Three years ago, on March 10, 2019, short track speed skating winter Olympic champion Lim Hyo-joon represented The Korean team in the last international event. After that, Lin Xiaojun chose to naturalize in China, and according to the regulations, Lin Xiaojun needs to wait 3 years for the Chinese team to play. Now, Lin Xiaojun has officially lifted the ban! He qualified to play for the Chinese short track speed skating team!
Lin Xiaojun's naturalization in China can be called the biggest thing in recent years, as a brother of Korean short track speed skating and the winter Olympic champion, Lin Xiaojun changed his nationality and became a Chinese because he was kicked out of the Korean team.
However, in the beijing Winter Olympics, we did not see Lin Xiaojun. The reason is that, according to the regulations, short-track speed skaters are not allowed to play for 3 years after changing their nationality, and the time is calculated from the last game representing the former nationality, that is, on March 10, 2022, Lin Xiaojun officially lifted the ban!
Congratulations to Lin Xiaojun, congratulations to the Chinese short track speed skating team, welcoming a top short track speed skating athlete. Lin Xiaojun's personal strength is beyond doubt, the key lies in how well he is practicing now, and whether he still maintains the top level? Judging from the various helplessness and attitudes expressed by Lin Xiaojun, who was absent from the Beijing Winter Olympics before, Lin Xiaojun is already very eager to return to the field, and he looks forward to competing with his sworn enemy Huang Daxian in the men's 1500 meters, whose strongest sport is also the Winter Olympic Championship.
If nothing else, Lin Xiaojun can become the main force of the Chinese short track speed skating men's team, and even compete for the first person in the team to be the first person in the long distance, and now the question is whether Lin Xiaojun will play in the upcoming World Championships? I believe that as long as the formalities are in place, Lin Xiaojun's international debut on behalf of the Chinese team is getting closer and closer.
