Why was the Korean team completely wiped out at the Beijing Winter Olympics?

I think the reason why the South Korean team has only won one medal so far and was almost wiped out is exactly what Wang Meng said!

For short track speed skating at the Beijing Winter Olympics, gold medals in multiple events have been determined. The Chinese delegation won two gold medals in short track speed skating, showing great strength. For the South Korean team, the performance in this Winter Olympics is definitely very unsatisfactory. In addition to their poor performance, the Korean team has also caused great controversy outside the stadium. So why was the Korean team almost completely wiped out in this Winter Olympics?

Wang Meng gave his own opinion. During the commentary, I mentioned that this Winter Olympics has changed a lot compared to the PyeongChang Winter Olympics four years ago. The first is that the rules have changed. The current rules, especially when overtaking in corners, impose very strict requirements. Especially for the Korean team, they are very good at overtaking in corners. Of course, their overtaking is very controversial, and they often use small tricks to cause damage to their opponents, and even use one-for-one tactics. The rules were changed after the PyeongChang Winter Olympics and are very strict. If you are not careful, you will be called a foul. Therefore, many athletes in the Korean team were sent out for overtaking on corners. So for this rule, the Korean team does not have a good grasp and understanding of the new details.

The second and most important reason is that the short track speed skating venue of the Beijing Winter Olympics has added many high-tech elements. There is a high-speed camera outside the stadium that can reach speeds of up to 90 kilometers per hour. Under the camera, all the small movements of the athletes can be restored. So for the Korean team, high-tech elements restored many of their foul actions. Therefore, their athletes were sent out because of the above two elements. So for the Korean team, the most important thing now is to adjust their mentality. After all, there is a problem with their mentality. If they attribute all the reasons to the organizers and the stadium, they really want to get good results. is very difficult.
