On February 26, 2022, Beijing time, South Korea's short track speed skater Shen Shixi officially lifted the ban, and she will return to the South Korean national team on February 27 to prepare for the short track speed skating World Championships. On the surface, the return of Shen Shixi can enhance the strength of the Korean women's team, but considering the controversy between Shen Shixi and Choi MinJing, Kim Yalang and others, her return may not be a good thing.
Despite controversial fouls and infighting, rational analysis says that South Korean short track speed skating is indeed very powerful. Before the Beijing Winter Olympics, the South Korean team had a bad start, but still won 2 gold medals and 3 silver medals, ranking first in the short track speed skating medal table.
Specifically, the leader of the South Korean men's team is Hwang Dae-hyun, who won the gold medal in the men's 1500 meters. The leader of the South Korean women's team is Choi Min-jin, who won the gold medal in the women's 1500m and the silver medal in the women's 1000m. According to the previous strength, the South Korean team is the favorite to win the men's 5000m relay and the women's 3000m relay, but in the end they both won the silver medal, which has a lot to do with their own strength weakening.
In addition to Hwang Daehyun, the other players in the South Korean men's team are all second-rate, and Lin Xiaojun, who was once equal to Huang Daxian's strength, has left, he joined the Chinese short track speed skating team, and changed his name to Lin Xiaoyuan. The South Korean women's team was also weakened by infighting, and Cui Minjing could have played with Shen Shixi, but Shen Shixi missed the Beijing Winter Olympics because of the temporary ban.
Just imagine, if Shen Shixi participated in the Beijing Winter Olympics, the South Korean women's team would be more confident to participate in the women's 3000m relay. Now, Shen Shixi has finally lifted the ban, and she will return to the national team to prepare for the Short Track Speed Skating World Championships. Is this necessarily a good thing? It is difficult to say, because shen Shixi and Cui Minjing and Jin Yalang have a poor relationship, these players are already fiercely competitive in their personal projects, and now that they have a gap, I am afraid it is difficult to expect them to smile and take revenge, right?
The next highlight is the Short Track Speed Skating World Championships, and the South Korean team has already started to prepare, and of course they are very confident. On the side of the Chinese team, Lin Xiaoyuan was immediately qualified to represent the Chinese team, and his desire to participate was very strong. In the upcoming World Championships, Lin Xiaowei may be able to face Huang Daxian head-on?
In any case, we need to give Lin Xiaoyuan more patience, after all, he has not participated in the official competition for a long time. Everyone understands that Lin Xiaoyuan is very strong, the key is to adjust the mentality and restore self-confidence, and wish the Chinese short track speed skating team all the best!
