On February 21, the South Korean team returned home after the winter Olympics, and in the just-concluded Beijing Winter Olympics, the South Korean team won 2 gold medals, 5 silver medals and 2 bronze medals, ranking 14th in the overall ranking, compared with the previous Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, the gap is still very large. Two of these gold medals came from the short track speed skating event, and the overall performance of the Korean team in short track speed skating was better than that of the Chinese team.
The South Korean team also received a warm welcome after returning home, it is worth mentioning that the short track speed skating team has returned home early, this time home is the remaining players, coaches and staff of the South Korean team, many of them appeared in the closing ceremony of the Beijing Winter Olympics, and this time home was also welcomed.
Waving the South Korean team flag was the men's 500m speed skater Che Minkui, who won the silver medal in the event. After returning to China, Che Minkui won the flag of the Korean team, and the Korean media praised: "Che Minkui returned home with the Taiji flag at Incheon Airport, he was only 0.07 seconds less than the gold medalist, the performance was almost no different, better than the gold medal." ”
The Korean media said that Che Minkui's performance is no different from the championship, and it should be known that in the men's 500-meter speed skating event, the champion belongs to Gao Tingyu, who defeated Che Minkui with an advantage of 0.07 seconds and won the only gold medal in Chinese speed skating. At the award ceremony at that time, Che Minkui, who won the silver medal, made a move to clean the podium, which once caused great controversy.
Later, when Gao Tingyu was interviewed, he also angrily rebuked Che Minkui's behavior. Although Che Minkui explained that this was respect for the race and respect for the podium, it was obvious that netizens did not buy it, after all, such behavior was more like dissatisfaction with the result of the game and the referee. It is indeed a pity that such controversial athletes still served as the flag bearer of the closing ceremony and waved the flag of the South Korean team.
The overall performance of the South Korean team in this Winter Olympics was disappointing, not only in the mistakes of the players on the field, fouls, raising the knife towards Wu Dajing, etc., but also many factors on the field that made people feel helpless. For example, complaints, complaining about the poor diet of the Winter Olympics, mocking the ugliness of the licensed goods of the Winter Olympics and not being able to sell, and many "show lower limits" are all scorned.
Therefore, in the closing ceremony, the Korean team's lens is also relatively small, but compared to the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics closing ceremony, the Chinese team has almost 0 shots, and it has done a good job.
