The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics is coming to an end, as the gold medalist of the Chinese Winter Olympic Team, the Chinese short track speed skating team has ended the winter Olympic tour, and it is also the traditional advantage project team of the Chinese team to complete the first competition. In the end, the Chinese short track speed skating team won a total of 2 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze, and the overall performance was equal to that of the previous Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, and the number of gold medals was equal to that of the Sochi Winter Olympics. Before the Winter Olympics, the Chinese short track speed skating team set a goal to strive for 3 gold medals, and from the final result, the mixed team relay and the men's 1000 meters won the gold, and the men's 500 meters and 1500 meters and 5000 meters relay events left regrets. Are you satisfied with the results and performance of the Chinese short track speed skating team at the Beijing Winter Olympics?
In this Winter Olympics, Ren Ziwei became the biggest winner, personally winning two Olympic gold medals, Wu Dajing won the championship in the mixed relay, but in the men's 500 meters, he did not have the opportunity to defend his title, watching The Hungarian team's Liu Shaoang reach the top of the podium. Zhang Yuting, Fan Kexin and Qu Chunyu won their first Winter Olympic gold medal with their excellent performance in the relay event. Li Wenlong, Han Yutong, Zhang Chutong, etc. all had medals in the account, while Sun Long and Zhang Tianyi, who competed in the Olympic Games for the first time, unexpectedly did not receive anything. With the end of the Beijing Winter Olympics, the Chinese short track speed skating team has also ushered in a replacement. Four years later, Milan, Italy, the champion division that the Chinese people have high hopes for, is still facing severe challenges.
It is worth mentioning that Jin Shantai, the head coach of the Chinese short track speed skating team, also posted on his personal social platform after the end of the Winter Olympics, he said that the Olympic games are all over, the disciples are very hard, there are sweat, there are tears, everyone has done their best. The South Korean head coach also said that he hopes that everyone will continue to support the Chinese short track speed skating team. At the Beijing Winter Olympics, Kim Sun-tae and Russian coach An Hyun-so helped the Chinese short track speed skating team win two gold medals. After the Olympic Games, whether the two will continue to coach need further discussions.
Entering the Milan cycle, several veterans of the Chinese short track speed skating team may find it difficult to stick to it for another four years. Veterans Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei, Fan Kexin, etc., the Beijing Winter Olympics are likely to be their last Olympic trip. In the men's 5,000m relay final, due to the accidental slipping of young player Sun Long, Wu Dajing and Ren Ziwei failed to draw a successful end to their Olympic careers with a medal. Although Wu Dajing said on social media that as long as the national team needs it and as long as his body allows, he will always stand on the ice rink.
However, from the current ability and competitive state, Wu Dajing has lost his absolute advantage in short-distance events, and long-distance is his technical shortcoming, and if he wants to fight for another four years, he needs to overcome many difficulties. In this Winter Olympics, the overall strength of the men's team has improved, but once Wu Dajing and Ren Ziwei fade out, who among the young players will pick the beam has become a huge unknown. The comprehensive strength of the women's team has declined significantly, whether it is the advantage of the past 500 meters, or the long-distance and relay events, there is a gap with the South Korean team, the Netherlands team, etc. What do you think about the performance of the Chinese short track speed skating team at this Winter Olympics?
