Yangcheng Evening News reporter Su Jing reported: The 2021-2022 short track speed skating World Cup in Nagoya, Japan, ended yesterday, and the Chinese team achieved a breakthrough on the last day of the schedule - Ren Ziwei won the gold medal in the men's 1000 meters.
The Chinese team also won the silver medal in the 2000 m mixed relay and the men's 5000 m relay, and finally finished the race with 1 gold, 3 silver and 2 bronze.
Compared with the previous Beijing station, the Chinese team has made significant progress in individual events, achieving 1 gold, 1 silver and 2 bronze. Ren Ziwei was in excellent form, showing strong personal strength in both the men's 500m and 1000m events, contributing a gold medal and a silver medal.
In the 1000m final yesterday, Ren Ziwei was proactive in the first half, slipped with his back hand, and appeared to be at ease in the grasp of route and speed. Although Hungary's Liu Shaolin completed the overtaking in the back, he soon made a mistake in the corner and fell off the ice. Ren Ziwei maintained the advantage to the end, winning the championship with a time of 1:26.297.

The performance of the Chinese team in the relay event was remarkable. In the men's 5000m relay final, the Chinese team composed of Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei, Sun Long and Li Wenlong met the old rivals Hungary and Canada, Wu Dajing showed a clean and neat surpass, but unfortunately was overtaken by the Canadian team with a slight advantage in the last moment, and won the silver medal in 6 minutes 52 seconds 285.
Next, the Chinese team will play in Debrecen station in Hungary and Dordrecht station in the Netherlands, and strive to compete in all sports of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games.
