After a long wait, Zhu Dingwen finally stepped on the stage of his dream Olympic Games, although the time was only 44 seconds 857 seconds, but this was enough for the native Hong Kong boys. He realized his Olympic dream and competed with Wu Dajing. Zhu Dingwen said that all this is worth remembering.
No. 188 Zhu Dingwen, he is the male athlete who participated in the short track speed skating 500m preliminary competition, the largest helmet number, and the most conspicuous one. Although he is thin and shorter than the European and American athletes next to him, he may be the strongest among them in terms of his desire for the Winter Olympics. Because he knows how much he has paid for the past 4 years, or even longer, to be able to stand here. Due to the gap in strength, Zhu Dingwen himself knows very well that he may only have this only chance to appear in the Beijing Olympic Games, and after the preliminary round, he is likely to be eliminated, but in order to appear in the Olympic Arena, he has experienced countless trips from the north to Jilin training, and has also suffered serious injuries. After gliding ten million times, Zhu Dingwen waited for the moment when the starting gun sounded.
On the track, preparation, departure, Zhu Dingwen and his coaching team for this moment, paid hard work, can stand with the world's best 29 other athletes on the track of the Beijing Winter Olympics, his excitement overflowed into words, from the beginning of beijing's physical sickness, to gradually adapt to everything here, and then try to train with other teams, Zhu Dingwen is a little bit familiar with the Olympic Games, familiar with this track. In the end, he was finally able to stand here and participate in this 4-year event, making up for his regrets 4 years ago.

In PyeongChang in 2018, he could only regret not being able to participate in the Winter Olympics because of serious injuries, he was 19 years old that year, and now, he is about to turn 23 years old and he has not let the opportunity slip away, he actively prepares for the battle, he bravely moves forward, in order to show the style of Hong Kong athletes in front of the audience of the motherland. "The best athletes come to the Olympics, so it's an honor and a challenge to be able to play alongside them." Zhu Dingwen has said this sentence many times, and this time, he used his successful experience on the stage of the Beijing Winter Olympics to make up for his regret of missing the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics 4 years ago. I believe that zhu Dingwen in the future, as long as he works hard to persevere, he will definitely be better.
