On January 24, as Li Jinxun, Yang Jingru, Zhang Baihao, and Zhang Xinzhe won the mixed team relay championship in one fell swoop, the short track speed skating event of the 2024 Gangwon Winter Youth Olympic Games came to an end. Four Chinese teenagers worked together to win the 4 Gold 4 silver.
“They were very united and developed cohesion. They dared to fight and fight hard in the face of strong opponents, and implemented the techniques and tactics assigned by the coach very well,” said coach Liu Xiaoliang. On the first competition day of this Winter Youth Olympic Games, young players Yang Jingru and Li Jinxu of the short track speed skating team jointly won the gold and silver medals in the women’s 1500 meters, and Zhang Xinzhe won the silver medal in the men’s 1500 meters. They got off to a good start as representatives of Chinese sports. Build confidence in the team.
Yang Jingru, the first gold medal winner, used the “rabbit tactic” on the field. At the beginning of the game, she skated with all her strength and passed all the players to the first place. At this time, she did not slow down, but continued to slide until she finished all the players on the field. Loop and slide behind the group. “The ‘rabbit tactic’ is very risky, but in the final we have two players as ‘double insurance’.” Liu Xiaoliang explained, “Once someone chases Yang Jingru, Li Jinxu can save his energy for later use.” Yang Jing Ru said after the game: “Because I have good physical strength, the coach asked me to rush first.”
Zhang Xinzhe won a gold medal in the men’s 1,000 meters and two silver medals in the 500 meters and 1,500 meters. He said that when he came to the competition, he wanted to show himself and leave no regrets. Another male player, Zhang Baihao, may have had less luck on the court and missed medals in individual events. However, in the last mixed team competition, Zhang Baihao realized his gold medal dream.
“Everyone attaches great importance to the mixed team relay event. The teammates all hope that Zhang Baihao can win this gold medal, so they unite as one. This gold medal is the result of everyone’s joint efforts.” Liu Xiaoliang said that Zhang Baihao is the captain, not because he is the oldest. It’s because he, like the old team members, can act as a calming needle and never give up when encountering setbacks. “I think my performance was pretty good. All the ideas in my mind came out and I lost my momentum.” Zhang Baihao said after the game.
Three of the four team members came to the Winter Youth Olympics after participating in the “Fourteen Winters” (youth group) competition. “Seamless connection”. The adjustment and joint training time was very short. “Although the time was short, through them With their on-court slogans, pre-match cheers and interactions, you can see the strong cohesion among the four.” Liu Xiaoliang believes that after a competition test, the players will be more likely to enter the game state. Among the four young players, Yang Jingru comes from Qitaihe City, Heilongjiang Province, the “city of Olympic champions” in short track speed skating. Li Jinxu and Zhang Xinzhe are both Shandong players, and Zhang Baihao comes from a club in Shanghai. Liu Xiaoliang believes that the domestic short track speed skating project has shown a lot of blossoming, and the performance of the young players in this competition also demonstrated the depth of training of reserve talents.
The short track speed skating event in the previous three Winter Youth Olympic Games produced a total of 12 gold medals, with the Korean team winning 11. Only Zang Yize of the Chinese team won the women’s 500m gold medal in 2016. The short track speed skating competition of this Winter Youth Olympic Games has 7 gold medals. Four Chinese teenagers worked together to win 4 gold medals and 4 silver medals. Liu Xiaoliang said: “We made the most difficult preparations before the game, and now we have the best results. Six At the Pingchang Winter Olympics two years ago, Wu Dajing won the men’s 500-meter championship at this venue. Today, our young athletes have followed in his footsteps,” Liu Xiaoliang said happily.
