Why is Korean short track speed skating so powerful?

In traditional technology, players have to slow down when passing corners, but unlike traditional technologies, advanced technology does not reduce speed when passing corners. Instead, corners become a way for Koreans to surpass their opponents. an opportunity. Judging from the results of this Winter Olympics, new technologies have completely defeated traditional technologies. In the future, this "Korean Wave" will cause headaches for Chinese athletes. Tong Lixin said that it is precisely because of this technical gap that the gap between the Chinese team and the Korean team is widening. Devil training is the biggest secret to victory. After South Korean athletes won the men's 5,000-meter relay, several athletes lined up and knelt on the ice to kowtow to their coach to thank them. This scene became a very stylish scene at the Winter Olympics that day. Scenery, and this also reflects the Korean team’s traditional concept of inheriting from masters. The coach of the Korean team believes that the biggest secret to the Korean team's victory is not technical leadership, but the usual "devil training". In fact, as early as a few years ago when Chinese women's music suddenly emerged, the Chinese began to learn about the "devil" trained by Koreans from the "devil coach" Kim Chang-baek. Korean short track speed skaters generally only have one month to rest each year, and their daily training time is eight or more hours. Tactical sophistication to an astonishing degree. The Koreans' preparations for the competition before the game are very detailed, even to an astonishing degree. This is evident from the women's 3,000-meter relay. The Koreans have long been eyeing this relay gold medal, so they hid Quan Dahui, who has an outstanding starting ability, in the previous individual events. When starting, Quan Dahui rushed to the front, which was a bit unexpected. The Korean coaches below even noticed the expressions of the Chinese players. They believed that at that time, the Chinese team's psychological defense had been disrupted. And Quan Duohui is also a player with very good adaptability. There is a rule in short track speed skating that if a skater falls before the first turn after starting, the game can be restarted. Quan Dahui found that her position after the start was not very good, so she very smartly chose to fall before the first corner. In this way, all teams had to return to the starting point and try again. The Korean players made reasonable use of the rules to benefit themselves. Got one more chance. According to general rules, each team will place the strongest players in the first and second bars, and the weak players in the last and second to last bars. The South Korean team did not arrange the order of players according to the general rules. Except that South Korea's second team was the strongest Chen Shanyou, and the last team arranged Bian Angel, who has outstanding transcendence ability, allowing her to take advantage of the weak rounds of other teams to surpass . Moreover, the South Korean team began to observe the condition of the ice a few days before the game. After finding that the ice was relatively soft and difficult to slide out of speed, they decided to place Choi Eun-kyung, who has the greatest strength in pushing his teammates from behind, on the third leg. In this way, in the rounds when other teams are at their weakest, the Korean team still has the opportunity to expand its advantage or surpass its previous opponents. The Chinese team was well prepared for the relay race that day, but when it encountered the situation, it seemed a little panicked. The handover of the baton was not very smooth, and the rhythm was completely disrupted by the opponent. They were thinking about competing for the gold medal, and finally a foul occurred. Case. Exploit strengths and avoid weaknesses and use endurance to make up for explosive power. The training of the Korean team places great emphasis on exploiting strengths and avoiding weaknesses. Song Jae-geun, the head coach of the Korean men's team, said that Korean athletes' starting ability is not very good and their explosive power is not strong, which is why South Korea lost two 500-meter gold medals. So they usually focus their training on acceleration in the second half of the race. The training of Korean athletes attaches great importance to endurance training, and they use endurance to make up for their shortcomings in explosive power. This way of utilizing their strengths and avoiding weaknesses allows them to achieve such outstanding results in the middle and long distances. In addition, the South Korean team's dominance in six events is also inseparable from the cooperation between teammates. In short track speed skating competitions, especially in the middle and long distances, the cooperation between teammates is very important. Many times, some teams have to choose to sacrifice one to save one. In the women's 1,000-meter race, Cui Eunjing won at the last minute. , even at the expense of himself, he fouled Yang Yang to create opportunities for teammate Chen Shan. In many competitions, the Korean team's crowd tactics have been very effective. Several Korean players entered the finals and changed from a single operation to a team operation. The advantage in the competition is very obvious, because in short track speed skating competitions , it may not be particularly difficult to surpass one player, but it is very difficult to continuously surpass two or even several Korean players lined up together. Moreover, they have a numerical advantage and can also use tactics to defeat other players. Players apply pressure. At this point, the Chinese team's ideas are very consistent with the Korean team, but there are not many players who can advance to the finals and participate in cooperation.
