On the evening of February 13, the beijing Winter Olympics short track speed skating women's 3000m relay final was held at the Capital Gymnasium, and the Chinese women's relay team competed with South Korea, the Netherlands and Canada for gold medals. In the end, the Chinese team slipped a time of 4:03.863 and won the bronze medal. The Netherlands broke the Winter Olympic record with a time of 4:03.409 to win the title.
Wu Dajing is still popular "online"
"Wu Dajing is glad that he did not give up on himself", "Wu Dajing said to Ren Ziwei, go!" "Wu Dajing brushed gifts to Wang Meng and was kicked out of the live broadcast room", "Wu Dajing is 28 years old and has the feet of two 50-year-olds"...
During this Winter Olympic Games, the topic of Wu Dajing is full of flying, even if there is a top stream such as Gu Ailing and Yusheng Jiexin, but Wu Dajing, who won the short track speed skating mixed relay championship and won the first gold of the Chinese sports delegation in this Winter Olympics, is still the hottest focus on the ice. Tonight, as the defending champion of the project, Wu Dajing has attracted much attention, and he is also played with Ren Ziwei and Sun Long.
The men's 500m will be contested in three rounds of quarterfinals, semi-finals and finals before the gold medal can be determined. Due to the short distance, the time is only about 40 seconds, the performance of the departure is extremely critical, Ren Ziwei and Sun Long are divided into the first group, Ren Ziwei is in the third lane, and Sun Long is in the fifth lane. However, the two failed to grab a favorable position at the start, and then tried unsuccessfully to seek a chance to surpass, and ultimately missed the semi-finals.
In the second group, Wu Dajing's main opponent is an "old friend", Liu Shaolin from hungary, who is the world number one player in the men's 500 meters this season. Wu Dajing, who started from the innermost road, grabbed the first place, and then steadily suppressed the opponent's half position, sliding out of 40.528 seconds, and successfully advanced to the semi-finals. Liu Shaolin in the same group was only ranked 4th in the group and was directly eliminated.
In the semifinals, Wu Dajing played in the third lane of the second group, and started in the same group as Liu Shaoang and Huang Daxian, and was in the third position after the departure, but the opponent did not give Wu Dajing the opportunity to overtake, and finally he slid out of 40.50 seconds, ranking third in the group, and did not have the opportunity to enter the final of group A. In the final of Group A, Liu Shaoang of the Hungarian team won the championship, and Wu Dajing won the first place in the final of Group B.
"China Golden Flower" grabbed the bronze medal at the last minute
Compared with the men's 500m, the competition for the women's 3000m is more intense, and the South Korean team is the "champion harvester" of this project, they won the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics and the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, and the overall strength of the Dutch team is even above South Korea.
Does the Chinese team have no chance? Of course. Although the Current Chinese team lacks a Wang Meng-style "burst point", it is difficult to take advantage of the individual competition when facing top players such as Cui Minjing and Shu Erting, who are super powerful, but relying on the tactical thinking of "TianJi Horse Racing", the Chinese team still has hope.
Especially after the Chinese men's players missed tonight's gold medal, the heavy responsibility of rushing gold fell on the four girls. Participating in the women's 3000-meter relay final is Fan Kexin, Qu Chunyu, Zhang Yuting, Zhang Chutong, the four golden flowers are each "extraordinary", Fan Kexin's gliding style is fierce, fast, good technology, known as "the second Wang Mao"; Qu Chunyu has strong explosive power; Zhang Yuting is young and full of momentum; Zhang Chutong's strength is 1000 meters, with a strong ability to surpass the back.
In the final, the Chinese team was in second place after the Dutch team for most of the time, and the final stage was left behind by Canada and South Korea, and finally completed the counter-overtaking with the personal strength of Fan Kexin in the last two laps, and finally slid out of 4 minutes 03.863 seconds, winning the bronze medal, sweeping away the haze of the project being judged foul for two consecutive Winter Olympics.
Except for the 1992 Winter Olympics, in the past seven Winter Olympics, the Chinese women's relay team has all advanced to the women's 3000m relay final. In the 1998 and 2002 Winter Olympics, the Chinese team won the silver medal, and in the 2010 Winter Olympics, Wang Meng, Zhou Yang, Zhang Hui and Sun Linlin helped the Chinese team win the gold medal in the event for the first time. However, after the Sochi and Pingchang Winter Olympics, the Chinese team had no results in the project because it was judged to be fouled, and it is worth celebrating to be celebrated for the second time on the podium after 12 years.
