Even the commentator and the cameraman forgot she is one lap ahead of the others.

[@danielhoang289]

They did remember she was a lap ahead and won first place, but they forgot that everyone else didn't finish the race yet and still had 1 lap to go

[@kindafatkindastrong5683]

How do you get to olympic level of sports and you just forget someone took an early lead. My head would explode as a coach. Probably one of the dumbest moments in this sport

[@djjorge87]

It's called instinct so when you get to high level of play in any sport. What you learn is you can use people's instincts against them because you go into autopilot mode. And you're not actually thinking you allow your body to just use its muscle memory to do all its things when they hear the final bell. They completely because it's never happened them in training don't. Even take the time to realize they've been lames. At high levels of any sport intelligence matters more them. Physical attributes cause everyone is nearly on the same level when it comes to physical attributes.

[@NenasGameX]

I think,just my opinion,the others thought that impossible for her to keep that pace until the end and they gonna catch up with her. But then she just leap them 1 lap and follow with their pace instead. And because of that they forgot she already 1 lap ahead of them.

[@jakemccoy]

The other skaters thought she was trying to mess up the pace and then fell off the rink as a sacrifice for her teammate. So, they ignored her. If you look at the camera at eye-level, the skaters cannot really see the whole track at once. They only focus up to the curve in front of them.

[@qwerty6789x]

you can even do that on video games.😂 who would think its impossible on real life specially when rules doesnt forbid it

[@anonymous.0015]

Haha women ☕️

[@LaylaGaming-wk8qu]

She's not losing it when she catch them at the back, how often in a race that you're in the lead and you get to watch your opponents back? love it❤❤❤

[@nl4402]

Bull riding

[@kevinbraun4617]

I know you're supposed to pace yourself, it they're all just out for a little stroll. She deserves to win with how little effort was put in until the last second.

[@jakemccoy]

It may look like a stroll, but it's more like slowly deep squatting 135 lbs for 30 reps.

[@James670]

It looked like China also got silver because the gold medalist's Chinese teammate was the only one to know that the rest of the pack still had another lap to go. While the other skaters stuck out their skates at the finish line, she knew that they actually had one more lap to go.

[@johnwu1091]

😀😀😀🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂

[@charlesel5983]

😂

[@takyiyawsamuel9835]

The smartest move I’ve seen in track. How did they not figure out her plan😮

[@KL-nr3jf]

Women.... ☕️

[@shaylablueangel]

They figured it out, if they saw her, they knew what she was doing. Their job is to follow their race plan, it’s a strategy, the others racers will either go fast like her, or do what they did, and stayed at their own pace. She tried to push, but they didn’t budge, it worked in their favor, but…. It might not happen the next time, they might be ready for that the next time, and actually challenge them.

[@_Gathungu]

The strategy actually won them an easy silver and that is the most interesting thing..😅

[@darrenlee929]

Yup. The other three stop after crossing the line ,only the other Chinese keep going. She won 2nd with no others beside her when crossed the finish line.😂

[@charlesel5983]

😂

[@ZedBeiFeng]

She set the pace not sure why everyone was just watching her get a full lap on them instead of following her.

[@brotherfromanother1971]

1:14 "M'ahhh.... you all watched me" 😂

[@odegbarooluwafemi2941]

She must have been whistling behind them when she caught up 😂😂

[@James670]

Hello, fellow skaters. I'm just here for the experience and I don't care about my final placement. Nothing to see here, carry on.

[@eddyt5682]

She even had a cup of tea as she slowly followed them behind.

[@AheadOfMyTime]

This is why you dont just do as your told. Think for yourself, especially at a professional level. This wasnt even competitive. They kind of played a trick on the sport, almost making a mockery of it. They knew that athletes at this age stick to a script and have little experience going against tradition. Eye opener.

[@flashpeter91]

what a surprising and brilliant strategy 😂love it! 😁

[@sivayamsiva9343]

Excellent performance congratulations 👌

[@pataydead9634]

Yeah, I don't get why they should go slow pace at the start when there's a chance to pass them ahead to take lead. Even car racing at the start going to take lead every second.

[@ryanbrownie4634]

I feel bad for the athlete who thought she had the bronze medal

[@herrpualam5023]

This is anime level plot twist 😂

[@faiq4956]

Fr 🤣

[@francisnguyen6349]

Whoa! The Chinese Short Track Track Skater is fast.

[@scran7346]

Aren't they all Chinese?

