#Ice and Snow 2022 #2022 Beijing Winter Olympics flag bearer Gao Tingyu broke the "flag bearer curse" for the Chinese team for nearly 43 years to win the fourth gold medal, but also the first men's gold medal in the history of the speed skating Winter Olympics, so far speed skating has only won one gold medal for men and women, coincidentally, Zhang Hong and Gao Tingyu, who won the first gold in speed skating last time, are in 7 lanes together, which can be described as "7 wins"! The post-competition award ceremony was also awarded by Zhang Hong to Gao Tingyu with gold medals and a cordial group photo. Although the speed skating women's team is slightly weak at present, the men's team has two trump cards, Gao Tingyu and Ning Zhongyan, and the 1000 meters led by Ning Zhongyan and the team racing will continue to rush gold for the Chinese team!
Compared with Gao Yuting, who jumped up and jumped on the highest podium of the Winter Olympics, The silver medal winner of South Korea's Che Minkui did an "indecent act" - cleaning the podium with his hands. Jaw-dropping, this is the same as the four Canadian athletes in the short track speed skating men's 5000m relay award ceremony at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, the original meaning is to satirize the host's unfair decision, that the Winter Olympics suffered injustice is not only the Canadian team, the Chinese short track speed skating team is the biggest victim. Nowadays, Che Minkui's behavior is simply out of anger, the two can not be confused, speed skating two tracks do not interfere with each other, pure speed competition, it is clear that they can't afford to lose! Can't afford to lose, and still play to taunt the host for no reason, lose and lose!
South Korea directly ignored this, first the Blue House sent a congratulatory letter, and then Moon Jae-in posted on social media congratulating Che Minkui on winning the silver medal in the men's speed skating 500 meters at the Winter Olympics. He wrote, "Congratulations on winning the silver medal, people will surely applaud you for your second consecutive silver medal after Pyeongchang, thank you for elevating the status of South Korea's speed skating powerhouse, and be proud of you."
Che Minkui said in an interview: "There are only 0.07 seconds away from the championship, and it is a pity that I did not win the gold medal." He said he would strive to win the medal again in the men's 1000m. Obviously, he is quite unconvinced of the defeat of Gao Tingyu, want to find the "field" in the 1000 meters, although the 1000 meters of Gao Tingyu did not participate, but the Chinese team also has a speed skating ace - Ning Zhongyan, 1500 meters did not play their own strength, they are also very unwilling, this time there are "jumping beam clowns" are rampant, Ning Zhongyan will give a strong response on the track, in the more advantageous 1000 meters we definitely have reason to believe that he can bring the second gold of the Chinese team's speed skating. In December 2021, Canada won the 1000m world cup and set a personal best of 1:06.656, which can be said to be the best speed skater in the 1000m before the Winter Olympics, and also beat the Olympic champion Dutch star Nius in the 1500m.
The men's 1000m final in speed skating will take place on February 18th!
