The short track speed skating competition of this Winter Olympics has all ended, and the Chinese team has won 2 gold, 1 silver and 1 bronze, second only to the South Korean team with 2 gold and 3 silver, and tied for second place with the Netherlands. In fact, such results are completely acceptable to us, because compared with the last PyeongChang Winter Olympics, 1 gold and 2 silver results, there is an improvement.
At 0:12 Beijing time on February 17, Kim Sun-tae, the Head Coach of the Chinese Short Track Speed Skating Team, Said Publicly on Social Media: "The game is all over, the athletes are working very hard, there are sweat, there are tears, we really worked hard, thank you athletes." The coaches and staff have worked hard. I hope you will always support our Chinese short track speed skating team! This dynamic also instantly received a large number of fans and sports fans, all praising Kim Sun-tae's professionalism. When Coach Jin Shantai saw the Chinese athletes winning the championship and shouted, we were very touched, and it is the charm of sports that crosses the boundaries of nationality and language.
We really owe a debt of gratitude to Jin Shantai, the gold medal coach, for leading the Chinese short track speed skating team. However, on the evening of the 16th, that is, the last day of short track speed skating, the men's 5000m relay and the women's 1500m events, Kim Sun-tae's employment and tactics did make many people question. First, in the men's 5,000m relay, Sun Long of the Chinese team accidentally fell without any contact from the runners. And Sun Long did not show a strong competitiveness in the previous competition, so why can't you change others, such as Zhang Tianyi, this player is also very good, in the Beijing Winter Olympics selection, he has won the 1500 meters championship.
Then in the women's 1500m final, only Han Yutong of the Chinese team entered the final of Group A, and when the game reached the third lap, Han Yutong quickly broke through the siege and slipped to the front like chicken blood. As you can see from the TV footage, the farthest time is nearly half a circle ahead of the second place, when everyone is looking forward to Han Yutong's success and keeping the victory to the end. However, after Han Yutong led a lap, he suddenly slowed down, and other players overtook it one after another, and finally ranked last among the 7 players in the final of Group A. And Han Yutong's tactics of suddenly breaking out of the siege made Wang Meng, the 4 gold winners of the Winter Olympics, look confused, and really did not know why the coaching team had such a tactical arrangement.
In fact, after we think calmly, we will find a problem, in the short track speed skating event of this Winter Olympic Games, the Chinese team won the two sports championships through its own absolute strength, lacking the domineering spirit of winning the championship with absolute strength like Wang Meng and Zhou Yang. We admit that there is a certain gap in the ability of the current team members compared with Wang Meng and Zhou Yang, but the fact that Sun Long made such a low-level mistake in the Olympic final is enough to show that the coaching team has certain problems in the usual training and employment.
We cannot deny that Kim Sun-tae is an excellent coach, came to China more than 10 years ago, coached in Changchun Province, and later served as the head coach of the Korean short track speed skating team, leading the team to the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, and the Beijing Winter Olympics Kim Shantai became the head coach of the Chinese short track speed skating team, serving as the head coach of different national teams for two consecutive Olympic Games, and both as hosts, there is also a lot of pressure on itself.
It should be known that Jin Shantai can come to the Chinese team to coach, and Wang Meng, as the head of the coaching team of the Chinese short track speed skating team, has made great efforts from it. Wang Hopes That Kim Sun-tae will bring the most advanced technical concept of short-track speed skating to the Chinese team, rather than watching our team members use tactics that no one understands.
