“I feel very lucky,” Li said through a translator.
She and one of her coaches cried tears of joy after China joined South Korea as the only countries to win the same short track event four Olympics in a row. The Koreans won the 3,000 relay in 1994, 1998, 2002 and 2006.
“I cried because I was so excited,” Li said. “My coach told me this medal is for Wang Meng as well, so I felt very moved.”
Li’s victory made up for the surprising fall of teammate Fan Kexin in the semifinals. In the semis, Fan didn’t even complete the first lap of the race, catching her left blade(冰刀)as she skated near the front. She crashed on all fours into the crew of workers who maintain the ice between races. They climbed onto the top of the pads to avoid being injured by Fan’s long, sharp blades.
Arianna Fontana of Italy took the silver and Park Seung-hi of South Korea earned the bronze.
