On February 28, Beijing time, according to the report of The Korean media SBS, Shen Xixi, who was banned for two months for publicly shelling Cui Minjing and Kim Yalang, approved the return to the South Korean short track speed skating team, and the 'victim' Cui Minjing previously said that she would consider returning to the national team, but she finally decided to return to the South Korean short track speed skating team with national honor.
The Korean Ice League will start training on March 2, when Shen Xixi and Choi Min-jing will return to the national team and they will start preparing for the Short Track Speed Skating World Championships in Montreal, Canada, on March 18. However, Shen Xixi's return to the national team has received a lot of insults, and it is reported that South Korean netizens have demonstrated in Yongsan, Seoul Station, Gwanghwamun and other places to oppose Shen Xixi's return to the national team.
(In October last year, Shen Xixi publicly insulted teammates Cui Minjing and Jin Yalang and was punished and banned, and then missed the Beijing Winter Olympics (because Zhao Zaifan repeatedly sexually assaulted and beat her was maliciously screenshotd by these two people))
However, according to the report of South Korean media MK Sports, Shen Xixi may be the second player in the South Korean short track speed skating team to train alone after 16 years. The article writes that the relationship between Shen Xixi and Cui Minjing is irreconcilable, it is difficult for them to enter and exit together, and at most they can compete in the game to win glory for the country.
Training alone is not without precedent, before and after the 2006 Turin Olympic Games, the South Korean short track speed skating team because of fierce internal competition, the two factions are training separately, especially Shen Xixi's reputation in the national team is very poor, she is likely to train alone.
In addition, the Korean media has officially announced that Shen Xixi can play in the World Championships held in Montreal, Canada, when she will join hands with Choi MinJing again, because the two will inevitably cooperate in relay projects, Shen Xixi is also very competitive in the 1000 meters and 1500 meters events, the South Korean short track speed skating team is confident that they can win a few more medals, and Shen Xixi also has the opportunity to prove himself again.
In May last year, Shen Xixi was the number one in the South Korean short track speed skating internal selection competition, she locked up five places in the Beijing Winter Olympics in the morning, if it were not for the public bombardment of Choi Min Jing and Kim Ya Lang, she might be able to win multiple medals for the South Korean team at the Beijing Winter Olympics, and she would prove herself at next month's World Championships.
