  On Wu Dajing's red helmet, there is a golden pattern of the Monkey King Monkey King.

He called his helmet "Sun Dasheng, the Chinese God of War", and took the shape of Sanxingdui and Qinggang to reshape the God of War.

On the evening of February 13, the men's 500-meter short-track speed skating competition at the Beijing Winter Olympics was held. The defending champion and Chinese star Wu Dajing missed the short-track speed skating men's 500-meter group A final.

  The God of War is reshaped, and the Great Sage returns.

On the 13th, although he failed to successfully defend his title in the men's short track speed skating 500m at the Beijing Winter Olympics, he was already a returning god of war.

  On the ice rink with short track speed skating as short as 110 meters, Wu Dajing has gone through three Winter Olympic cycles.

When he first entered the national team, he was only a sparring trainer for the women's team, "almost no one is optimistic"; such as the birth of a new star in the Sochi cycle, he won the 500-meter runner-up and the relay bronze medal in the first Winter Olympics; the Pyeongchang cycle became the "king of sprints", and then He won the Winter Olympics strongly and won the only gold medal for the Chinese team.

  The scenery on the top of the mountain is unique, with infinite scenery, countless attention and infinite pressure.

As China's first men's short track speed skating Olympic champion, he has also become the most anticipated Chinese short track speed skater in the Beijing Winter Olympics cycle.

On February 13, the short track speed skating men's 500-meter semi-final of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics was held at the Capital Gymnasium.

  "Do you have the confidence to win the Winter Olympics at your doorstep?" This may be the most frequently asked sentence of Wu Dajing throughout the Beijing cycle.

In the first three World Cup matches of the Winter Olympics season, Wu Dajing either fouled or was out early, and there were many doubts about his state.

  People tend to overlook that in cruel competitive competitions, one second is at its peak, and the next may be at a trough. Not to mention the short-track speed skating arena is always changing rapidly, not to mention that he is already a three-dynasty veteran with numerous injuries— For example, at the age of 28, he has a pair of feet that have been "polished" by ice skates like a 50-year-old.

  "For more than ten years, I have gone from a nobody to an Olympic champion, from unstable state to seven consecutive men's 500-meter championships, and now in poor form. This journey has been bumpy and uneven, and these experiences have taught me how to face difficulties. "Wu Dajing once said.

  After walking through the path of thorns, the king always returns with such "stubbornness".

In the last World Cup, Wu Dajing won the 500-meter championship.

Coming to the Winter Olympics, he advanced first in the group in the 500-meter preliminaries and the quarter-finals, but he had no choice but to be placed in the "death group" in the semi-finals. He was in the same group as Liu Shaoang and Huang Daxian, and the level of competition was comparable to the final.

  After the gunshot, he was snatched by other runners. He started again and grabbed the third place. In the second half, despite all the acceleration, he still failed to surpass his opponent.

In the Group B final, he was the first to cross the line in 41.157 seconds.

At the moment of leaving, there was applause from the scene, and he raised his hands in greeting.

  "I still want to get a better result." Wu Dajing said regretfully that in his third Winter Olympics, he played every game as the last one.

"I don't know if I'll be competing again, but that's what I think."

  In fact, a few days ago, when he led his team to win the mixed relay gold medal and became the first Chinese male athlete to stand on the top podium in both Winter Olympics, he has already made a history.

As for China's short track speed skating, this god of war leader has never gone away.

  In the mixed relay final, he was the last key player. Tears welled up in his eyes after he crossed the finish line first.

In the award plaza, when he stood on the top podium of the Winter Olympics again, he couldn't help crying again.

"These four years have not been easy, thank myself, thank my teammates, and never give up."

  In the men's 1000m final, when his physical strength declined, he chose to help Ren Ziwei to get stuck, and touched Ren Ziwei's hand to signal him to go first. He said that his goal was to become "the one who gives the players a sense of security".

"I'm happy for him, we worked well together technically and tactically on the field."

In the short track speed skating mixed team relay final that ended on the evening of February 5, the Chinese team consisting of Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei, Fan Kexin and Qu Chunyu took the lead in crossing the finish line, winning the first place for the Chinese sports delegation in this Winter Olympics. gold medals.

  However, Wu Dajing humbly said that he is only a part of China's short track speed skating.

"There is still the last relay final, I will do my best and do my best with my teammates."

  In the men's short track speed skating 500 meters track, he is still the world record and Olympic record holder.

God of War is not defined by a victory or defeat.

Perhaps, because he is the god of war, he can return; because he has never gone far, he can become the god of war.
