"This is the fifth gold medal in short track speed skating at this Winter Olympics, and the Chinese team has won all the previous four competitions without losing a gold medal, so can the Chinese team continue to be brilliant today?" Yu Jun began to understand.
"The women's short track speed skating relay event has always been a pain for our Chinese team, and we have all reached the finals of the previous four Winter Olympics short track speed skating relay events, but we all lost to the same opponent, that is, the South Korean team, so the Korean team has dominated this event for four Winter Olympics." Yang Yang, as the main force back then, hated losing to the South Korean team, which also made her unwilling, how she hoped that the Chinese team could defeat the South Korean team.
"That's right, the South Korean team does have great advantages and strength in this event, so does Yang Yang think we have a good chance of winning the championship?" Of course, Yu Jun was also very unwilling.
"Big, after all, Wang Meng is at the peak of the current Chinese women's team, Zhou Yang has just won the 1500-meter championship, and the other two players are also weak, as long as they don't make mistakes, they can still fight with the Korean team." Yang Yang is still very optimistic about this year's Chinese short track speed skating women's team.
"Well, it's just that I believe that the South Korean team will not be restrained, and the Chinese team is facing a lot of pressure and difficulties." Yu Jun said worriedly.
"The South Korean team will definitely not rest on their laurels, after all, they have dominated this event for many years, and they have not won a gold medal in short track speed skating at this Winter Olympics, and if they lose this gold medal again, the Korean team will not be able to account for the people at home." Yang Yang is more happy to see that the South Korean team cannot explain to the country.
"So what does Yang Yang think the Chinese team needs to do well if they want to get good results?" Yu Jun asked.
"I think the strength of the Chinese team is not weak now, as long as you play well and do a good job of handing over the baton, there should be no big problem." The first few times the Chinese team failed to hit the gold medal was because of a mistake in the handover, so Yang Yang said so.
The South Korean team did feel a little pressure, they were originally aiming to win four or five gold medals, but they didn't expect that they didn't get a single gold medal now, so today's women's 3000m relay competition must be won, otherwise there is really no way to explain.
Today's women's 3000m relay final of the four teams are China, South Korea, Canada and the United States, these four teams are all hard stubble, you must know that in this Winter Olympics, only five countries won medals in short track speed skating, namely China, South Korea, Canada, the United States and Italy, of course, Italy only won a bronze medal, the strength is not good, but the remaining four countries are super strong, so today's game is also a dragon fight.
The Chinese team's tactics were the same as in the semi-finals, with 500m champion Wang Meng taking the lead at the beginning of the race.
"At the beginning of the game, Wang Meng was the first to slide out, oh, the referee blew to stop the game, and Wang Meng ran away." Yu Jun was still very excited when he saw Wang Meng taking the lead, but when he saw that it was Wang Meng who ran away, he was a little worried.
"The strength of the teams is about the same, and it is normal for athletes to be nervous and rush." Yang Yang looked very open.
Everyone returned to the starting line, because someone rushed to run, and the atmosphere became more and more intense.
The second shot was successfully started, Wang Meng still lived up to expectations and grabbed the first place, the Canadian team ranked second, and the South Korean team temporarily ranked third.
Subsequently, the baton handover of the Chinese team was still very smooth, with the second baton Zhou Yang, the third baton Zhang Hui, and the fourth baton Sun Lin all maintaining their leading positions.
Of course, South Korea are not a weak team, they found an opportunity to overtake Canada in one fell swoop and move up to second place.
The defending champions were not to be underestimated, and with 19 laps remaining, South Korea's Lee Eun-sung once again seized the opportunity to overtake Jang Hye from the inside to change the position of China and South Korea.
In the following laps, the Chinese team tried to regain the first position, but did not find a good opportunity, and the positions of several teams did not change.
When there were eight laps left in the race, Wang Meng and Zhou Yang, the two Olympic champions, used a handover to overtake the South Korean team.
However, the South Korean team soon took advantage of Zhang Hui's weakness again to break through the Chinese team's defense, and when she and Sun Lin handed over, they collided with the South Korean team, and Sun Lin was thrown off the track, opening up a large distance from the South Korean team.
"Oops, it's a foul, an absolute foul." Yu Jun shouted very dissatisfied.
"Yes, it was a foul." Yang Yang also saw very clearly that if it weren't for the foul, Sun Lin would not have been opened up so far apart.
"It's a bit far." Yu Jun was very worried.
"It's okay, you can appeal after the game." Yang Yang said very calmly that South Korea did foul, and the Chinese team would definitely state it after the game.
In the last two sticks, although Wang Meng and Zhou Yang tried their best to catch up, they were unable to save the defeat in the end.
The South Korean team finally won a gold medal, and Jeon Jae-mao was very happy to be able to save a little face.
And the players of the Chinese team are all depressed, this gold medal is really unjust, is the Chinese women's team really missing the gold medal?
As Yang Yang said, the Chinese team was very decisive in making a statement, and they believed that the South Korean team had fouled Sun Lin when they overtook Sun Lin.
The referee was also watching the replay to confirm the final result.
In the end, the referee confirmed that the South Korean team did foul, so although the South Korean team completed the game, it was finally judged to have committed a foul and missed the gold medal, the Chinese team won the lost gold medal, and the Canadian team and the United States team won the silver and bronze medals respectively.
The South Korean team members looked confused, what is going on? Aren't we champions? How could it be cancelled?
Especially Jeon Zaimao, he was so happy that he was about to fly, and the smile on his face had not disappeared yet, he received such bad news, how could he live.
No, they have to plead.
"I just said that the South Korean team must have committed a foul, and China's gold medal is well deserved." Yang Yang said excitedly.
"That's right, the Chinese short track speed skating team has not lost a gold medal so far, this is the tenth gold medal of the Chinese team, and the Chinese team also ranks first in the gold medal with ten gold medals." Yu Jun is even more excited, China has finally achieved the first place in the gold medal list in the summer and winter Olympics, and now it seems that the Chinese team may also achieve this achievement in the Winter Olympics, you must know that the Winter Olympics is not the summer Olympics, and if you can win more than ten gold medals, you can definitely rank in the top three.
