On February 16, Beijing time, the winter Olympics short track speed skating project continued, in the final of the men's 5000 meters relay that has ended, the post-00s young player Sun Long made a serious mistake, accidentally fell in the handover baton range, causing the Chinese men's team to fall directly out of the first echelon, the relatively stable Canadian men's team finally won the gold medal with a score of 6 minutes 41 seconds 257, the South Korean men's team was second to the second place with a score of 6 minutes 41 seconds 679, and the Italian men's team won a bronze medal with a score of 6 minutes 43 seconds 431 seconds. The Chinese men's team finished fifth with a time of 6:51.654. Official! The reason for Sun Long's final fall came out, Wu Dajing expressed his position for the first time, and Wang Mengqiang endured anger.
It is understood that due to the naturalization rules formulated by the International Skating Federation, lin Xiaojun, a short-track speed skater, failed to represent the Chinese men's team in this Winter Olympics, coupled with Han Tianyu, who is in the stage of recuperation, under the influence of multiple factors, Sun Long is equivalent to pressing the whistle to get a valuable quota. However, all kinds of indications show that whether it is the on-site mentality or technical strength, Sun Long is still far from the world's top level, as the commentator of this Winter Olympics, Wang Meng, who has reminded Sun Long many times in the live broadcast, hopes that his former disciples can correct their mentality and compete for gold and silver for the Chinese delegation.
But it is very regrettable that the thing that Wang Meng is most worried about has happened, and at the most critical moment of the 5000-meter relay final, Sun Long's stick has a problem. A brief review of this game, in addition to Sun Long, the other 3 participants of the Chinese men's team are Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei and Li Wenlong. Because the road order is not good, it is not conducive to grabbing the start, so the Chinese men's team is in a backward position at the beginning of the game, the South Korean men's team is responsible for leading the skating, behind the Italian men's team and the Canadian men's team.
With the passage of time, Wu Dajing with the rich experience of the competition accumulated before, in the handover link continuously overtaking, to help the Chinese men's team to rise to the third place, just when the majority of Chinese ice fans saw the hope of winning the championship, Sun Long suddenly fell off the sliding track, although Ren Ziwei reacted quickly, trying to take over the stick to catch up, but helpless short track speed skating is a racing project, a small mistake can change the entire game trend, the Chinese men's team finally failed to get the opportunity to climb the 5000 meters of short track speed skating podium at the Winter Olympics.
In the media interview after the game, Sun Long officially announced why he fell, and learned from the words that Sun Long paid most of his attention to his opponent at that time, doing his best to block the inner road route and avoid being overtaken by the opponent behind him. Perhaps because of the overly tense relationship, Sun Long's technical movements were once deformed, and he failed to step on the ice, resulting in eventually losing his balance and falling. As a leader in short track speed skating in China, Wu Dajing witnessed Sun Long's tears after the game and constantly apologized to the other 3 Chinese players.
In this regard, Wu Dajing took the opportunity of the interview to encourage Sun Long for the first time, saying: "This is Sun Long's first trip to the Winter Olympics, we will not blame him, in addition, for himself, this is a good experience." Unlike the previous approach, Wang Meng did not choose to openly question Sun Long in the program today, but forced to endure the anger in his heart. After the unexpected situation on the field, Wang Meng stressed that he could no longer speak unblocked, because once he said too much, there would definitely be a situation where Sun Long was attacked by the Internet.
Although there are not too many complaints in words, when the live broadcast screen is thrown into the guest seat, it can still be clearly seen that Wang Meng's face is full of helplessness. It is worth mentioning that Wang Meng had previously accused Sun Long in the men's short track speed skating 1500 meters of the Winter Olympics, which caused a huge reaction in public opinion, in order to avoid further deterioration of the situation, Wang Meng had to come forward to speak out, hoping that everyone would not continue to attack Sun Long, and this time, even if Wang Meng successfully controlled his emotions, but from the current situation, Sun Long was still pushed to the cusp of public opinion.
