Wang Meng criticized fiercely, "Huang Daxian raised his sword, it is too dangerous, affecting Wu Dajing in the back!" ”
According to the rules, the top 2 in each group qualify for final group A in the semifinals, and the 3rd and 4th places in each group qualify for final group B. There are 10 players in the semi-finals, so the competition is very fierce, and if there is no foul, only 4 people can reach the Group A final!
In the semi-finals, the first group of five were Konstantin Ivliyev from Russia, Denis Nikisha from Kazakhstan, Pavel Sitnikov from Russia, Petro Sigil from Italy, and Roberts Krugerbergs from Latvia.
The second group of 5 people are the defending champion Wu Dajing, south Korea's gold-winning huang Daxian, Hungary's Liu Shaoang, Canada's Steven Dubois, and Kazakhstan's Abuzar Azh galiyev! That is to say, Wu Dajing and Huang Daxian are in the same group, and the confrontation between the two has attracted much attention! In addition, The Olympic 2 Golden King Ren Ziwei did not advance to the semifinals.
The race started, and in the first group, Russia's Konstantin Ivliev finished 1st with a time of 40.65 seconds, Italy's Petro Sigil ranked 2nd with a time of 40.847 seconds, and another Russian player, Pavel Sitnikov, was 40.848 seconds, that is, the difference between the 2nd and 3rd was 0.001 seconds!
The second group, up there was someone to rush to run, and then started again, Wu Dajing ranked 3rd, he has always wanted to surpass, looking for opportunities, finally, Huang Daxian is also anxious, he obviously fouled, Wu Dajing was disturbed, originally the 2nd, and finally fell to the 3rd, no chance to qualify.
It can be said that seeing that he could not advance, Huang Daxian still fought, even if the foul did not matter, Wang Meng said bluntly, "Wu Dajing sprinted, was interfered with!" Alas, playing against Huang Daxian is always uncomfortable, unless he is thrown far away. Huang Daxian raised his heel and knife, and Wu Dajing kicked the ice knife without dodging in order to dodge, which was too dangerous! ”
In the end, Wu Dajing lost 0.016 seconds and missed the final, so China's short track speed skating lost another gold!
