2022 is a year of ice and snow, the Beijing Winter Olympics were successfully held, Chinese Olympic athletes achieved very good results at home, and the Chinese team made history in the gold medal rankings. The short track speed skating project has also become a competition that everyone pays attention to, such as Wu Dajing, Ren Ziwei, Sun Long and other players, which have become popular in China. Some foreign athletes, such as South Korea's Huang Daxian, Hungary's Liu Shaoang and Liu Shaolin brothers, are also in focus.
Next, the Canadian Short Track Speed Skating World Championships will be held, but for various reasons, the starlight of this year's World Championships is dim, and many world champions do not participate. It is reported that the Chinese short track speed skating team has officially announced its retirement from the competition and will not participate in this year's World Championships, in addition to resting and adjusting, the most important reason is that the epidemic situation abroad is severe, from the perspective of safety, withdrawing is the best choice.
The South Korean team suffered a huge blow, with Olympic champion Hwang Dae-hyun withdrawing from the competition because he tested positive, and his teammate Park Chang-hyuk also withdrew from the competition. Huang Daxian is one of the best short track speed skaters in the world, and at the Beijing Winter Olympics, he won the gold medal in the men's 1500 meters event. After Hwang Dae-hyun withdrew, the overall competitiveness of the South Korean team was average. However, Cui Minjing is still a favorite to win gold.
Now, Hungary's Liu Shaoang has become a big favorite for gold in men's events, he is only 24 years old this year, and he is also the gold medalist in the 500 meters event of the Winter Olympics, and he has achieved great success at a young age. Just recently, Liu Shaoang released a big poster of the World Championships in Canada on social media to warm up for the competition and looked very much looking forward to it. After the End of the Winter Olympics, Liu Shaoang entered a state of preparation ahead of schedule. It is worth mentioning that his brother Liu Shaolin does not seem to participate in the competition, and may also be to complete Liu Shaoang's Grand Slam.
Liu Shaoang posted two poster photos on social media, he should have arrived in Canada, positioned in Canada. At the scene of the competition, a large poster of the short track speed skating competition was also erected. It can be seen that Liu Shaoang is also on the poster, very eye-catching, he is the focus of this year's World Championships, there is a chance to win medals in the 500 meters, 1000 meters and 1500 meters events.
Liu Shaoang is already an Olympic champion, and if he can win the gold medal at the World Championships, he will complete the Grand Slam in 2022. For him, he has achieved such a high level of achievement at a young age, and his personal ability is indeed very strong.
Liu Shaoang's older brother Liu Shaolin, who is 27 years old and a veteran in short track speed skating, is absent from the World Championships. At the Beijing Winter Olympics, Liu Shaolin almost won the gold medal, but was cancelled because of a foul in the 1000m event. Liu Shaolin's absence this time also made the World Championships lack some highlights. In terms of personal life, Liu Shaolin and Liu Shaoang have both fallen in love, Liu Shaoang's girlfriend has a very high appearance, and it may be that in the next few years, the two will also enter the palace of marriage.
