February 13, Beijing time, the ninth match day of the Beijing Winter Olympics.
The short track speed skating event continues today, and today will produce gold medals in the men's 500m and women's 3000m relay events, in the men's 500m event, the three players from the mainland, Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei and Sun Long, have all advanced to the quarter-finals, while the women's 3000m final, Fan Kexin, Qu Chunyu, Han Yutong and Zhang Yuting will team up to attack the gold medal, and the final opponents are South Korea, Canada and the Netherlands.
The next men's 500 meters semi-final, mainland players Ren Ziwei and Sun Long were divided into the first group, the defending champion Wu Dajing and the Hungarian star Liu Shaolin were divided into two groups at the same time, the quarterfinals were divided into four groups, the top two in each group and the two best-achieving groups advanced to the semifinals, the first group, Ren Ziwei, Sun LongDaoci were not ideal, the starting stage was behind, trying to surpass the failure, to the third place hit the line, Sun Long's fourth place completely missed the semifinals.
In the second group, Wu Dajing chose to slip as soon as he came up, and constantly added knives, and successfully blocked the catch-up route of the Italian players behind him, the first group easily advanced, Liu Shaolin group fourth was eliminated, the third group, Huang Daxian was in fifth for a long time, but in the last corner to surpass to second. After this group, Ren Ziwei decided that he did not have the opportunity to advance. In the final group, Liu Shaoang and Du Bois easily advanced.
In the semi-finals that followed, Wu Dajing was ranked in the second group, in the same group as Huang Daxian, Liu Shaoang, du Bois, in the first group, the Russian Olympic Committee players and an Italian player advanced to the final, the second group began, Wu Dajing was in the third lane, the starting stage was in the third, there was an interlude in the last one, Huang Daxian and Du Bois collided, Wu Dajing tried to surpass the interference, the referee after video replay, Wu Dajing finally ranked third and did not qualify for the final, and the defense failed.
It is a pity that the three Chinese players have not been able to enter the final competition, but if you want to pay tribute to Wu Dajing, it is very admirable to continue to play as a veteran, and I hope that in the men's 5000m relay competition, we still have the opportunity to realize our dreams.
