Beijing April 30, China's short track speed skating Olympic champion Wu Dajing once again became the focus of the Internet. It is reported that his first pair of foot shoes and the helmet of "Sun Dasheng, the God of War of China" that accompanied him to the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, appeared in the new era of new youth fearless theme exhibition. This honor sets a precedent for the Chinese short track speed skating team. Many netizens said that as a talent of the Chinese short track speed skating men's team in decades, Wu Dajing has become a national sports idol since winning the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, and his boots and helmet appeared in the May Fourth Youth Theme Exhibition this time, which is enough to reflect his social influence.
At present, Wu Dajing is resting, and he revealed to everyone that he will not participate in the Chinese team this season. Since the new century, the Chinese short track speed skating team has been showing a situation of "yin and yang decline", especially the Chinese short track women's team represented by Dayang Yang, Wang Meng and Zhou Yang, which has built a dynasty belonging to China's short track speed skating. In contrast, the overall performance of the men's team was not satisfactory, but with the emergence of Wu Dajing, this situation was completely broken. At the Sochi Winter Olympics, the famous Han Tianyu won the silver medal in the men's 1500m event for the Chinese team, which is also the best record so far.
At the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, Wu Dajing rode to the top of the men's short track speed skating 500 meters, repelling two South Korean athletes to win the championship. Not only did he win the first Olympic gold medal in his career, but he also helped the Chinese short track speed skating men's team achieve a breakthrough of zero Olympic gold medals. In competitive sports, the winner of the first gold medal will always be remembered by history, and Wu Dajing is one of the lucky ones. After the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, whether it is media reports or outside attention, Wu Dajing is the giant of China's short track speed skating men's team.
Even to some extent, he can absorb gold compared to Olympic champions Wang Meng and Zhou Yang. At the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, Wu Dajing failed to defend his title in the main men's 500 meters event, but won the gold medal in the mixed relay with Ren Ziwei, Fan Kexin, Qu Chunyu and others. Two gold medals may be the final answer to Wu Dajing's career. Earlier, he said in an interview that considering his physical condition and competitive status, he chose to truce for the next two seasons.
Wait until the state is restored, and strive to fight for another Olympic Games. Interestingly, he also made an agreement with his friend Fan Kexin to meet in Milan in 2026, and no one can be absent. On the occasion of May Fourth Youth Day, as the champion of the Winter Olympics, Wu Dajing gladly accepted the invitation to put his first pair of foot shoes and the helmet of "Sun Dasheng, the God of War of China" who fought with him at the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, and displayed them in the Fearless Theme Activity of Youth Day, and strived to bring visual enjoyment and emotional shock to the viewers. Many netizens said that it is rare to see wu Dajing's two "magic weapons", which can be called the collection of Chinese sports!
