On February 12, 2022, the good news came from the speed skating arena of the Beijing Winter Olympics that Gao Tingyu won the fourth gold medal for the Chinese team by breaking the Olympic record. The day before the eighth anniversary of Zhang Hong's Olympic victory, Gao Tingyu became China's first men's speed skating champion. As the standard-bearer of this competition, Gao Tingyu also broke the spell and became the first standard-bearer of the Chinese Olympic delegation to win the championship at the current Olympic Games.
Four years ago, Gao Tingyu stood on the podium of the Winter Olympics, and since then, he has had a new goal, which is to change the color of the medals. In the past four years, Gao Tingyu has trained hard and made continuous progress, and finally made a major breakthrough.
In the final, 34.32 seconds, set a new Olympic record, narrowly defeating the Korean athlete by 0.07 seconds, 0.17 seconds faster than the Japanese player, all this is too perfect. Zhang Hong said that Gao Tingyu's running from the start to the end of the slide to the final sprint are all perfect, and the state of presence is very good.
At the moment of winning the championship, Gao Tingyu hugged the coach tightly. The great progress that can be made in these four years has a lot to do with the coach's efforts. Subsequently, Li Yan also hugged Gao Tingyu. While Gao Tingyu made history, Li Yan became the first Chinese coach to win championships in both the short track and the avenue.
When Gao Tingyu and the coach continued to hug and celebrate, Li Yan quietly came behind them, and she shed tears while sorting out the national flag, because Gao Tingyu had to wear the national flag around the field for a week. Li Yan prepared the national flag in advance, and she noticed every detail, which was touching. Although he has not been in office for a long time, Li Yan has made great contributions.
At the last Winter Olympics, Li Yan led Wu Dajing to win the championship, which was the only gold medal of the Chinese delegation. Four years later, she once again contributed to the Chinese delegation. Previously, when the Chinese short track speed skating team won the championship consecutively, many netizens said that there was also a credit to Li Yan.
This is a glorious moment and a historical moment for Chinese speed skating, this is just the beginning, I believe that Chinese speed skating will become more and more excellent. Next, they will participate in individual events and chases, and look forward to the good news of Chinese speed skating again!
