In the speed skating women’s collective departure competition held in St. Moritz division on the 16th, Yang Binyu defeated all the strong players to win the championship and took off the first gold medal of the Chinese delegation in this competition.

“Very happy, very happy, unspeakable excitement!” Yang Binyu ran to the coach excitedly after the game and gave him a big hug.

Compared with the excitement of winning the gold medal, the Northeast girl was happier to realize her little wish. “Because I won the bronze medal before, when the national flag was raised, I thought it would be better if the national anthem of China was played at that time, and today this idea came true.”

Yang Binyu won the first place in the semi-final and cooperated with Wang Jingyi, another team-mate who was promoted in the final. Because some players raised the speed too early in the fourth lap to grab points, there was a big gap with the rear. When there were still five laps left, Wang Jingyi rushed ahead according to the tactics arranged by the coach, help the rear speed up and assist Yang Binyu.

In the last lap, Yang Binyu tried his best to beat the opponent and crossed the finish line at 6 minutes 50 seconds 68. The final score was 30 points, ranking first.

“Wang Jingyi brought up the speed first. The big army kept chasing forward and I didn’t rush up until the last circle. At that time, it was quite far from the first place, I didn’t surpass her (second place) until I was still ten meters away.” Yang Binyu was still excited to recall the situation after the game.

After the game, the coach said that there were three plans in total for today’s game, but the overall tactic was to “sacrifice one teammate to protect another teammate”. “I arranged Wang Jingyi to assist her teammates. She also went all out. Yang Binyu himself had this strength and was very clear-headed.”
