The legend of short track speed skating

Chapter 355: Unfinished business?

The results of the competition have been released, and the Chinese team advanced to the semi-finals as the first in the group.Now everyone is holding a relaxed mind to watch the Korean team fall!
The picture of Park Jang Hyuk knocking himself and falling out was played repeatedly, and the audience at the scene and in front of the TV were all amused... It's really nice to see that he tripped himself!
The camera turned to Cui Guangfu, the head coach of the South Korean team at the time, and his fat face was full of disappointment and pain.

If he had physical contact with another team and then fell, Cui Guangfu could still go to the referee team to touch the porcelain, but here he fell by himself...they didn't even have a chance to appeal!

The Chinese coaching staff next to Cui Guangfu was also in the shot... Jin Shantai's expression management was in place, and the corner of his mouth turned up and then returned to normal immediately, but it was still recorded by the camera.

In stark contrast to Kim Sun-tae is Ahn Hyun-soo next to him. Ahn Hyun-soo doesn't care as much as Kim Sun-tae, and he still doesn't forget to look at Cui Guangbok after laughing...

In the mixed relay semi-final, the Chinese team was divided into the second group, with Hungary, Russia and the United States in the same group!

Jin Shantai hesitated in this game. According to the practice of the Chinese team, this game should send substitute players to let the old players rest.

But in an event of the level of the Winter Olympics, wouldn't it be a bit aggressive to replace two substitute players?

The short-track speed skating team, Kim Sun-tae and others, signed the contracts when Wang Meng was there, and they have been signed until the end of the BJ Winter Olympics!At present, the Winter Management Center has no plans to renew the contract. If the results of this Winter Olympics are good, is there a chance to renew the contract?

These are issues that Kim Sun-tae needs to consider!
Fortunately, there are still two mixed relay group matches, and Kim Sun-tae still has time to think about it.

……

In the live broadcast room of Midong Sports, Wang Meng said: "The Korean team is not giving themselves a chance!"

"Ok?"

"According to the rules, the top two of the three groups in the mixed relay will directly advance to the semi-finals, and then the fastest two No.3s in the three groups will also advance to the semi-finals."

"The South Korean team fell... the other two groups are basically sure that three teams will advance each. As long as you are steady and don't fall on the ice, it will be..."

Huang Jianxiang nodded in agreement, and then the two explained the remaining two mixed relay quarter-finals with a relaxed and happy mood.

Just as Wang Meng expected, No.3 in the second and third groups did not worry when they were behind. In the end, they spent less time than the Korean team and successfully advanced to the semi-finals!

In the semi-finals of the mixed relay, four teams from Canada, Italy, the Netherlands and Kazakhstan competed.

In this group, Canada, the Netherlands, and Italy are close in strength and all have the strength to advance to the finals. The key to the competition depends on who makes fewer mistakes!

Sure enough, at the beginning of the game, the Netherlands, Canada, and Italy directly established the lead, widening the gap with the No.4 Kazakhstan team!The promotion quota will be generated among these three teams!

After the first handover, Schulting of the Dutch team accelerated and directly established the lead... Just when everyone thought that the Dutch team could easily advance to the group, Schulting made a mistake on the court. When it reached the ice, it fell straight out!
This is a mistake comparable to Park Jang Hyuk!
In the end, the Canadian team and the Italian team easily advanced to the final group A, and the Netherlands and Kazakhstan advanced to the final group B.

"Shuerting! How can you make such a low-level mistake... This is not a mistake that a player of her level should make!"

In the live broadcast room, Wang Meng was still expressing regret for Schulting, not waiting for Huang Jianxiang to answer.She said to herself again: "Actually, it's quite normal, the first gold medal in short track speed skating...who doesn't want to fight for it?"

"Schulting started from the women's 500m preliminaries. Within two hours, this is already the third competition in skating. The consecutive competitions are a double test for the spirit and body of the old players, especially the last round of mixed relay. The team is completely relying on Schulting to resist!"

"The Chinese team must pay attention to it. We still have Zhang Yuting and Lin Xiaojun sitting on the bench. We can completely adjust the lineup for the semifinals."

Huang Jianxiang, who had been absent for a long time, quickly interjected: "Mr. Wang Meng, what does the Chinese team mean in the semi-finals?"

"Well...the contestants who participated in the relay semi-finals are also eligible to be on the podium in the end. The Chinese short track speed skating team has always had the tradition of substituting for the semi-finals..."

"The only problem now is how many people to change... If Zhang Yuting and Lin Xiaojun both play, the risk will naturally be greater."

