But now, Wu Dajing personally made a promise that he would continue to gallop on the ice rink and continue to fight!
Wu Dajing finally achieved 1 gold in this Winter Olympics, as a comparison, the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics was 1 gold and 1 silver, and the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics was 1 silver and 1 bronze. After the three Winter Olympics, Wu Dajing won a total of 2 gold, 2 silver and 1 bronze, and has been a historical athlete in China's short track speed skating, and the best athlete of the Chinese short track speed skating men's team in the past 8 years.
