The 2022 short track speed skating world championships kicked off, considering that the main team members needed to make an adjustment period shortly after the end of the Winter Olympics, the Chinese short track speed skating team did not send players to participate. But in addition to the Chinese team, all other teams have sent the main players to compete. Liu Shaoang, the champion of the men's 500m event at the Beijing Winter Olympics, and Cui Minjing, the champion of the women's 1500m, all made their debuts. In this competition, the biggest attraction is not the final champion of each individual event, but the return of South Korean female player Shen Xixi to the field. Previously, she was pushed to the forefront of being violated by her coach.
Interestingly, Chinese netizens have repeatedly left messages on their personal social platforms to join the Chinese short track speed skating team. Lim Hyo-woo, who won the men's 1500m for South Korea at the 2018 Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, is now a member of the Chinese short track speed skating team. Coincidentally, the main reason why Lin Xiaowei quit the Korean short track speed skating team and changed his nationality to join the Chinese short track speed skating team was that he once pickped the pants of his teammates during training and eventually parted ways with the team. As a former sister of the Korean women's team, Shen Xixi's experience is very similar to That of Lin Hyo-woo.
But in the end, she still did not choose to leave the South Korean short track speed skating team, which also made many Chinese netizens regret. At this short track speed skating world championships, Shen Xixi participated in the competition of three events, and her biggest opponent was Cui Minjing. Dutch star Shultin withdrew due to physical reasons, and the duel between Shen Xixi and Cui Minjing became the biggest attraction of the World Championships. South Korea's short track speed skating team has always been a "thorn in the eye" of the Chinese team, and the two teams have been incompatible in the past few Winter Olympic Games, and each match will have a different spark.
The competition between the two Korean female players has also made Chinese ice fans look lively with interest. For Shen Xixi and Cui Minjing, domestic ice fans are not strangers. In the women's 1000m final of the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, Cui Minjing, who accidentally fell off the track, was not willing to be lonely, and deliberately brought down Shen Xixi with her hand, and both of them missed the top three. Chinese short track speed skating Olympic champion Wang Meng once said that the South Korean women's team likes to play tricks, on the surface it looks calm and calm, but in the dark it is turbulent. Many domestic netizens have ridiculed, "Watching Korean short-track speed skating fall off the track is the most enjoyable thing"! As Shen Xixi represented the South Korean team at the World Championships, Chinese netizens expected her to join China's short track speed skating like Lin Xiaowei.
Compared with other female players on the Korean team, Shen Xixi is the most popular among Chinese netizens. Zhou Yang, a two-time Women's 1500m champion at the Winter Olympics, has said that Shen Xixi is the cleanest of the South Korean women's teams and will not maliciously foul others. At the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, it was Zhou Yang who surpassed Shen Xixi in the last two laps to successfully defend the women's 1500m championship. Previously, after Shen Xixi was not eligible for the national team for personal reasons, some netizens quipped that Wu Dajing pursued this South Korean talented girl, and now it seems that The Chinese short-track brother may have failed to live up to his good intentions.
