It is a pity that the Chinese team did not win a medal in the closing day of short track speed skating.
The bronze medal in Sochi, the silver medal in Pyeongchang, the doorstep of Beijing, will the Chinese team continue to upgrade to gold medal with such a step? Although the team composed of Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei, Sun Long and Li Wenlong did their best in the men's 5,000 meters final on the evening of February 16, the Chinese team finally only ranked fifth due to Sun Long accidentally falling during the competition, and the championship was won by Canada.
The short track speed skating event of the Beijing Winter Olympics has come to an end, and tonight's two finals, the first is the men's 5,000m relay. In this project, the Chinese team has successfully reached the podium in the past two Winter Olympic Games, but in the Beijing Winter Olympic cycle, especially this season, only one runner-up in Japan, the other three stations are not ideal.
The Chinese team has already been thrilled in the previous semi-finals - the Chinese team, which has always been in the advantage, collided with the Canadian player after Li Wenlong's ice knife and the Canadian player after the game, and although he tried his best to hand over after he fell, the Chinese team was still at the bottom of the group. But because it was an unexpected kick, the Chinese team was finally sentenced to today's final.
So tonight's final has five teams competing together, which is bound to be a scuffle. Among them, the Canadian team, which won two world cups in four World Cups this season, is the strongest overall, and in the history of the previous Winter Olympics, Canada has won six gold medals in the men's relay.
Old rivals South Korea and European powerhouses The Netherlands have each won one championship this season, Russia is the winner of the Sochi Winter Olympics, and Italy has finished on the runner-up podium in Salt Lake City two decades ago, but defending champions Hungary failed to qualify for the final, but the Chinese team has one less strong opponent.
The final lineup of the Chinese team is still composed of Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei, Li Wenlong and Sun Long, of which Wu Dajing, the elder of the three dynasties, has participated in the Winter Olympics for the third time, while Ren Ziwei is the second time, and Li Wenlong and Sun Long are both Olympic recruits.
The Chinese team from the outermost road has been patiently at the end of the five teams at the beginning, rising to the fourth place when there are still 28 laps left, and rising to the third place when there are 16 laps left, but in the 11th lap left, Sun Long fell off the track without any collision, although he got up and chased with all his strength but it was difficult to make up for the gap that fell, the Chinese team finally regrettably ended the race in fifth place, and did not have the opportunity to climb the podium of the men's 5000 meters relay for three consecutive years. Canada, South Korea and Italy won the first and second places respectively.
In the women's 1500m Group A final, which was held later, Han Yutong sprinted hard in the opening stage, and his physical fitness declined at the back end, and finally won the seventh place in the final.
