TURIN, Feb. 15(Xinhuanet)—Chinese Wang Meng won the women’s 500m short track speed skating Wednesday night, getting China’s first gold medal in the Turin Winter Olympic Games.
Chinese Wang Meng won the women’s 500m short track speed skating gold medal at the Turin Winter Olympics here on Feb. 15, 2006.
Wang Meng led all the way to clock 44.345 seconds, winning the nation’s third Winter Olympic gold after Yang Yang’s two in 2002. The 20-year-old Wang, who has won four World Cup racesover 500m, proved herself as the most consistent short tracker in the world.
Her victory helped ease China’s pain of losing an expected gold in the women’s 500m long-track speed skating when World Cup leader Wang Manli came second to Russia’s Svetlana Zhurova on Tuesday.
Like China’s Athens Olympic champion Liu Xiang, Wang jumped to the podium(頒獎臺) and waved excitedly to the cheering crowd.
“Not until I jumped onto the podium did I know my name had not yet been announced,” Wang said, laughing. “I was just so excited and anxious to get onto the podium.” Wang, however, admitted she wasn’t satisfied with her performance.
"Actually I was pretty nervous tonight," Wang said. "My run was not very good from the beginning. My coach has been encouraging me all the time, telling me to trust myself. I followed the advice and I made it today."
