On February 12, Beijing time, the most eye-catching focus dialogue of the Beijing Winter Olympics is undoubtedly the follow-up men's 500 meters competition, the short track speed skating men's 500 meters, all three major Chinese aces participated, in addition to the two Hungarian Chinese brothers, plus South Korea's only seedling Huang Daxian.
The men's 500 meters this time will be the situation of the Chinese super trio encircling and suppressing Huang Daxian, because Huang Daxian is already the only seedling in South Korea, and the remaining Korean players have been sentenced to be out of the game or fall directly out of the game due to fouls, including their main player Li Junrui, who fell down and killed himself. However, now the semi-final grouping is the latest out, but this time the grouping is not very beneficial for the Chinese team, but it is more favorable for the Korean team, because South Korea's Huang Daxian successfully avoided several aces of the Chinese team.
At present, the latest men's 500m group has been officially exposed, and it is currently determined that Ren Ziwei and Sun Long will be in group 1, and the team with them is the Russian Olympic Committee team Sitnikov, and two players from Kazakhstan. The 2nd group has China's Wu Dajing, and Liu Shaolin, an old rival from the Hungarian team, and the remaining opponents from Italy, France and Latvia, respectively, and there is basically no threat to the two of them.
The third group is led by South Korea's only seedling Hwang Dae-hyun, others are John Henry of hungary, Ivliev of the Russian Olympic Committee and so on. The final group was led by Liu Shao'ang of the Hungarian team, along with two Canadian players, Dubois and Giller, and an American player, Ryan Piviroto, who was also the only american in the United States.
This is the overall grouping situation, this group has finally been revealed, the real strength to compete for the championship of the ace seed players, in fact, huang Daxian, Du Bois, Liu Shaolin, Liu Shaoang and China's trio of 7 people. According to the rules, the top two in each group in the quarter-finals, and the two fastest third places, adding up to 10 players will advance to the semi-finals.
After this group came out, it also triggered a heated discussion, first of all, Wu Dajing's group will be in a group with Liu Shaolin, this is still very concerning, Wu Dajing still has to be a little vigilant and careful with him. After all, this Liu Shaolin still has some controversial moves, especially when the men's 1000m Chinese team won the championship, he obviously collided and contacted Ren Ziwei in the last moment, and the final result was that he was sentenced to cancel the result. Now that veteran General Wu Dajing has been assigned to a group with him at the last Winter Olympics, he still has to be careful, this Liu Shaolin is not easy to deal with.
In addition, China's poor signing luck is also Ren Ziwei and Sun Long, the two are assigned to a group is not a good news, Sun Long if you can be divided into three or four groups, it is the best situation, the three Chinese players are separated, so at least you can guarantee that the three have the opportunity to enter the semifinals together, now there is also a chance, but the opportunity is a little smaller. After all, a group of two Chinese players, you want to win the top 2 is not so easy, and the quarter-finals are not to the point where you need to play together.
The emergence of these two major groupings is not so favorable for the Chinese team, but the South Korean team got a upper signing, Huang Daxian this group really does not have any top players, on his own, Liu Shaoang's signing is also very good, the two of them have a good chance in the second half of the next half will be a semi-final or even promotion, and the Chinese players not only have to advance, but also beware of some controversial actions of the opponents in the same group. After all, don't forget, the Korean media has previously clamored for South Korea and Hungary to join forces against China.
