Winter Olympics 1+1丨Bai Yansong talks to Yang Yang: Why was the Chinese team sentenced to the short track speed skating men's 5000m relay final?

　　On February 11, the Beijing Winter Olympics ushered in the seventh competition day after the opening, and a total of 7 gold medals were produced.

Short track speed skating is still the focus of today's competition. What other fun moments are there?

What is the "voice" that belongs to today?

What kind of Winter Olympics will Yang Yang, Chairman of the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympic Athletes Committee bring to the appointment of Bai Yang?

　　Three Short Track Speed ​​Skating Events, Three Moods

　　Bai Yansong: I think the three short track speed skating events on the evening of the 11th can be three moods.

The men's 500 meters went well, and there seemed to be nothing more to say, looking forward to the next race.

In the women's 1000m, Yang Yang won the gold medal and Wang Meng won the gold medal, but this time everyone may have thought that they won't get the medal, but they didn't expect to even make it to the semi-finals. What is the problem?

But what really turned everyone from shock to surprise was the men's 5,000-meter relay, because it turned the "accident" into a "story".

After falling down, everyone thought it was over, but then the referee decided to enter the final according to the rules. Everyone would think that the referee is acceptable, but it is not a question of whether the referee can deal with it, but that the rules can be handled reasonably, so in the end everyone's mood is From shock to surprise, it may also become a story of our future memories. If we win this gold medal later, it will be even more of a story.

　　Why was the Chinese team sentenced to the short track speed skating men's 5000m relay final?

　　Yang Yang, Chairman of the Beijing Winter Olympics and Winter Paralympic Athletes Committee: According to the new rules, if two people do not collide deliberately, then when the equipment collides, the position is more forward, then the referee has the authority to judge next round.

We also saw that the skates of Li Wenlong and the Canadian players collided at that time. In the end, Li Wenlong's collision was determined by the referee to be sentenced to the next round. This has happened in the World Cup, and it is not the first time.

　　Yang Yang: China's short track women's team is in the process of changing old and new

　　Bai Yansong: The Chinese team did not make it to the semifinals in the women's 1000m short track speed skating. Is it a problem of strength?

Or play a problem?

　　Yang Yang, chairman of the Beijing Winter Olympics and Paralympic Athletes Committee: I think it has both.

At present, the Chinese short track women's team is in the process of changing old and new, especially in the past two years, because the young players have almost no experience in international competitions due to the epidemic.

In this year's World Cup, I saw that they had already won the relay championship in the first leg, and they were starting to improve gradually, but after all, the Olympic Games still require a lot of experience.

We also saw that the Dutch player Schultin, who finally won the championship, and the Italian star Fontana are both old players. In the 1000-meter race, Chinese players have some shortcomings in terms of ability and experience, but our young players are still Showing an upward trend, but also let us see hope.

Short track speed skating women's 1000 meters, the first is the 1/4 finals. In the past World Cup and World Championships, it usually starts with the preliminaries. Because of the arrangement of the Olympic Games, the preliminaries have been played a few days ago, and it is the 1/4 finals. The requirements for athletes to enter the state immediately are particularly high. Young players may not be well prepared in this regard, so they do not feel so excited when they come up, so this is also the reason why the tactics are not particularly sufficient today.

　　Bai Yansong: Looking forward to Winter Olympic athletes blooming all over the country

　　Bai Yansong: Since we are the host of the Beijing Winter Olympics, we will participate in all events.

There are more than 170 players from 20 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions across the country, which means that the foundation is broadening. For example, the first player to participate in the Winter Olympics in Yunnan used to play long-distance running, and the first player to participate in the Winter Olympics in Guangdong used to play basketball. Yes, they all come from cross-border selection. We are especially looking forward to the accents of athletes from all over the world, which means that the entire Winter Olympics project is blooming all over the country.
