'The game is over, we're already great, we're all in. Zhang Yuting said.
Fan Kexin said that the charm of the short track speed skating project is that it is changing rapidly, and the 5 team members have rushed and fought from the moment they stood in the ice rink, and everyone has played their best level.
This is the second time that China's "Golden Flower" has reached the podium of the winter Olympics in the winter olympics after a gap of 12 years. The women's 3,000m relay was once regarded as one of the dominant events of the Chinese team, and chinese women won the championship at the Vancouver Winter Olympics. But from Sochi to Pyeongchang, the Chinese team was convicted of fouls and cancelled in the final stage.

Two days ago, Schulting just broke the world record in the women's 1,000m short track speed skating at the Capital Gymnasium. In this relay race, she led the team to slide a good time of 4 minutes 03 seconds 409, setting a new Olympic record.
Schulting said after the race that when she crossed the finish line she realized they were Olympic champions and "I'm so proud of these girls, they've done an amazing thing."
At the souvenir ceremony, all the dutch team members also had a special move - sending flying kisses to the sky to commemorate former teammate Ruiwen, who died of a sudden illness in 2020. "We're sad that she wasn't here today." Schulting said, but she believes Ruiwen will be proud of the team.
The silver medal-winning South Korean team finished at 4:03.627. (End)
