Xinhua News Agency, Russia, March 5 (reporter Xu Zheng, Li Linhai) the 29th Winter Games for World University students held a short track speed skating project for men, women, 500 meters and relay project on the 5th. Unexpectedly, among the traditional strengths of the two Chinese teams, the Chinese team did not perform well, and no athletes entered the 500-meter final. Moreover, in relayrace, both Chinese men and women teams failed to advance.
The Chinese short track speed skating team participating in the winter club is headed by Wang Meng, the famous short track speed skating General. Many athletes in this team are from the national speed skating and short track speed skating training team coached by Wang Meng. Among them, Zhong Yuchen, Xu Aili and other athletes achieved good results in the short track speed skating Western elite competition held in Canada in January this year. Ankai also won the championship in the men’s 1500-meter race on the 4th.
However, in the men’s and women’s 500 meters competition on the 5th, the Chinese team players performed poorly. In the women’s 500 m competition, only Yang Yang entered the semi-final, but she failed to surpass the two Russian national team players in the same group, Yev lemonkova and malakic, who were eliminated in the semi-final. In the end, the women’s 500-meter champion was won by French player monwatson, with a score of 43 seconds 919.
In the men’s 500-meter competition, the Chinese team players were eliminated in the elimination match of 16 to 8, ankai, who won the 1500-meter championship on the 4th, accidentally slipped and fell out in the curve sprint and failed to go further. In the end, South Korean players Park Chi Yuan And Lin Yongjin won the championship and runner-up of this project. The host Russian athlete ivilev won the bronze medal.
After folding two rounds in a row, the Chinese team also failed to gain something in the next relay project. In the women’s 3000-meter relay, when the Chinese team can basically guarantee promotion only after the match, there was a problem in the team handover stick, which blocked the forward route of the later Kazakhstan players, the referee was sentenced to a foul and missed the final to be held on the 6th.
In the semi-final of the men’s 5000-meter relay, the Chinese team also made handover mistakes. After the start of the game, the Chinese team had a fierce competition with Russia. However, in the second half of the game, the players made mistakes without interference, which delayed a lot of time. As a result, the Chinese team could only end the group competition with the third place, and also missed the final.
On the 6th, the short track speed skating project of 2019 World University Winter Games will enter the last competition day, which will produce a total of 4 gold medals for men and women with 1000 meters and relay.
