On February 6, 2023, Beijing time, the Short Track Speed Skating World Cup ended in Dresden, and Lin Xiaocheng won the men's 500-meter championship, and then won the men's 5000-meter relay championship with his teammates. After waiting 1428 days, Lin Hsiaocheng once again reached the top podium, and he bluntly said after the race that it was the happiest moment in 4 years. The ISU praised the return of the king of Lin Hyo-chan, but the Korean media collectively sang the opposite, bluntly saying that Lin Hyo-chan had not performed well before, and the Korean media said that as Lin Hyo-chan's condition improved, the World Short Track Speed Skating Championships in Seoul this season were even more expected.
Lin Xiaocheng is a Winter Olympic champion and a world all-around champion, but he suddenly fell to the bottom at his peak and was unable to train and compete for a long time. In his most difficult time, the Chinese team accepted him, and since then, Lin Xiaocheng has resumed training and ushered in his own opportunity to play. Because of the long absence of the team, Lin Xiaocheng really needs more games to find his form, and he also trains hard and strives to seize every opportunity to compete.
After a period of adjustment, Lin Xiaocheng finally broke out at the Short Track Speed Skating World Cup in Dresden, and he won the men's 500m gold medal, which was Lin Xiaocheng's first gold medal for the Chinese team and the first individual gold medal won by the Chinese short track speed skating team this season. Subsequently, Lin Xiaocheng and his teammates won the gold medal in the men's 5000m relay, and Lin Xiaocheng won two gold medals in a row on one race day, showing the strength of the Olympic champion.
In fact, Lin Xiaocheng's comprehensive strength is indeed very strong, everyone knows that 1500 meters is his strength, in addition, his 500 meters are also very competitive, there are only a few runners who can break through 40 seconds in the 500 meters race, the Chinese team has Wu Dajing, and Wu Dajing is followed by Lin Xiaocheng. For Lin Xiaocheng and the Chinese short track speed skating team, this gold medal is very significant, Lin Xiaocheng released the pressure and interpreted happiness with tears, he bluntly said that it was the happiest moment in four years, waiting 1428 days, Lin Xiaocheng finally reached the top podium.
In addition, Lin Xiaocheng also said that the Chinese team is a young team, and everyone will continue to work hard to make greater progress. The International Skating Federation reported the news of Lin Xiaocheng's crowning of the double champion for the first time, praising the return of Lin Xiaocheng's return. The ISU said that Lin Xiaocheng showed his former skills and prowess, and after so long, he was back on the top podium, and he was especially happy to celebrate with his Chinese teammates.
However, South Korean netizens were angry when they saw Lin Hyo-chan win the championship, after all, he has become the opponent of the Korean team. South Korea's Seoul Sports Daily said that Lin Hyo-chan had been performing poorly before, which was echoed by another Korean media, which reiterated that Lin Hyo-chan had previously performed poorly in international competitions and did not pose much threat to South Korean players, and Lin Hyo-chan was in tears, as if reflecting his inner pain. The comments of the Korean media are funny and disgusting, the previous poor performance was because Lin Hyo-chan needed more time to adapt to the rhythm of the competition, winning the championship tears is emotional release, is the tears of happiness, and now Lin Hyo-joon is very happy, because the Chinese short track speed skating team is a big family of unity and friendship.
Of course, South Korean media also said that with the improvement of Lim Hyo-chan's condition, the World Short Track Speed Skating Championships in Seoul this season is even more expected. I hope Lin Xiaocheng will continue to work hard, get back to his peak condition as soon as possible, and then compete for more championships!
