The best part is, the second chinese skatter was well aware of this. When everyone else try to reach out the finish line she continued to skate. By the time others realized and raced back again, she finished second.

For people asking how this could've happened... it's practical to start off slow, then break away closer to the end of the race. They have to do 14 laps. Typically if you start off too strong then you get smoked by the end. This only worked out because she was able to re-join the pack and went back to skating slowly. If any one of the other skaters challenged her fast start, both the Chinese skater and whomever joined her would've had to kept up and an aggressive pace the whole race to win.

Also 14 laps is a lot so it's understandable that they lost count. They aren't focusing on the number of laps left; they're waiting for the announcer to say final lap. Which unfortunately for them...he was only saying to one person 😂.

This was very clever but will probably never happened again. It was a high risk, high reward situation.

The person who reached their foot out to cross the line: “I won!! I won!!!”

Both Chinese skaters: “Nope.”

Her teammate chilled in the back for the entire race and then swiped second place 😂😂😂 that is brilliant 😂😂😂

Sometimes you’re so far ahead everyone thinks you’re behind! Life is like that a lot of times.

For people who don't understand:
The ref blows the whistle signaling theres one more lap based on the last person in line. The people in front were confused and went all out for the last lap. But only one person actually finished. her teammate kept skating and won the race.

You forgot to mention the best part of the strategy which is the fact that on the leaders last lap they ring a bell so the other racers go faster and waste energy during the loop and slow down aftet finishing giving the second Chinese skater the time to go ahead and win 2nd place as well! 😊

It's RACING... you're supposed to RACE. This girl had the right idea...to win

[DiabeteswithDrSarosh]

So now it’s not “slow and steady wins the race” but the “fast and furious wins the race” !

[CalinColdea]

The key part that was omitted is that there is a lap counter that basically skipped one lap from the perspective of the others. This is why they forgot is one more lap. Great tactic!

Her teammate clearly knew what she did. Notice how when the group crossed, what they thought was the finish line she was the only one not to reach her foot out.

"I pretended that I was ahead of you, meaning that you were okay going BACKWARDS meaning that I PASSED YOU. It was a big trick sketch!"
Ahh moment

[AntoineDennison]

By getting so far ahead of the pack that she was behind them psychologically, she became invisible, which robbed them of any sense of urgency. Amazing.

[Urlocalpotatototo]

This was a 1500 meter ( about 13 laps) so the fact that she could go fast for another lap and still keep up is amazing, and because her Chinese teammate knew what she was doing and didn’t stop to finish early, China secured both gold and silver for the womens 1500

[stonytrees]

I like how everyone on the ice is like “is that legal?”

[DirtyBobBojangles]

I dont think I'd forget someone skating out of sight of me and still think I've won

[TrevorHospedales-ox]

Wisdom is always justified by all her Hats off to this brilliant young

[weirdcarpetthing]

That was pretty smart but also pretty risky because if any of them decided to challenge her at that moment, they would’ve had to keep that up for the entire race or until someone backed off
