"Actually... I think it doesn't matter whether Li Yuang can win the championship, as long as the gold medal belongs to the Chinese team!"
"After all, apart from Li Yuang, our Wu Dajing and Lin Xiaojun are both very competitive players."
"Wu Da Jing is still the current world record holder and the Winter Olympics record holder."
Wang Meng said with a smile... She also noticed that the recent trend of public opinion was wrong, and directly pushed Li Yuang to the forefront.
What’s even more bizarre is that the Camilla doping scandal, which had already calmed down, has frequently made headlines in the country in the past two days!
This made Wang Meng have to suspect that someone is deliberately targeting Li Yuang! She just hopes that Li Yuang can stabilize and not cause trouble during the competition! If it gets too big, it will definitely affect the results of the final relay event.
Huang Jianxiang nodded and said: "Yes, there is a lot of chance in competitive sports, especially in short track speed skating. In the past few days, we have seen several world-class players make mistakes and fall on the ice."
"So we don't put too much pressure on the players... There are a total of 9 short track speed skating events in this Winter Olympics. Among the 5 events completed so far, the Chinese short track speed skating team has won 4 of them.
gold medal!"
“This result is outstanding enough!”
"I will cite a set of data and everyone will know how good the Chinese short track speed skating team is in this Winter Olympics!"
"Starting from winning its first gold medal at the 2002 Salt Lake City Winter Olympics, the Chinese team won two gold medals that year; 2 gold medals at the 2006 Turin Winter Olympics; 5 gold medals at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics; and 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics.
Three gold medals in the Games, one gold medal in the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics..."
"Except for the Vancouver Winter Olympics, no Winter Olympics has won more than 4 gold medals!"
"By the way, 4 of the 5 gold medals in the Vancouver Winter Olympics were won by the short track speed skating team!"
"..."
In the live broadcast room, Wang Meng and Huang Jianxiang sang together, and the two of them cooperated to calm down Li Yuang and the entire short track speed skating team!
------------------
The first body, the quarter-finals of the 500 meters is about to begin!
After the players in the first group changed their equipment, they went on the ice to warm up at the referee's signal.
Seeing that Yang Zhan seemed a little nervous, Jin Shantai said, "Don't worry! The quarter-finals are just a warm-up for them. The real competition starts from the semi-finals."
"Well...I'm mainly worried about Li Yuang getting hurt!"
"No! The two players from Kazakhstan and Russia in the same group are relatively clean, so there won't be any accidents."
Yang Zhan nodded and suddenly said to Jin Shantai accurately: "Coach Jin, tell me the truth! Are you sure about the two gold medals today?"
"The men's 500-meter event is still relatively certain...the four teams in Group A of the women's final are too close in strength. It also depends on their on-the-spot performance and the situation on the field."
Yang Zhen did not continue to speak, but just looked at the two people on the rostrum, thinking silently: There should be no problem with the 500 meters. Even if there is an accident on Li Yuang's side, Wu Dajing and Lin Xiaojun will also compete! Can they win an event in the leadership position?
That’s what they said over there!
After thinking about it, Yang Zhan let out a long sigh of relief.
During today's competition, Zhong Wen, the head of the Chinese Olympic delegation, and Director Wang of the Winter Management Center were sitting on the rostrum!
The last time the two came to Shougang to supervise the competition in person was when the Chinese Olympic team won its first gold medal in the mixed relay!
】
Yang Zhan also received the notice just before the game. He really didn't expect these two people to come today!
As usual, the Chinese short track speed skating team is the main force of the Chinese Olympic delegation to win gold, and the head of the delegation will watch the competition on the last competition day of short track speed skating to show their attention!
Just like the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, witness Wu Dajie’s outstanding performance live!
Although the two leaders did not want to disturb the players' preparations for the game, they did not go to the locker room to talk like some ball sports officials did when they arrived at the first team, but went directly to the podium.
However, when the on-site director cuts the scene, he always intentionally or unintentionally allows the two leaders to be on camera. Invisibly, it also puts a lot of pressure on the on-site contestants...
------------------
The men's 500m quarter race went smoothly!
In one group, Lin Xiaojun took the first place by virtue of his track advantage in the opening stage. He led the field and finally advanced to the semi-finals with Li Yuang with a time of 40.335 seconds.
In the second group, Wu Dajing was influenced by the Italian team Sigel, and "only" slipped out of 40 seconds, 528 seconds, beating Sigel's 40 seconds, 644, and advanced to the semi-finals.
In the third group, South Korean team Hwang Dae-heon advanced to the semi-finals with the second-place Russian player Yinfriyev by virtue of his overtake at the last corner.
In the fourth group, Hungarian team Liu Shaoang and Canadian team Du Boins advanced to the semi-finals with first and second place in the group respectively.
"Okay, the quarter-finals of the men's 500-meter race are all over. The top two of the four groups advance directly."
"According to the rules, the two third-place finishers with the fastest scores among the four groups advance to the next round."
"Let's take a look... oh, the third place in the third group, Kazakhstan's Azhgaliev, 40 seconds 643, is already faster than the second place in the second group, Sigel!"
"Liu Shaolin of Hungary, the third place player in the second group, also skated with a time of 40 seconds 694. The two of them beat the third place players of the other two groups to advance to the semi-finals!
"Let us congratulate both of you!"
"Teacher Wang Meng, all three players of the Chinese short track speed skating team have advanced to the semi-finals! No matter how they are grouped, at least two Chinese skaters will be in the same group! Then what kind of grouping do you think is good for the Chinese team?
Most beneficial?"
"The most advantageous grouping is of course Huang Daxian alone, and three Chinese players in a group... But in this way, one player will definitely not be able to advance to the finals."
Across the screen, the audience can feel Wang Meng's dislike of Huang Daxian...
As soon as Wang Meng finished speaking, Huang Jianxiang said: "I remember that in the 1,000-meter semi-finals, Wu Da, Han Tianyu, and Li Yuang were in the same group. Didn't they just advance together? Why can't it be changed to 500 meters?
Already?"
"In that game, Li Yuang was sent to Group A of the finals because of a foul... The short track speed skating event has entered the penultimate competition day. The players are all familiar with the referee's decisions and will not take the initiative to commit fouls under normal circumstances.
!”
"It's almost impossible for three people to advance at the same time like in the 1,000-meter semi-finals."
Huang Jianxiang nodded in agreement, and the grouping situation happened to appear on the broadcast screen.
Men's 500m semi-finals:
One group, the Chinese team Lin Xiaojun, the second Italian team Sigel, the third Canadian team Dubois, the fourth Russian team Yinvliyev, the fifth Kazakhstan team Azhgaliev;
The second group includes Liu Shaoang from the Hungarian team in the first place, Li Yuang from the Chinese team in the second place, Huang Daxian from the Korean team in the third place, Wu Dajing from the Chinese team in the fourth place, and Liu Shaolin from the Hungarian team in the fifth place.
When Wang Meng saw this grouping, she suddenly felt cold: Darling! What kind of grouping is this? Li Yuang and Wu Dajing were assigned to a group, and the Liu brothers of the Hungarian team were also in this group?
Why were the dirty and not-so-clean things put into the group of Li Yuang and Wu Dajing?
