中新网客户端北京2月5日电(记者 李赫)从2018年2月22日到2022年2月5日，时隔1444天，中国军团再迎冬奥金牌。
对于开幕式后首日便顺利夺金的中国代表团来说，这样的等待并不漫长。
因为4年前在平昌，这份等待经过了13个比赛日，才在短道速滑收官日当天收到回应。
武大靖冲线瞬间。
从中国代表团平昌冬奥“首金”，到中国代表团北京冬奥“首金”，时隔1444天，武大靖再登冬奥最高领奖台。
对于领军出征的武大靖来说，这份坚守并不容易，它意味着超过47个月的孜孜以求。更何况滑向北京冬奥的四年，武大靖的旅程并不平坦。
在2018年平昌冬奥会上以无可撼动的优势夺得男子500米冠军之后，武大靖成为中国短道速滑队的核心。而世界赛场上，他在男子500米短道速滑的冰面上也一度所向披靡。

在同年底进行的卡尔加里和盐湖城世界杯赛中，武大靖不仅在男子500米项目上一骑绝尘，还在一年当中第三次打破世界纪录，风光一时无两。
然而在那之后，武大靖的状态有所波动。进入本赛季，武大靖的稳定性仍令人捏把汗。本赛季短道速滑世界杯，武大靖在北京站决赛中抢跑出局，在日本站未能晋级半决赛，在匈牙利站决赛中被碰倒后仅获第四，直至荷兰收官站才收获赛季个人首冠。
北京冬奥临近，武大靖在“慢热”的状态里与自己较劲，竞争者们却迅速成长。

"Today is mainly to adapt to the ice rink, and the team is very competitive in the relay event. We will go all out to make a sample for the Chinese delegation." Wu Dajing made a firm statement again.
It is this perseverance that accompanied Wu Dajing along the way, from training with the women's team to becoming the Olympic champion, and winning another Olympic gold medal in the position of the Olympic champion.
On February 23, local time, the 2018 PyeongChang Winter Olympics short track speed skating men's 500-meter award ceremony was held at the PyeongChang Olympic Village. Chinese athlete Wu Dajing, who won the gold medal, took the stage to accept the award.

Finally, Wu Dajing and his teammates made the "first gold" of the Chinese delegation no longer need a long wait.
The Beijing Winter Olympics has a long schedule.
