The 32-year-old Fontana is getting better and better as she gets older! She made full use of her positional advantage during the handover of the Italian team. She did not speed up immediately after the handover, but deliberately paused!
The handover area was originally quite crowded, and her pause directly affected the acceleration space of Canadian team Jin Buting, and also indirectly suppressed Qu Chunyu's speed increase.
Fontana made a time difference and immediately accelerated after the pause, widening the gap with the second-place Canadian team!
After reacting, Jin Buting, Qu Chunyu and others immediately accelerated and started to catch up!
The charm of short track speed skating lies in the curves. No matter how fast you accelerate in a straight line, you must slow down in the curve! If you choose to speed up the curve, the chance of falling on the ice will also increase exponentially.
Even if you don't hit the ice, it's difficult to control the inside line when exiting the corner!
Every choice you make at a corner carries risks and opportunities!
In the last round of competition, Dutch team Schulting was an example. He turned too fast and made a mistake and fell out...
Fontana, who was first in the queue, did not rush forward, she slowed down when cornering!
This gave other players a chance... After three turns, Jin Buting, Qu Chunyu, and Zuo Feiya finally caught up!
Among the four players in the second stick, Fontana ranks first in strength, but Jin Buting of the Canadian team is not in vain. Among the Canadian four-stick players, her stick is also an advantage!
Seeing the opportunity to catch up with Fang Tana, Jin Buting accelerated before entering the next corner! She turned so fast that when exiting the corner, her body unconsciously leaned outward!
Originally, Qu Chunyu just wanted to follow Jin Buting and leave the hope of surpassing him to the next one!
A large inner space suddenly appeared in front of him. When exiting the corner, Qu Chunyu used two more swords to overtake him!
The gap between Jin Buting is so bad that she needs to be sharpened immediately!
The two are level and competing for speed!
In the Midong live broadcast room, Wang Meng shouted directly: "Qu Chunyu, hold on!"
"Beautiful! Qu Chunyu! She surpassed Jin Buting! The Chinese team came to the second position!"
"Opportunities always come to those who are prepared! Qu Chunyu, she seized the opportunity to surpass Jin Buting in the inner lane!"
"There is still a corner to hand over! The Chinese team's next hit is Li Yuang! He has no opponent in the same position! The Chinese team has great hope to regain the first position!"
At this time, Huang Jianxiang, who had been sitting still, had learned to shut up!
He just wanted to quietly watch "Coach Wang" instructing the Chinese short track speed skating team through the screen... No way, all of Wang Meng's predictions tonight were not accurate!
It only took a few seconds from the time Qu Chunyu overtook Jin Buting to the next corner. When the audience reacted and cheered for Qu Chunyu, the Chinese team came to the handover area in second place.
Italy's three-pointer Cassinelli closed it down immediately after the handover, imagining blocking Li Yuang's acceleration route!
It's a pity that Li Yuang predicted his prediction! At the first moment of the handover, Li Yuang kicked out his right foot diagonally and followed up with his left skate!
"Bang!" "Bang!" Two sounds!
Before Cassinelli could take it in, Li Yuang completed the overtake from his inner channel!
"The Chinese team is in the lead! Li Yuang! Leading for the first time in the whole process!"
"Li Yuang sprints at full speed, don't give them a chance! Don't let them catch fire..."
Due to being too excited, Wang Meng's last words were a little broken. No one in the audience who was watching the live broadcast paid attention. Everyone felt that the cute host was very friendly, because the voices they yelled at home were also broken...
The Chinese team Qu Chunyu and Li Yuang surpassed each other continuously, causing the audience's adrenaline to soar!
From now on, the Chinese team is no longer a chaser! It is a leader!
On the ice, the Canadian team's third stickman Dubois also took the opportunity to surpass Casinelli and move to the second position. Only Liu Shaoang of the Hungarian team was still struggling to catch up because the difference between the first two sticks was too big!
Li Yuang ran wildly in a straight line. When cornering, he did not take risks but chose to slow down and control the route and rhythm!
At this time, Liu Shao'ang had already caught up. Liu Shao'ang, who was always used to accelerating in large circles after exiting the corner, unexpectedly chose the inner lane! He just made two quick cuts and overtook in a straight line! He came to the third position!
In just one lap, the situation on the field changed rapidly! The Italian team fell directly from first to last!
Two and a half laps passed by in the blink of an eye. Under the control of Li Yuang, neither the Canadian team nor the Hungarian team could continue to overtake!
The Chinese team takes the first handover! Wu Da Jing comes on stage!
This group of Wuhan University skated very steadily. Although he did not widen the gap between him and the second place, he firmly controlled the rhythm of the field, especially the route after exiting the corner, which was controlled by him!
