Chinese speed skater Wang Meng said she was ready to reap more gold medals after winning the women's short track 500m event at the Winter Olympics Wednesday night. "I am still very excited and feel very nervous. But I should calm down quickly...I still have many races to go," the 20-year-old said after lifting China's first gold in Turin. "I shouldn't think too much about this gold. I need to concentrate on the following races and try to win more medals." Wang's next races are 1,000m (Feb. 18), 1,500m (Feb. 22) and 3,000m relay (Feb. 25). "The 3,000m is especially important to me. I need to get myself ready," she said. China and the South Korea shone in the women's short track in the 2002 Olympics, where the two countries each won two golds. Wang clocked a winning time of 44.345 while Bulgarian Evgenia Radanova, world record holder and 2002 silver medalist, had to settle for a silver again with a time of 44.374 seconds. Canada's Anouk Leblang-Boucher got the bronze in 44.759 with
Wang's teammate Fu Tianyu disqualified for cross tracking. |
