two people do not deliberately collide physically, it is a collision of equipment, and the position is relatively far in the front, and the referee has the authority to judge him to advance. Li Wenlong was in contact with the Canadian opponent at the time, so the referee had the right to judge us to the final, which had precedent in the World Cup.
The second thing is that South Korea's Choi Min-jin lost the title in the women's 1000m final, and she cried into tears after the game, but her teammates laughed with schadenfreude. However, for Cui Minjing to feel wronged, there is no sympathy from others, because during the sprint, Cui Minjing still failed to surpass the Dutch star Shultin.
The South Korean sports delegation in this Winter Olympics can be described as infamous, some of them deliberately complained that our food is unpalatable to get the rebuttal of friends around the world, and then in the short track speed skating men's 1000 meters event, the whole army was destroyed and did not qualify for the final, after the game, all kinds of complaints about injustice and non-stop appeal, although the International Skating Federation has beaten their complaints back, this time there are Cui Minjing's embarrassing tears, it can be described as "one cry and two troubles".
However, the International Skating Federation did a good job this time, posting on the social media to congratulate the Dutch star Shultin for defending the champion: "Shulting finally won, she was in the lead from beginning to end! However, many of the pictures in the article are the pictures of South Korean player Choi Min Jing pulling Shultin, which is too funny, this time the world knows that the silver medal of the Korean team is not easy to come by!