While the two were chatting, the four teams in the second group had already started warming up on the ice... Sure enough, as Wang Meng expected, the Chinese short track speed skating team adjusted their lineup in the semifinals.

Wang Meng glanced at the lineup on the field and said: "Looking at this lineup, Zhang Yuting will replace Fan Kexin on the women's team, and Qu Chunyu should be transferred to the first club; on the men's team, Lin Xiaojun will replace Wu Dajing in the fourth club. replacement."

Due to the better performance in the previous round, the Chinese team ranked first, followed by Hungary, Russia and the United States in the second to fourth ranks!
"Boom!" The game begins!
Qu Chunyu of the Chinese team tried his best to grab the start, but unfortunately, the explosive power of the Hungarian team was obviously better!The two entered the corner almost at the same time. At this time, the Hungarian team was obviously faster and got stuck directly in front of Qu Chunyu!

Qu Chunyu didn't give up. After exiting the corner, he directly added a knife to fight back to the first position!
At the second corner, the Chinese team and the Hungarian team entered the corner at the same time again, and the Hungarian team was once again stuck in front of Qu Chunyu with a slight advantage.

The Hungarian team skated very smartly and deliberately slowed down the speed when cornering. This change of rhythm forced Qu Chunyu behind him to slow down.In the next lap and a half, Qu Chunyu never had a chance to try to overtake.

The Chinese team is handing over as No.2, and it's Zhang Yuting's best time!
Zhang Yuting, who participated in the Winter Olympics for the first time, was not nervous, but a little excited!For the Hungarian player Konya in front of her, she is confident to complete the surpass!

After exiting the first corner, Zhang Yuting found that Konya did not do a good job of protecting the inner road... Zhang Yuting directly increased the knife and prepared to overtake the next corner when entering the next corner!

At this time, the American player ranked fourth has surpassed the Russian player to come to the third place.

Hungarian contestant Konya had been prepared for a long time, and she cut in early to prevent Zhang Yuting's inner lane overtaking!

Zhang Yuting did not give up, she believed in her own judgment, and Konya in front of her definitely had a chance in the inner lane when she came out of the corner!
Sure enough... As Zhang Yuting expected, Konya didn't have the awareness of keeping the inner lane at all when she exited the corner, Zhang Yuting directly added the knife to complete the overtaking in her inner lane!

Zhang Yuting speeds up the inner way to surpass!
As the corner has just come out, the situation on the field is more complicated... In addition to the second clubs of the four teams, the third clubs who are preparing to hand over the next corner are also sliding in the inner circle!
Zhang Yuting, who was about to overtake in the inner lane, seemed to be affected by the players to be handed over. When she was on the same level as Konya, she couldn't increase her speed!
At this moment, after the American player came out of the corner, he pulled the outer lane and surpassed the Chinese team and the Hungarian team in one fell swoop, and came to the first position!
Zhang Yuting, who failed to speed up, was stuck behind Konya again... After only one corner, the Chinese team fell to the third position!
Seeing that he was about to surpass and reach the first place, why did he fall to the third place?
"Come on!" "Team China! Come on!"

The audience began to cheer for the Chinese team!
Li Yuang, who was slippery in the inner circle, didn't look back at that time, he couldn't see what was going on...just judging from Zhang Yuting's speed, it must have been disturbed!

However, Li Yuang didn't care... the second or third handover had little effect on him!

At Zhang Yuting's last corner, she has slowed down and is ready to hand over!Li Yuang also went on stage to wait for the handover...

At this moment, the second player of the Russian team did not know whether he miscalculated the number of laps, or he was skating a little bit... He did not follow the rules and directly pulled the outside lane to overtake!
Now the Russian three-stick players can't be dealt with...I'm already on the field, what will you do now if you don't hand over me?
It's okay for him to be confused, but he got in and out of the way and got between Zhang Yuting and Li Yuang!

The Chinese team was unable to hand over!
Li Yuang, who had been waiting for a long time, was also a little anxious. He didn't know what happened next, so he could only wait!

At this moment, Li Yuang felt two hands on his waist... Li Yuang directly kicked off the ice and rushed up!
The Russian three sticks that failed to complete the handover were inserted directly from the inner circle to the handover area at the exit of the next corner, ready for the handover!
In the Midong live broadcast room, Wang Meng shouted again: "Which country is this? It interfered with our national team! Li Yuang! Don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, you can still chase!"

At this time, the Chinese team has fallen behind a lot!Li Yuang no longer had time to think about why Zhang Yuting didn't push when handing over!
The Chinese team entered the corner fourth, and Li Yuang, who tried his best, directly used "bend and knife" to surpass the Russian team and come to third place when exiting the corner!
Li Yuang did it!When exiting the corner, Li Yuang was level with the Russian team in one sprint!
Just when he was about to overtake, a blue figure flashed out from the inner circle, blocking Li Yuang's body!

