On March 12, Beijing time, South Korean media MK said that official news, from the 12th, 26-year-old Olympic champion Lin Xiaojun can represent the Chinese team in all international events "unrestricted".
On March 11, 2019, South Korean short track speed skating winter olympic champion Lim Hyo-joon represented the Korean team in the last international event, after which Lin Hyo-joon was naturalized in China, but it takes 3 years to play for the Chinese team. Now, starting from the 12th, Lin Xiaojun will participate in all international competitions as a Chinese short track speed skating team without any restrictions.
South Korean media said that at the ISU World Championships in Sofia, Bulgaria, on March 11, 2019, Lim Hyo Joon alone won five gold medals. If the International Olympic Committee, the International Skating Federation and the Korean Sports Association all agree, then Lim Hyo-joon can represent China at the Winter Olympics, but the Chinese side has not applied for it, so Lin Hyo-joon's first major event for the Chinese team is likely to be the 2022 World Championships.
The 2022 World Championships will be held in Montreal, Canada from April 9 to April 11, and Lin Xiaojun may represent the Chinese short track speed skating team in this World Championships.
Lin Xiaojun actively learned Chinese after naturalizing in China, and constantly updated Chinese social media, and even participated in live broadcasts, and has appeared many times inside and outside the ice rink, which has been well known by Chinese ice fans, and many people expect Lin Xiaojun to represent the Chinese team on the field. The 26-year-old Lin Xiaojun is currently in a good year, and he himself is very much looking forward to the Milan Winter Olympics in 4 years. Starting a new journey, can Lin Xiaojun have more surprises? We are very much looking forward to it.
