Original title: Fourteenth Winter Short Track Speed Skating Wins Three Golds (Theme)
Sun Long’s goal is not just to win the Winter Games (subtitle)
Beijing Daily Hulunbuir (Reporter Wang Xiaoxiao and Deng Fangjia) Yesterday, the Inner Mongolia Ice Training Center in the Hailar Division produced the first three gold medals in the short track speed skating open category of the 14th National Winter Games. In the men’s and women’s 1500m competitions, Jilin team Sun Long (2:12.116) and Heilongjiang team Zang Yize (2:22.262) won gold medals respectively, and Shandong team (2:42.906) won the mixed 2000m relay. champion. Sun Long won the first men’s individual event championship in this competition, and the championship is not his only goal.
Just half a lap into the men’s 1,500-meter final, Sun Long, who started in the fifth lane, suddenly burst out and rushed out with a powerful force. This is a common lead skating tactic. Usually, when the competition is coming to an end and the lead skater’s physical fitness declines, there will be skaters in the “big group” behind them who will use their strength to overtake. This time, Sun Long always slipped far ahead of the peloton, maintaining a lead of more than half a lap most of the time. In the last lap, Sun Long’s steps were heavy and his speed slowed down significantly, but he still moved forward with all his strength and finally crossed the finish line first.
Last weekend, the fifth leg of this season’s Short Track World Cup was held in Germany. The Chinese team only sent its youth team to compete as its main players were preparing for the fourteenth winter. Sun Long has been paying attention to the competition. “The 1500-meter champion’s time is almost 2 minutes, 11 seconds and 12 seconds, so I want to test my ability to compete for international championships.” Therefore, Sun Long adopted the “lead by one horse” tactic. The purpose is to evaluate his competitiveness in international competitions. “I am very happy to win the championship and show the results of my training.”
When he walked off the field, Sun Long was severely exhausted and even staggered a little. He stumbled and almost fell when passing by the interview area. After the award ceremony, he accepted the interview after taking some time to recover. “At this time, it doesn’t matter whether you are tired or not.” said the 23-year-old Jilin boy. “Since I am in this position and want to represent China in world competitions, I cannot consider whether I am tired or not. This is what I should do. “After the 14th winter, Sun Long will prepare with his teammates for the World Championships in March. “As a Chinese short track athlete, the biggest goal is to achieve ‘rising performance’ in the international arena. This is also the goal of the entire team.” He said.
In the women’s 1,500-meter race, national player Zang Yize of the Heilongjiang team won the championship. “There are no specific tactics, just keep a clear head, don’t make mistakes, and do a good job in every surpass.” As an “old player” who has prepared for two Winter Olympic cycles, 24-year-old Zang Yize said that he hopes to do it step by step in the next two years. Be good to yourself and “perform your training level on the field, or even better.”
In the mixed 2000-meter relay final, the four teams – Jilin team, Shandong team, Heilongjiang team, and Tianjin team all have famous players, and the competition is fierce. There were many collisions during the game, and the Heilongjiang team crossed the finish line first. Fan Kexin, Wang Xinran, Lin Xiaojuan, Ren Ziwei and other team members were very excited. But not long after, the Heilongjiang team was disqualified due to a foul. In the end, Shandong team won the championship, while Jilin team and Tianjin team won silver and bronze medals. This is the first gold medal won by Shandong in the National Winter Games, which is of great significance.