Among them, the one who slipped the most was Liu Shaolin, who was stuck behind Du Boyin. He did not use his advantage at all in this stroke. Instead, he was caught up by the Italian team Sigel!
The first round of handover is over and the Chinese team is handing over again!
Fan Kexin used Wu Dajing's reasoning to directly accelerate inward and enter the corner first!
At the same corner, the Hungarian team Pietra cut in ahead of Brunel and entered the corner second!
Coming out of the corner, Fan Kexin gave up the route and directly pedaled off the ice to accelerate!
This stick, Fan Kexin is the strongest!
So what if you give up the route?
She has this confidence and even more strength!
There were only two laps left for Fan Kexin in the whole race, and she sprinted with all her strength without hesitation!
The Chinese team, which was almost caught up during the handover, once again left the team behind them and took the lead!
The gap gradually widened. Brunel, who had just been overtaken by the Hungarian team, wanted to try again. In the straight line area, she directly pedaled on the ice to accelerate in an attempt to overtake Pietra from the narrow inner lane!
Just when Brunel was about to complete the overtake, her right hand hooked with Pietra's left hand that had fallen out!
Under high-speed sprinting, the slight change in the body's center of gravity directly caused both of them to fall outwards!
The Canadian team and the Hungarian team completely lost the chance to compete for the championship!
Italian team Valcepina, who originally had no hope of overtaking this shot, took advantage of it. She slipped in a big circle and bypassed the two people and then started running wildly! She had enough time to catch up with the Chinese team!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In other words, the Italian team has enough time and space to chase the Chinese team!
The Chinese team takes over again, with six laps left in the game!
Amid the cheers from the audience, Qu Chunyu was far ahead!
As strong as Fontana, he can only recover a little for the Italian team!
During the handover, there was still a gap of about three meters between the Chinese team and the Italian team!
There are only four laps left in the game, and Li Yuang takes over!
Casinelli, the Italian team's third-stringer, was no match for him. The original gap was only three meters, but it was directly opened by five to six meters!
Li Yuang flew up so fast that Wang Meng in the Midong live broadcast room started shouting: "Stay steady! Please stay steady!"
This ice rink in the first team is very weird. Teams from the Netherlands, Hungary, Canada, etc. have all fallen here...
There are only two laps left in the race!
The Chinese team takes over! The sprint stick of the Chinese team is captain Wu Dajing! Wu Dajing speeds up instantly, and the gap is widened again!
"Dingling bells..." The last lap!
Just when the audience across the country thought that the gold medal was within reach!
Italian four-stick Siguel started his performance. He slid faster and faster, even when cornering, he did not choose to slow down!
Sigel knew his situation, and he could get a silver medal if he played slowly and steadily! But he risked his life and had a chance to win the gold medal! He bet that Wu Da Jing, playing at home, would definitely focus on stability with a huge lead!
In Midong's live broadcast room, Wang Meng, who was standing to give commentary, rubbed her hands nervously: "Anything can happen in short track speed skating!"
"Dajing! Hold on! Just hold on!"
Just as Wang Meng expected, Wu Dajing chose stability in the last lap! He did not sprint with all his strength like the previous lap but focused on stability!
The 28-year-old Wu Dajing is no longer young. He can clearly feel that his physical recovery is not as good as before! After waiting for one night and playing three times in three hours, his body is close to the limit!
Playing at home is both motivation and pressure!
Seeking stability at this time is a dual choice between experience and physical function!
"Don't worry! Yes, yes!"
"There is no problem with Da Jing!"
On the ice rink, Sigel of the Italian team rushed very hard! When he came out of the last corner, the gap between him and Wu Dajing was only half a body! Although Wu Dajing was in front, Sigel's exit was
Significantly faster!
At the critical moment, Wu Dajing, who was conserving his strength, quickly added two more swords and stretched out his sword to cross the line!
Xigel also added two more swords and then crossed the line with his sword!
The two crossed the finish line almost at the same time!
"No problem!" In the live broadcast room, Wang Meng slammed the table and shouted excitedly: "My eyes are rulers!"
"I'm telling you! I'll definitely win!"
"The first gold medal is born! My eyes are rulers! No need to watch replays..."
"Even if it's just a slight advantage, it's still our victory! Do you understand?"
"You can always trust the Chinese short track speed skating team!"
The cute host seemed to feel that he couldn't get enough excitement alone, and shouted directly to the camera: "Friends in the live broadcast room, please stand up, let's celebrate together!"
"I think I am also a lucky general!"
