Lim Hyo-jun was expelled from the South Korean national team in 2019 and the following yearHe became a Chinese citizen, suffered from countless ridicule and insults from Koreans.
However, in this game, Lin Xiaojun passed all the wayWin the gold medal, Lin Xiaojun is almost fanaticalHold high the five-star red flag on your body!
He had waited too long for this day.
Well, such a Winter Olympic champion,Why was it ruthlessly abandoned by the South Korean team?What exactly did Lin Xiaojun go through?
Lim Hyo-jun was born in Daegu, South Korea in 1996.
Speaking of which, this talented athlete,The early years were also full of disasters and difficulties
At first, Lin Xiaojun always wanted to be a swimmer, and began to participate in amateur training when he was in elementary school, and it is said that his performance is not bad.
But what people didn't expect was that Lin Xiaojun was in the second grade of primary schoolBecause of an accident that caused the eardrum to rupture, had to announce the early death of the dream of swimming.
After this blow, Lin Xiaojun quickly determined his new target, that isShort track speed skating
But when he was in his first year of junior high school, fate played a cruel joke on him.
During a training session,Lin Xiaojun suffered a fracture in his lower leg, had to recuperate for a year and a half.
has hit two blows successively, so that the young Lin Xiaojun is thinking about whether he is really not suitable for eating the bowl of rice of athletes.
Fortunately, in the end, he gritted his teeth and persevered, and after a year and a half of recuperation, he relied on his super talent and successfully joined in the third year of junior high schoolSouth Korea Youth National Team, officially embarked on the path of athletes.
Then the glorious era that belonged to him officially began.
In 2012, Lin Xiaojun, who was only 16 years old, participated with the South Korean national teamSbruck Youth Winter Olympics
In his first appearance in the Winter Olympics, Lin Xiaojun competed in the men's 1000m and 500m short track speed skating racesThey won gold and silver medals, became famous in the first fight and became a well-known sports hero in South Korea!
However,The bad luck of the past has reappeared
After stunning the world for the first time, Lin Xiaojun was because of itAnkle fractures, ligament ruptures, lumbar compression fractures, wrist fracturesand so on many times.
I really have to sigh that this genius boy is really a lot of disasters.
Fortunately, Lin Xiaojun's luck is not bad, or his physical condition is hard enough, and after seven major surgeries, he can finally let his body return to the track.
In 2017, Lin Xiaojun re-emerged from the mountain, and once again amazed the world.
In the short track speed skating competitions in Korea, he won the first place in the 1500m and super 1500m races respectivelyPyeongChang Winter OlympicsEligibility.
Subsequently, Lin Xiaojun won the short track speed skating World Cup in BudapestMen's champion in the 1000m and runner-up in the 500m.
Later, at the 2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, Lin Xiaojun also achieved great results, winning the third place in the men's 500m short track speed skating race and the championship in the 1500m race.
Through his brilliant performance in these international competitions, Lin Xiaojun swore to everyone that he was returning as king, and thenForced to leave South Korea, so what's going on here?
In 2019, Lin Xiaojun has won good results in several international competitions, and even several gold medals.
It stands to reason that Lin Xiaojun at this time should be at the peak of his life.
Then, the fable of a misstep into a thousand hatreds happened.
In a training session on June 17 of that year, Lin Xiaojun was dissatisfiedHuang Daxian "flirted" with female team membersand a tooth for a toothtook off teammate Huang Daxian's pants in public.
At this moment, Lin Xiaojun will stab Lou Zi.
After the incident was **, Lin Xiaojun's South Korean national teamwas directly kicked out of the novice village, the impact is quite bad.
Then, Lin Xiaojun was banned for one year.
If it's just a one-year ban, it's nothing, but what Lin Xiaojun didn't expect was that Huang Daxian held on to this matter tightly and accused Lin Xiaojun of "sexual harassment of his peers" against himtook Lim Hyo-jun to court
In the 2020 Seoul court verdict,Lim was sentenced to one year in prison and fined 3 million won
Plus, there's up to 40 hours of psychological**.
For a moment, everyone was stunned, no one expected this matter to develop to such a pointThis is the end of Lim Hyo-jun's career.
Some netizens speculated that Huang Daxian himself was not a good person, knowing that Lin Xiaojun was doing this to help other girls come outIs it annoyance?Or do you want to take the opportunity to get rid of a competitor?
In fact, Huang Daxian's character is obvious to everyone.
In 2022, at the Beijing Olympics,Huang Daxian raised his skate blade and kicked my country's athlete Wu Dajing's hot search, presumably no one doesn't know.
