"In the face of South Korea, winning gold is like pulling teeth out of a tiger's mouth." Zhang Jing, head coach of the Chinese short track speed skating team, made the above evaluation of the "strongest" South Korean short track speed skating team that won 6 golds, 4 silvers and 3 bronzes at the 2025 Harbin Asian Winter Games. According to a report by Xinhua News Agency on the 10th, head coach Zhang Jing said frankly: "I expect that the competition with our old rival, the South Korean team, which is excellent in all projects, will be the most difficult." ”

On the 9th, in the women's 3000-meter relay final of short track speed skating at the Asian Winter Games, the Chinese athletes who won the gold medal were cheering.

China's short track speed skating ended the journey of this Asian Winter Games with 2 golds, 2 silvers and 4 bronzes. Head coach Zhang Jing said that the gold medal won in the 3000m women's relay the day before was the most valuable. South Korea's Kim Ji-ri, who was ranked No. 1 at the time, made contact with China's Gong Li on the final lap of the straight track and fell, and China was the first to cross the finish line to win the gold medal.

On the 9th, in the women's 3000-meter relay final of short track speed skating at the Asian Winter Games, Jin Jili fell on the last lap, and Shen Xixi was comforting her.

Coach Zhang Jing said: "The 3000m relay race was not expected to be high, so I decided to participate in the race with confidence. "Just focus on each and do their best. Regarding the "ace duo" of the Korean women's team, Kim Ji-ri and Choi Min-jing, head coach Zhang Jing admitted: "As the best players in Korea, the two have rich experience and strength. But our women also have the speed and stamina. The gap between us and them is gradually narrowing. ”

On the 8th, in the Asian Winter Games short track speed skating mixed 2000m relay final, Chinese star Lin Xiaojun who slipped and fell in the process of maintaining the lead regretted.

Zhang Jing was disappointed in the 2000-meter mixed relay that ended in the gold medal due to Lin Xiaojun's fall, but thought it was a helpless result. With two laps left at the finish line, Jang Jing, who was leading at the time, lost her center of gravity on the curved track and fell down, seeing Park Ji-won take the lead and cross the finish line first, and South Korea won the gold medal. Coach Zhang Jing said regretfully: "The mixed 2000m relay is the event with the greatest possibility of winning the gold medal, but we missed the gold medal because of an unexpected mistake. A lot of people are disappointed. Sports are inherently unpredictable. ”
