On the evening of February 7, the short track speed skating event of the Beijing Winter Olympics entered the second competition day, deciding the winners of the women's 500 meters and men's 1000 meters. In the previous quarter-finals and semi-finals of the two events, various unexpected situations occurred. The traditional strong team South Korea suffered heavy losses, and the last Pyeongchang Winter Olympic champion Choi Min Jing fell in the quarterfinals, directly missing the qualification, resulting in south Korea's early destruction in the women's 500 meters. In the men's 1000m duel, Park Jang-woo withdrew due to a collision injury, and the defending champions Hwang Dae-hyun and Lee Joon-seok were both cancelled in the semi-finals due to fouls and missed the final. So far, the Korean short track still has no gains in the second match day, not to mention the gold medal, and even the medal is not eligible to compete.
On February 5, the first race day of short track speed skating, the mixed team 2000m relay champion was decided, China and South Korea are the big favorites to win the championship, the result is that the two teams were divided into the same group in the preliminaries, but in the race, the Korean team made a major mistake, and the male team members accidentally fell off the track, which directly led to South Korea withdrawing from the race and leaving early. In the end, the Chinese team composed of Fan Kexin, Qu Chunyu, Zhang Yuting, Wu Dajing and Ren Ziwei went through the tests of the preliminaries, semi-finals and finals, and finally won the gold medal in the first short track speed skating mixed team relay in the history of the Winter Olympics.
After a day off, short track speed skating entered the competition between the women's 500m and the men's 1000m. Relatively speaking, it is all short distance confrontation, so the rhythm and intensity of the whole race are very large, so the situation in the game is continuous. South Korea's Choi Min-jing came from Group 3 of the women's 500m 1/4 final, along with defending champion and five-time Italian Olympic veteran Fang Tana, Russian Olympic Committee prosviel Nova and China's Zhang Yuting. In the game, the players of the Russian Olympic Committee blocked Zhang Yuting and were judged to be fouled, and as a result, Zhang Yuting was sentenced to promotion, while Cui Minjing fell down without being disturbed, and finally only won the fourth place in the group, regrettably out.
In the quarterfinals of the men's 1000m, all three South Korea passed the preliminaries and advanced to the semifinals, but Park Chang-yeon was judged to reach the semifinals because he was fouled by his opponents, but unfortunately, he directly withdrew from the semifinals because of his arm injury in the collision. The defending champion Huang Daxian competed against China's Ren Ziwei and Li Wenlong in the semi-final Group 1 competition. Although Huang Daxian has been leading the skates in the competition and was the first to cross the finish line, in the replay video of the follow-up referee, it was determined that Huang Daxian had the intention of blocking the foul, and was finally convicted of fouling, ren Ziwei and Li Wenlong directly advanced to the final. Another South Korean player, Lee Joon-sui, who appeared in the second group of the semifinals, was also convicted of fouls because he met Hungary's Liu Shaoang and did not get out. At this point, all the players who played in the second matchday of the Korean team did not qualify for the final, and there was no harvest. The South Korean head coach who saw this scene directly looked embarrassed and left the field early.