[@orrn.5152]

It sure doesn’t look like something that is out of the realm of possibility. Yet all other teams forgot that the Chinese skater was already one lap ahead. Nice move.

[@ericwong7460]

Team China is so smart. And it's a great team work also

[@yorukkizigeziyor]

Very nice 😊👍

[@goldenant9450]

not in a million years would i have thought going fast would be a winning strategy in a race

[@jamesaaronmanarang]

Love it!

[@ardhaniprayoga3724]

Is the best😊❤

[@shannonseanovaa]

wow. did they think she would disqualify herself? how did no one else go after her?

[@wiktork]

funny how they sprint to be first on the line one lap to go 😅

[@abrahamwae]

Luar biasa👍👍👍

[@isoplayers]

Even the cameraman was confused

[@connorstace]

Im both entertained and whelmed.

[@sensualsquelch]

She ate

[@dereknolantan]

Wonder why no one responded to her attack? Easiest win for the Chinese skater 🤩

[@raproduction2013]

Smart

[@jacoblozano1787]

Rule of competion: never underestimate your opponent(except speed skating)

[@T2MARA]

My question is - are the coaches not permitted to yell to their skaters? Surely, they figured out what they were doing.

[@Lexyboogie]

How does this not break the sport completely??

[@lancewood1410]

The rest are probably too ashamed to say ANYTHING hahahaha.

[@ZeroWinRate69]

It's like DeSouza and Rijnhen all over again

[@juancamilotoro]

Alguien que me explique bien porque las otras se confundieron por favor!

[@lucassoh4905]

Vou explicar em português, normalmente eles conservam energia para no final acelerarem e de fato correrem, porém a vencedora decidiu acelerar no começo, estando uma volta adiantada e depois só acompanhar elas, já estando uma volta adiantada. Quando ela terminou, as outras acharam que já havia terminado para elas também, esquecendo que ela estava com uma volta de vantagem.

[@8kisinka8]

@@lucassoh4905vemos isso no vídeo; mas a questão era POR QUE eles não se lembraram que haviam sido ultrapassados :)

[@damz979]

I don’t really watch or follow this sport, but is it supposed to be played like this..? That everybody begin the race by chilling?

[@greatsave7]

In the 1500m short-track, skaters typically don't exert themselves in the first 5 or 6 (of 13) laps, even for the top men skaters.

[@dkechX]

@@greatsave7 Is there any reason they keep the event and don't change it to an 750m one? What's the point of watching them strolling around waiting to get to the midpoint...

[@Mobile_vision]

How did no one notice😂

[@AjaySivaram-by8vl]

Game name is there pics pH chem device name of

[@BangButarXx]

Thi is DRAMA🎉

[@cheesieguy]

My naive question to anyone who has experience - was the gal who won absolutely shattered by the time she lapped everyone?

[@cursedkei66]

She would be tired no doubt, you can see that she never 'sprinted' ever again in the competition. But the general pace was so glacial (relatively speaking) that she could keep up easily. The problem with the save it for the last 2 laps mentality that endurance sports have.

[@user-bg2it5kf9q]

Best comedy...

[@nerdiery]

mas olha já kkk

[@nesruler-dk3nu]

Wait till people think sports requires critical thinking and strategy

[@user-yo5cx2me3r]

Only one smart 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Kat-zj5kd]

haha this is crazy

[@stalincars8258]

That explains athletics nowadays only own bodies not the brains 🧠

[@megcrimson8589]

Is this against the rules in anyway?

[@lancewood1410]

If it was illegal, you think they would give her the GOLD medal? Against who's rule? Your 'unwritten' rule?? LOL.

[@amiigose]

​@@lancewood1410 forget, he dont have brain😂😂

[@SubVet84]

Definitely not. For so many years short track speed skaters have been going slow until the end, since they are sprinters, not usually distance skaters. Knowing this, she sprinted the first couple laps. Remarkably, no other skater wanted to change their strategy and it cost them in the end.

[@sublimeade]

The rule is : go as fast as you can

[@vivette8944]

Suspicious

[@lejace4231]

of what

[@trexy29]

by being the smartest and fastest? You need help.

[@adisonsichampanakhone1070]

The craziest strat? So going faster than everybody else in woman’s sports is a crazy strat?? So confused lol

[@greatsave7]

Going for it on lap 2 and lapping the field is in fact unusual for 1500m short-track, in men's or women's.

[@noahquiles5791]

I’m sorry……. This is the “best in the world”?
