GAC Motor gifts model to champion speed skater

Guangzhou-based automotive manufacturer, GAC Motor, presented its star model SUV, the GS8, as a gift to short track speed skater Wu Dajing, winner of China's first and only gold medal at the 2018 Winter Olympics, held in Pyeongchang, South Korea.

Wu, 23, is the first Chinese male competitor to win an Olympic short track gold medal, breaking the world record over 500 meters. He has dominated short track skating since the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia.

Wu's world-record win helped to end China's Winter Olympic campaign on a high note after what had been a disappointing event for the nation. Wu also won the silver medal in the men's 5,000-meter relay on the last day of the short-track competition in Pyeongchang.
