On February 13, Beijing time, the semi-final of the short track speed skating men's 500 meters ended. South Korea's Hwang Dae-hyun was out of the game for a foul, to which the Korean media uncharacteristically said that he did foul, and this foul was completely unnecessary.
Imaeil's article said that in the men's 500 meters, South Korean athletes just couldn't break through the Europeans and Americans. In the past 28 years, not a single championship has been won. And the closest to the winner of the project, Ahn Hyun-so, but was sent to the Russian team by themselves. This has led to 7 consecutive competitions, and the Korean team and the men's 500 gold medal have not been selected.
Huang Daxian was stunned, he didn't think about it himself, he couldn't even reach the final.
In the 500m race, he was behind from the start. The other South Korean players did not even reach the semi-finals. Eventually, he fouled and collided with his opponent. But even without this foul, he wouldn't have a chance to reach the final. Wu Dajing and Liu Shaoang in this group were obviously faster than him.
Even Stephen, the Canadian player he knocked down, was faster than him.
At the 1994 Winter Olympics, South Korea's Choa Ji-hoon won the gold medal in the men's 500 meters. And this is the last championship of the Korean team in this project.
It is reported that it is Choi Ji-hoon's performance that inspired Ahn Hyun-so, who is only 9 years old, to learn short track speed skating. After that, he became the leader of the Korean team.
However, due to the complicated struggle, Ahn Hyun-so was eventually abandoned by the Korean team. He immediately switched to the Russian team, changed his name to Victor Ann, and achieved unprecedented success at the Sochi Winter Olympics. The Korean team at the time was a little annoyed, but they didn't think about it, this may be the closest they have ever been to the championship in this project.
South Korean media said that the South Korean team could not break through the walls of Europe and the United States to get the 500-meter championship, which was wrong. Because at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, it was Wu Dajing who defeated them.
However, this time, Wu Dajing's strength declined, coupled with his age, and he regrettably did not enter the final.
This project, the Korean team and other teams, in fact, there is a big gap. Because in the last 7 competitions, they have only won two medals. In 2006, Victor Ahn won the bronze medal and Hwang Dae-hyun of Pyeongchang was runner-up.
Korean media once believed that Hwang Dae-hyun was the successor of the South Korean team. But today, this successor is behaving in a very average way. In the 1500 meters he was good at, he won the championship. That was also the only championship for the Korean team this year, and their last event ahead of the other teams.
In the 500m, 1000m and mixed relays, all out did not make it to the final.
Huang Daxian participated in the last competition and fell in both the 1500 meters and 1000 meters, with no results. In the 500-meter race, he trailed Wu Dajing and won the silver medal.
South Korean media admitted that the men's 500 meters competition is the weakness of the South Korean team. In the next competition, they will not only face the challenge of a large number of European players, but also China's naturalized player Lin Xiaojun.
And in the women's game, they also did not perform well. Due to the poorer reserve of the Korean team, after being caught in the foul, they are no longer the "dream team" of the project.
