Tonight, in the final of the women's 3000m relay group A at the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chinese team composed of Fan Kexin, Qu Chunyu, Zhang Chutong and Zhang Yuting won the bronze medal.
After 12 years, the Chinese short track speed skating women's relay team once again reached the podium of the Winter Olympics
The short track speed skating women's 3000m relay has always been one of the advantages of the Chinese team, and the gold medal combination of Wang Mao, Zhou Yang, Zhang Hui and Sun Linlin, who took the lead in breaking zero in this event at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, is still talked about today.
Regrettably, at the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, the leading Chinese team made a mistake in the last-minute handover, and the result was overtaken by the South Korean team, crossing the finish line for the second time. What was even more surprising was that the referee believed that Zhou Yang, who had not completed the handover task, slid into the track, affecting the other teams' competitions, and the Chinese team was convicted of fouls and cancelled the results.
4 years later, in Pyeongchang, the Chinese team was still the second to cross the finish line, still judged to have no results for fouls, and the picture of head coach Li Yan complaining with tears at the time was impressive.
These two sad journeys, Fan Kexin has experienced. At the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, she is 28 years old, and like Wu Dajing, she is the oldest player in the Chinese short track speed skating team.
Now, Fan Kexin and his teammates are once again standing in the final of the women's 3000m relay. As the last stick, she struggled to overtake the Canadian team and crossed the finish line for the third time. The girls of the Chinese team fought for a bronze medal. This is also the second time after 12 years that the Chinese team has stood on the podium of the Winter Olympics in this project.
After the game, the scene of Fan Kexin kissing the ice surface made many netizens cry.
