On February 12, Beijing time, the Beijing Winter Olympics entered the eighth day of competition.
In the short track speed skating men's 500m preliminaries that ended yesterday, wu Dajing, the three players from the mainland, Ren Ziwei easily advanced to the first place in the group, Sun Long suffered a foul and was sentenced by the referee to enter the quarterfinals, and today's men's 500 meters of the quarter-group was produced, and the top two in the quarter-final group directly advanced to the semi-finals, from the perspective of rules, for the Chinese team, the group results were not ideal, and even a bit of a "next signing" feeling.
First of all, Ren Ziwei and Sun Long were also assigned to the first group, and the same group was two Kazakh players and a Russian Olympic Committee player, and the chance of joining hands to qualify was actually not small, but it could not be taken lightly. Wu Dajing and Hungarian Liu Shaolin were divided into the second group, so that the fault tolerance rate is relatively low, in fact, the schedule of this Winter Olympics is not difficult for Wu Dajing, who is already a veteran, to defend his title, before the start of his main men's 500 meters, he has played in three consecutive events, which is a test for his physical strength.
After this group is produced, I am afraid that the happiest is the South Korean team, of the four groups, only the third group of Huang Daxian is the weakest overall competitiveness, in addition to the above two groups with Chinese players, the fourth group is also a medal contender with Liu Shaoang of Hungary and Du Bois of Canada, and Huang Daxian's group, the opponents are some unknown athletes, as long as Huang Daxian himself does not make mistakes, or falls, the first promotion of the group is no suspense.
Of course, although the luck of the group can affect the trend of the race, it is our athletes who can decide the final result, at least not in the same group as the Korean athletes, we can get a relatively clean track, and look forward to tomorrow night, we can see the outstanding performance of the boys.
