On February 13, Wu Dajing competed in the short track speed skating men's 500 meters, and in the semi-finals he finished third in the group, and could only participate in the B group final, missing the opportunity to defend his title. Later, in the Group B final, Wu Dajing won the first place and finished fifth in the men's 500 meters of the Winter Olympics.
It is a pity that Wu Dajing missed the opportunity to defend his title, it should be known that he had the opportunity to impact the top two in the semifinals, thus reaching the final of Group A, but because Huang Daxian had an obvious knife-raising action in the final stage, Wu Dajing was affected, and he missed the top two with a slight gap of 0.016 seconds, and also missed the opportunity to defend the title of the defending short track speed skating man's 500 meters.
After the game, Wu Dajing was interviewed, he avoided talking about Huang Daxian raising his knife to interfere, said that he still wanted to enjoy the game, and now treat every game as the last game, and then try his best. Wu Dajing said he was sorry for the semi-finals, saying: "I'm sorry, I gave up speed and went to the skating route. The strength of the players who can reach the semi-finals is very close, everyone can compete for the gold medal, and the overall level is improving, and this time the results are not in the past.
There are still opportunities in the semi-finals, and I'm sorry that the Olympics are like this, anything can happen. The single event is over, now prepare for the relay, or do your best, and go all out with your teammates. ”
Until the end, Wu Dajing expressed his regret, he said: "This session is a bit regrettable, but also a regret of his own." ”
Obviously, in his strongest sport, Wu Dajing did not have the opportunity to defend the title, it is a pity, he himself also said that the Olympic Games are like this, anything can happen, although it is not directly said that it is because of the influence of Huang Daxian's knife raising, but in fact, everyone can see that this action of the South Korean athlete affected Wu Dajing.
Next Wu Dajing also has a men's 5000 meters relay, the final time is February 16, the opponents of the Chinese team that have advanced to the final include South Korea, Russia and Austria, Canada and Italy, there is no doubt that the goal of Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei and others is to impact the gold medal, and hope that the Chinese team can have good luck.
