On February 12, Beijing time, the largest ice and snow forum in China, the discussion about the women's 1000m final of short track speed skating for the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games continued. Although there were no Chinese athletes participating in the race, the entanglement between the champion Dutch player Shu Erting and the runner-up South Korea's Choi Min-jing in front of the finish line is still a hot topic of discussion among netizens.
From the photos taken by the South Korean media, it can be seen that Cui Minjing actually put on a cold face when hugging Shu Erting, which is also regarded by netizens as evidence that she cannot afford to lose. You know, after the 1000m final, Cui Minjing cried alone for a long time, and Shultin, who won the championship, and DeMei, the Belgian who won the third place, were happy to hug each other. For Cui Minjing's performance after the game, netizens have left messages saying: "Even the South Korean coach has not seen it, the performance of a very small family", "Some people actually say that she is crying with joy, is this not obviously a performance that cannot afford to lose?" "Although I also don't like the sliding method of Shultin's bulldozer, I don't like Choi Ai's black hand", "I feel that the Mentality of the Korean team is really poor, and the silver medal is not worth celebrating?" There are so many small actions to be made, and there is no word."
There have been a lot of penalties in the short track speed skating arena of this Winter Olympic Games, which is also because a sufficient number of high-definition cameras have been installed on the spot, allowing the referee to see whether the players have fouled the players frame by frame. This is quite different from the previous World Series, and it also makes the Korean team, which has always been accustomed to profiting from hidden fouls, quite unaccustomed, and also makes the Korean audience indignant. However, after the Appeal of the South Korean Delegation was rejected by the International Skating Federation, South Korean players, including Hwang Dae-hyun and Choi Min-jing, also relented a lot. In the women's 1000m final, the entanglement between Cui Minjing and Shultin in front of the finish line was seen by the referee as a sharing of responsibility and no penalty, which is also allowed by the current short track speed skating rules.
