Short-track women will win another bronze for the Chinese delegation. In the just-concluded Beijing Winter Olympics short track speed skating women's 3000m relay final, the Chinese team composed of Han Yutong, Qu Chunyu, Zhang Chutong, Fan Kexin and Zhang Yuting won the third place.
The Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics is Fan Kexin's third Olympic trip, and it is likely to be the last... After 12 years of sharpening a sword, the 29-year-old finally fulfilled her 12-year Olympic gold medal dream at the Winter Olympics - winning the short track speed skating 2000 meters mixed team relay championship with her teammates. In tonight's game, she also played a mainstay role, completing the key overtaking in the game. To borrow Wang Meng's words: "Sochi we fouled, Pyeongchang we fouled, this time we did not foul, and after 12 years to get on the podium again." The Chinese short track women's team deserves applause."
After the game, they hugged each other tightly, and some of the players had red eyes, but Fan Kexin, who had cried twice after winning the gold medal in the mixed relay, did not cry this time, and she lay on the ice and kissed deeply. She knows that the bronze medal at the moment may be mixed, but she prefers to give encouragement to her young teammates.

"My deepest impression of my daughter since she was a child is that she struggles and has the strength to not accept defeat!" Fan Kexin's mother once revealed that when Fan Kexin first learned speed skating, the conditions were not good, and they were all training on the outdoor ice rink, "If other children train 50 laps, Fan Kexin will at least skate to 100 laps, all after others leave the training ground, my daughter left." ”
Almost everyone who has come into contact with Fan Kexin has the same impression - toughness! It is also with this tenacity that Fan Kexin persisted to this day and stepped onto the Olympic podium step by step. Although he has experienced glory and lows, he has never bowed his head and conceded defeat.
