Failing to make the cut, Zhu Dingwen said "it's a pity", because the first shot was rushed by a player, "then my legs were shaking, and I didn't have the guts to fight with them in the second start."
He said that if he could do it all over again, he would be more daring to fight.
Although the competition of this Winter Olympics is over, Zhu Dingwen said that he has gained a lot.
"Ice and snow sports have a very special charm. I think it's a very good thing to be able to bring the Olympic spirit and the heritage of the Winter Olympics back to Hong Kong." He believes that being able to participate in this Winter Olympics is a victory in itself.
Zhu Dingwen has been training in the mainland all the year round. His coach Sun Dandan is a former Chinese national team player, so Zhu Dingwen has practiced a "big ballast taste" Northeast dialect.
Before the game that day, Wu Dajing also specially said to him to come on.
Zhu Dingwen said that he is particularly grateful to the national team and the Jilin provincial team for their help. "I feel very happy to have their help all the time, otherwise the Hong Kong short track speed skating project cannot be carried out."
He also said that this time he came to Beijing to participate in the Winter Olympics has attracted everyone's attention, for which he is very grateful.
"Thank you very much, especially many mainland friends for following me. I hope you can continue to support our team after the Winter Olympics and pay attention to short track speed skating in Hong Kong!" (End)