In order to avoid Huang Daxian's movements, Wu Dajing slowed down, causing himself to be surpassed by the players behind him and missing the final.
After the game, the camera was given to Huang Daxian, and everyone found outHe was actually laughing
This incident gave the majority of netizens a new understanding of South Korea's sportsmanship.
I've seen shameless, but I've never seen such shameless.
In addition to this incident, an insider saidHuang Daxian often "harassed" others in the team
And Huang Daxian's reversal of denying people and taking Lin Xiaojun to court is understandable for netizens to guess so.
However, Lim Hyo-jun has been wronged in South Korea and is not limited to this matter, according to sourcesLin Xiaojun will be ostracized by the team members in the team
We don't know if it's because they're jealous or what, only they know.
After all this, Lin Xiaojun resolutely gave up his Korean nationalityChoose to become a Chinese national
However, this is not the first athlete to renounce his Korean citizenship.
There was a South Korean short track speed skater Ahn Hyun-so beforeBecame a Russian citizen, now known as Victor Ann.
Ahn Hyun-so is also a talented athlete, having won gold medals in the 1,000m individual, 1,500m and men's 5,000m relay at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Italy, as well as a bronze medal in the men's individual 500m.
Four medals made Ahn Hyun-so becomeThe most decorated athlete at the Winter Olympics in Turin
But an accident happened, Ahn Hyun-so had to withdraw from the national team because of a training mistake that caused a broken knee, and what is even more infuriating isSouth Korea did not provide any financial support to Ahn Hyun-so and ignored him
After seeing the true face of the country, Ahn Hyun-so decisively accepted the invitation of Russia and became a Russian citizen.
These two players who have renounced their nationality are enough to seeSouth Korea's care and care for its own country's athletes is simply not enough
However, Lin Xiaojun became a Chinese citizen and was angrily scolded by Korean netizens, calling him a "traitor" and a "thief".
Well, after coming to China,Will Lin Xiaojun be able to create brilliance again?
Speaking of which, when Lin Xiaojun just announced his naturalization as a Chinese citizen, not to mention that Koreans scolded him, even many Chinese were not very optimistic about him.
There is no way, because the information is closed, everyone only sees that South Korea's ** was about to scold him as "scum in the world", plus at that timeThe THAAD incidentThe aftermath is still unsettled, so many Chinese think this is the oneI can't get along in South Korea, so I come to China to make moneyexists.
But is that really the case?
First of all, it is necessary to correct Lim Hyo-jun's name here, and in 2021, after a two-year-long appeal, the South Korean court hasLin Xiaojun was declared innocent, although Lin Xiaojun is no longer Korean at this time, it still proves his innocence.
Secondly, Lin Xiaojun is not one of those Korean stars who make moneyHe is a talented athlete and has strength
Lin Xiaojun also lived up to expectations, after joining the Chinese nationality, despite the incomprehension and criticism of the society, he integrated into the collective with his heart, and poured his money into teaching his lessons in South KoreaBe both an athlete and a trainer, which has greatly enhanced the strength of the Chinese short track speed skating team.
As for Lin Xiaojun himself, he is working hard, hoping to prove his strength and value through a brilliant victory, and the 2023 World Championships is his chance.
In the World Short Track Speed Skating Championships held in Seoul, South Korea, after a few years, Lin Xiaojun finally stepped on the international stage again, but he was once the pride of South KoreaNow he is wearing a Chinese team uniform
In this game, Lin Xiaojun tried his best in addition to showing his too strong strengthexpressed his love for China
After the game,Lin Xiaojun took the lead and held the five-star red flag with Chinese team members, ascended to the podium, and under the light of the five-star red flag,Lin Xiaojun sang the Chinese national anthem with sincerityThis move naturally touched countless viewers present and online.
Although some people questioned that his behavior was a show, it was so-calledThere is no saint in the heart
No matter what Lin Xiaojun thinks in his heart, at least at this moment, he is indeed saluting the five-star red flag as a Chinese, just by virtue of thisHe was a respectable compatriot
After the game, Lin Xiaojun praised on his social platform:Thanks to my teammates, I wouldn't have achieved this glory without them.
In this regard, netizens also cheered for him, affectionately calling this Chinese athlete named XiaolinI wish him that he can continue to make persistent efforts to add glory to the five-star red flag.
There are many reasons why the Chinese nation has survived to this day, and one of them is inclusiveness and openness, and in China's thousands of years of history, we have never refused others to join.
That's rightIf you don't accumulate small streams, you can't become a riverFor those who are truly willing to join the Chinese family, we always welcome them.
