Four years ago, the brothers Liu Shaolin and Liu Shaoang achieved a historic breakthrough for Hungary. Liu Shaolin said: "Four years ago in Pyeongchang, we won the first Winter Olympic gold medal in Hungarian history; four years later, when I came to Beijing, everything here is very familiar to me, and Beijing is also my half home, so I also have to work hard to defend this first place." ”

In this Winter Olympics, Liu Shaolin, the "elder of the three dynasties", will play in the men's 500 meters, 1000 meters, 1500 meters, as well as the men's 5000 meters relay and the men's 2000 meters mixed relay, which can be called a "labor model". "I'm already playing in the Winter Olympics for the third time, and I've won olympic gold medals, so I have to show my 'big brother' style at the crucial moment and bring the team up." The young man born in 1995 laughed.

"My younger brother Shao Ang was born in 1998 and belongs to the tiger. This year also happens to be the Year of the Tiger in the Chinese lunar calendar, and it is the year of Shao Ang's life. I believe that he, the 'tiger', will soon be threatening. Liu Shaolin said, "I look forward to our encounters in the arena, whether we encounter China, South Korea, Canada, or the Netherlands, we can provide you with a very wonderful and fierce confrontation." ”
