On Feburary 22, 2018, Wu Dajing became the first Chinese man     1     (win) an Olympic short track gold medal,     2     (claim) China’s first gold medal at the Pyeongchang Games. And on November 11, Wu Dajing, 24, set     3     new world record. It took him just 39.505 seconds to finish the men’s 500-meter race at the 2018 Short Track World Cup,     4     took place in Salt Lake City, US.

Shaoang Liu, who competed against Wu at the World Cup,     5     (shake) his head in disbelief after the race. “It’s     6     (true) lucky to have been in a world record race,” Liu said. “The rest of us are all on a certain level but Wu is just, like, ‘up here’.” Indeed, every time Wu skates, he leaves his     7     (competitor) behind within seconds. Wu is untouchable, not only for dominating his sport, but also for his unusual     8     (high) (182 cm, tall for a short tracker).

Wu owes his success     9     his self-discipline. He started to skate at the age of 10. He gets up at 4 a.m. every day to practice. He never     10     (eat) meat or has carbonated (碳酸的) drinks, even though he loves cola very much. Only once has Wu broken his self-made rule—just after his win at the Winter Olympics.
