After the competition in Seoul, Li Yuang came to Almaty, Kazakhstan with the Chinese team.
This is the first time that Kazakhstan has hosted the Short Track Speed Skating World Cup. Kazakh athletes are all sharpening their skills and want to show off their skills in front of the local audience.
The game was held at the Yek Athletic Stadium in Almaty, which is an advanced venue built in Kazakhstan last year to host the 28th Winter Universiade.
The Chinese team still focuses on training new players. Except for Li Yuang, all members of the second team are members. Even Li Wenwu did not sign up to participate. What is even more exaggerated is that Li Yan did not participate in this competition with the team, but Wang Meng
Lead the team into battle.
The Chinese team, which is dominated by newcomers, has a poor record. On the first match day of the Almaty Station on December 7, the Chinese team encountered Waterloo and was completely wiped out in the second events of the women's 1000 meters and men's 1500 meters...
In the women's 1,000-meter race, Zhang Chutong, who competed for the first time, was penned in the group stage and had no results; the other two contestants, Chen Tong and Wang Xinran, ranked third in the group stage and missed the next round.
In the second men's 1500m competition, An Kai and Liu Yifan were eliminated from the group and failed to advance; Li Yuang was shoveled off the track by Hungarian player Burjan in the semifinals.
With the last four laps left in the second 1500-meter semi-final, Li Yuang used the "bend plus knife" in the curve to surpass Burjan and South Korea's Park Jin Gun in one fell swoop.
After Li Yuang surpassed Buryan, he kept lifting Park Jinjian... Unexpectedly, Buryan slipped under his feet and took Li Yuang out with him...
Although Buryan behaved like a mistake, Li Yuang clearly remembered that Buryan glanced at himself before falling to the ground, and the look in his eyes was more like aiming!
Li Yuang never dreamed that his first "non-combat attrition" after the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics would not be caused by the Koreans!
On the second day of competition, for the women’s team, Li Jinyu advanced to Group A in both 1500m finals; Li Xuan advanced to 1500m finals A; Xing Ailin advanced to 1500m finals B.
As for the men's team, except for Li Yuang, no one advanced to the finals.
Li Yuang advanced to the meter final A with first and second place respectively. He also led the Chinese team to the final in the mixed relay and men's 5000 meter relay.
After the first two days of competition, Wang Meng's brows furrowed into the character "Chuan". It was the first time in her short track coaching career that she led the team to the World Cup alone, and her results were really disastrous.
Wang Meng knew that the only chance to win gold tomorrow was Li Yuang's two individual events...
December 9th is the final day of the Kazakhstan Short Track Speed Skating World Cup.
"Dear viewers, welcome to the Almaty World Cup Short Track Speed Skating competition. I am your old friend Liu Xingyu, and next to me is the commentator Niu Yinhao."
"Hello everyone, I am Niu Yinhao."
"In the just-concluded mixed relay competition, the mixed relay team composed of Li Jinyu, Li Xuan, Yu Songnan, and Li Yuang lost to the South Korean team and the Canadian team and ranked third. This ended the three consecutive World Cup championships in this event.
"
"Yes, there is nothing we can do about it! It can be seen from the lineup that except for Li Yuang, no one who participated in this project in the first three stops went to Kazakhstan with the team."
"What is being held now is the women's 500m final Group A competition, and no one from the Chinese team has advanced to the finals."
"..."
"What is about to be held now is the men's 500-meter final group A competition. The five players have finished warming up and come to the starting line. Now it is time to change hands and introduce!"
"Together, Li Yuang of the Chinese team, his performance in the semi-finals ranked first among all players!"
"Oh! We saw Li Yuang making a pinching gesture with his right hand after waving hello to everyone as usual!"
"Yes, Li Yuang made this gesture before after winning the second 1500m final in Seoul!"
At the Yeck Athletic Stadium, Huang Daheng from the second lane was immediately shocked after seeing this gesture! He protested to the referee that Li Yuang's behavior was an insult to Korean men.
In South Korea, the antagonism between men and women is often caused by gender issues. In particular, Korean men often insult women with words such as appearance and fungus. In 2015, Megalia, a radical Korean women's movement organization, used the "pinching" gesture to imply that Korean men are short in certain aspects.
came to fight back and created the organization’s logo using the gesture of “holding”.
Since then, the gesture of "napping" has quickly become popular in South Korea...
At the 2021 Tokyo Olympics, Su Bingtian made a "handle" gesture before the game to show his strength and confidence! In that game, he also ran a personal best of 9.83 seconds...
When the referee on duty asked Li Yuang the meaning of this gesture, Li Yuang replied: "This game is in good condition and I am confident that I can win..."
Li Ke, who was far away in Seoul, showed an unscrupulous smile when he saw this gesture...
"Because of Huang Daheng's interruption, there is no pre-game introduction. Let's briefly talk about the players in this game."
"One is Li Yuang, the second is Huang Daheng, the third is Liu Shaoang, the fourth is Kazakhstan's Azhgaliev, and the fifth is Canada's Gillard."
As soon as Liu Xingyu finished naming the players, he heard "Peng!" and the game started!
Li Yuang reacted quickly at the start and took advantage of the track position to be the first to enter the corner!
Liu Shao'ang, who was on the third lane, started and overtook Huang Daheng and entered the corner second...
Just when everyone thought Li Yuang would be in the lead until the end of the game, Huang Daheng started acting like a monster.
When Huang Daheng started running, he took a step in the direction of Li Yuang. He wanted to hit Li Yuang and achieved the purpose of revenge... but he failed to steal the chicken and lost the rice. Li Yuang did not hit him, but was overtaken by Liu Shaoang in the third lane!
Huang Daheng, who was the third person to enter the corner, viciously slowed down as soon as he entered the corner, and collided with the Kazakhstan player Azhgaliev behind him. When he fell to the ground, he grabbed the opponent's arm and pulled him down together...
…
There were boos everywhere!
"The referee calls back for a rematch!"
"We saw Li Yuang, who had already skated a circle and a half, spread his hands and complained to the referee!"
"The referee pointed to the first corner and seemed to be saying that Azhgaliev, who was playing at home, was hit. The audience was dissatisfied and had to rematch!"
"Don't listen to Xingyu's nonsense. The rules of short track speed skating clearly stipulate that if more than two people fall down in the first corner after the start, the referee can declare a rematch depending on the situation."
"Oh, I'm just interested in the atmosphere. The referee could call him back immediately, but he had to wait until Li Yuang had skated for a circle and a half before calling a halt! Compared to other players, Li Yuang is already at a physical disadvantage!"
On the ice rink, Li Yuang knew that the penalty could not be changed. After the referee's explanation, he quickly did a few stretching movements and tapped his tight leg muscles.
In the same situation as Li Yuang, Liu Shaolin from Hungary also skated with Li Yuang for more than one lap, wasting a lot of energy in vain!
