Recently, China's doping registration inspection database and inspection database (referred to as the two libraries) list. The world champion Lin Xiaojun, who has attracted much attention, is not among them, causing concern from the outside world, Lin Xiaojun is likely to have no chance to play in the Beijing Winter Olympics at present.
Previously, South Korea confirmed that Olympic champion Lin Hyo-joon lost his Korean citizenship in June 2020 and was naturalized in China. In March, Mr. Lin traveled to China and reportedly signed contracts with provincial agencies in Hebei. However, the Chinese side has no official voice on this, so the outside world has not waited for an official announcement.
Just when the outside world is waiting for the Chinese official Xuan Lin Xiaojun, the list of China's doping registration inspection database and inspection database (referred to as the two libraries) is announced, and when you open it, this most "good" official propaganda document does not have Lin Xiaojun's name. It is worth mentioning that there are 24 Chinese short track speed skaters in the registered inspection library, and 4 people in the inspection library, all of whom are first-line players in China's short track speed skating. In addition, naturalized players such as Gu Ailing of freestyle skiing and Zhu Yi of figure skating are on the list.
It can be seen that Lin Xiaojun will not participate in the Beijing Winter Olympics, which is very likely. According to South Korean media reports, because the last international competition that Lim Hyo Joon played for South Korea was the Short Track Speed Skating World Championships in March 2019, it was impossible to catch up with the Winter Olympics that began on February 4, 2022. Of course, the South Korean media also said that unless the Korean Olympic Committee, the Chinese Olympic Committee and the International Ice Union reach an agreement, Lin Xiaojun can break through the rules, but now it seems that this is less and less likely.
In addition, in the "two libraries" of ice hockey, there are a total of 29 players, 17 women and 12 men. However, according to the regulations, the ice hockey competition of the Winter Olympic Games, the ice hockey women's team registered a lineup of 23 people, the men's 25 people, that is to say, ice hockey, which is an unpopular sport in China, is simply not enough. So what to do? The answer is known naturalization. The naturalization of ice hockey, perhaps even more fierce than football, is likely to come from the United States and Canada, two ice hockey hot countries, of course, basically have Chinese ancestry. Finally, we wait for the big list to arrive.
