On February 14, Beijing time, at the award ceremony after the women's 3000-meter relay final of the short track speed skating at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, the Dutch team that won the championship used a special way to comfort his teammate Fan Ruiwen, who died of illness more than a year ago, which aroused strong concern among netizens.
As can be seen from the photo, four women of the Dutch short track speed skating team will offer flying kisses in the direction of the sky, in this way to mourn Van Ruiwen. Not only that, but the Dutch short track speed skating team's helmet and jersey sleeves are printed with a distinctive pattern, leopard print love, and this is the unique mark of Van Ruiwen. In July 2020, at the age of 27, Van Ruiwen died of an autoimmune disease, and the entire short track speed skating world was filled with sad emotions. At the Beijing Winter Olympics, although the leader of the Dutch women's short track speed skating team, Shultin, had the strength to attack the gold medal in all three individual events, what she valued most was this relay gold medal. Because she and her teammates never forgot Van Ruiwen, but stood on the field with her own mark, as if she was still fighting together.
After winning this relay gold medal, Schulting said in an interview that in the dressing room, it is still full of her imprint, we miss her together, and even someone shed tears, Van-Ruivin has always been in our hearts, we all love her, I believe she will be proud of us, this gold medal has always been her biggest goal. As Shultin put it, Van Ruiwen has been witnessing the growth of the Dutch women's short track speed skating team, from the semi-finals in Sochi, to the semi-finals in Pyeongchang, to the successful gold medal in Beijing, step by step relying on the growth of generations of people to finally achieve their goals and dreams.
