Wang Meng diplomatic on fallout with teamBy Coldness Kwan (Chinadaily.com.cn)Updated: 2007-01-31 16:04 China's Olympic gold winner and top short track speed skater Wang Meng finally smiled after tasting a sweet revenge in the 500m race on Tuesday at the current Winter Asiad, one day after she was humiliated by the South Korean squad to sneak to third.
"I want to train in the provincial team after the Games because the national team doesn't suit me. I didn't feel much cooperation between our team members today," the 21-year-old said in a harsh voice to journalists after the 1500m defeat, which was broadcast alive on the CCTV sports channel.
But when asked about her "quit plan" after she won the 500m race, she tried to be diplomatic about that, "That was what happened yesterday and just let it pass." She said she won the 500m race thanks to her good final spurt and half-way overtaking. "Team cooperation is not needed in the 500 race."
