       Chinese Wang Meng won the women’s 500m short track speed skating gold medal at the Turin Winter Olympics here on Feb. 15, 2006.

   Wang Meng led all the way to clock 44.345 seconds, winning the nation’s third Winter Olympic gold after Yang Yang’s two in 2002. The 20-year-old Wang, who has won four World Cup racesover 500m, proved herself as the most consistent short tracker in the world.

   Like China’s Athens Olympic champion Liu Xiang, Wang jumped to the podium（颁奖台） and waved excitedly to the cheering crowd.
