The 2023-2024 ISU Short Track Speed Skating World Cup will kick off in Beijing on December 8, which is also the first stop of the season. The Chinese national short track speed skating team recently announced the list of participants, led by Ren Ziwei, Lin Xiaojun and other large armies, with strong strength.
Ren Ziwei won the ISU Short Track Speed Skating Individual All-Around Finals in the 500m event last year and finished third in the all-around. Lin Xiaojun won the gold medal in the men's 5000m relay at this year's World Championships. The Chinese team's powerful players are aiming for next year's Milan Winter Olympics. Therefore, the Beijing World Cup is undoubtedly a good opportunity for them to show their strength and prove themselves.
In addition, the Chinese team has always been able to play a good quality and tactical cooperation in domestic competitions, which has obvious geographical advantages. They are all eager to get off to a good start in their home opener and kick off the new season.
This World Cup is also the first stop of the 2024 Winter Olympics. This means that the position of the competitors will have a direct impact on the qualification and seeding of next year's Olympic Games. Therefore, whether it can achieve outstanding results in local competitions is particularly important for the Chinese team.
The full list of participants announced by the Chinese national team is as follows:
Men: Ren Ziwei, Lin Xiaojun, Liu Shaoang, Liu Shaolin, Li Wenlong, Sun Long.
Women: Fan Kexin, Gong Li, Zang Yize, Wang Xinran, Xu Aili, Wang Ye.
Let's wait and see if the Chinese team can get off to a good start in the first World Cup and start the first shot for the new season!
