As the first men's speed skating gold medal, I hope to give everyone a good start in the future.
This project entered the Olympic Games earlier than the Chinese delegation entered the Olympic Games, so this project belongs to the major sports of track and field. This man is still relatively weak and needs to continue to work hard.
[Explanation] After entering the Beijing Winter Olympics cycle, Gao Tingyu fell into a trough due to the appearance of injuries and the ups and downs of his state.

Everyone will have a low period, and the coach’s encouragement and support are indispensable. Without him (Liu Guangbin), I might retire after 2018, so he has always encouraged and supported me and gave me hope. Only then will I achieve this result.
(Li Yan to the team members) It is more about relaxing mentally, giving each team member a variety of (decompression), because everyone has different personalities, so she will understand them one by one.
[Commentary] Gao Tingyu is a very slow person off the court.
In an interview with Chinese and foreign media that day, he spoke slowly and looked relaxed, which formed a huge contrast with his fast-paced image on the field.

(I) have a very slow personality, mainly lazy, but I like the sense of speed in the sport of skating.
I hope more people like ice and snow, love it and participate in it. As long as you like it and love it, you will put your life in it.
[Commentary] Four years ago in Pyeongchang, Gao Tingyu won the bronze medal in the 500-meter speed skating final, becoming the first Chinese male athlete to win a speed skating medal.
Four years later, the Chinese teenager won the gold medal at the "home door", and also wrote a new chapter for China's ice and snow sports.
