Is Han Dongao champion Lin Xiaojun the first Korean speed skater to "run away"?

In fact, Lin Xiaojun is not the first Korean speed skater to escape from China. In the summer of 20 19, Jin Shantai, the former head coach of Korean short track speed skating team, became the foreign head coach of China short track team and took charge of the women's team. In May 2020, former Korean women's hockey coach Kim became the physical training director of short track speed skating and speed skating in China. In August 2020, South Korean star Hyun-Soo Ahn, who won three gold medals in the 2006 Winter Olympics, announced that he would coach the Chinese short track speed skating team.

It is worth mentioning that Hyun-Soo Ahn lost his national team on 20 10 and became a Russian citizen on 20 1 1 due to the problem of post-injury treatment. Hyun-Soo Ahn won three gold medals and one bronze medal on behalf of the Russian team in the 20 14 Winter Olympics in Sochi.

At present, although the China team has famous players such as Han Tianyu, Wu Dajing and Ren, compared with the Korean team, its competitiveness in the middle and long distance is slightly insufficient. If Lin Xiaojun finally plays for China, it will obviously bring direct help to China's overall strength.
