The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics entered the saddest day, and Fan Kexin and Wu Dajing competed in the short track speed skating competition, which had some tearful plots. In the women's 3000m relay final of short track speed skating, Fan Kexin, the "elder of the three dynasties", played well and helped the Chinese team to regain the podium after 12 years. After winning the bronze medal, Fan Kexin kissed the ice surface. On the other side, the defending 500m champion of the Winter Olympics, Wu Dajing, was injured by south Korean athlete Hwang Daehyun's ice knife that was lifted too high in the preliminaries, and was nearly injured in front of him. Wu Dajing did not qualify for the final of Group A, only won the first place in Group B, and the autographed photos he gave me before are also worth cherishing.
In the women's 3000m final, Fan Kexin's bronze medal kissed the ice
Hailed as the "Fast and Furious" on ice, short track speed skating is once again staged in a peak showdown. In the women's 3000m relay final of short track speed skating, the Chinese team needs to play a direct match against the Netherlands and south Korea. In the end, Fan Kexin and his teammates Han Yutong, Qu Chunyu, Zhang Chutong and Zhang Yuting, with a score of 4:03.863, helped the Chinese team win the bronze medal.
It is worth mentioning that this is the Chinese team's re-entry on the podium of the women's 3000m relay Group A final after 12 years. After the game, Fan Kexin, the "elder of the three dynasties" who participated in the Three Winter Olympics, knelt down and kissed the ice surface so that the audience was very moved. This one won the championship in the short track speed skating mixed team relay with Qu Chunyu, Wu Dajing and Ren Ziwei in the early days of the Winter Olympics. Fan Kexin said that he was grateful for this game, thanked his teammates, thanked the ice rink, and thanked the great motherland for being able to hold such a great event.
Without the opportunity to defend the title, the first signed photo of Wu Dajing's B group was treasured
When Wu Dajing crossed the finish line and won the first place in the B group of short track speed skating 500 meters, everyone would give him a thumbs up. Wu Dajing, who participated in the Winter Olympics for the third time, was not easy, and after winning the gold medal in the mixed team competition, he actually had a chance to win a second gold medal. In the final of the short track speed skating 1000 meters, Ren Ziwei won the gold medal, but Wu Dajing has been leading. Originally, Wu Dajing was in first place from the beginning of the race to the fifth lap, but the referee replayed the race because there were blades on the track.
Wu Dajing, whose physical strength was almost depleted, became a "green leaf" when he re-competed, protecting Ren Ziwei to gain more advantages. In the preliminary round of the short track speed skating 500 meters, the defending champion Wu Dajing met South Korea's Huang Daxian. The latter pushed down his opponent at the last moment and slashed the ice knife in front of Wu Dajing. Because of this, Wu Dajing evaded and was overtaken by other opponents and did not qualify for the Group A final. Subsequently, Wu Dajing ranked first in Group B, saying that there was still a relay final in the last game, or do a good job and go all out with his teammates. Because of this, when I pick up Wu Dajing's autographed photo, I will cherish it even more.
As the saying goes: "People have sorrows and joys, and the moon has clouds and sunshine." Chinese players have been training and competing for many years in order to help the motherland get more glory. However, gold medals are often won by a small number of people, and some take 12 years or even longer. Some won gold medals, but after a few years there was a decline in performance. Athletes' peaks and lows will often occur in long careers, or they will remain unchanged. Therefore, whether it is Fan Kexin or Wu Dajing, their history of winning glory for the country needs to be cherished like a signed photo.
