A bit regretful, and exited with a smile, "But we have won"
In the men's 500m short track speed skating preliminaries on February 11, Zhu Dingwen and Wu Dajing ushered in their Beijing Winter Olympics debut in the same group.
Third in the final group, missed the cut.
44 seconds 857, Zhu Dingwen is not satisfied with this result, some regret.
In fact, Zhu Dingwen is not a short-distance player himself. He mainly prepares for the 1000m and 1500m competitions this season, but because he has obtained the Olympic qualification for the 500m competition, he can only conduct special assault training in two months.
Zhu Dingwen said that the entire team is helping him improve his explosiveness, and he is constantly breaking through himself.
"Transcendence" has become a word frequently mentioned by Zhu Dingwen, and it is also his request for himself.
As coach Sun Dandan said, "He has the courage to stand on the Olympic arena and challenge all the world's masters. In fact, he has already won."
Recalling his performance on the field this time, Zhu Dingwen said, "Although I made some mistakes and regrets that I couldn't slide out of the level of my normal training, I felt that this was a perfect ending for my sport. In terms of career, it is a very perfect recognition, and I still end up smiling."

Taking ice as a bridge, getting closer to the mainland
"Brother Zhu, you are a thief, you are rude!"
Before the game, the Hong Kong short track speed skating team's northeastern accent "fancy" cheered up, making netizens laugh and say, "This smell of ballast is so kind!" The northeast dialect has become the "official" of the Hong Kong short track speed skating team language".
Due to the late start of ice and snow sports in Hong Kong and the lack of international standard ice rinks, the professional members of the Hong Kong short track speed skating team need to "go north" for training. Many players have been fluent in Northeastern dialect since childhood.
Zhu Dingwen said that through exchanges between the two places, there are many things that can be learned. He cited himself as an example. If we cannot use some training resources and training conditions in the mainland, our short track speed skating team will not be able to improve its level.
Zhu Dingwen is very grateful for the support of Jilin Province and other mainland sports organizations for Hong Kong sports. With these help and resources, "let us improve our level and stand on the stage of the Olympic Games."
Coach Sun Dandan also hopes that the north and the south will "integrate" in terms of ice and snow resources and training.
"In addition to our three athletes from Hong Kong, several Guangdong athletes participated in the Winter Olympics. This is a good result of the 'Arctic South Exhibition'."
More and more contacts with the mainland have made Zhu Dingwen not only like the Northeastern dialect, but also the food in the Northeast. He said that he likes pot-wrapped meat, sweet potatoes, and also has a special liking for rock candied gourds.

"The children of others"
"Actually, I really didn't expect that I would be so popular."
In the face of his "popularity", Zhu Dingwen said that he only expressed what he wanted to express, and it was the attention and support of audiences in the mainland and Hong Kong that gave him greater confidence.
In fact, professional skating is only one dimension of life for Zhu Dingwen.
He is also a "scholar" who has published papers at the age of 16, won numerous awards, and is proficient in 5 languages.
Zhu Dingwen, who was in junior high school, invented a "rapid cancer detection system" in two years, which shortened the traditional detection and analysis of 60 hours to just 2 minutes to detect the mutant gene, and won the highest honor in Hong Kong for young scientists in one fell swoop. , can be described as a proper "children's family".
After the Winter Olympics, Zhu Dingwen plans to continue to be an athlete, improve his sports level while balancing his studies, and hope to constantly surpass his opponents and himself.
Old Zhu, it's awesome!
The future can be expected!
