On March 14, Beijing time, the World Short Track Speed Skating Championships came to the first day of competition. In the preliminary round of the men's 500 meters, Liu Shaoang, Liu Shaolin and Sun Long represented the Chinese team. In the end, Liu Shaoang and Sun Long played steadily in their respective groups and successfully advanced to the next round with the first place in the group, while Liu Shaolin performed mediocre, finishing only third in the group but still advanced to the next round with a small Q.

Group 2: Liu Shaolin met a strong opponent, and only finished third and was still lucky to advance

The first to appear was Liu Shaolin, and his main opponent in this group was Canada's Tanginu. At the beginning of the race, Liu Shaolin grabbed second place, but after two laps, he was overtaken by the Polish runner and fell to third place because he did not buckle the inside lane. Although he struggled to catch up at the last moment, but the gap in strength was obvious, and he did not have the strength to start again at all, Liu Shaolin finished the game with 40.728, and the third place in the group was successfully advanced with Xiao Q.

Group 7: Sun Long controls the rhythm and finishes first in the group

Sun Long, who has been in good form recently, played in this group, and his opponents did not have too strong players. At the beginning of the game, Sun Long was far ahead, and the Dutch players behind him made a force behind him, constantly chasing Sun Long, but he still maintained his speed in the back, and did not give the opponent a chance to take advantage of it, and the Dutch players made mistakes and fell out of the track in a panic, and Sun Long hit the line in the first place, with a score of 40.522 seconds, which is not fast.

Group 8: Liu Shaoang was the first to advance, and the results were not fast

Liu Shaoang appeared again in the 500m after winning the first place overall in the 1500m 1/4 race. In this group, he is less competitive. At the beginning of the race, Liu Shaoang came to the first place, and the Turkish players behind him chased after him, Liu Shaoang firmly controlled the first place, and in the final stage he firmly watched the inner road, and successfully finished in first place, the final result was 40.778 seconds, which is not very good, and may affect the next round of the course.
