On February 13, in the women's 3000m relay race of short track speed skating, the Chinese team won the bronze medal. Do you know? In the relay team of the Chinese delegation at this Winter Olympics, there are "two golden flowers" from our Jilin, they are Han Yutong and Zhang Chutong, it can be said that in the whole competition, the performance of our Jilin "double tong" is remarkable, worthy of praise!
Han Yutong, who has the strength to not accept defeat
Born in Jilin Province in 1994, Han Yutong began to receive systematic professional training at the age of 11, but her outstanding personal physical fitness and ability made her quickly stand out in the domestic arena. In the spring of 2012, the door of the national team was open to her, and since this selection, Han Yutong has always allowed himself to occupy a place in the team.
The 2012-13 short track speed skating World Cup was Han Yutong's international debut, and although her performance in Calgary and Montreal was mediocre, Han Yutong benefited greatly through the duel with the master, which also made her perform eye-catching at the subsequent 2013 World Youth Championships, and she was skilled in the women's 500m final, helping the Chinese women's team regain the World Youth Championship after a gap of five years.
After the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, with the retirement of the main players, Han Yutong gradually began to take on the responsibility of participating in the World Series. At the 2014 World Championships, Han Yutong, who participated in the event for the first time, cooperated with his teammates Fan Kexin, Liu Qiuhong and Kong Xue to win the women's 3000m relay and crown the title of world champion.
In the subsequent 2014-15 season, Han Yutong adjusted his competitive state to the best, that year's World Cup Shanghai, she won her first World Cup gold medal in the women's 1500m final, Anday Korea's Seoul, a week later, Han Yutong picked out St. Gles, Christie and other famous players in the 1000m final to win the championship again, becoming a veritable fierce player of the Chinese women's team in the middle and long distance.
Unfortunately, just when Han Yutong was in good shape, the injury was unexpected, as the top player in the women's team's special ability, the large-intensity training made her waist suffer a back injury in the 2015-16 season, which seriously affected Han Yutong's training progress, and eventually led to her missing the international competition for nearly two years.
However, Han Yutong has always had a momentum of not accepting defeat, and in 2015, after his comeback, Han Yutong won the women's 500m championship in short track speed skating at the 27th Winter Universiade. In 2019, Han Yutong cooperated with his teammates to win the women's 3000m relay championship of the Short Track Speed Skating World Cup in the United States.
In this Winter Olympics, also in the semifinals of the women's 3000-meter relay, Han Yutong played steadily and made his own "contribution" to the Chinese team to advance to the final.
Zhang Chutong, who debuted at the Winter Olympics
Zhang Chutong, who was born on February 17, 2003, is about to celebrate his 19th birthday at the Winter Olympics. Zhang Chutong, from Jilin City, began short track speed skating training in the second grade of primary school, and Jing Hongjun of the Changyi District Youth Amateur Sports School in Jilin City was her enlightenment coach. For an athlete, enlightenment coaching has special significance. In the eyes of Jing Hongjun, Zhang Chutong is definitely a "good seedling". Jing Hongjun still remembers: "Once in physical education class, I observed that Chu Tong, a child, had very good running ability, bouncing and reflexes, was very talented, and was a good seedling, so I made up my mind to cultivate her at that time. ”
In fact, Zhang Chutong did not disappoint the Jing Red Army, and since then, Zhang Chutong has frequently appeared in national competitions, and she has won the national junior women's 500 meters and 1000 meters championships for three consecutive years. Since 2018, she has been selected for the national team through the U series of competitions created by the Chinese Skating Association, and has fought continuously in the elite league, and compared with Qu Chunyu and Zang Yize, the big sisters of the national team, she has not fallen behind. His technical style and style have been recognized by the coaching team of the national team.
In the internal selection of the Chinese short track speed skating team in this Winter Olympics, Zhang Chutong won the women's 1000 meters championship, thus qualifying for the Winter Olympics.
After the start of this Winter Olympics, many Jilin ice and snow fans who care about Zhang Chutong have been looking forward to Zhang Chutong's appearance. In the women's 1000m group stage of short track speed skating, Zhang Chutong won the third place in the group, and the third place in the group with the best result was qualified. In the quarter-finals, Zhang Chutong's performance was average, and he did not qualify for the semi-finals. After the game, Zhang Chutong, who is "good at summarizing", said, "There are many contents to be summarized in the game, and the next game will be harder." In fact, the young Zhang Chutong does have the characteristics of a "big scene" athlete, and in the women's 3000m relay final of the Winter Olympics, Zhang Chutong did not shy away from the stage and played quite perfectly.
In fact, for Zhang Chutong's future, many Chinese short track speed skating predecessors are very optimistic, and the leader of the Chinese short track speed skating team has also said unabashedly, "We are indeed training her towards the goal of cultivating Olympic champions." ”