This sudden figure caught Li Yuang by surprise, and he subconsciously slowed down to dodge...

Fortunately, Li Yuang is also a person who has seen the big world. He reacted quickly and exerted force with his left foot diagonally. After pulling his whole body half a body to the outside, he added a knife with his right foot to directly overtake the Russian player.

But this Russian player is still pulling outwards!

In an instant, a funny scene appeared on the ice rink!
In the non-handover area, Li Yuang, who was about to overtake when leaving the corner, was "closed" by two Russian players, one inside and one outside!
The red-eyed Li Yuang pushed the two of them away and killed them from the gap!
Even so, Li Yuang's speed was still affected, he could only accelerate again!
"It doesn't matter! This action will not be PEN! The Russian team violated the rules first. Although Li Yuang stretched out his hand to push people, but he mainly wanted to protect his skating route..."

The situation on the court was opened, the No.1 US team Yiqi Juechen was two to three meters away from the Hungarian team, and the No.3 Chinese team was three to four meters away from the Hungarian team!

Faced with such a gap, even Li Yuang has nothing to do, he can only shorten the distance with the Hungarian team as much as possible!
Another handover, the Hungarian team took advantage of the chance of handing over the baton to surpass the US team to the first position in one fell swoop!
In the third handover of the Chinese team, Lin Xiaojun used Li Yuang's push to catch up!

It’s just that the gap between the Chinese team and No.2 is really too big. Although Lin Xiaojun tried his best, he could only shorten the distance...

After two and a half laps, Lin Xiaojun handed over to Qu Chunyu!
In the sound of "Come on!", Qu Chunyu sprinted with all her strength, and she caught up with the No.2 American team in just one lap!It's a pity that Qu Chunyu is at the end of her battle at this time, and she can only rely on her perseverance to cling to the No.2 US team!

Leave the chance of surpassing to the next one!
Handover again!The Chinese team took advantage of the opportunity to pass the baton to complete the surpass!Zhang Yuting came second!

The US team dropped to No.3!

The competition has entered a fever pitch, and the top three teams from Hungary, China, and the United States all have hopes of advancing to Group A of the final!No one will give up the promotion places!
The second bat of the US team is very strong!She did not give up, and copied Zhang Yuting's inner lane after exiting the next corner.Immediately after entering the corner, Zhang Yuting was stuck behind her!

The Chinese team fell to third again!
Coming to the handover area again... Zhang Yuting's mentality seemed to be affected. Her thrust was too strong and Li Yuang couldn't get up to speed immediately!
After Li Yuang quickly adjusted his center of gravity, he began to charge!
It took Li Yuang a lap to catch up to the No.2 Hungarian team, and Li Yuang accelerated in a big circle when he came out of the corner!Prepare to go beyond!

The American team and the Hungarian team, which had been prepared for a long time, also accelerated in a big circle!Li Yuang's advance route was once again blocked by two people!He dared to stretch out his hand in the face of two Russian players just now, but now he dare not, once he stretched out his hand, he would be penned!

After surpassing again to no avail, Li Yuang was powerless and could only pin his hopes on the last stick, Lin Xiaojun!

"Lin Xiaojun! The last shot of the Chinese team! Come on, the Chinese team!"

In the last two laps, Lin Xiaojun pulled the speed to the maximum and was ready to overtake at any time!

"Dinglingling..." The bell rang and there was only one last round left!
At the penultimate corner of the whole game, Lin Xiaojun cut inside ahead of time and copied Liu Shaolin's inside lane!
Just when the audience was about to cheer, Liu Shaolin cut in forcibly and snatched the No.2 position back!
"Lin Xiaojun! Don't foul! Don't foul!"

In the live broadcast room, Wang Meng seemed to realize something and shouted loudly.

Lin Xiaojun's skating style is very clean, facing Liu Shaolin's bulldozer-like cut in, he didn't make a move!But when he was about to bend, someone disrupted his rhythm, Lin Xiaojun's center of gravity was a little unsteady, and he staggered a bit when exiting the bend...

The Chinese team completely lost hope of overtaking!
In the end, the Hungarian team crossed the finish line first, the US team second, and the Chinese team third...

Ps: Xixi: The author is great, Lin Ouba’s first gold medal after naturalization, and the relay gold medal...can you add more?
　In the Winter Olympics, the mixed relay is exciting enough without too much modification!When Xia Yu found out that she won the championship, she seemed to be watching and was still very nervous!