Huang Jianxiang, who has transformed into a quiet and handsome man, was originally very excited, but after seeing Wang Meng's appearance, all he could think about was "He is not fighting alone, he is not fighting alone!"
The 54-year-old Huang Jianxiang looked at Wang Meng, satisfied that his 38-year-old self was reflected in his mind. He thought to himself: It would be better to ask her to commentate on a World Cup in Italy...
The barrage in the live broadcast room exploded again! Some people congratulated the Chinese team on their first gold medal, some came to listen to Wang Meng’s professional commentary, and some came to listen to stand-up comedy! Most of them were commenting on Wang Meng’s “The person is in the commentary box, but the soul is in the coach”
Seat!"
…
In the first place, Wu Dajing, who crossed the line, was very sure that the Chinese team had won! He did not hesitate at all and immediately pumped his fist and shouted!
Four years! Four years! No one knows what he has experienced in these four years...age, injuries, status, isolation!
All of this was perfectly released in this moment!
Wu Dajing, who is still gliding relying on inertia, is just like the name of his helmet, as if he is invincible in a battle!
No one on the Chinese short track speed skating team waited for the referee's decision. The Chinese team did not have any physical contact in the entire game! Clean!
Everyone knows that the Chinese team won!
BJ Capital Sports Center’s first gold medal is born!
The first Olympic gold medal in the short track speed skating mixed relay was born!
The first gold medal for the Chinese short track speed skating team is born!
The first gold medal of the Chinese delegation was born!
First gold medal, made by the Chinese short track speed skating team!
Li Yuang grabbed the national flag that had been hung on the fence, jumped directly onto the fence, waved the flag and interacted with the audience! It was only then that the audience walked out of the thrilling scene. They shouted excitedly: "Team China
!champion!"
The on-site DJ played "Chinese Style" very appropriately!
The Chinese coaching staff are all hugging each other in celebration! This is a release under heavy pressure, and it is their reward for four years!
After Wu Dajing hugged the coaching staff, he hugged Fan Kexin! The two veterans cherish each other, only they understand each other better!
At Li Yuang's urging, Zhang Yuting and Lin Xiaojun took off their white jackets, revealing the red and black team uniforms underneath. They climbed over the fence and entered the ice rink!
Six Chinese players hugged each other tightly on the field!
We are victorious!
At this moment, neither Zhang Yuting nor Lin Xiaojun are worried about their performance in the semi-finals... They just want to celebrate! Celebrating their first Winter Olympics gold medal!
The Italian team members also applauded the Chinese team. Although they were defeated, they were proud of it! Especially Sigel's sprint with four sticks scared the Chinese audience into a cold sweat.
Many people even said that if there were another championship, it would probably be the Italian team!
How can there be so many "what ifs" in competitive sports?
Sigel knew very well that Wu Dajing sought stability in the last lap because the lead was big enough! If it happened again and the advantage was not that big, Wu Dajing would still have other options!
After a long hug...the six members of the Chinese team held the national flag high and began to circle the field. Zhang Yuting and Lin Xiaojun stood at the front, Qu Chunyu and Li Yuang were in the middle, and at the end were Fan Kexin and Wu Dajing!
First, the results of this game were displayed on the big screen:
First place, Chinese team, 2 minutes, 36 seconds and 348!
Second place, Italian team, 2 minutes, 36 seconds and 364!
Third place, Hungarian team, 900 in 2 minutes and 40 seconds!
Team Canada, pen!
0.016 seconds! The Chinese team only won by a knife's edge!
But who cares? At this moment, only celebration is the eternal theme...
The Chinese team not only won the gold medal in the mixed relay, but also broke the Olympic record of 2 minutes, 36 seconds and 437 seconds set by the Dutch team in the group stage!
Since then, the short track speed skating mixed relay world record and Olympic record have all been marked with the name of the Chinese team!
"The five-star red flag is fluttering in the wind, and the victory song is so loud."
"Singing our dear motherland, we will become prosperous and strong from now on"
"..."
When the six people held the national flag high and walked to the stand where Sun Yuanzhi and the others were standing, the three took the lead in singing "Singing the Motherland"! The DJ on site turned off the music in the venue very appropriately, and only the singing from the audience echoed throughout the capital.
!
At this moment, Sun Yuanzhi's dream came true... As a former short track speed skater, he pinned all his regrets of not being selected as a professional on Li Yuang!
Yang Yucai and Li Ke also realized their dream... They will never forget the day in November 2018, when Li Yuang gave them the purest joy of short track speed skating! Today, they brought their agreement to BJ Shoudi, and Li Yuang once again brought them
Come to the purest joy!
Thousands of Chinese short track speed skaters also realize their dreams!
