He won China's only gold medal at the
2018 Winter Olympic Games in Pyeongchang . He won the
Men's 500 metres , setting an Olympic record (heat) and two world records (quarterfinal and final) while leading wire-to-wire in all three contests en route to capturing the gold.
[2] He became only the second person in history to have skated the discipline in under 40 seconds, after American
J. R. Celski who managed the feat in 2012 in Calgary at a much higher elevation where the reduced air density tends to give the skater an advantage due to lowered air resistance. Wu also won a silver medal with his teammates in the
men's 5000m team relay .[
