In the women's 3000m relay race of short track speed skating at the Winter Olympics, the Netherlands team won the championship, the South Korean team finished second, and the Chinese team won the third place. This is also the first time after 12 years that the Chinese women's team has taken the podium, congratulations to them!
At the beginning of the game, the Dutch team took the lead, they are also the biggest competitors of the Chinese team, the team strength is outstanding, especially Shultin, the strongest woman's short track today, the strength can not be underestimated. Sure enough, their leading position was maintained from the beginning to the end, and the Chinese team once surpassed, but it was quickly overtaken, and the opportunity behind was not seized.
Representing the Chinese team are Fan Kexin, Qu Chunyu, Zhang Chutong and Zhang Yuting. The Chinese team has been in second place for most of the time and is expected to compete with the Netherlands in the final place. But in the last few sticks, there was a sudden problem, it may be that the line was not locked, And Qu Chunyu's stick made the Chinese team surpassed by the Netherlands and Canada one after another, and fell to the fourth place.
In a critical moment, veteran Fan Kexin stepped forward and immediately surpassed Canada and returned to third place. However, due to the lack of final laps, the Chinese team did not get too good a chance to surpass, and the position was maintained to the end, and the Chinese team won the third place.
Although the athletes look a little sorry, they are already very good. At the Sochi Winter Olympics in 14 years and the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics in 18 years, the Chinese team did not get on the podium because of controversial fouls. This time in the home battle, with the support of the Chinese audience, the team members did their best to win a bronze medal, which is worth encouraging!
After the game, several members of the Chinese team hugged together and encouraged each other. Such a result, for them who have worked hard for 4 years, may be somewhat unsatisfactory. But no way, this is the arena, this is competitive sports.
Subsequently, Fan Kexin's action made people cry. Only to see her kneeling on the field, religiously kissing the ice surface, as if greeting it, as if saying goodbye. Fan Kexin, born in 1993, is really a veteran and has participated in three consecutive Olympic Games. She won a gold medal at the Sochi Winter Olympics, leaving a huge regret at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, and this time in Beijing, she has won a gold medal and a bronze medal.
Anyway, let us bless Fan Kexin, and also bless the Chinese short track speed skating team, you are the best!
