In the recently concluded Beijing Winter Olympics short track speed skating men's 500m 1/4 final and semi-final competition, the Chinese team frequently spread unfavorable news, Sun Long and Ren Ziwei in the 1/4 final upset out, and Wu Dajing, after advancing to the semifinals, did not qualify for the final, the whole army was destroyed. The South Korean team also performed poorly in this competition, and the championship favorite Hwang Dae-hyun was also out of the semi-finals.
I believe that no one can predict that the game will develop into such a plot before the game, and what is more surprising is that South Korean player Huang Daxian "repeated the old skill", when there were two laps of the game, he and The Canadian player Du Bois collided, and the player behind Huang Daxian who lost his balance was Huang Daxian!
In this game, after China's Ren Ziwei and Sun Long were eliminated in the quarterfinals, the pressure on Wu Dajing increased significantly. With three players expected to compete for medals, the pressure was immediately on Wu Dajing. Not only that, in addition to Huang Daxian, who competed with Wu Dajing, there was also Liu Shaoang, a Chinese player from Hungary. In the first shot, Huang Daxian seemed to rush strategically, invisibly adding more psychological burden to other players.
The second shot started, and Wu Dajing fell to the third position. Throughout the process, Wu Dajing never gave up on catching up with the players in front. However, Huang Daxian also has his own strategy.
That's when it comes to the last bend, it starts to accelerate suddenly, to overtake and disrupt the other players. Because that's what he did in the quarter-finals, and he moved from fifth to second.
However, in this game, Huang Daxian "repeated the same technique", but in the process of surpassing Huang Daxian, he had physical contact with Du Bois, who was the second-ranked Canadian player at the time, causing his body to lose its balance.
Perhaps, this is part of Huang Daxian's plan. If you successfully surpass, you can advance to the final, if you lose your balance and collide with other players, then you can at least pull a few championship favorites to accompany you.
However, Huang Daxian has a "knife lifting" action when he loses his balance, which is very dangerous for the athletes behind him. Commentator Wang Meng even said bluntly that this action is very dangerous, not only affecting the athlete's performance, but even affecting the athlete's health and professional life!
Come to think of it, Wu Dajing behind Huang Daxian could not have been unaware of how dangerous his action of raising the sword was. Out of the protection of his own body, Wu Dajing instinctively had a dodge and slow down action.
Although, in the post-match interview, Wu Dajing was very helpless to say that the level of the contestants was very high, and he was also a little weak. However, the impact of Huang Daxian's dangerous move cannot be ignored, because this action made Wu Dajing lose to the Kazakh player who had previously ranked fifth by 0.016 seconds, and in the end, Wu Dajing missed the 500 short track speed skating final and lost the opportunity to defend his title.
Although Huang Daxian did not directly make a direct foul action against Wu Dajing, this bright knife action was more brutal than a direct foul. This is also why when the game is over, Huang Daxian's bright knife action will become the focus of media discussion.
Sure enough, in an interview after the game, Huang Daxian expressed his apologies for his foul. However, he claimed to have done so without complaint or regret. As for why he felt no complaints or regrets, there was no way to know!
